      Yes, I want to do it on the Odin 2 Portal when it is released. I am going to try following this video for that. It is a way more powerful processor so I believe it should run better.

    I’m glad apps like Winlator are finally gaining traction! I posted some gameplay of Halo 1 & 2 and Skyrim, but I got a bit of negative feedback from certain subreddit communities. Hopefully, this will help boost legitimacy and awareness. Trying out these games was the first thing I wanted to do when I got my device.
    Thanks again

    I've been reluctant to try Winlator because my highest performance emulation "handheld" is a repurposed Android phone with an SD845. Based on some other tutorials I'd seen I was under the impression that this emulator would be annoyingly difficult to configure. Then, after all that, I likely wouldn't have enough performance to actually run anything worth playing.
    That last sentence might very well be accurate. However, your tutorial has made the setup process for Winlator look very accessible. When I've got some free time I think I'll use it to try Winlator. Thanks!

    • @retrotechdad

      Yes I wonder if that would give better results, as Winlator uses proot to create an isolated filesystem to run Wine, DXVK etc within, and that isn't needed if you're running Linux. Valve are also rumoured (based on steamdb scraping) to be working on ARM native versions of the Steam client and Proton... which is thought to be related to their mystery upcoming headset but hopefully could help handheld devices like this too.

    En mi caso tengo un smartphone POCO F2 Pro va como el primer día de uso y su SD865 (el mismo de la retroid) es brutal!!
    Claro!! En la Retroid debe ir mucho mejor, ya que tiene disipación por ventilador.

    Incredible if it works so easily. Anyway, I would love to know does older pc games can work, like Lord of the rings return of the king, or prince of persia sands of time. Probably they do. Also, this is great if tomb raider legend pc works. But i wonder regards android gaming - can it play alien isolation android edition? If it can I will definitely buy it as soon as I can. Especially because android version is better than switch version because it has performance settings while switch doesn’t.

      It's going to be tough with the RP3+. The combination of the lack of power and the Mali graphics impacts compatibility and performance.

      Your best bet with Fallout 3 is the Tale of Two Wastelands mod. It combines New Vegas and Fallout 3 into one big game (both of which running in New Vegas itself).

    Indeed a great viedo.
    Does the FPS limit work for anyone? I set 30 and older game menus still run at 200-300fps.
    I have an issue with controls on the mini where left stick registers the same as dpad in games, is this normal? In Winlator 8, control bindings work fine but games will register left stick left to the same as dpad left (a) instead of cursor left.
    Has anyone tried Unreal Tournament, it works but need to work on the container settings to get the best gameplay. Performance on Box86 breaks Bot AI and they go a bit crazy! Intermediate works alright but still not smooth. I believe its Winlator settings as it works fine on RG Cube (which is a much weaker device) using Winlator Mali.

    Prince of Persia keeps having rendering problems where everything but the sky flickers. Is there any settings changes that help? I think capping the frame rate to 30 delayed its onset. But maybe I should try different gpu settings?

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  15 днів тому

      Are you trying on the Mini or a different device? I'd probably remove the frame rate cap since I found it to run pretty well.

      This is the retroid mini. It will be fine and then a few minutes in it’ll be mostly sky everywhere.
      I followed all your steps except I can’t figure out how to do “low graphics” mode like it says in the corner text description of your video.

All I've used my android device for is emulating PS1 games so far. Been replaying OG RE2 and Silent Hill 1 and it's a blast.
