OH MY GOODNESS!!! These games look BEAUTIFUL!! I can't believe this on a TABLET!!! It looks just like it would if I was running on my DESKTOP!! That thing is a BEAST!!! I wish I could afford a nice tablet like this, but then again I don't "NEED" it lol I can play the games on my desktop, because I don't really leave the house and I'm always in front of my computer. But to see the progress that has been made not only with the chips and tablets, but with the emulators is just FANTASTIC!!! Thank YOU for sharing all this tech with us!! I can't wait to see what's next! :)
Love these videos. Have you considered revisiting running Andronix on any of the latest Samsung devices? Kind of curious how emulating desktop programs like Blender and Gimp perform on the latest hardware.
Using this to play Ff10, Resident evil 1 remade, revelation, silent hills is such a treat. You can even use a hdmi adaptor to connect your switch and all kind of modern consoles to it to use it as a external monitor.
@@rokko_fable connects to windows without issue and works like a secondary monitor! def recommend a stand though, but its nice to put things like videos, spotify, tabs on that while I use my laptop monitor for games
Killer Instinct running at 60 finally. It struggle even on SD 855 for me, unless I use the version in RetroArch using the MAME 2003 core. That runs 60fps for me due to it having speed hacks for KI.
I would like to see a video/video series where you show your "gaming beast" emulation pc, in which you go through the "best" cores/standalone emulators running with upscale etc. for 4k. Basically a video for us who has powerful computers who wants 4k/upscale and running everything at it's very limit (without issues).
Mobile gaming can be much more than this and has so much potential. I mean Nintendo Switch can run Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal! Why a $1200 device doesn’t have great libraries like $300 Switch? If only more game devs releasing AAA games for mobile, instead we get f2p games riddled with micro transactions.
My guess is that there are so many different types of devices that’s it’s hard to optimize games properly without people with decade old phones complaining about performance and compatibility. Mobile chips have been more powerful than the switch’s for a long time now so it can be done.
@@nobro_i_ate_u Apple Arcade is ass and so is apple. I will say generally it seems dolphin can run very well on iPhone 13 better than even gaming androids that have cooling fans but a android or windows can be used for years after 10 or more a iPhone or mac becomes obsolete you can’t use it anymore and I’ve seen proof of this
Please make comparisons with the top end devices. Because it is obvious that it would have really good performance. What important is how it compares with the other tablets.
The s tabs are pretty much peerless in the Android sphere. Yet the M1 chip apple tablets would crush the Ultra in benchmarks - particular their gpus. I don't know much about emulation on ipads though.
WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE AMAZING XBOX CONTROLLERS? DAMMIT. You've cost me so much money and I have so many XBOX controllers because of you. You always have the coolest ones. Though this time it looks like a custom job.
For dolphin performance being worse on some games could be one of 2 things. 1. Newer builds of dolphin are more accurate so it taxes the CPU more. 2. There could be some hidden regressions. If it's only Billy Hatcher you could dig and report differences between newer and older dolphins.
I ordered this a few days ago..... I am really happy I did ..... bought mine with the 512gb version..... I mainly will use this for photography video editing.... but its nice to have a retro gaming machine on the fly as well...... well worth the money
I have the Galaxy S22 ultra with same processor and I play almost everything. On PS2 the only game I cannot play at 2x is Need for Speed Most Wanted at 16:9. It gets some terrible frame drops in some points and it seems random, I thought it was the amount of textures, but I was driving on a not so demanding area at full speed and suddenly it went down. At 4:3 it handles better. At 1x is super steady, but looks pretty bad.
@@robmalcolm8042 Yeah, but my thing is I don't want to buy another device when I can emulate consoles on my PC and and almost all on my phone. I now have the Fold 4 and it works really well, better than the S22Ultra.
@@geekatari4391 that’s from the tsmc chip that the s22 ultra doesn’t have but the fold has. Snapdragon gen 2 will have tsmc as well so the s23 ultra will be a very different phone from the s22. Also yes I agree I do most my emulation on android for convenience since I’m Busy with work and family so my consoles have sat it out but the steam deck is able to emulate just about as much as a pc and more than a android can. Such as switch (android is getting there but it can do yuzu and ryujinx) and even ps3 and Xbox which is unheard of in a handheld usually aren’t powerful enough for that . Overall the steam deck can handle emulation even of GameCube really well. I think for the base price of 400 it’s worth it. I wouldn’t pay 7 or 550 for the higher models cause then it’s not worth it
Hi there, thank you for your great videos so far. Would you please make a video focus on game controllers' latency playing on this s8 ultra tablet, esp ps4/ps5/xboxs/xboxx ones? I am a casual gamer, often play CoD:M 1-2 hours per day on my phone and considering to buy a controller to play on my tablet. It would be great video that many viewers wanna watch. Thank you and have a nice day. Cheers.
It’s great but with same price you could just buy proper laptop and and run more emulation like Switch. Also the 14 inch screen makes it too large as portable gaming on the go anyway
can you do a video on the orange pi 3 LTS? it seems to be the only cheap SBC at regular price right now. Cant find any reviews on it anywhere. As always great content. keep up the excellent work!
Amazing video. If it's not to much to ask could you share settings for a regular controller (PS4) for emulating wii games. I have the same tablet. Managed to setup Gamecube just fine.
Is there anyway you can do a walk through of your settings on the aethersx2? I have the exact same tab s8 ultra and sly cooper 2 with base safe optimal settings I'm getting crazy lag. Would love a walk through. I know you mention 2x upscale and open gl, but anything else besides default graphics/system settings?
Are you also @ETA_PRIME_official? Got a reply from that account. Wasn't sure if that was you or someone else. Just set up my new Samsung S8+ and it's a huge step up from my S7 and previous tablets around that size. Can't imaging going to the Ultra haha. Great video as always!
Why you don't use Citra MMJ as 3DS emulator? It's a lot better than Citra Official. Also, in Citra MMJ, StreetPass Mii Plaza is more stable with FMV Hack and CPU Usage Limit with New 3DS mode disabled. Actually, why don't you test StreetPass Mii Plaza next time?
Its not, ive seen slight improvements in some games. But not enough to justify price to performance. If i had a tab s7 plus instead of the s7 i probably would have stuck it out until the s9
@@chuboasshippo2181 meh, i really think the biggest issue for samsung and android in general is software optimization. The hardware is plenty strong to run any app. I think samsung should invest more time and resources into making apps better optimized for a better user experience.
I compared my Note 20 Ultra (snapdragon 865+) to the Tab S8+ and performance was minimal on some emulators, others like AetherSX2 performance was nearly doubled.
If there was a Direct Connection from Tablet to TV then it would be the best. Cause if you mirror the cast to the TV it Lags. So it's a 9 out of 10. Cause sometimes people want their gaming on a bigger screen.
For the price a laptop would be the smarter purchase. For £849.99 of the Queens pounds I could get an ASUS TUF F15 15.6in i5 16GB 1TB RTX3050 which seems a much better deal as opposed to the starting price of this tablet at £999.00 for the Ultras 128GB | 8GB model.
you cant use apps. you cant remove keyboard. you cant make it completely silent. laptop batterys dont last a day without being hooked to a wall. Laptops dont charge full in an hour... should i keep going? You could also get steam and play all your computer games on it.

If you live near one, Walmart has had their xbone controllers new for 45$ lately. The dualshock 4 has slightly less latency on Android, works great too. Then a solid 10-20 phone clip
I'd really love a video, or two, on third party controllers for old consoles. Both for the original hardware, and Bluetooth/USB for emulation hardware. In my case I've wasted hundreds of dollars trying to get some good Motion+ controllers for my Wii's, but I'm now cutting my losses and buying pre-owned or new old-stock. I've also been looking for some good wired Xbox 360 replacements, but nothing really met the quality of the originals.
@@valuehunter5544 I have a couple of AliExpress-controllers, as well as a couple bought locally which I might as well have bought on AE, and the trouble I get with them is the tracking of the IR-bar. I'm not certain of whether it is that they aren't sensitive enough, or *too* sensitive of glare, but the controls get jumpy. Not so with the original controllers. That aside, it's always good to know the options for other old consoles as well. There are plenty of knock-offs that might look the part, and even work ok, but have terrible build quality, and it is hard to keep up with it all.
You should take a look at the 8bitdo suite of controllers. They do kind of modernized versions of retro controllers for alot of the older systems. They also have some interesting unique controllers as well. My favorite of theirs is the 8bitdo pro2 it's a perfect general all around controller for retro games because It's literally like they crossed a playstation controller with a super nintendo controller. Works on a bunch of systems wired and bluetooth highly recommend it.
Love your videos. I was wondering if you can use the the tablet as an extened display using the type c port. I know they have on over the air option but that latency seems too high.
Yep, you can do that with a simple wired adapter to a HDMI port. Ideally you would use one of those hubs that offer multiple connection options, like usb ports for a keyboard and mouse and wired ethernet (depends on your needs.) These tablets offer multiple wireless solutions, but if you're referring to gaming the latency would be too high for gaming (Chromecast is the biggest offender here.) But apart from Chromecast other wireless connection options would be fine for regular web-browsing or watching streaming content. But you still can't beat be wired connection.
Yuzu will be easier to run than CEMU. Wii U had PowerPC and custom AMD GPU, so full emulation is required which is gonna be really taxing. Switch on the other hand uses ARM (custom Nvidia Tegra X1) processor. So we don't need to emulate the entire system, just add compatibility layer, which is closer to running the native system than emulating.
I am of course over simplifying things. There's gonna be additional work, which will be required. But you get general idea of the difference between the two.
The answer to your question is yes. However it does drain battery faster. I just got the tablet hub anker stand 551 usb-c hub. Be mindful your tablet may not fit on its ledge, and it's ledge can scratch your screen if it falls forward. but I've used another hub for years. Ugreen usb c 5 in 1. The power drain makes ethernet hubs sad to use honestly.
Nah its not near as good as the tablet and I have both. Emulated metal gear solid 2 on aethersx2 for both s22 ultra and s8 ultra tab. Way better results emulating. S22 ultra lags pretty bad after a couple minutes due to overheating.
The fact that the S8 ultra does not play lost light, guns at dawn, Diablo immortal, evil lands, call of duty mobile, Black desert Mobile, raid, Tower of fantasy, war robots, tactical, cross out, Eve echoes, Battle prime, badlanders, perfect world, second Galaxy Pirate code and Dead trigger at a native resolution is a big no-no for this type of price while this tablet is amazing at gaming and impressive added screen size The only thing that's going to look sharp is going to be emulators as far as native support for regular games that come out of the Play store a lot of them are going to be grainy and they're just going to look delicious cuz they're in a large screen so you're going to be all hyped up about it but when all the hype is gone and you left with that $800 bill in your pocket Just know that none of the badass games that are for Android play at a native resolution once again we're forced to play downscaled which is garbage. There is almost zero support for this tablet in the gaming community.
Hello, good afternoon. One question, is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 14.6 128GB with 8 GB of RAM? could you do a little more exhaustive test of how ps2 games are doing?

Can't wait for you to check out the steam deck
What about GT3 or 4? That would be awesome
Why the hell did I buy an iPad Pro 2019 well only really use for GoodNotes in college but still. This is a really good tablet
I'd really love a video, or two, on third party controllers for old consoles. Both for the original hardware, and Bluetooth/USB for emulation hardware.
In my case I've wasted hundreds of dollars trying to get some good Motion+ controllers for my Wii's, but I'm now cutting my losses and buying pre-owned or new old-stock. I've also been looking for some good wired Xbox 360 replacements, but nothing really met the quality of the originals.
aliexpress has some pretty good wiimote options. I purchased one for around 20 bucks and it seems solid so far, comes with the motion + built in.

I have a couple of AliExpress-controllers, as well as a couple bought locally which I might as well have bought on AE, and the trouble I get with them is the tracking of the IR-bar. I'm not certain of whether it is that they aren't sensitive enough, or *too* sensitive of glare, but the controls get jumpy. Not so with the original controllers.
That aside, it's always good to know the options for other old consoles as well. There are plenty of knock-offs that might look the part, and even work ok, but have terrible build quality, and it is hard to keep up with it all.
@@OlaMagnusLie yeah mine are a bit too sensitive for my liking, could probably just be the dolphin bar though.
You should take a look at the 8bitdo suite of controllers. They do kind of modernized versions of retro controllers for alot of the older systems. They also have some interesting unique controllers as well. My favorite of theirs is the 8bitdo pro2 it's a perfect general all around controller for retro games because It's literally like they crossed a playstation controller with a super nintendo controller. Works on a bunch of systems wired and bluetooth highly recommend it.
What is the ram type and speed (DDR “X” and frequency/speed “X” mHZ?
What is the blue animated stain glass wallpaper you use? Any link?
Love your videos. I was wondering if you can use the the tablet as an extened display using the type c port. I know they have on over the air option but that latency seems too high.
Yep, you can do that with a simple wired adapter to a HDMI port. Ideally you would use one of those hubs that offer multiple connection options, like usb ports for a keyboard and mouse and wired ethernet (depends on your needs.) These tablets offer multiple wireless solutions, but if you're referring to gaming the latency would be too high for gaming (Chromecast is the biggest offender here.) But apart from Chromecast other wireless connection options would be fine for regular web-browsing or watching streaming content. But you still can't beat be wired connection.
Super Display app over usb c
Edit: if you're planning to do it with pc though
can you try using tab s8 as nintendo switch screen using usb c dock with hdmi ports.
These are all the same things that can be emulated with the last 3 models of Snapdragon processor. I'll be interested when it can run CEMU.
Yuzu will be easier to run than CEMU. Wii U had PowerPC and custom AMD GPU, so full emulation is required which is gonna be really taxing.
Switch on the other hand uses ARM (custom Nvidia Tegra X1) processor. So we don't need to emulate the entire system, just add compatibility layer, which is closer to running the native system than emulating.
I am of course over simplifying things. There's gonna be additional work, which will be required.
But you get general idea of the difference between the two.
Cool wallpaper
Would have really liked to see if this could handle the Beetle Saturn core rather than crappa sanshiro.
Where do you get the emulator package and how big is it?
Thanks for the awesome demo. Can the S8, S7 or any other Samsung tablets utilize the ethernet port on the hub?
Why use ethernet on a tablet but yes it works if u use an adapter
@@s4f3ty Faster downloads? Wow was that so hard to understand? 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol wtf just get a laptop instead. Tablet with an ethernet defeats its purpose...
@400mb + internet i have no slow downloads.
The answer to your question is yes. However it does drain battery faster. I just got the tablet hub anker stand 551 usb-c hub. Be mindful your tablet may not fit on its ledge, and it's ledge can scratch your screen if it falls forward. but I've used another hub for years. Ugreen usb c 5 in 1. The power drain makes ethernet hubs sad to use honestly.
But can it run Bloons td6 past level 200 without lagging lol. Crashed the app on my note 20 ultra last night
what are you using for live wallpapers?
Love the live wallpaper with cubes on 2.00 where can i find it !?
Do you think we can expect the same performance with the 22 ultra since they have the same specs?
Nah its not near as good as the tablet and I have both. Emulated metal gear solid 2 on aethersx2 for both s22 ultra and s8 ultra tab. Way better results emulating. S22 ultra lags pretty bad after a couple minutes due to overheating.
Steam Deck review pls! 😁
awesome now about what about newer console like wii u ps3 switch ps4???
The fact that the S8 ultra does not play lost light, guns at dawn, Diablo immortal, evil lands, call of duty mobile, Black desert Mobile, raid, Tower of fantasy, war robots, tactical, cross out, Eve echoes, Battle prime, badlanders, perfect world, second Galaxy Pirate code and Dead trigger at a native resolution is a big no-no for this type of price while this tablet is amazing at gaming and impressive added screen size The only thing that's going to look sharp is going to be emulators as far as native support for regular games that come out of the Play store a lot of them are going to be grainy and they're just going to look delicious cuz they're in a large screen so you're going to be all hyped up about it but when all the hype is gone and you left with that $800 bill in your pocket Just know that none of the badass games that are for Android play at a native resolution once again we're forced to play downscaled which is garbage. There is almost zero support for this tablet in the gaming community.
For the price tag it better emulate everything or mostly everything.
Say that to Apple.
mupen + retro not upscaling happened to me as well, for some reason ;)
Awesome tablet!
Yooo what’s that moving background theme on the tablet at the beginning of the video name?
Still can't find a video where Mr ETA mentions what USB-C to HDMI device is he using :
Amazing tablet from Samsung👍
How to get those really cool live wallpapers
Awesome
2:55 That's a lot of mAH 😂😂😂
This Tab is more power than my pc
But can it fly?
How do I get those insane live wallpapers? 😍
Does CBX work on this dude? I'm surprised you didn't add it
So has the performance improved yet or what?
Hello, good afternoon. One question, is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 14.6 128GB with 8 GB of RAM? could you do a little more exhaustive test of how ps2 games are doing? It is that I would love to be able to play Tenchu 3 the wrath of heaven well on the tablet and I would like to see the performance well. Thank you very much in advance!
