Emulation on Android

You can use Obtainium to fetch the apk from their Forgejo instance.

Is this possible?

I have a hankering for some Left for Dead, Halo and Fable

Despite I more or less handle myself in the PC world, I am a complete ignorant when it comes to Android, and in my country for some reason the Xioami Note 12 have a very good (I've never had a Xiaomi device) and I would like someone to help me decide if it is a good purchase or not in my case, and even better if someone can give me details that I am not taking into account, and I say this because according to some forums and comments I read, depending on the processor of the device sometimes Yuzu does not run and sometimes Skyline either. And also in many comparisons that I found people in the comments for reasons I do not understand defines the power of the device according to the amount of storage it have, as they say "The 128GB version of the Xiaomi Note 12 is worse than the 256GB version", does that make sense?

As I mentioned, I'm really lost on how to decide a good purchase of a device, the most logical is to look for generic comparisons but it's a bit more complex than PC, or so it seems to me.

For example, in my country they have the Xiaomi Note 12 (128GB 8GB, Snapdragon 685 6nm) at the same price as the Xiaomi Redmi 12 (256Gb 8Gb RAM, MediaTek Helio G88) and I do not see any sense that they cost the same because according to what I researched the Xiaomi Note 12 has a better CPU, then the price difference with the Xiaomi Redmi 12 is compensated with double the storage?

I want to clarify that I have no expectations of playing BOTW at 4K or any of the latest Pokemon, my expectations are to play quiet things like Celeste or Hollow Knight or some rogueslike, do you think any of these devices are able to emulate Switch with a playable experience?

Edit: Something I forgot to mention, why some models say 6GB+4 RAM or 4GB+6, etc. What does that mean?

Thanks!

I am looking for an app that can emulate another android device.

A few years ago I used vmos but:

• it looks really sketchy
• it requires an account
• quick online search tells me some features are locked behind a paywall

I looked for alternatives but they all seem pretty sketchy and I will propably login with a Google account so idk.

My requirements are:

• At least Android Nougat (7.0+)
• GMS
• pass the Google security checks (I think it was called safetynet at some point
• not to slow as I want to play a game

The reason I need this is that I want to use a modified version of a game next to the original version.

I hope someone has a suggestion for me, Thanks in advance.

I really wish this game had a native android port.

Played some GBA games on it with touch screen controls but really want to use a controller to play PS1 and PSP games.

Controller + clip, snap on, whatever.

Too many on Amazon are not compatible with this phone, though. I need some recommendations

I'm enjoying FFXII Zodiac Job System (International Edition) on the Aether/PS2 emulator, and using a Rom hack to simulate the Zodiac Age dual job experience from the newer release.

Maybe I won't lose my save files this time xD

I'm looking to get a dedicated Android handheld for some Android games as well as some PS2 GC emulation. I also will probably use it a lot for streaming games from my gaming PC at home. I already have a Steam Deck and Switch OLED. I also have a controller for my Z Fold 4 but I hate having to work with on screen control only apps. I just wanna pick up a device, start a game and play. I'm looking at either the Retroid Pocket 3+ for it's size and great reviews, but I'm also interested in the Odin Lite but I hear mixed reviews on that one. What do you suggest?

EDIT: Pulled the trigger on the RP3+. I think it's a good compromise of price / performance

I'll start with GTA: Chinatown Wars and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Let me know your suggestions!

Up until now I was using an XBOX One controller with a clip for attaching your phone, which worked well but was quite unergonomic. I had to keep my wrists in an awkward angle, which made my fingers go numb after a short amount of time.

Now I got me the Gamesir X2 Pro and I couldn't be happier. The Switch form factor is SO MUCH MORE ergonomic and with the USB C connection there's no latency at all. It's finally fun to play emulators on the phone (or to stream from my gaming PC).

The buttons are rather clicky, so the acustics can get a little annoying, but haptically they feel great. The build quaility is pretty satisfying all around.

Totally recommended if you're into phone gaming.
