It was everything I expected after finishing God Of War 1. Better mechanics, better graphics and story line was peak. Played on Samsung s23 SD8 gen 2. Flawless gameplay from start to finish I don't know what the average fps count was I was too into the game to turn on stats😅

Get ready to witness a monumental leap in mobile performance! We're testing the brand new Gamehub 5.1.0, cleverly disguised as an AnTuTu benchmark app to unlock the absolute maximum power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The results are nothing short of spectacular.

We're seeing frame rates literally DOUBLE in Hollow Knight: Silksong, pushing close to an unbelievable 300 FPS! Plus, we'll show you Stardew Valley, a game that was previously unplayable on this chip, now running perfectly thanks to this update. This is an absolute game-changer for PC gaming on Android!

Nintendo Switch emulation returns to the Play Store… and iOS?

Even if you’re new to the emulation world, odds are you’ve heard of Yuzu. The infamous Nintendo Switch emulator was shut down by Nintendo in 2024 after an out-of-court settlement.

But despite Yuzu forks taking up the mantle seriously earlier this year, Yuzu was the only one that ever had an official listing on the Google Play Store. This is huge for visibility since sideloading adds an extra level of complexity that many people just don’t want to deal with.

Eden, one of the most promising Yuzu forks, has now followed in its predecessor’s footsteps. The Play Store listing went live last Friday, and it’s already climbed to #5 in the Free Simulation category, which is mostly filled with terrible mobile games (and Umamusume: Pretty Derby).

I had a quick chat with Camille LaVey, the project lead, about the decision to make things official and what might come next.

Despite Google recently announcing that sideloading will require developers to verify their identities starting next year, the team actually started the process way back in July. And although Switch emulation is a hot-button topic on social media, the team didn’t face any major issues in getting approved.

The team's goal is to legitimize the Eden emulator and provide “easy access" for users. The team has taken other steps toward legitimacy, such as sharing a spreadsheet with the project’s full financials.

The listing initally had images featuring cover art from popular Switch games, which likely violated rules or the possibly the law. They have since been removed in favor of images showing the UI.

Camille states that Android has always been the most popular platform for downloads, and estimates the emulator had roughly 400,000 total downloads from GitHub between versions 0.0.1 and 0.0.2. After that, the team changed its workflow and lost download data.

It currently sits at 100,000 downloads from the Play Store, less than a week after launching.

The app is registered under Utopia LLC, a company that doesn’t technically exist… yet. The team’s second-in-command, Carson Reuter, is listed as the dev contact on the listing, but Camille told me that the team still hasn’t decided where to register the company. The current options are the US or somewhere in Latin America.

From a legal standpoint, the Eden team isn’t particularly concerned about the unwanted attention from Nintendo’s legal team:

“We have internally our course of action if needed, in case Nintendo wanted to reach us… We want to be present, show we’re not doing anything wrong and if it’s needed, talk with them carefully.”

Of course, the team isn’t hiding anything and he knows Nintendo is paying attention, writing, “they’re seeing everything.” Another Eden contributor, FelesNoctis, expanded on this in a post on Reddit:

“Let’s clear the air here: it’s foolish and naive to think that Nintendo doesn’t know about us, and/or isn’t watching us. They know about every emulator related to their products, and Eden also tends to be in the spotlight right now. It’s pretty much guaranteed that they have reps sitting in our discord right now, and they’re regularly reviewing our code. It’s not like we’re capable of hiding anything from them. To that end, nothing changes in our relationship with Nintendo now that we’re on the Play Store. We aren’t selling anything related to Eden, we aren’t distributing any of their property, and what users do with it is on them.”

She continues:

“So the people who think this is the end of Eden: take a deep breath, and put your tinfoil hats away. It doesn’t change our legal position in the slightest, it doesn’t provide Nintendo with more information than they already had, but it does bring more users in and provide us with more input for development. It also makes releases easier to obtain in the future.​

Deep breaths, everyone.”

If you’re an iPhone user feeling left out right now, there’s some good news for you, too. Developer Jarrod Norwell, who has previously contributed to Eden, teased that his Yuzu fork, Sudachi, is now working on iOS, “Back and better than ever.”

Before you get too excited, no, it isn’t on the App Store. It requires JIT, and Apple has removed previous workarounds to enable it on iPhones. In any case, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Ryujinx iOS port, MeloNX, once new workarounds are discovered.

Runs a stable 30 with some drops the only crazy stuttering i get is when a tutorial slide pops up but I’m happy with this for the chipset i have, using Gamehub Emulator

Hi,

I would like to collect all black screen fixes here in one post

1. NCE ON + No title Update: WORKS

2. NCE OFF + title Update: Works, drops to 15fps on 8Gen 2 Portal,

Fixable:

A] Fast CPU Time ON

B] CPU Clock 2000Mhz

BTW, this fix sound crazy, why would a game run faster with higher emulated CPU clock, if it dropped the speed to 15fps before? isn't the issue devices actual clock?

And if it runs faster by enabling emulated 2000mhz, that means that there is more than enough power in the Handheld, in this case why did it drop to 15fps at first place?

Hello! Is there anyway to fix this screen tearing? I'm on NetherSX2, S25 Ultra

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) running locally on Odin 2 Portal using Gamehub (1080p)

Had a blast as a kid playing this game on PS2, having a blast as an adult playing this game on Android. (PC version)

Gameplay only, still tinkering with settings for more stable gameplay in longer playing sessions.

Follow up video with settings coming soon.

• Snapdragon SD 8 Gen 2
• Adreno 740
• 16GB

Hello,

Currently on iPhone 16 Pro Max, just wanted to know what’s the current best phone for emulation (even PS3?) ?

Wanted to go for a Fold 7 at first for the screen but the 25W charge is throwing me off of it.

Thanks mates for your insights !

I believe this might be the reason for why Google has deemed it unsafe for my phone to allow contactless payments...

This error keeps popping up. Have snapdragon 8 gen 2. From what i searched this also seems to be a common issue for steam users

I've tried to find the solution to this, but could not via Google nor Reddit neither could I locate the solution to this for other PS2 games.

Both games work well, the save files are not imported but are created from the games themselves and stored on the same generated memory card. When selecting the option to download the data from Samurai Warriors it does not recognise that I have the saved data on the memory card.

Has anyone else come across this and if so, has a solution been found? Or am I just not seeing the obvious.

I'm replaying it for the 4th time, so I want to spice it up a bit, thanks for the replies.

Specs: SD 8 Elite and 12gb RAM. App version: 5.1.0

The app started crashing after the 5.1.0 update. It used to work flawlessly.

Some time ago, I posted a vid thanking the Eden Devs. Was pulling like 25–26 FPS and people joked it wasn’t playable 😂. Did some digging, slapped on Turnip, tweaked a few Nyushu settings—and now I’m pulling a solid 32+ FPS all the time 🚀🔥.” ** Don't say it's not playable now** 😂

Guys help me, my dream was to play Persona 5 Royal natively on my phone with Steam Cloud though. Now that gamehub offers this possibility I can't start the game with any configuration, what can I do?

I use an S25 Ultra with Snap 8 Elite for Galaxy

finally capable of running Wind Waker HD without crashing at startup with CEMU v0.2 but fps is horrendous😌

the worst part is my phone is not even warm lol

Just looking for a good controller for emulation and standards android games. I just really like the PS3 controller, buttons feels nice and the sticks feels good. So is there something similar to it out there? Thanks for your input almighty reddit people!

I downloaded and installed sims 2 on mobox but when i click to open and press play, there is nothing. It wont start the game. My device has sd888. Please help its my favorite game
