    For some reason, in my case everything is stuck either booting or loading a game, graphics test and running a container also never finishes loading

    I’ve got stock Pixel 8 Pro, and it looks like I’ll have to go to their discord to try to find help with that 🥲

    I just tested megabonk and it runs surprisingly okay on my 6 year old device (oneplus7t snapdragon 855+). Also the onboarding experience is flawless, it took me 2 minutes to download the app, login to steam and start a megabonk run.

    Pixel 7a, Graphene OS

    Tomb Raider, the first one (2013?)

    Max resolution is 720p, defaults to normal graphics preset, I turned off motion blur

    Then, I used low preset, and turned off screen effects as well

    Pretty cool, I am amazed.

    I logged in to GOG and tried to download Witcher 2, I was getting 403 errors. I tried downloading a few GOG games, but none got downloaded.

      It may have been due to cpu/GPU support or drivers. It looks like pixel 10 has a custom chip - Tensor G5.

        Yeah Samsung has a custom chip as well, does it not work on Exynos? Qualcomm only? +P10? I always thought it worked in all Android devices…

          Google moved with the Pixel10 from Mali GPUs to PowerVR. Normally, its pretty uninteresting which GPU you have on Android. But with bleeding edge emulation for like Switch or Windows you most likely have the best experience with the newest flagship Qualcomm Adreno GPU which is supported by opensource drivers(turnip and the like).

          Its been a while since i was deep into the android emulation scene so take it with a grain of salt. But adreno has generally the best hardware support but shitty oem drivers. Turnip drivers dont make them faster but more compatible with emulated games. Mali has in contrast to popular believe rather okayish oem drivers but lacked some hardware features here and there which made things more difficult. But they also have opensource drivers developed for them now at least for certain iterations like those that can be found in (pre-10)Pixel devices but maybe not those in 5 year old budget phones.

          But having a PowerVR GPU is pretty unique in such a expensive phone. So there was never much effort put in by the community to make them run fancy emulators since they used to be only found in cheap bottom of the barrel devices.

    I love Game Native, i also keep Game hub Lite for those cases where GN doesn’t work (controller issues most of the time)
