If you guys want to check out the gaming cradle that I use. Watch this next : Nacon MG-X - Best Android Controller? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXaugaujrKunrpI

[@vocalsvideos458]

hi, thank you for the video, do you know a way to add a scroll bar in an android emulator for computer please? it´s for educational purposes, i wanna use an app to learn languages (Busuu) and with a scroll bar it would be easier

[@bagusswadharma5336]

Nice controller sir..

[@asdowo111]

"Piracy of games is illegal" **skips 10 secs into the video** Thats better.

[@ov3rkill]

That z fold 3 looks like it is the perfect size and aspect ratio for emulation.

[@malystxy5601]

Main reason I am excited for foldable. 20:9 ratio is good for nothing really

[@korbin0717]

My dad uses his for emulation all the time. Pop a usb-c controller on and you have a very expensive switch lite that can play most emulated games.

[@GmkSuperstars]

It is man

[@Pano_CheezY]

Its hands down the best out right now. GPU keeps up with emulation, all games run smooth. You can easily run Dolphin on this and play Mario Galaxy.

[@speedstar1988]

Going to get my Ayn Odin Pro Handheld and already paid for my emulators to get my portable gamer together 😀❤️

[@absentmind2943]

I basically bought the fold for emulating such a good phone for it and it runs stuff like wii on dolphin really well and ds feels kinda genuine when you play it partly folded

[@Bronxholla137]

emulation has been running good on even older phone like the s9 s10 ect and you can buy a hub to connect any one above s8 to play it on the TV

[@AwTrickzZ]

I tried using that dolphin but I can't seem to download Wii games I.e Call of duty, but game cube downloaded straight away? Any idea

I like how the regular Rig MG-X looks over the Pro but hear a lot about Bluetooth issues on the non-pro. Definitely nice that's it's slimmer, but could you recommend it? Mostly playing retro games

As for me I never like it. It's heavy, clunky and messy. The standalone counterparts though are very good

Great video bro 👍. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play that I want to play emulators on, especially Turtles in Time!

ePSXe = Emulator PlayStation ✅ AetherSX2 = Emulator PlayStation 2 ✅ Emulator PlayStation 3 where are you?

[@wisewords8972]

Can anyone explain to me why you can't do a simultaneous multiple button press on Android RetroArch???? On a wireless Bluetooth vide game controller. For example sega Genesis Golden Axe 2 , you can't perform the back attack by pressing the attack and jump button at the same time. I emailed the developer but he ignores me, every single time. This is a ongoing issue. This makes most games freaking unplayable, especially fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom. Mame4droid 0.139 doesn't have the issue, why does RetroArch??

[@takehirotaniguchi6271]

At the 3:00 while you were playing MGS2, why was the M9 highlighted red when it would usually be blue? That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that.

[@Anthony-vy4ss]

Great video! I have the dolphin emulator for my Logitech G Cloud and when I mapped the controls to the handheld i can’t get rid of the on screen buttons. I can’t get to the dolphin menu either to fix it because the device buttons control the game instead of the app ever since I mapped them. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

[@paulkristo8040]

very helping! thankyou sir!

God, one more reason to want a Fold. That screen is the perfect ratio and it's just huge. I'm currently using PPSSPP to play some old games I didn't get to finish on my old PSP and the performance in my S20FE is impecable (3x resolution to get 1080p, antisotropic filter and some other shader, smooth at 60FPS on God of War - Chains of Olympus), but the screen is a tiny bit small.

[@VILLARDX3749]

After updating my z-fold four to one UI 5.1 I can no longer play dolphin emulator it will not display the games in my folders

[@ludvigtheowopaladin]

Retro arch is really neat but it's quite more tricky than ppssspp

I have a love/hate relationship with RetroArch. I love to have all my games in one app but the GUI is disastrous, the way it's organized is all over the place.

Could you check It please ? Thank you for your videos !!

Stretch would make the game look, well... stretched. Really horrible. If there's a hack to change the FOV to make it fill the screen without changing the aspect ratio then go for it. If you need to distort the image then leave it as it is.

256GB should be enough in my opinion.

[@blablasigh187]

256 is a lot of games. Unless you want to keep the games you already finished it really is enough. Super Mario Galaxy is like 4 gigs and most Wii games are a tiny bit smaller. So 10 games in less than 50GB.

NOTE: AetherSX2 is NOT getting support on newer phones with Exynos processors. I talked with the developer (it's made by only one guy) and he said that he is not gonna pay over 2000 for a "mediocre" phone with no users. I told him that i could help him with it, since i have Galaxy S22 ultra, but he refused. he was also very rude towards me, calling me a child and an a-hole for some reason when he asked how he would benefit from trying to make it work for more phones. i replied with "why not, when you know you could make it better and reach bigger audiences". Definitely not recommending that emulator just because the developer seems to be a bit nasty. But yeah, if you have one of the latest phone models with Exynos processor, Aethersx2 is not for you.

[@vanellope05]

at least exynos 9611, 850, snapdragon 660, 662, 665 and mediatek helio g70, g80, g85, so that it runs smoothly, no lag

[@blablasigh187]

That developer sounds like a complete tool. I own the original Galaxy Fold from 2019, and it's definitely not a mediocre phone. As a matter of fact, I like the Fold so much that I'm not willing to go back to using standard size phones. User base maybe small, but that doesn't mean the Fold series is mediocre. Smh...🤨

[@galihcd]

I would say If an emulator can run well on my rather potato-but-not-really device than that emulator is good. Considering also how much time it has been developed and how old is the console, is it optimized or not for middle to rather low end device, or the emulator just too much depended on current high ends. For instance PPSSPP, Redream and Aethersx2 can smoothly run on my not-so potato phone, they're just so good. 3ds and Gamecube emulators on the other hand, they're trash heavy.
