Has Android Emulation Peaked? – Maybe.



With the release of the Snapdragon 888+ in the Red Magic 6s Pro and news of AMD GPUs starting to make their way into the ARM ecosystem, are we finally at the point where Android hardware outpaces the current emulation software on the platform? In this video, we examine the current landscape of emulation on Android and discuss the platform’s shortcomings when it comes to high-end emulation.

  1. It seems crazy how they were able to emulate a current gen major game console on phones! I remember trying to run pcsx2 on a pentium 4 pc with a geforce 9800gt back in 2009 with absolute zero success.

  2. 1 year later and PS2 works perfectly. I have a Oneplus 7t and a galaxy tab s6 lite. Both work well with the aethersx2 turnip. I have games ranging from: God of War, Jak 2 and 3, Star Was Battlefront, NHL Hitz and more. All work perfectly albeit some need adjustments to the there config

  3. As an absolute layman emulation is so frustrating!! I've watched ton of these videos and all the jargon short hand and code names for processors,software and what not is like listening to someone speak another language.

  4. i just bought the galaxy tab s7+ to use at work i streamed xbox games like grounded while on wifi at work i also streamed a steam game off my pc from home to my tablet at work with very minor hiccups

  5. idk when ill get a new phone cause mine works fine. but i have a note 8 and it can run up to gamecube and 3ds, both are not great but playable for the most part. timesplitters 2 struggles a lot, idk if id call it playable, only in non demanding sections it runs at full speed

  6. Well, 10 months later.. It looks like things are still improving! Aether SX2 is amazing, Citra MMJ is getting better, and Skyline is starting to get more impressive. I still think we are years off from PS3, Xbox, etc. properly running on android.
