YouTuber faces jail time for showing off Android-based gaming handhelds

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-24 05:17:34

There are countless Android-powered gaming handhelds, but they go beyond the usual slate of Android games by offering console emulation support. The problem is the game ROMs on these devices, which are not entirely legal. Italian YouTuber Once Were Nerd is learning how seriously some rightsholders are taking game piracy after agents from the country's Guardia di Finanza showed up to confiscate his consoles. He now says the investigation could lead to criminal charges and the end of his channel.

This might be the next must-buy Android gaming handheld, and it’s not a Retroid

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-29 17:16:14

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 477M is an upcoming handheld with a compact form-factor. If naming conventions hold true, it has a 4.7-inch panel and a Dimensity 8300 chipset. No release dates or pricing have been announced yet. One of the main reasons to buy an Android gaming handheld over a Linux-based one is increased power for PS2 emulation and above. Until recently, only Retroid and a few others offered devices powerful enough for reliable PS2 emulation, but the latest device announced by ANBERNIC

I can’t believe how far Switch emulation has come in the year since Nintendo killed it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 13:30:37

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority It’s been a few weeks since the Nintendo Switch 2 hit shelves, but if we’re being perfectly honest, there’s not much reason to buy one yet. I’ve been revisiting my OG Switch to stave off the FOMO, but I was sad to learn that my left Joy-Con now drifts so badly that Link runs in circles like he’s drunk in Breath of the Wild. Instead of shelling out $40 for another Joy-Con with a ticking drift timer, I reached for something I hadn’t touched in a while: Switch e

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-06 07:52:11

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR GameNative makes it easy to play your Steam library on Android via Winlator. The Pluvia fork adds support for titles with DRM and more optimizations. It’s open-source, but take care when logging in with your Steam credentials. Windows emulation on Android has made some progress lately, but it’s nowhere near as user-friendly as most retro game emulators. A new app called GameNative attempts to change that by making your Steam library playable with minim

Reverse-engineered PlayStation 1 motherboard runs original chips without emulation

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-10 09:56:00

Why it matters: Preserving retro games and hardware becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass and essential components grow rarer. Reverse engineering allows modders and repair shops to create substitutes that function identically to the original parts. Now, a new project aims to bring that level of flexibility to the original PlayStation. Italian engineer Lorentio Brodesco recently became the first person to successfully reverse-engineer the original PlayStation's motherboard, creating

This Switch emulator dev is working on a (legit) PS3 emulator for Android

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-02 15:53:54

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Sudachi developer Jarrod Norwell is working on a new Android port of RPCS3. He is also behind Folium, one of the few emulators on iOS. There’s no playable build yet, but aPS3e has already proved native PS3 emulation on Android is possible. The barrier to PS3 emulation on Android has never been thinner.
