I tested the Abxylute One Pro, and it nails game streaming (with a catch)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 05:23:54

Abxylute One Pro If you want to stream games without tinkering with settings or dealing with Android jank, the Abxylute One Pro is a great pick. But if you want a little more, you can get better performance for the price. If you had asked me six years ago, I would have told you that game streaming was the future of gaming. Now that Stadia is dead and Xbox Cloud Gaming hasn’t made any significant improvements in years, the world seems to have shifted focus to gaming handhelds. But there’s a uni

There’s a new Xbox emulator on Android, but here’s why you should run away from it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-24 04:42:45

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The supposed first Xbox emulator on Android, Xanite, has launched in V0.1. It is not able to emulate Xbox games, and it appears to be nothing more than an empty shell. Updates are promised in the coming weeks, but don’t get your hopes up. Emulation on Android has come a long way in recent years, with systems up to and including the Nintendo Switch and PS3 now playable. However, despite coming out way back in 2001, the original Xbox still doesn’t have a

Arm desktop: emulation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-26 22:26:56

This post is part 5 of the "Let me try to use an AArch64 system as a desktop" series: Whenever people use a non-x86 system, sooner or later someone asks: “But can it run [name of x86-64 only binary]?”. So, let’s check how to make it possible. Software stack When you look for ‘how to run x86-64 apps on Fedora/Arm’, you usually end up with Asahi’s documentation about it.

The best Switch emulator just got even better, and there’s more to come

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-21 06:52:43

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR Nintendo Switch emulator Eden just dropped v0.0.3 release candidate. It brings performance improvements, plus key new features to make setup easier. The growing team also teased a few upcoming features, including EmuReady integration. Nintendo Switch emulation hit some big setbacks last year with Nintendo effectively shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx, but more recently things have really started to heat up. The Yuzu fork Eden is one of the most promising

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

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-10 12:17:34

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 2026-01-17 03:16:14

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 2026-02-13 12:30:37

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

This simple app lets you run your Steam games on Android, no streaming required

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-04 10:52:11

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 2026-03-09 04:56:00

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 2025-11-09 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. Although the initial aPS3e app has been removed from GitHub amid licensing controversies, there’s now new hope from a familiar Australian developer. Cal
