PC Emulation on Android is Insane! - PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360, & More

We are in a new era of emulation on Android. It is now possible to run high-end PC emulators and AAA PC titles on a flagship Android phone. In this video, we look at PS3, Wii U, Xbox, Xbox 360, and PC games running on the overclocked Snapdragon 8gen3.

Let me know if you'd like a guide covering setting this up on a phone/Android device.

Any direction that leads to games being played natively on Android is a much better direction than games just being streamed.

8:28 "yo dawg, we heard you like emulators, so we put an emulator in your emulator"

[ItsOverProductions]

Wait, what? My brain is refusing to compute this. It's like trying to shove a bucket into a hot pocket.

0:31 I beg to differ. That definitely looks like Cloud to me.

Emulation on emulation? Damn. Imagine the native performance of those games.

[Moulinoski]

If these Windows emulators could work as a wrapper like dosbox or proton, then we basically have PC applications on Android. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Side note: Winlator (and variants) use box64 (and box86 sometimes) for the Emulation part. Than means AVX/AVX2 are available on latest version :)

Winlator tips:

1 - It's not necessary to create a new container to each game, you can have most of the settings individualized on the shortcuts section.

2 - You can increase font size of the emulated Windows on the Wine Config options, after start the container, in the start menu.

3 - Pay attention to the load over the GPU, if you GPU is 70% but your framerate isn't good, this means the game is CPU bond, so reducing resolution will not help too much.

4 - If you want full screen on you smart phone, discover your device aspect ratio and make this count:

Ex. 720 ÷ 9 * 19.5 = 1560 (for Galaxy S24 Ultra 19.5:9 aspect ratio) = 1560x720.


If you want lower resolutions just reduce the vertical resolution:

640 ÷ 9 * 19.5 = 1386
1386X640 (19.5:9)

This Emulator is from the Brazilian Brunodev85, a humble guy and it's good to know that you YouTubers from other countries can see the progress he is making for the community.

That's like 3 layers of emulation!

[CrocoDylianVT]

considering the Adreno 750 is THEORETICALLY slightly more powerful than a PS4's GPU, with some time and optimization many PC titles should be able to run like they would natively on a similar hardware

[piodelgado]

Maybe with this emulator, big companies will consider releasing their AAA games to ARM chips

[Autotrope]

I am quite happy to see the enthusiasm for this. I think that PC gaming on arm is the natural consequence of the powerful mobile arm chips we're seeing now and our desire for pc gaming on the go. And surely Valve is watching and will want to get in on it

[readingsolo]

Taki can you share battery life testing for these high powered systems? Do they die quickly when running PC, switch, etc?

[peejae]

I guess it's time for a Snapdragon X Elite handheld like an Odin 3.

[rondoudoushiney]

This is just insane.
Especially Wii U emulation, I remember people dreaming about this, we thought this wasn't possible.
We've come a long way since Dolphin 🗿

[TCGchan]

this runs games better than my current laptop

[FrenckilBianco]

Cant believe you bring out the OG Harry Potter games for PC, love them

[OscarOliu]

This is actually not surprising if you've been following mobile development for a while, Qualcomm has been wanting to push their CPUs onto the consumer PC market for a few years now, getting to the point where they are actually a somewhat viable option.
