I’m the developer of DraFG. It captures the screen and draws generated frames on top, so it isn’t tied to any emulator. PPSSPP, other emulators, GameNative/Winlator and native Android games all work the same way. On desktop it does the same over any game window on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The video shows a test scene locked at 30 fps, as many PSP games are, so I could show it without using anyone else’s game.

Under the hood: DraFG runs Surge, its own frame generation model, designed and trained from scratch, on DraFG’s own engine (Vulkan on Android; CUDA, Vulkan or Metal on PC). Surge comes in two variants: Max (~206K parameters) and Mobile, the lighter one used here. Generation shares the GPU with the game, so both are built to be cheap. On the RP6, Mobile takes ~7.8 ms of GPU time per generated frame at 1080p and ~3.8 ms at 540p, against a 16.7 ms frame at 60 fps.

A few notes:

• Tested on the Retroid Pocket 6 and 5 (Android 13+). Other Snapdragon handhelds should work but aren’t confirmed yet. Reports are welcome.
• Fast motion and HUDs can show artifacts.

It’s currently a free playtest on Steam:

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4934180/DraFG/
• Android app: https://draske.com/downloads

I’d like to hear which emulators, games and devices you try it on.

It's a POCO X7 Pro

As new ports are being made left right and centre. Will these ports perform better than just running the games on an emulator. For example Hades on my realme gt 6t ran well with a few jitters at about 30 fps on an emulator how will the emulator gameplay compare to the native android ports?

I also came across this droid deck and I'm wondering if there is any chance if we can discuss it!?

I am using s25U and recently completed Far cry 4 without a single crash but when i tried gta v it crashes every time i reach Franklin gameplay during the car race first the FPS drops then crash.

I tried multiple settings from YouTube and emuready who has same device as mine but they didn't report any such thing

Can anyone help

My setup- s25U with cooler and tried using both versions of GTA V

Early in the year I was suggesting gamenative over everything when I had a thor but now I genuinely don't understand how people use this app anymore. I switched to the odin3 and almost nothing runs on the first try. I'm honestly making this post because I see that when games do run on gamenative they run really well and when I saw the new 1.3 update I thought I'd give it a try again. The first game I tested was dark souls 3 and I turned on the setting to automatically use the known config. First boot crashes immediately. I start looking at community configs I can't apply almost all of them because they use custom versions of either dxvk, vkd3d, or other things. I don't know where I am supposed to get the versions of these things on the community configs because gamenative has no way of showing me where to get them. There is no area in the app that has a bunch of options where you can download the latest versions like bannerlator or winlator have. Then I tried to use the AI assistant and it told me that my issue was that lossless scaling was preventing my game from launching and to try launching the game with it off. I did that and it worked but I still wanted to be able to use lsfg so I tried to use the bot again to figure out how to do that and it costs a monthly fee to use the bot. I understand that tokens aren't free but to answer only one issue is pretty annoying to me. I really want to use gamenative again because right now I use bannerlator and its been great but its just that load times from an sd card are insanely long and I want to try gamenative because the load times are a lot better. I really want to give this app a chance again so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know. I also think the dev for this app is really great. In the early days of the app I remember him always helping people out with their issues with games and I love how much he cares about his users, but for the life of me I can’t get most games running how I want. For the time being I'll be sticking to bannerlator and bannerhub as everything works first try almost every time on those but again if I'm doing something wrong I want to give this app the benefit of the doubt so please let me know.

I bought this phone recently and i would like to emulate games on it.

I've had poor performance with melonDS before but I chalked it up to my phone being weak. I just got a new phone that is substantially stronger and I believe is considered mid range (Oppo A7 Pro 5G) but I'm still having stutter and lag. All the things I can find online say to enable JIT and use OpenGL but I'm already using JIT and it actually runs worse with OpenGL (at the lowest resolution too). I'm at a loss now and I hope someone who is more tech literate than me can help

My phone is Poco f7 pro I have snapdragon 8 gen 3 and I'm trying to run this game it's slow and there's a ton of graphical glitches. Can you guys help me

I mean, time and time again I see how Snapdragon is the only way for Switch and PC emulation, but I think people are just uneducated, so, let me educate you.
Tell me what game would you like me to test next and I will, however please note that even GTA 5 is in my opinion NOT a good game to play on a phone, borderline unreasonable.
So please give me some tips for next games :)

I know most people use retroarch for everything ps1 and under, but I want to know other's opinions on standalone emulators for things like Sega genesis or gba. Do they have any benefits over retroarch or are they a not worth the hassle to even try?

I think we all know that everyone will start working on GTA 6 once they get their hands on it. So for that reason I won't be surprised if it does or doesn't become playable soon lol

Jk ts is ahh is there a way to fix it? Also i tried the windows version in gamehub winlator and gamenative and still all of them had crazy stuttering when I go to other places or just the game saving also Im using the latest armsx3 and my device is Rp6

I am I'm trying to play GTA 5 Legacy from Steam on the latest version of Game Native and I end up getting stuck on this screen every time

Retroid Pocket nova Gamenative 1.3.0

Hey all,

I have Eden Android 0.2.1 set up on my AYN Thor (Android 13). I noticed the following issue while playing Animal Crossing New Horizons:

1. Using the in-game camera, if I take a photo, it is seemingly not saved anywhere. I checked the album applet (entirely empty) and also went through the files manually and couldn't find it.

2. (After mapping the capture button to a physical button,) pressing the capture button doesn't seem to do anything. The screenshot "flash" animation doesn't play, and again, there's no file saved anywhere as far as I could see.

I'm assuming these are related somehow. Everything else seems to function normally.

I'm sure I've misconfigured something somewhere, but am unsure what it could be. Eden has full file access through the Android permission.

A clean reinstall of Eden did not solve the issue.

I'd be very grateful for ideas on what to check or try next! Thank you!

nyushu emulator v0.1.0, no mods. mostly default settings.

I thought switch 1 version was locked to 30fps?

On snapdragon 8 gen 3, portable mode AND docked mode both runs 60fps no problem.

Power consumption is also very comfortable at portable mode 4-6w, docked mode 5-7w.

1st pic is docked mode, 2nd is portable mode.

Im having problem with gamehub. İts latency is too much even without framgen. İnterestingly edens emulator performance is bad for my cpu(poco f6). Maybe its time to retire for my phone..

I use Winlator because it's not the Most difficult thing to play games with Cheat Engine, when you open the container

But applying cheats via a checklist generated by a plug-in and Cheat Table would be much more preferable (obviously)

I recently got an S25 ultra with SD 8 elite but I only have 256 gigs of storage so I wanted to ask if anybody tried running games from an external storage and how it preforms throughout different emulators.

All of my characters are triangular, only on this Lego game. All my other Lego roms work perfectly and this is the third rom source I've tried. Any help would be awesome. Have tried changing a bunch of graphics settings in the azahar app. Thanks
