2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

“I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!) (lemmy.world)

Having spent the bulk of my handheld gaming time with the Steam Deck, it was a bit of a shock last year to discover that PC gaming isn’t just possible on Android phones and retro handhelds, it’s powering on in leaps and bounds.

I’ve seen so many different games running beautifully, from older AAA titles like Tomb Raider and Prey (2017), all the way to more demanding ones like RDR2 and even Cyberpunk 2077 (no surprise that the last one is still an imperfect experience, as things stand...but it is possible!).

GameNative lets you play all manner of PC games on Android from GOG, Epic, and Steam.

I reached out to my friend Utkarsh, who is the lead developer of GameNative to ask if he wanted to share his story and let me interview him.

His background in development and gaming through to how GameNative started and is built, all the way to what the future might bring for his program. This is an interview on what I think might be at least part of the future of handheld gaming, and I hope you find this interesting:

Here's the filter for just your device, if it helps:

I'm still not getting anywhere with the games I'm trying to play. None of them are listed, even for other devices, and I still can't get any games working properly in GameNative regardless of whether I use the some of the configurations mentioned for other games on my device or the same settings I use in Winlator.

Also, that website seems pretty cool though. I'm not sure how much I'd be able to add because I'm limited to just Winlator for PC games on android until I can get a game working properly in either GameNative or GameHub but does EmuReady allow adult/NSFW games? I didn't see any adult/NSFW games listed but I'm also not seeing anything about them either. Also, do they allow adding other emulators? There are several emulators and emulator-adjacent apps I'm aware of but aren't listed.
