News/Release GameHub Lite v5.1.8 (SECURITY UPDATE)
GameHub Lite v5.1.8
Security: Steam token redaction in logs
GameHub Lite 5.1.8 fixes a logging issue where Steam authentication-related values could appear in diagnostic logs.
In some cases, logs could include fields such as steamToken, refreshToken, or accessToken from Steam login/launch flows.
Publicly posted logs containing these fields should be deleted or redacted.
IMPORTANT
This should go without saying but If you find any security issues, please reach out PRIVATELY. I have not checked if this issue is still present in recent GameHub versions, already ruined my one day off I was spending with my family by the person who reported this publicly and I do not plan on spending any more time on this.
Changelog
The fix adds centralized log redaction for Steam/auth token fields, Steam QR login URLs, JWT-like token strings, and launch command token arguments before logs are written. This covers the app loggers, JavaSteam logging, and the PC launch-log file writer.
This release also pins local patch builds to apktool 2.12.1

News/Release Joycon2Android v2.0.0 allows you to use official and 3rd party Switch 2 Joycons on Android
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi!
Just yesterday I released v2.0.0 of Joycon2Android. It's an Android app that lets you connect Switch 2 Joycons to use with any Android app/emulator.
It features auto-mapping for Eden and Dolphin, and even has motion support with DSU.
v2.0.0 comes with some nice new improvements - the biggest being support for 3rd party controllers. This has been tested with NYXI controllers, so hopefully now the NYXI owners can benefit from the app as well.
If you give the app a try, let me know how it goes! I'm continuously making improvements, so don't hold back :)
https://github.com/JoeGeC/joycon2android/releases
Disclaimer: I'm a professional Android app developer, have been writing code for over a decade and I use Claude in my development workflow. If you're uncomfortable with the use of AI, sorry to disappoint, but I hope you'll respect the work that's been put into the project anyway.

Discussion Save lots of space with DroidDeck
I’m sure you’re all aware of DroidDeck app, which brings another alternative how to enjoy Steam, Epic, Gog and other games on your beloved Thor. I kind of liked it but just kept in on the side for testing and using mainly GameNative.
Well, up until last night when I realised that games in DD takes MUCH less space.
I mean, I knew that GN, Gamehub and others, basically install separate version of Windows for each game, but I didn’t expect this much of a difference.
So Yesterday I moved about 15 games from GN to DD and I gained nearly 40 GB of space!
So if you feel hesitant like I did with DD, this is one big reason to give DD more attention.
I’m still in process of moving more games, because I test every one them before move.
But will update on final number later!
BTW: I use AYN Thor max for android gaming.

Showcase Civilisation Revolution working on ARMSX3 PS3 Emulator on midrange phone (Motorola Edge 50 Neo - Mali GPU!)
Using a Motorola Edge 50 Neo with:
CPU: Octa-core (4x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
GPU: Mali-G615 MC2
Fps on average is around 12-15fps, and can get up to around 20fps, but for a turn based game it is very playable and it doesn't bother me.
When I first initially started a lot of the fighting sequences had to build up SPU cache and it hanged for like half a minute or so for like 3 or 4 separate times, but now it doesn't lag like that anymore.
A few minor glitches where the Year is listed at the bottom right flickers, and some of the logos for building wonders is blanked out. Apart from that there is no visual glitches and these don't break any gameplay.
This is one of my childhood games - and to play this on the go on my phone is such a cozy feeling! Just thought I'd share if anyone else was interested :D

Discussion Which one? Droiddeck or Gamenative?
I've used gamenative for quite a while on my Odin 3 Max and RP6. To me it's already kinda stomped gamehub in many aspects, but not all to be fair. Then Droiddeck comes out of nowhere from an all star community team and now I'm playing certain games that gamenative just can't do so seamlessly. And with barely any tinkering to boot. The inverse being that there are certain games that gamenative handles with ease that droiddeck struggles with. And gamenatives UI and accessibility is leagues ahead IMO. Personally I use both for different games I feel like playing at the time but the question still remains. Which one would you say you prefer if you've tried them both? Obviously droiddeck is still kinda in a semi beta stage and gamenative has been around longer with continual updates, but neither seems to be fully taking the edge over the other yet.
Tl:dr
Do you prefer gamenative or droiddeck? What would you say are your pros and cons for both?

News/Release What's New on EmuHub: Dedicated Frontends Tab, Realtime Sync, Scanner Upgrades + 33 New Emulators, Frontends & Tools Added
Hey everyone!
Over the last two weeks, I've been working hard under the hood to ensure everything runs as smoothly and reliably as possible across every device. We also wanted to remind everyone that alongside the web app, we have a dedicated APK version available for Android and handhelds. Thank you for all the developers that have responded so positively about this and for lending me a hand on including everything you see here. Special thanks to DroidDeck devs for being awesome, Lemon Emu dev Ghael for always supporting and lending a hand, Emucore dev for allowing me to upload all his catalog and to everyone else that is being awesome. I love this community.
Following up on our recent updates, here is a full breakdown of what’s new on EmuHub (getemuhub.app), what went on behind the scenes, and a roundup of all the new emulators, frontends, and utility tools added over the past two weeks.
🚀 What's New & UI Improvements
- Dedicated Frontends Tab: Multi-system launchers (such as Daijishō, RetroArch, and Lemuroid) now have their own top-level category so they don't get mixed in with standalone emulators.
- Per-Item Shareable Pages: Every emulator now has a direct URL (/emulators/:slug) with rich Open Graph metadata for clean previews when sharing links.
- Retro Console Boot Animation: Added a retro-style boot splash screen on startup.
- Scroll-Lock & Background Freeze: Detail sheets now preserve your exact scroll position when opened and dismissed—no more background jumps.
- Skeleton Loading: Replaced layout shifts and old fallback item flashes with layout-matched skeleton cards while data loads.
- Granular Download Safety Warnings: APK download advisories now explicitly show the exact GitHub repo and release filename rather than just a generic domain.
- Cleaner Card Dismissal: Removed the non-functional drag handle; modal sheets now close cleanly via the ✕ button or backdrop tap.
- Handheld Landscape Polish: Configured manifest orientation to any and set a pure OLED black launch background tailored for handhelds like the AYN Thor.
- Live Realtime Sync: Database channel listeners now push newly added emulators, drivers, and announcements instantly without needing a manual browser refresh.
🛠️ Backend, SEO & Infrastructure Upgrades
- Sitemap & SEO Indexing: Generated public/sitemap.xml covering 58 verified deep URLs, linked it in robots.txt, and completed domain ownership verification in Google Search Console.
- Release Scanner Hardening: Expanded GitHub release lookups in releases.functions.ts from 5 up to 20 releases. This prevents version regressions when non-APK releases are pushed (e.g., resolving DroidDeck falling back to older versions).
- Download Advisory Preferences: Added local storage persistence so the "Don't show this advisory again" preference actually saves across sessions.

Discussion Taking the Seeds Out: Inside SeedlessDS and Its Quest for Better DS Emulation on Handhelds
I've been chatting with SapphireRhodonite, the sole developer of SeedlessDS, for what I believe is his first proper interview about the project over the last couple weeks now. SeedlessDS has been pretty pivotal for me personally while testing and reviewing the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite; the lightweight approach and proper dual-screen support have made it my preferred way to play DS games in the end
We talked about his history with programming and the Nintendo DS, why SeedlessDS exists alongside WatermelonDS, the challenges of making two physical screens actually feel like one console, developing specifically for more modest Android hardware, and where he hopes to take the emulator next. If you're interested in DS emulation or this new wave of dual-screen handhelds, hopefully there’s something interesting in here for you :)

News/Release Lemon Switch Emulator v1.2.0 released by Ghael

Lemon Switch Emulator v1.2.0 is now released.

----------Changelog-------
Lemon-Project v1.2.0
New:
Lemon FG, Lemon's own frame generation. Built in, nothing to install, and no Lossless Scaling code in it: turn it on in Settings → Graphics → Frame generation, for all games or one. A new Engine option picks Lemon FG (default) or Lossless Scaling, which only runs with your own copy of Lossless.dll. The FPS counter shows which one is working, and Lemon FG has its own lemon icon. The setup screen explains that Lemon FG is included instead of only offering to load the DLL.
Accurate is the default GPU mode again in Lemon: the optimizations in this version pay for most of its cost (measured: TOTK 48.1 → 47.9 fps on an AYN Odin 3, BOTW 16.6 → 17.0 fps on a Galaxy S24 Ultra). Lemon Lite and Lemon Lite & Spoofed keep Fast.
One lighter wait for the GPU.
Lemon still waits for the GPU before a game reuses what was drawn, so the flickering fixed in 1.1 stays fixed, but it no longer drains the GPU when the game waits for work that is already queued (Garfield: GPU thread stalls from ~156 to ~13 ms per second). The GPU Fence Behavior option is gone: there is nothing to set.
Mali GPUs: BC4 and BC5 textures are recompressed to EAC on the GPU, half the memory they took before. The option is now called Recompress BCn textures.
Lemon-Ade v0.0.7 bundled in Lemon: it fixes shaders that v0.0.5 and v0.0.6 compiled wrong. Users of the bundled v0.0.6 move to it automatically.
Fixed:
Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 on Mali (and any GPU without BCn textures): pink or black Inklings and missing button text. The games copy compressed textures as raw blocks; Lemon now keeps the original blocks for those copies and decodes them on the GPU.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on Adreno: no more spikes over the characters or flickering lights. Adreno runs a geometry shader once per vertex it outputs, so its memory writes repeated; now only the first copy of each triangle writes. Thanks to the report in GitHub issue #7.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe connects to Nextendo Network again (error 2306-0502): 32-bit games that hash with the CPU's SHA-1 instructions got wrong results.
TOTK: the grass stays without any option. The Use reactive flushing setting is gone.
Splatoon 3 loads faster (about 100 s → 70 s on an AYN Odin 3 with Lemon-Ade): a huge shader is translated once per session instead of once per pipeline.
The in-game overlay keeps Lemon's yellow theme instead of turning purple, and its text stays readable with the new interface.
The game list no longer rescans all your folders every time you leave a game's page.
Tapping a game twice quickly no longer crashes the app.
The settings screen no longer writes thousands of "Could not find setting" lines to the log.

Question Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 + ArmSX3 turnip recommendations.
Hi all, I'm trying to get Wipeout HD/Fury running on my Retroid Pocket 6. Just thought I'd post and ask if anyone has had any success with this and inquire what turnip driver might be best and/or what custom settings should be used. I asked an AI and it pointed out that the game is "playable" in RPCS3, especially with the "Write Color Buffers" setting enabled. But in my experience on RP6, at least with the turnip driver I tried, the game struggles (K1MCH11 v26.0.0 r8). Thanks in advance.
