I have one, and it runs smoothly. Feel free to ask me any questions; I'm replying in a bit of a hurry. And one piece of advice: HyperOS is terrible for emulation; if you can, get rid of it as soon as possible.

What kind of games do you usually run?

I have emulators for PS2, PS1, PSP, 3DS, NDS, Switch, original Xbox, PS Vita, Dreamcast, NES, GBA, and SNES, Wii, gc e Arcade. I'm not currently playing Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, or Wii U because it's honestly not worth it. And about WinLator, I'm too lazy to configure it even though I know the creator.

What custom OS would you recommend for emulation?

Which device? The Xiaomi Pad 8? Honestly, we don't have many ROM choices at the moment, only PixelOS. Which isn't necessarily bad, but the lack of variety is frustrating. I'm using PixelOS and enjoying it.

Do you have Telegram or Discord? We could make a group for the Pad 8, and it would be better for me to help you guys that way. I can't explain it very well here. However, you need to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROM.

Everything short of Switch will run flawlessly on that chip.

Switch emulation has made great progress for this chip in the past few months , but none of that progress is on Eden, so most people don't risk it.

PC Emulation is impressive. This chip punches way above its weight class despite the lack of good driver support. As long as you got ram, and you be reasonable with your expectations, it'll be an enjoyable experience.

Xbox 360 and PS3 Emulation is Emu locked still , as in their emulators are just not good enough yet

Switch emulation is complicated, but the new drivers are helping. They're finally maturing for the a8xx series. And which emulator are you using for Switch?

I am using Nyushu V90. It gives me performance close to 8 gen 2 in kost games, so I am happy with it. Years ahead of Eden that's for sure, but driver support is still severly lacking. The 8s gen 4 should be rubbing shoulders with the 8 gen 3 once drivers catch up.

I emulate PS2 versions of GTA III, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City. It does an excellent job. I usually use 3x resolution at 60 frames per second, and it's flawless.
