Really good electronic entertainment video, I learned a lot from this game player 👍

[@superhnvid]

Looks great. This is with only 4GB of vram allocated?
Imagine how this would drive on a ROG Phone 8 Pro, or how it would compare to a Dimensity 9200.
This phone has active cooling fans, right? How hard were they blowing during this?

[@reaser000]

Yeah, 4GB is the maximum amount of VRAM you can allocate for a Winlator Container
Regarding the ROG Phone 8, currently for PC game emulation people recommend devices with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC as most drivers/emulators haven't been optimized for Gen 3 yet. Once those are optimized I assume they will be significantly better for running these games.
For emulation on Android, phones with Snapdragon SoCs have a significant advantage over any other chipset regardless of general performance due to Vulkan support.
As for cooling, yeah I was using the Aeroactive Cooler 7 set to max fan speed. Keeps the phone around 40°C so it never starts throttling. Tbh you don't really need active cooling for pretty much anything else, but it is god tier for PC game emulation. I personally never thought I would get this much use out of it. The 4 physical buttons also help a ton in PC games.

Can you make a tutorial video for the mod installation and what version of the game are you using? Would be very helpful.
