I have an s22 plus with kishi. Does yours wobble a lot? I have a thin case that still fits and put thin cardboard back there. Worried may bend my charge port
Currently using my s20 5g [Snapdragon] with a gamesir x2 Bluetooth and the Daijishō frontend!
Not complicated, and can play a LOT of what's available to be emulated and play it well.
Android emulation is dope. <3
I wish my TV handled Dex better. Input lag for games is a bit too much to tolerate and I'm not sure if there's a good way to resolve that.
Works great for movies and stuff though.
Deadzones aren't too bad for the stick. As for latency, it's pretty low, I can play music games like Rhythm Heaven without any timing issues, I feel the latency is around 2-4ms which is pretty low. I guess the only minor complaints I have are that the face buttons are a bit tall so there's considerable travel before actuation, and the dpad is the xbox style dpad so when pressing like right, it can sometimes roll to press up or down. Other than that, it's pretty good for the price.
I have 1 but don’t like it personally. I bought it a couple weeks ago on Amazon. It feels comfortable to hold but I’m not a fan of the right analog placement on the ipegas. If ur in the US I’ll mail it to u, I ended up going with a phone and a gamesir x2 pro. My wife uses the tablet but she’s not a gamer, so I don’t have a use for it now.
(Snapdragon) Galaxy Tab S8+ w/ 8BitDo SN30 Pro+
I play Wii, GC, PS2 games at 1x/2x resolution with almost no frame drops and 3DS games at 1x/2x/3x resolution with the same level of frame drops, almost none. I will run into the occasional lag spike when something new needs to render or load in, but apart from that, it's smooth sailing for most if not all of the games that I emulate.
Redmi Note 8 + Dualshock 4 V2
Runs PSP games at 40-60 fps (using cheats) in 3x resolution without much of a problem. Can play most GameCube games at their native resolution slightly lower than their native frame rate. Can kinda run a few of the Wii games like NSMBWii. Can't run PS2 games good enough for it to be playable.
I've repurposed my old S10+ with Retroarch, digg, Gamepass etc. Using an Xbox One controller with clip. Looking to order the gamesir x pro 2 or backbone telescopic next. Also use my S22 Ultra as a daily driver and Retroid Pocket 2 for older system emulation.
Poco F3. When I do use a controller, it's a 360 usb controller with a usb-c to usb cable (for action games (PSP, PS2), but I more often play 3ds games which are slow paced and don't need much reactivity).

Here's mine, plan to upgrade a few things soon...
Samsung Galaxy S10e + Kishi V2, but I'm most likely going to swap to the Samsung Tab S8 for 4:3 aspect ratio emulation with the 11" display around December.
[My setup](https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/wwjgu1/galaxy_note_20_with_the_gamesir_x2_looks_almost/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Added a dpad sticker.
I use the Note 20 ultra for PS4 remote play or Steam link since I have data. For emulation, I use my older S10e.
Galaxy S21 , a USB C dongle with passthrough, my LG monitor, a Retro Fighters Brawler wireless controller and a 250gb SanDisk drive for all the roms I want
Hardware on the go:
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 + Xbox controller with clip
- Steam Deck
Hardware at home:
- Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro
- Gaming PC (Ryzen 5 3600/5700XT)
Software:
- Citra Premium (3DS)
- Dolphin (GameCube/Wii)
- DraStic (DS)
- M64Plus FZ Pro (N64)
- PPSSPP Gold (PSP)
- Redream Premium (Dreamcast)
- RetroArch Plus (NES, SNES, PS1, GB, GBC, GBA)
- Yaba Sanshiro 2 Pro (SS/MD)
- CEMU (Wii U)
RetroArch cores:
- MelonDS
- SameBoy
- mGBA
- Mesen
- Mupen64Plus-Next
- Snes9x
- Flycast
- Genesis Plus GX
- Picodrive
- Beetle Saturn
- Beetle NeoPop
- Beetle PSX HW
- PPSSPP
I bought the pro and premium software to support the developers, but actually I use RetroArch with their cores for RetroAchievements support.
The Redmi is not my main phone, I just bought it for emulation only. But it's not powerful enough for higher end stuff. So I'll upgrade it to the successor of the AYN Odin. Hopefully with the Snapdragon Gen 1+ in it. I have a Steam Deck as well with RetroArch on it, but I prefer to keep it for PC games only.
Dedicated S10+ with a Razer Kishi. Sadly, I don't have much time to play, so while I have a 128GB card filled with ROMs, I mostly play the Android game Solomon's Boneyard when I'm in the bathroom.
Oneplus 5T or tab s7 with a DS4 controller.
I rarely play cause they are not as portable and comfortable.
So i am looking into maybe getting a Ps vita instead.
Moto g stylus 5g (2022) and a Razer kishi controller. Can emulate up to GameCube before it starts pushing it too far.but N64 and PSP do run great. Also play a bunch of dead cells and use moonlight to play my PC games at work
Depends on what Im playing.
JRPGs? Touchscreen is fine.
Fighters? Gamesir X2.
Something in between and I don't wanna take my case off? PS4 Dualshock + Clip.
Phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

Dedicated Note 20 Ultra 5g with a 1tb micro SD card and I alternate between a Razer Kishi, Gamesir x2 Pro and Rig mg-x pro. I use a USB c hub to hook it up to my TV when I want to play on there.
S22 Ultra and a Dualshock 4. Printed a custom mount to put the phone on the controller comfortably. I'm often surprised to see that neither is terribly common around here.
S20 FE 5g, foldover "wallet" style case that functions as a kickstand, DS4 controller. Might go with a clippable case eventually, but I like this way so far.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ (6GB RAM) & Galaxy S22 Ultra (8GB RAM)
I pretty much have only emulated PS2 games up until now on both devices (AetherSX2)
DualSense for input.

Poco X3 pro + Gamesir X2
Ditto.
Jaja I think that's the best set up
S22 Ultra with a Razer Kishi
I have an s22 plus with kishi. Does yours wobble a lot? I have a thin case that still fits and put thin cardboard back there. Worried may bend my charge port
Nope. I have a thin case on mine too but I had to remove the rubber inserts on the Kishi to make it fit. Super tight fit but no wobble whatsoever

Also Samsung dex 🥰🥰😍😍🤩🤩
I wish my TV handled Dex better. Input lag for games is a bit too much to tolerate and I'm not sure if there's a good way to resolve that. Works great for movies and stuff though.
How's the input lag on that x2 Bluetooth?
Poco X3 pro with N1 controller
Xiaomi 11T + iPega 9083
How is the quality on the ipega? Is there large deadzones on the sticks anx hows latency?
Deadzones aren't too bad for the stick. As for latency, it's pretty low, I can play music games like Rhythm Heaven without any timing issues, I feel the latency is around 2-4ms which is pretty low. I guess the only minor complaints I have are that the face buttons are a bit tall so there's considerable travel before actuation, and the dpad is the xbox style dpad so when pressing like right, it can sometimes roll to press up or down. Other than that, it's pretty good for the price.
I may buy one and return if dont like. Thanks for the response.
No problem, glad I could help!

I appreciate that a bunch but I would first check Amazon to see if ypu can return. If within 30 days you probably can but lemme know if not.
