Developers still continue to shaft anyone that isn't using an IBM PC compatible. But if the IBM PC was more closely related to the latest Nexus/Pixel device, then would the gaming experience on smartphones be any good?
The very robust selection and extreme amount of fine-tuning of emulators on that really old business laptop vs... all Android gets. The only Sega hardware that is emulated on Android is the Dreamcast. For Saturn and below, there is nothing. Even weak IBM PCs just have a very robust library of games that smartphones have stopped making attempts to catch up to.
Technically Dreamcast emulation is superior on Android over anything else... but you can easily run Android apps on an IBM PC.
Except, I am talking about an ultra-low-end business laptop with integrated graphics and 4 GB of RAM...from 2015. Its gaming experience is still dramatically superior to even flagship smartphones from 2022, simply because those smartphones are not IBM PC compatible enough to run any software.
Actually, the answer for small screens is specially for porn games. A lot of people cannot comfortably enjoy them on a laptop or desktop IBM PC, so they need a device they can take with them into their bed so they can comfortably play these.
Unfortunately, the developers did not listen, so people like me risk hurting their neck and back to play these in bed by using a laptop.
Not to mention, my Pixel 7 Pro has a much better display than my laptop.
I thought smartphones based on the arm64-v8a (or in some cases, armeabi-v7a) were actually the largest market for computers right now, and yet, despite having a larger market, they have a far crappier gaming experience.
Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?
By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people
Honestly, being in the US surrounded by iPhones really pisses me off. To make matters worse, I am in the age range of the teens who love their iPhones. I really, really, really hate the iPhone and the iSheep that somehow use it. I feel like brain surgery is required to become an iSheep that can actually use an iPhone.
Honestly, I also hate Android too. I am going to quit using cell phones entirely because they piss me off.
Also, is there an exhaustive list of every single thing normies do on their phones? Normies as in US Gen Z normies. I already know advertisers figured this out.
AetherSX2 was the closest thing to PCSX2 originally. It actually worked very well but unfortunately, it was closed-source (at least the Android version), and the lead developer had enough of us, so the emulator was discontinued and died off. Is there any work on bringing PCSX2 back to Android?
