Custom emulator Android?

[snoopaloop83]

Howdy,

I recently got a Retroid Pocket 4 and I have been using Launch Box as my front end of choice. One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to set a custom emulator. With the device came a emulator for GameCube called "Dolphin for handheldx. This emulator works quite a bit better than the Dolphin in the app store. But I can't seem to figure out how to get Launch Box to use this emulator. It asks me for a package name, activity name, and path key. I guess I'm not super well versed on Android OS.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Based on what I've gathered, it looks like Dolphin for Handheld is essentially just MMJR2 repackaged. Maybe similar to this one: https://github.com/Medard22/Dolphin-MMJR2-VBI/

We'll look into it and see if we can add it as a separate emulator entry for a future update.

Ok thanks...I just was curious if I could enter some sort of manual command to utilize it.

@admin can we get some instructions how to use the option to add a custom emulator?

カスタムエミュレータの追加方法は以下の通りです。

①アプリのパッケージ名やアクティビティ名を調べるアプリをインストールする(その為のアプリはプレイストアにありますので探して下さい。どのようなアプリを使えばいいのかは検索すればわかります。)

②Launchboxのカスタムエミュレータ登録のパッケージ名入力欄に登録したいアプリのパッケージ名を入力します。

③Launchboxのカスタムエミュレータ登録のアクティビティ名入力欄に登録したいアプリのアクティビティ名を入力します。

④パスキーは空欄で構いません。

Here's a document that talks about how to add a custom emulator, however, if there is an emulator that we should be added to our long list of emulators, let us know and we'll add it if we can for the next release.

Thx! It helped me understand the way it worked.

You need an app like "activity launcher" to have the correct names.

I could make Eden work like this!

Kenji NX seems to work good for Switch.

Anyway we could shoehorn Winlator in there even it just boots up the emulator shortcuts screen ?

I'd love a way to launch aPS3e and GameHub steam games if possible.

Currently, it's not possible because the production and beta versions of LaunchBox for Android don't support importing PS3 and GameHub Steam games.

In the next beta version, users will be able to import PS3 games and play them using the Custom Emulator (With Code).

When it comes to GameHub Steam games, it wouldn't be possible until we implement logic to import Steam games. To launch games on the GameHub emulator, the LB app must pass the Steam ID of the selected game. It's not currently supported.
