Note: games were tested on a MediaTek processor, with 8 GB of RAM (PocoC65.) Keep in mind what works for me may not work for you, depending on your phone.
If this helps, I'm happy❤️✨ I'll update when I test more games. I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks! Would be cool if you could test if DistortedCode runs or if it still crashes.

Thank you for the Excel! I was playing a bit with it and was thinking how we could make a 'community' excel, so more ppl could help with testing. I made some changes: 1. The first sheet will be the master one, where only games will be listed with an overall compatibility 'score', 2. The second sheet will be for individual tests, so anyone can contribute by following the format. Check it out, if you like the format/idea :)

Edit: Sheets merged with Juxx's one :))

It's perfect!!! ❤️✨❤️It must have been so much work!!! If you need help with anything just tell me!!!

Today I have time so I'm going to test other games and update the list!!❤️
 
The link for vita3k document says I need to request access, can you check it please?
 
I would be too honestly. I suggested some improvement on the switch emu one and rather than having two sheets I asked if we could compile them together, hence I got permission 😆✌️.

Normally I would ask Juxx, but I think they intended to share the excel, so I took the initiative
 
Would like to add some suggestion if it isn't too much, maybe separate the switch compatibility based on mediatek/snapdragon phone or PC tab? Some android emulator can't run some games that can run on PC version emulator, moreover since there's no OpenGL option (only vulkan) on switch android emulator.

For example: Utakata no Uchronia/Illusion of Itehari Live 2D sprite is glitch a lot that it's hard to play the game from android emu version due to the config needed to use OpenGL that it can run smoothly without glitch on PC version emu.

the weakness of switch phone emu:
1. 70-90% video/movie does not appear to be smoothly played
2. Live 2D sprite like LicoBits games is presumably glitch a lot and hard to be played

not much contribution but already tried BYAKKO until 100% completion. Everything is perfect with the exception OP/ED movie maybe add it too? I tried 7 scarlet too on phone, the intro is bugging on eden/sudachi but it is passable using Kenji-NX, haven't play the game until the end so i don't know the rest.

and ofc thanks for the compatibility excel.

Oh thank yo for the suggestion. So far Juxx tests things on her phone, so it's still solo tester sheet.

I am thinking of making something akin to Google form connected to the comments sheet and set it up, so some aggregate score will show up on the master one.

I will def take your suggestion into account and try to tweak it a bit :))

Thanks for replying, that's a great idea too. I'll be waiting for further update of this thread.

Yes the switch versions!
On Eden Juxx says (see spreadsheet)

Performance:Good/Okay
Stable FPS, unstable and broken audio, but nothing that affects gameplay.

I am not the tester, so I cannot compare if u get worse/better performance on different emus or not. Sorry 🙏

Thanks guys for the doc, it's a nice initiative!
I have two questions though :

1)for games with compatibility problems, is there someone who is in charge of reporting on the emulator github the problem (so it gets fixed)?
2)What do you all think about making a 100% savefile thing as well? @ramtam already started sharing their savefiles but maybe we could make an 'official' group effort?

I'm only giving the idea by the way, I don't want yet another responsibility or I'll get burned out haha, so yeah don't expect me to start it :P

I am doing only cosmetic changes, so maybe Juxx would correct me, but as of now, it is not directly reported to devs. I have in my backlog to make simple form that would be connected to the sheet with possible compatibility with the template for reporting in the official emulator page.

Some ppl could be a bit overwhelmed with making reports directly to the official github/site of the particular emu. Not sure, if second hand data would be of any interest, but better something than nothing I guess.


As for 2, I was thinking THE EXACT DAMN THING ><. I would love to have community repo for saves. I have lost part of my saves during my Vita going bananas T-T.

Thank you for answering the questions, I'm very busy this month! I promise to get back to testing games soon!
I don't mind sharing my game saves ✨❤️ so, one observation: some I finished and others I only played the complete prologue to test the game!

1_ I posted some observations about some games on the Vita3k Android, but since they haven't updated the Android version in a year, I've lost hope for Android.

That's why I was testing with the VITA3KZX version, and it's the version that worked best for me because they updated it and some games that don't work on the official version work on this one.

Regarding the Switch emulator, I don't know why, but the only one that works well on my phone is Eden, because the other Yuzu forks have been causing the screen to flicker ever since the Xiaomi update.
So I only tried Eden and a few times Kenji, but since it got slow I focus on Eden.


2) I think it's a wonderful idea. I lost my save files froam Amnesia on vita save; I only had one route left 😭and I lost motivation to finish it, so I think it's incredible to have saved files!
I can share some of the things I have some from Eden and Vita.
An organized group would make things much easier!

Obrigada por isso! 💖 Meninas, em qual emulador os jogos paralelos de Tokimeki Girls rodam melhor para vocês?
The best one I tested between Kenji and Eden on (my phone) was Eden. The audio is a bit choppy, but everything else is okay. I'm almost finished a route in the game and so far there haven't been any problems that are hindering gameplay.

Infortunately, I only have my phone to test the games at the moment, and my computer isn't very powerful either, so it wouldn't be of any use.
It's true that in most games the movies don't work or they freeze, but for those who really want to play, I disregard the opening 🥲
7'scarlet, I tested it on all the ones I found, including Yuzu, Sudachi, Eden, Kenji, and others. And they all either crashed or started the prologue without problems but then crashed and exited.
I'd love to try new tests in others phones, but it won't be possible on my phone. It's more of a guide for those who have a processor similar to mine and want some help instead of wasting time testing.🥲❤️

When I have more time I want to make guides, just testing windows games on mobile phones, with emulators such as winlator and wine(I tested a version that runs well some old Japanese visual novels) and some apps onScripter ,kirkiri and joiplay( for Ren'Py and some unity but tailor takes don't work)

Thanks for replying and make some time to replying each comment even though you're busy. i see so 7'scarlet unplayable too then. It's okay take your time and do what you can for now, Juxx. I mostly use sudachi and eden but haven't tried some other new games...unless maybe OVER REQUIEMZ but still haven't progressed further.

Some switch games that i've tested so far on phone is:

On Redmi Note 9 pro (Mainly use Yuzu/Sudachi):

- Birushana Senki Genpei Hika Musou ENG version is perfectly playable. I've finished 3 routes. (unless the OP/ED movie is appears stuttering and sound delay)..i guess the same for the other emu?
- Nil Admirari is playable too but haven't continue further after prologue so i can't 100% proof that it's perfectly playable.
- Matsurika no Kei is playable too with 90% op movie appears smoothly play till the end. Haven't play the game too only tested the intro game.
- Yoshiwara Higanbana is playable too with OP/ED movie 80% playing smoothly (video delay problem iirc). Finished 1 route.
- Chou no Doku is playable but only tried it after the first text box appears.
- Taisho x Alice All in One is playable but can't say more since i only tried the intro.
- Kurenai no Homura Sanada Ninpou Chou is playable too (so far i only tried until the prologue) iirc the OP movie is appear to be smoothly playing.
- Code Realize is playable but i only tried the intro. OP movie is stuttering.
- Collar x Malice is playable on Yuzu but on Sudachi it's forced closed sometimes.
- Clock Zero is playable on Yuzu but on Sudachi it's forced closed sometimes.
- Sekimorigami is playable too.
- Meiji Katsugeki is playable on Yuzu forced close sometimes on Sudachi, sprite appears like separate/cut in the neck area of the character.
- Norn9 : Var Commons is playable but some texture like sakura petals appears glitched.
- Getsuei no Kusari is playable too but only tried the intro. Sound bug can be solved by changing the audio to cubeb.
- Shinigami to Shoujo is playable but the text appears like hieroglyph so i can't read anything. Some users on reddit suggest disable asynchronous shader but maybe that's only on PC?
- Even if Tempest is playable but only shows up text box without any background picture/sprite.
- Watashi no Real wa Juujitsu Shisugiteiru is playable but haven't tried further.

From Infinix HOT 50 mainly use Sudachi latest version and Eden 0.003:

- BYAKKO playable 100%.
- OVER REQUIEMZ playable too, lack perform freeze on OP movie only.
- Matsurika no Kei is playable too, op movie appears stuttering a bit but play till the end. Haven't play the game too only tested the intro game.

Eden emu released 0.004 version 2 days ago with REV15 update, maybe it can passable the Distorted Code issues on phone emu?
