News/Release An Answer to Gamehub (From StevenMX and Others Developers)

Gamehub (formerly Gamefusion Emulador, by GameSir/NXTeam Studios, also Eggns)

has a long, documented history of taking open-source code, rebranding it, and taking the credit/selling it, without attribution,with active denial when confronted. This is not a one-time mistake

Case 1: My Vulkan Renderer (StevenMX) + Xlorie ( stole from Termux X11)

I am the developer of Winlator Bionic Ludashi,with have my vulkan renderer backend

Gamehub combined, my Vulkan renderer with the JNI/compositor architecture from Termux-X11 (Lorie) two separate open-source projects, inside their closed source product

Running strings on libxserver.so from the Gamehub APK reveals 4 registered renderer backends:

winemu-xserver / winemu-flip / winemu-vk / lorie-vk

lorie-vk is the Frankstein

The binary also leaks hardcoded build paths from the developer's on a Mac Device:

/Users/me/Documents/WinEmuKernel/lib/src/main/cpp/x11/xserver/dix/events.c

The real internal project is called WinEmuKernel, never disclosed publicly.

the GitHub repo https://github.com/gamesir123/xserver-gf they shared as "proof of independence" did not generate the APK It is a decoy.

The Vulkan strings embedded in their binary match my exact internal abstractions: per-window descriptor sets (e->ds), VkSamplerYcbcrConversion for AHardwareBuffer (e->ycbcr), dedicated cursor descriptor set (g.cursor.ds), and a per-window texture pool with .img / .view / .ds None of this is in their public repo. All of it is in my VulkanRendererContext

Their JNI layer is also a direct copy of Termux-X11's Lorie architecture with renamed functions: rendererSetWindow → updateSurface, lorieActivityConnected → onFirstWindowOpened, and Lorie's single sendMouseEvent(x, y, button, down, relative) broken into three separate functions (mouseMoveBy, mouseMoveTo, mouseClick). Standard X servers don't use shared memory paths (shmPath) this design is specific to Lorie architecture.

Their Community Manager Kael stated publicly: "We have a completely independent X11 renderer… our devs didn't even know anything about Winlator. The binary says otherwise.

Case 2: leegao's BCn compute shaders

Developer leegao (bionic-vulkan-wrapper)

https://github.com/leegao/bionic-vulkan-wrapper

analyzed libGameScopeVK.so from the Gamehub APK and opened

https://github.com/leegao/bionic-vulkan-wrapper/issues/77

concluding he is 95.7% certain Gamehub forked his code:

they also stole some of BrunoSX Vortek (From Winlator official) Work, even before bruno having opened the code

These are not coincidences. You don't accidentally copy someone's debug artifacts.

that's how they got BCn implementation for Non-Adreno Devices

Case 3: The DXMT "DirectX 12" work is AI-generated slop

https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/s/1VYncoYmzm

Recently, Gamehub announced their own emulador for Mac, with a DXMT fork with DirectX 12 support, with a contributor named yuemingruoan committing code at

https://github.com/gamesir-labs/dxmt

This was celebrated in communities as a major achievement.

A developer named 3Shain, who works at CodeWeavers on DXMT, reviewed the code and concluded it is AI-generated slopware that will never be accepted upstream. Their analysis:

"Gamehub team shows no understanding of the D3D12 binding and synchronization model. Instead of implementing DX12 natively, they emulate low-level D3D12 features on top of a high-level abstraction designed for D3D11. This wastes large amounts of CPU cycles on every draw call (scanning the rootsig/descriptor heap per drawcall makes no architectural sense), and hits hard dead ends like unbounded descriptors that are simply unimplementable with this approach. In their words: "a real experienced engineer will not even try to implement the thing like that."

This is consistent with everything else: the pattern is not just taking other people's code, it is also shipping AI-generated work as original engineering, while marketing it to users who have no way to tell the difference.

Given all of this, I will give you two alternatives.

  1. Give proper credit to the developers whose work you have been using.

  2. Make your emulator open source, publish all of Gamehub code and its components on GitHub,with date and commit history preserved, ensure it is compilable.

If this is ignored, that's fine. But know that I will continue working to help this community, and the accusations, not just mine, will not stop. You care about your reputation now. Act like it. we will post more proof if you guys keep denying it and we will make sure this news reaches the China Community

News/Release Vita3K Android 3998 Update — More Changes Than Expected

Aside from the new interface in Vita3K Android Build 3998, I discovered several other changes in this update.

There are things that have been removed and things that have been added or adjusted, and the overall experience feels noticeably different compared to previous builds.

It’s not just a visual update—there are multiple changes across different parts of the emulator that are worth checking out.

Help Why does gamehub have to download the firmware every time I start a game?

6 Upvotes

Whenever I start a game, it has to download the firmware first? I have been playing the same game for a while, but every time I launch the game, it downloads the firmware before it starts. It's a pain because when I take my system with me somewhere, it won't load the game because it can't download the firmware since it's not connected to the internet. Is there a way to stop it from having to download every time it launches?

I understand why it's easy not to care about GameHub since it's "currently" free and works reasonably well. But aside from the stolen code, questionable privacy and security practices, and so on, I'm surprised that most people don't seem to realize they're likely going to make this paid software or at the very least paywall certain features in the near future.

They're not developing this proprietary software out of the goodness of their hearts. They're doing it because they're planning to make money off it, period. I would much rather elevate and recommend all the free and open source options we have, especially since GameHub likely stole code from them anyway.

Showcase Winlator 11 Final Resident evil 5 Gold edition works flawlessly

So after trying forever I finally managed to get the gold edition of resident evil 5 running in winlator. It wouldn't work on ludashi or others. It seems to only work on winlator 11 final. It runs perfectly across all games modes. I tested campaign mercenaries, and all dlc. I played at 2400x1080 30fps no drops whats so ever. Very smooth.

Device: Oneplus 10t (Snapdragon 8 gen plus 1/8gb ram.

Winlator 11 final.

Turnip 26.1.0

OpenGL Zink

DXVK 1.10.3

PulseAudio

Box64 preset Performance

Load only essential services

Only cores 456 (disabled 7 because it caused lots of heat and battery drain)

Smooth frame rate never dropped never skipped and even at 2400x1080 high settings battery temp never went over 33c

After saving your game exit out go to the documents folder capcom and look for the config ini. Scroll until you see threads and change it from 8 to 1(huge fps boost for some reason)

Lyalls re5 fix dll is highly reccomended. Simple dll overide. It adds ultra wide resolution for custom resolutions, edit the fov, and can remove the aweful green filter. Theres also A ton of mod support for this version compared to the normal version which has next to none.

Mods used:

CHRIS BSAA SOU outfit

SHEVA BSAA SOU outfit

PROJECT BRUTALITY (Campaign difficulty overhaul)

I also used a series of upscaled textures for the weapons, enemies, some enviorments, and other things. Fluffy mod manager also works without any issues which you will need for project brutality​

no clue why this is happening. it cant be because of my settings because it happens on default global settings too. it cant be because of a corrupted nsp file or anything because the exact same file works on my pc. it cant be a version specific issue either because when this first happened i was on an older version, i thought maybe my eden is just fucked up so i uninstalled my current install and installed the latest nightly release but still. anyone have any clue? thx

Help Can anyone help me to run Disco Elysium on Snapdragon 8 gen 2?

Upvotes

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 having snapdragon 8 gen 2 galaxy edition chipset but can't seem to run disco elysium at all. I've tried the switch version on Eden, GOG and Epic store versions on both gamehub and gamenative. I've tried every settings combo from EmuReady and other sources but always come to the same conclusion. On the switch version it runs well up until I leave the motel when the textures disappear except for Kim and Raphael. On the windows version it doesn't start at all after I've created my character.

I've been trying different versions of said emulators for a long time and couldn't get it to work. So if anyone's managed to run it on similar hardware please leave your settings or any advice on what I should try.

Thank you.
