I’d like to get into android gaming if there is anything good out there. I am open for any genre but I have a few requirements
Has to be either free or have a free way to get it
Has to not be riddled with spyware (hard ask I know lol)
No mandatory accounts
Offline if possible
Preferably controller support out of the box
Is this too much to ask? Any recommendations?
Should I just look at what other old console games I can get?
A retrpid pocket 4 pro,
It does ps2 OK but with a lot of unused screen
I’m assuming you’re referring to black bars left and right? Many PS2 games were 4:3, although over the course of the system’s lifespan, more and more did support 16:9 natively and the system could be set to widescreen from the start.
You can set the aspect ratio of the PS2 emulator on this system to widescreen in the options. This should cover most if not all games, including those that never officially did support widescreen.
Nope, bars left, right up and down
Cool I’ll try set it up, thx
Huh, that’s odd. I haven’t seen this in videos of the system emulating PS2. This might be done for performance reasons (1x PS2 resolution, no upscaling - something like that), but even if that’s the case, you should be able to set the emulator to fill the entire screen, with an upscaled image if necessary. Experiment with settings, but keep in mind that different PS2 games have vastly different hardware requirements in an emulator. Shadow of the Colossus will always run far worse than e.g. a simple licensed game like Ratatouille, so on limited hardware like yours, there’s no way around per-game settings for at least some titles.
