Which app you are hosting which you feel others in the community don’t know

RomM It is like Plex but for video games. Once set up, you can upload .ZIP, .RAR, .ISO, etc. files of ROMs without even needing to uncompress. RomM scans the games in, can pull metadata from IGDB (free through Twitch Developer Portal to link). You can even play the games direct in the browser via Ja

MCON Controller is Complete Garbage

The main thing that got me with this device was when I watched a video after it had been released, of the guy who designed making out like it was more ergonomic then the Gamesir G8 Galileo, who's he kidding??

MCON Controller is Complete Garbage

That's hilarious. The G8 Galileo feels like a proper console controller. It's even more ergonomic than any dedicated Android handheld I've ever owned. The marketing around this controller is so ridiculous.

Can anyone recommend me a robust good build quality version of this, so many cheap nasty crap on the market that wouldn’t survive travelling

I went with the GameSir G8 Galileo to have a controller that does not need recharging. Feels great in hand, works perfectly on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. You can even set the menu button to open Moonlight.

Saw someone asking about these handheld controllers i know nothing a out them but is the Mocagen any good or what other brand would be considered better. My current set is a RM11s

The GameSir Galileo G8 Plus is, in my opinion, the best one.

Phone + Kishi v2 + GeForce NOW is lowkey the best portable setup

I did the same and I can't believe how much better Gamesir G8 Galileo is for a half price.

Got frustrated at tablet gaming so got myself a portal!

Sweet! I wish I could afford a Portal for the DualSense features, but it's not in the budget so I ended up getting the Gamesir G8 Galileo controller a couple weeks ago. It has completely changed how much I'm able to game, I love the portability, and my daughter loves that I'll no longer fall asleep

Let's see what you got!

I use RomM to host the ZIPs/RARs, but I am not fully pleased with the browser-based gaming experience. It is an amazing concept but not quite there. It is finicky with the menu dropdowns and whether things launch full-screen or not. What I landed on was buying a G8 Galileo controller for my Android

I underestimated emulator in android until I tried it myself

Yeah, the same happened to me lmao I've always loved portable gaming, I've even kept a PSP with me for a long time, but I always thought that emulating on android was kinda unpractical And for some time it was, I remember trying N64 and Ps1 emulation on a Redmi Note 7 with an Ipega controller, and w

MCON ruined clamp-style mobile controllers for me

Yeah, I keep mine in my backpack pretty much permanently. So nice to have at hand all the time. I certainly never did that with clamp style controllers. I've barely touched my G8 Galileo since receiving the MCON.
