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
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.

Cursed to remove my phone case every time I use the backbone.
The GameSir G8 Galileo is pretty great if you just need the USB-C connection and no Bluetooth. Feels a lot like a regular Xbox controller, and I don’t have to remove my phone case to plug it in. These smaller, more Switch-like ones are super uncomfortable to me.

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

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

GameSir 8 Galileo still worth it now?
Asking if anyone has this controller is moot, you are on the Gamesir subreddit, there will be many people that own this. It's good, it's sturdy, quiet; but the D-pad is loud and clicky so I avoid using it on planes or in bed with someone. I use the X5 Lite instead for travel. The G8 Galileo will not

Mobile gaming. Використання геймпададів
Використовую Gamesir G8 Galileo, поки що усім задоволений. Проходив метроідванії на емуляторі свіча, грав в Pursuit Force та в Ghost Rider теж на емулі, з плеймаркету проходив Afterimage , грав у ZZZ та зараз в Endfield. Коротше, якщо грати в щось повноцінне або емулятори, то геймпад майже мастхев.

Some quick gameplay of Red Dead Redemption iPhone 15 Pro
Touch screen controls are that’s why I just gave up and got the G8 Galileo
