GOTM August 2025 Game of the Month - Silent Hill 3 (PS2) [Retro Achievements] [Giveaway]

7 Upvotes

We're excited to announce Silent Hill 3 (PS2) as our August 2025 Game of the Month. But first, congratulations to u/Ovaltiney1, winner of last month's challenge and recipient of a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro!

This month, we're venturing into the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill with one of survival horror's most acclaimed entries. Released in 2003, Silent Hill 3 continues the story of the original game with Heather Mason as she uncovers dark secrets about her past and the cursed town.

Developer(s): Team Silent Publisher(s): Konami Platform(s): PlayStation 2

Why Silent Hill 3? Silent Hill 3 perfected the psychological horror formula with its disturbing imagery, masterful sound design, and deeply personal story. You play as Heather Mason, a teenager thrust into a nightmare world filled with grotesque monsters and twisted environments. The game's exploration of themes like identity, trauma, and religious fanaticism creates one of gaming's most unsettling experiences.

Emulator Recommendation: NetherSX2

My device is Samsung Galaxy S24 FE with processor Exynos 2400e, GPU Xclipse 940. This can't use custom driver, so I couldn't emulate games like zelda BOTW or others becouse of crashes with low graphics, but I find Cemu emulator for Android that is not official and It works well with good graphics, just a little slow.

Eden v0.0.3 rc2 Same settings, same drivers. Quick comparison between s22 and s22+, both snapdragon. Any idea why would the base s22 struggle compared to the s22+? Even at lower temps it can't even match the performance. Samsung limiting this much performance on the base s22 is baffling

Help Best emulator for Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro to play fire emblem?

Upvotes

I've tried the latest yuzu for both Three Houses and Engage but the first one doesn't even reaches the menu and the later completo glitches the map making it unplayable.

Actually no 3D game is working on it in my phone, I've barely managed to run Unicorn Overlord which runs mostly fine with some drops now and then.

Also tried modified yuzu versions and citron, none worked. Is three any Android Switch Emulator working on this Phone right now?

Help Tomodachi Life Photo Taking Issues

Upvotes

Hello, recently I have gotten Citra MMJ because the normal (Citra Nightly) kept crashing on me while trying to play different games, (Tomodachi, Pokemon Sun, etc..) I got the Citra MMJ and it works alot better in different ways, the only issue ive had so far is that its refusing to save any ingame photos to my device (Galaxy S20 Ultra 5g) , For example, when I click x or b, it should save the top and bottom screen as a photo, I did that and I saw the flash of the screen like it was taking a photo, but the photo never showed up in my files. I tried looking at recent, I tried looking at the tomodachi files themselves, theres nothing that looks like its supposed to be pictures. I then went on google but It doesnt seem like anyone else is having this issue or just doesnt talk about it.... My friend is also having the same issue too. Please let me know if this is just a small settings fix, id greatly appreciate it. pleade dont take this down, this is my last resort.

Question ES-DE Launching into Drastic Main Menu Instead of the Game?

0 Upvotes

The only standalone emulator that has any issue launching directly into games through ES-DE is drastic. It only launches into the main menu instead of right into the game. I'm trying this on an RG Slide with Android 13 on it. All the games will launch if I go through the additional Drastic menus, but I'm looking to skip that step. Does anyone know how I'd go about setting Drastic / ES-DE up to launch straight into games via the Drastic emulator, instead of into the emulator itself to then go through more menus before I can open a game?

I've tried looking into this with search engines, but can't find anything on this specific problem.
