A demo of the tech running in The Last of Us Part 1 showed a 30 FPS gaming experience boosted to 100 FPS with 4x frame-generation.

Android PC gaming is slowly taking off, with apps such as GameNative and GameHub making it possible for everyday Android gamers to install and run PC games from their mobile devices. Now, PC-centric gaming features are also trickling over to Android, specifically, multi-frame generation. A new update for the GameNative Android app has unlocked support for Lossless Scaling's multi-frame generation technology.

LSFG's frame generation tech works a bit differently in GameNative compared to how the app behaves on a normal Windows desktop PC. The tech must be enabled on a per-game basis and requires the user to enable frame generation in the GameNative container settings, after which the app is downloaded through the user's Steam account.

In the current landscape of PC gaming on Android, multi-frame generation will likely be the only way to achieve triple-digit FPS in heavier PC titles. We've seen AAA titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 run at over 60 FPS on the liquid-cooled RedMagic 11 Pro, but most people don't have this type of hardware at their disposal.

GameNative is one of a handful of Android apps capable of running PC games and comes with the necessary translation layers to do so. We recently tested GameNative but found it has teething issues with driver and API support.

    GameNative is an AI slop clone of Brunodev85's Winlator that's created by a scamming Indian who is making it seem like they're doing an original work. Similarly, GameHub is a Chinese clone of Brunodev85's stolen work which upon installation, requires access to every permission-gated component of your phone possible while running a keylogger that sends everything, and I mean everything to their Firebase database in Hong Kong.

    the irony of writing a false claim ai-generated comment and claim their good work is "ai". also what does their nationality or ethnicity have anything to do with their apps?

    And Winlator is a wrapper of a combination other people's work. There is basically no difference. And also without citations, your hallucinations of AI is even worse than AI halucinating about AI.

    Brunodev85 has clearly cited his work and shown an LGPL license due to its viral nature (from precursor work).

    If you were capable of basic reading and writing, you'd have been able to discern between a comment written by a human and LLM.
