RetroArch vs Lemuroid vs .emu: 127 Cores, $4.99 Each [2026]

As of August 2026, the main options for Android emulators include RetroArch, Lemuroid, and the .emu family of apps. RetroArch offers extensive system coverage and features, including netplay and rewind capabilities, but can be confusing for new users due to its multiple versions. Lemuroid is recognized for its simplicity and quick setup, making it ideal for beginners. The .emu family provides dedicated emulators for individual consoles, ensuring optimized performance but requiring a purchase for each app. RetroArch and Lemuroid are free, while the .emu apps cost around .99 CAD each. All three emulator options are legal, provided users supply their own BIOS files and ROMs. Devices with Snapdragon 660-class chips or newer are recommended for optimal performance across these emulators.

Windows update that breaks some multiplayer games linked to our desire for gaming PCs that light up all the colors of the rainbow

A bug following the Windows update KB5121003 has caused several games, including Arc Raiders, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and The Finals, to become unresponsive. Embark Studios suggested that the crashes are linked to the driver inpoutx64.sys and recommended disabling it through the Command Prompt. Microsoft confirmed that the update is the cause of the issues and is investigating a potential connection between RGB lighting components and the affected games. They provided a method to disable the driver via the registry, advising users to back up the registry first. Disabling the driver may affect RGB lighting features. Users can also consider rolling back to a previous Windows update as a temporary solution.

My FOMO over The Duskbloods not coming to PC evaporated once I actually played it

The Duskbloods is a multiplayer game exclusive to the Switch 2, which was tested in a closed network event. Players had access to only one map and six characters, with no build customization and significant input lag issues. The tutorial was incomplete, leaving many gameplay aspects unclear. The game features mechanics similar to MOBAs, where players collect Virtue points while battling AI-controlled enemies and other players. Players can recruit enemies as allies, adding a strategic element. The game has a nostalgic charm reminiscent of older titles, but it currently lacks the depth and cohesion seen in previous FromSoftware games. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki's comments suggest that the game may remain a Nintendo exclusive, similar to Bloodborne's situation.
