No .exe in both the ADB and scrcpy

The adb and scrcpy are actually exe files, the .exe file extension is usually hidden in Windows by default. I changed the settings on my Windows explorer to show all file extensions.

Go ahead and double-click scrcpy

*Modified, thanks to @ge.nius43

If you double-clicked and nothing happened, then right-click on scrcpy, click on "Run as Administrator", then click "Yes".

Where can I get them please? Also, are they free or paid apps?

ShadowGun Legends is free, but Grid Autosport is a paid app. They are both available on the Google Playstore.

I double clicked but bobo no run

Are you by chance using a Windows based system? If yes, did you extract the files in the folder? If you open the zipped file (without extracting or unzipping it) with Windows explorer and try double clicking on the application - it will not run. The zipped file must be unzipped.
Apologies if you have done all this already. When you click on scrcpy.exe it is supposed to open a new terminal window (A black screen with just text).

Shadowgun Legends is the most poorly optimised game on Android. Games that are graphically tasking he should try are Fortnite, Dragon Raja, Black Desert Mobile and Grid Autosports.

Well said.

Downloaded scrcpy with my fone and moved to my pc. After extracting the files didn't couldn't install

I need help

You actually don't need to install anything.
1. Download the program (it should be compressed in an archive file - a zip file) *Modified*
2. Extract the contents of the archived file to any folder of your choice
3. Open the new folder, locate scrcpy.exe and then double click it to run it (Notice the presence of adb.exe, so ensure USB debugging is enabled)
4. You are good to go.

Can someone recommend me some quality game that I can download to testrun my RN8 pro. Please include a link to where I can download from and I favour adventure games more please. Thank you all...

If you want to push your phone to its limits, try ShadowGun Legends. You can also try Grid Autosport.

For the newbies on the thread, I know it can be frustrating when it seems like you are been asked mundane and repetitive questions in your quest for answers. In such situations, take a deep breath, relax, and have the following at the back of your mind:
- The person trying to help you cannot see what you are seeing, there is such a thing as "lost in translation"
- Humility is key, when you ask for help you are only "stupid" for the period you are seeking for assistance
- Don't be hasty to respond, digest what has been typed. Many a needless war has been started on this thread because the parties involved were communicating at different frequencies. Some gurus here are a bit sarcastic, while others are plain. Understand properly before thinking you are being attacked.
- Anyone who takes time out to attend to your questions and queries deserves your respect. They are not being paid to do so. Anytime you feel like hulking out, turning green, and smashing stuff - remember this sober fact.
- Finally, there are some satanically demonic entities on this thread whose sole purpose is to cause chaos, disaffection, and generally increase the amount of entropy on this thread - avoid them at all costs.
Thank you.

@naijasensei how can you be calling our lawyer uncouth tongue

As a wise woman once told me - "Character is like smoke, it cannot be hidden". However, no matter how much a person is offered; it is very disgusting, tactless, clueless, and utterly classless for said person to love leading people astray. I am sure, once in a while, even the devil has to sit down and take notes from these diabolical entities.

Where do one download and install?

Fone or PC or both?

Install on your PC, then enable USB debugging on the phone, after which you connect the phone to the PC with a USB cable.

Good evening my people.
Please how can i view my phone screen on my Laptop. I need it when streaming matches especially. It's called cast or something

Screen mirroring is what you are looking for. I recommend scrcpy, download it, install it, enable USB debugging, connect your phone to your laptop, and enjoy yourself.

I don't want to fall my hand but if I don't ask I won't know. Does that means Qualcomm, Snapdragon, Mediatek, Exynos are company's making their chipsets?

You can only fall your hand while asking the question, when you receive the answer and assimilate it you become wiser. There are many people that don't understand stuff, but because they don't want to "fall their hands" or appear stupid - they refuse to ask questions, choosing instead to remain ignorant.

Tell me what happened bro like the deleted comments I wasn't around.

The usual gbas, gbos. Just that this time around, there is one troll like that, he made the mod delete the thread after starting several fights. One guy even did some forensic investigations, and proved to all and sundry that the new troll was none other than that miserable lawyer wannabe. Since the return of the thread, his pay masters have given him a mandate to resume here every morning; make outlandish claims, lie through his teeth, and to derail the thread. He, or rather it, has been desperately trying to get our attention, but we have decided to ignore it like the malfunctioning, pathetic thing that it is; because unlike it our lives don't revolve around nairaland.

thank you so much sire! i got the emulator and it worked like magic! just go to the game through the emulator and select it and it starts playing! the only fly in my ointment is that the game works only via the keyboard...is there any way i can make the game play through the usb pad i use for soccer games?!! like the normal ps1 pad but with usb port plugged to the system?
im not so tech savvy so id really appreciate if you can walk me through it like you did with the ePSX....thanks big bro, i owe you big time

As long as your PC can detect your gamepad, making it work with Epsxe is possible. Perform the initial controller configuration as illustrated in the attached pictures.

Hopefully that won't be the case. On the other front, there over a 100 app that have gotten more demanding after few updates, of my head I can tell you Facebook and Instagram.

A smartphone like someone said "is the companion you are closest to these days."
Smartphones are getting smarter and hungrier now, instead of increasing spead of cpus and gpus. More cores will bring a less burning solution. You can have 3 cores performing at 2.5GHZ making a total of 7.5GHZ on chip speed.
But it will be crazy to have 2 cores running at 3.7GHZ each and not expect the device to become a frying pan.

Spreading processing load among more cores would be good, because cores running at lower frequencies will be less likely to overheat. But, as for those two naughty apps you mentioned, they are in serious need of better optimization.

it has already been employed in core i9 cpus 10th gen, but since smartphones run on completely different architectures (RISC) all we can do is fold our hands and wait, to be honest these are the kind of things I wish I could explore here in the shit hole county, knowledge is just wasting cry

Nope, I am still referring to ARM CPUs. It is not only smartphones and tablets that use ARM SoCs, SoCs (ARM, x86, x64) are used heavily in embedded systems.

I totally understand what you're trying to point out, but suppose it's the same idea they're trying to bring to deca cores? Cos power consumption in mobile devices is 2 ways, up the battery capacity or lower the power draw

In smartphones, increasing battery capacity is a luxury many manufacturers can't afford, hence the more realistic approach of reducing power consumption.
Phones / Re: Dual Core, Quad Core, Octa Core. What Do They Mean? by naijasensei: 12:52pm On Jun 19, 2020
ZesusHVWritter:

On the contrary, 10 core is better.
Instead of have big-little core configuration of 2 powerful core, 2 less powerful core and 4 average performing core.

For 10 cores it becomes this.
3 powerful cores.
3 less powerful cores.
4 average performing cores.

And there is no power consumption problem, instead, its more power efficient. When the more power intense cores are not needed, they are completely dormant.
But when they are needed, the 3cores will complete tasks 20% faster against the performance of the 2 cores.
This actually brings better performance and more efficient use of the battery life and less heating.

The only shortcoming when the 10core architecture is considered, its developing a cpu smart enough to properly distribute the workload appropriately.

I am confident that issue won't be a problem for long, if it can be done for Octacore, decacore isn't far behind.

Some unverified information/speculation are claiming Mediatek is working on a twelve core chipset with ARM.

Please remember where you heard it first. From me :}

Even if the speculation is true, I am sure they won't first come to smartphones.

MATURELION:
you're right, it's just like intels i5 8500u (using it as an example) the only thing keeping that processor relevant in the i5 series is turbo boost technology (where the speeds bump up with more load applied for a certain amount of time before bottlenecking), but suppose they don't lower the speed? Or would that be unrealistic for mobile devices?

As you pointed out earlier, desktop and laptop CPUs are a completely different kettle of fish. The core-i U series CPUs are for low power usage scenarios, for example ultrabooks and 2-in-1 convertible laptops (The U stands for Ulira Low Voltage), because they have a TDP of 15W compared to the typical >=45W TDP of other CPUs. The boost mode (burst mode) is not for sustained workloads, just like the highest speed setting on a blender, or the red line a car's speedometer. The U series CPUs are not designed for that type of usage.

You are correct, what people don't know is that those series are generational, each series improves every year and they tend to use better cortex and more power efficient in those chip year on year. Poeple should not expect SD600 series to perform less than 5 past generation of 800 series, this is where the number matters
For instance i dont see why SD675 will not outperform SD821 or even SD835 both in processing power, image processing, graphics processing and power efficiency due to advent of new technology and chips making technique that was not available before, also because of competition and urge by chips maker and phone manufacturers to out do each other at every category.

What is painful is that this is not supposed to be subject of discussion in a sane society, u dont needs to be tech geek to know this simple logic and it is there all over the internet. As long as u are educated and above 18 and less than 45 years, u have no excuse not to know it. However we have a bad culture of not learning simple things that we use everyday.

What you have typed is the exact reason why people should be literate in these matters. By convention an SD675 should not be as powerful as either the SD821 or even the SD835, but this is not so. I can just imagine someone ignorantly going for the old SD801, SD810, SD821, or the fairly recent SD835 in lieu of the more powerful, deceptively labeled SD675. Information is indeed power.

Very true sir.. Its why the objective is to push potential smartphone buyers towards the chipset research and inquisition path. Being ignorant as regards to this is no longer an acceptable commodity, there are known assailant waiting to pounce on that weakness for personal gains and a lot of enlightened people in the tech universe won't have that.

I like deca-core chips shall.. The more the merrier... Sad the technology to archive that is not available on a large scale production for midrange and highend chipsets yet.
I trust mediatek to try again, they tried it once, they will spring it up again for the midrange department.

I don't think there are apps that will benefit from deca-core SoCs right now. Apart from the attendant high power draw which has been pointed out, it will just be used for pointless marketing.

The processor or SoC (System on a chip) of a Smartphone can be thought of as the brain of that smartphone.

This processor contains several things. The most important of which are CPUs.

A CPU or Central Processing Unit is responsible for carrying out the tasks and managing the functions of your Smartphone computer.

Your Processor in your Smartphone may contain several CPUs.

Each of this CPUs inside the SoC are referred to as a CORE.

.............................................

Cheers.

Nice article, the only thing to note is that the cortex A57 CPU is actually a high performance core and not a power efficient core. The cortex A57 is the predecessor of the cortex A72. Popular SoCs that made use of the cortex A57 cores are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, and the Nvidia Tegra X1. Also, another power efficient cortex core still in use today is the cortex A35.

You don't install the games, you just point the emulator to the game's location, then the emulator can run it. What format is the game in? Is it a BIN, CUE, CCD, IMG or ISO file?

Supported file formats - Image 1 & Image 2
Make sure there is a bios file (SCPH1001.bin) in the bios folder. You can search for the file on google if you don't have it - Image 3
