Android/iOS games on L5

:blush::wave: Community!! My nephew love to play Granny game. I installed it on my L5 Waydroid but it doesn’t work! I suppose it’s too hard to have games full compatibility with Android/iOS. Is there a way to workaround it?
Maybe finding and playing it online?
No chance to have “cool” 3d First Person Shooter on L5? This, by the way, would bring a whole new target audience closer to the L5!
Thank you :smiley::coffee:

The Librem 5 has a very, very weak GPU. So the best that would work in general in 3D-space are games like Tux-Kart, Bunny Semiconductor or Mycelerate. Anything that requires better graphic units will not work or is lagging as hell.

First you have to look if a game supports OpenGL ES 2. The current driver does not support version 3 and hardware does not support version 4. That means newer Andoird/iOS games will not work.

These are hard facts. I don’t use Waydroid, so I don’t know how to setup things there. But if you want to try out games, always keep requirements from above in mind.
