Before I go any further i have to admit that I'm new to retro handhelds and Gamenative.

2 weeks ago I recieved my Retroid Pocket 6 and followed the Retro Game Corps. setup guide on YouTube. I installed Gamenative, connected to my Steam account and tried playing Legacy of Kain Defiance. After installing, I chose "best known config" and launched the game. I recieved an error message asking me to insert game disc. After another attempt to launch the game i recieved an error telling me that the path to the .exe could not be found. After viewing Techdweebs YT video on Gamenative, I opened the container and tried to manually launch the .exe and, again, recieved an error message telling me to insert the game disc. This is just what I faced with Legacy of Kain Defiance.

I tried other games and I couldn't get one single game to launch. I tried Albion through Gamenative which isn't even necessary because it just runs on Android by itself. Nothing. I've watched review after review after review praising Gamenative and how, "its just that simple." Its been anything but which makes me wonder? Am I just overlooking something simple? Did I miss a step somewhere along the way?

All I see and hear is how Gamenative works so well on Android. I tried with Game Hub and I had the same error message asking me to insert game disc for Legacy of Kain.

My frustration is through the roof and I haven't found any answer to what I'm doing wrong or how to remedy my situation. Especially considering that if my issue is just simple user error or whatever? Why, among the countless YT videos I've watched about Gamenative, not one addresses these issues?

I could really use some help here. Please and thank you.

Hello,

First of all english is not my native language,

Everything is in the title, I want to know where do you learn how to optimize your game ? I mean, I use gamenative website to see if my games are on it then use their config but sometimes it doesn't work and I don't want to bother this reddit everytime I want to play a game so I need all tips pls

If there is a fix I’m open for insight, otherwise this is insane.

Hi everyone! Today i recived my Ayn Thor Pro.

I’m having a really annoying issue with GameNative on my AYN Thor.

Every game I launch through GameNative has a tiny system mouse cursor visible in the top-left corner of the screen.

The strange part is that this is not the actual in-game cursor. When I touch/move my finger on the top screen, the cursor starts behaving normally as the game cursor and then disappears. So I basically have to touch the screen every time I launch a game to get rid of the cursor.

It happens with every game I’ve tried, so it doesn't seem to be game-specific.

My setup

• AYN Thor
• GameNative 1.2.0
• Proton 10.0 arm64ec-2
• Using Cocoon as the launcher
• Game is displayed on the top screen
• AYN Thor Virtual Mouse is disabled

Things I've already tried

GameNative → Controller/Gamepad:

• Screen Mapping is disabled
• There is no "Disable Mouse Input" option available in my in-game menu
• My menu only contains:
  • Key Adapter
  • Guide
  • Key Test
  • Profiles
  • Screen Mapping
  • Screenshot
  • Speed Up
  • Gamepad
  • Follow Global
  • AFK
  • Live
  • Alerts
  • Record

Under Gamepad I only have:

• Handle Style
• L2/R2 Mode

Controller/Input settings:

• Use SDL API
• Use Steam Input
• Enable XInput API
• Enable DirectInput API
• DirectInput Mapper Type
• Show Controller Debug Menu
• External Display Input
• Show Game on External Display

For External Display Input, I currently have:

The other available options are:

• Use as touchpad surface
• Use as full keyboard
• Hybrid

I've also checked the Wine settings, including Mouse Warp Override. Changing Mouse Warp Override from Disable to Enable did not fix the problem.

I also tried disabling the AYN Thor Virtual Mouse feature. It is definitely disabled.

I am already using Proton 10.0 arm64ec-2, so the workaround I've seen where people switched from Proton 9.0arm to Proton 10.0arm doesn't apply to my setup.

What makes this especially strange

The cursor always starts in the top-left corner.

If I touch the top screen and move the cursor, it immediately starts behaving like the normal game cursor and then disappears.

So it feels like GameNative/Wine isn't properly taking over or hiding the Android/system pointer until the first touch/mouse event occurs.

I've found a couple of other AYN Thor users reporting what sounds like exactly the same issue, including the cursor appearing in the top-left and disappearing after moving it with the touchscreen.

Has anyone found a permanent fix or workaround for this on the AYN Thor?

I'm especially interested in whether there is some hidden GameNative setting/configuration that forces the mouse cursor to be disabled or hidden at launch.

I tried to fix it somehow with ChatGPT and Gemini, but... nothing works :C

I’m using game native. I tried tinkering with the settings but haven’t had success with the main game. Any suggestions? Is it possible to run it?

Hi, I'm trying to get stardew valley to work on my retroid pocket 4 pro.

I found a post elsewhere that said to set up an icu, which I've followed and set to windows native.

Aside from that I'm pretty stumped on what else I can do to get it working? It loads to a blank black screen and won't go further, which I've seen in a common problem but I'm just baffled with what else to do.

I'm on android 13 at the minute.

Location is data/user/0/app.gamenative/steam/steamapps/common/stardewvalley

Execution path is stardew valley.exe

Container variant bionic

Wine version is 10.0 arm64ec 2 but I've tried 9.0 as well which was suggested a lot.

Is there anything else I can try?

Has anyone been able to get the splinter cell games running through game native?

I got to the point where the game launches through steam and opens up ubishit launcher, launches the game but then goes to black.. I'll keep on trying but don't know if it'll be possible. Although I did see people run assassins creed through GN

So if anyone has had some luck, please do spill the secrets please!

I like sonic mania, but man it is just REALLY hard to play it like this.
