Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean for the Nintendo GameCube emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Dolphin 5.0 emulator (dev build 20122).

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. It seems to run a lot of GameCube and Wii games pretty well at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

For GameCube games, I am using a real GameCube controller connected to my phone via an OEM Wii U GameCube controller adapter (I use a USB hub that connects to the phone via a USB C to A adapter... the adapter the phone comes with works fine).

For Wii games, I use a real Wii remote / nunchuck connected to my phone via a Mayflash DolphinBar (requires a USB C to A adapter... the one the phone comes with works fine).

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM

- October 13, 2022 street release date
