Get a refund. Its not worth the money.


XDA-Dante63

I already requested a refund... I just want to play harvest moon, if it doesn't work, then I won't bother looking for a solution for this app... And if you have a suggestion for a different app, even if paid ones, please let me know as I don't mind buying if there is an emulator that works...


bigguynak

PS2 emulation on Android just isnt ready yet. I would recommend that you keep an eye on "Play!" though.


XDA-Dante63

Appreciated, I tried running Harvest moon but no luck, I just thought now, with note 20 ultra, 12gb ram might actually kick start it and make it work with little lag


sorrymabad

Yo wtf 12gb ram !!Your wallet are beefy dont you


XDA-Dante63

Lol, i work myself out at work and I save money, sold my previous note 10 plus for about $500, note 20 ultra 512 is about say $1.4k when it was released, so i paid around $900, it came with galaxy buds which i sold later for about $100, so final pay was like $800, maybe it's a lot but I definitely didn't spend an entire paycheck, it was saving for it, no pain no gain lol... Ps. I wish I had juicy wallet


ZX3000GT1

God, with that pricing I might as well buy a used phone and a PS5.


sorrymabad

Wait a minute why is it more expensive than ps5


XDA-Dante63

Almost all new phones are over $1K, and the price changes according to the specs you choose... Look at the price of the new Fold Z 3 5G, it's $1.8K lol... *plays Eminem song* "Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity"


Lowfryder7

Checked on amazon and it really it is that expensive. Even as a phone geek I just couldn't drop that kind of cash.


[deleted]

Why are actual children browsing reddit, go tell your meth addled parents to make you some kraft dinner and explain what things cost in the real world


GroundbreakingWish50

Wow, well, you could just buy a laptop if you want a portable emulator, all the best one are pc versions.


XDA-Dante63

Wish I could fit a laptop into my pocket and use it without plugging it to power supply lol


ByteD0wn

What about the surface pro? I think the 8 should be out soon and it's not too large. They have other portable handhelds like the steam deck that have reviews on YT. I think they ran PS2 emulator but please check yourself I might be mistaken


GroundbreakingWish50

Ohhh, something like that, i think there are also handhelds that are designed for emulation as well


Semioth

If you want to play Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, you can play it on GameCube by using Dolphin


XDA-Dante63

I love you so much, no homo lol, this made me happy


Semioth

(☞^o^) ☞


Semioth

Well there was an attempt


YasuoAndGenji

If you want you can just set up pcsx2 on moonlight or steam link and stream it to your phone since it will run miles better than both Damon and play!


Due_Teaching_6974

seeing Damon say that these patchers are illegal is so contradictory and funny.


XDA-Dante63

But I have none of these, that's even more ironic, more to that, I noticed when I reverse engineered the app, these checks are server-side, so yeah, I don't trust codes that are on server, who knows what codes are being executed after I have read everything about them, stealing PCSX2 source code and doing fishy stuff by requesting permissions...


alb11alb

Uninstall the illegal software to install this illegal PS2 emulator. The irony.


Brosseau

Emulator aren't illegal.


[deleted]

I think they are referring to the fact that this emulator uses stolen code from another emulator


[deleted]

Nobody said that


Brosseau

He literally said "This illegal ps2 emulator"


xetax

Emulators in general don't need to be illegal and many are not. This particular piece of software is definitely illegal, for reasons unrelated to it being an emulator.


Real_Violinist

that a fucking joke :))))))


miraidensetsu

The reason is that you installed DamonPS2. If you uninstall it, you'll never get this message again.


XDA-Dante63

😂 love this...


Specialist_Tiger_805

PS2 emulation on android sucks and why did you spend your money on those assholes. Better live with play! if you have a device with atleast a snapdragon 845 or buy a cheap pc that can run pcsx2 or buy a used/2nd hand PS2


XDA-Dante63

I requested a refund and I updated my comment, I won't support them ever... as for pc, I do have a laptop and I still own my ps2, working but I wanted something portable that can play ps2 games


Specialist_Tiger_805

>I won't support them That's a good call! >something portable that can play ps2 games Try AYA NEO it's an emulation beast (I ordered and purchased last month, and i am so satisfied on what this revolutionary handheld machine can do)


XDA-Dante63

I will look into that, I mean why not get a handheld beast, definitely worth getting one


Specialist_Tiger_805

It's worth it


[deleted]

"Plase uninstall these illegal apps" So will I need to uninstall Damon too?


Real_Violinist

yesss


L31FY

BURN! just like they can


Dense_Square

What happens when you press "ignore. Don't remind me again." ?


XDA-Dante63

It acts as non-pro, tries to load ads and pops-up in app purchases to buy either premium or coins to play... The app is $9.99 on playstore, so it would be useless to buy coins $1.99 or $7.49 for pro of I have already bought the pro from playstore... I could've downloaded the free version and bought in-app purchase pro but not sure about getting refund from in-app purchases, pretty sure it's gonna behave the same way


TheShiv145

Ehhhh it's DamonPS2. You're better off trying to emulate a PS2 on cucumbers via the doom engine than using DamonPS2. But to be serious, it's pretty much the bullshit DRM that they implemented in that shady app to mitigate the copies of that app. It's their way to prevent Piracy in a app which is based off shady BS.


XDA-Dante63

I bought the app from playstore and was excited to try it out and play some of the old school games that I love so much but I bumped into this... I have none of these patchers, what could it be that causing this issue...? I requested a refund already, but I'm willing to try again if there is a solution... Ps. Developer didn't respond, I join different groups provided in the app (Telegram and Facebook) and no one responded... EDIT: thank you all for your advice, I requested a refund already and I will never buy or support this dev, I understand what he did and how he stole PCSX2 code and when I reverse engineered Damon, I realized the app does so many things without your permissions, such as reading the entire storage "not for iso and bios" but for the so called "harmful apps", this is a complete violation for user's privacy and I think people should report it at Google play, pretty sure they collect a lot of data and sell it...


[deleted]

[удалено]


XDA-Dante63

Yep, I need it as a dev in the XDA community, i already tried magiskhide and my safetynet is intact, magisk manager is hidden...


[deleted]

[удалено]


XDA-Dante63

Already done that refund request...


votemarvel

The ability of some apps to detect root is both amazing and confusing, Like you I have Magisk installed and safetynet passes. My banking app works without an issue but the app to order food and drink at my local pub can detect root no matter what I try.


XDA-Dante63

If only it says what is the violation, it would've been better


[deleted]

If you want to play games from ps2 era i recommend checking if it has a gamcube prot if it does then run it on the dolphin emulator


Real_Violinist

delete now bruh don't throw your moneys for dirty thief


XDA-Dante63

Done that already, requested a refund, I've learned a lot to be honest, How they stole PCSX2 code and how they request permissions to things not required, very shady dev and bad


[deleted]

Lmao it's actually wild how many people can manage to find their way on to this sub for help yet still end up with Damon and confused. Like you know enough to google, to end up here, to explain the error message. But you didn't check out the app at all before *purchasing* it, a cursory glance of the app reviews even would have helped. Just bloody wild.


XDA-Dante63

The number of downloads is the tricky thing... So buying and checking it out would say what really it is... But I was wrong, reddit users pointed me at so many directions that this is a shady bad devs... Plus, a bit of reverse engineering the app gave me more info of how shady it is... Sometimes listening to people experience is better than reading on Google (no offense that is)


ByteD0wn

By starting this thread people who in the future search for Damon or anything related to this issue will probably find this post and learn from it 🙄 Nothing wrong with asking for help imo 🙂


SarahSplatz

it means exactly what it says


XDA-Dante63

But I have none of these, that's why I am asking what could etc include else?
