It\u2019s also powerful enough that you can use it to play GameCube games. If you just got a Galaxy S8, or if you\u2019re a fan of smartphone gaming, use Game Booster to improve your gaming performance on your Android:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/game_booster\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10103\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/make-games-run-faster-300x57.jpg\" alt=\"make-games-run-faster\" width=\"300\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/make-games-run-faster-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/make-games-run-faster.jpg 419w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Samsung Galaxy S8<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is an impressive device,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smartphone gaming can always be further improved. Game Booster will boost your phone by freeing up RAM so that you can play games even faster. To experience your Android\u2019s gaming phone mode, you\u2019ll need to launch all of your games through the Game Booster feature. But this is a small effort to make to experience boosted gameplay on your Android \u2014 especially if your phone is tasked to play old GameCube games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/mmo-games-trending-world-esports\/\"><b>MMO Games Are Trending in the World of eSports<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>A Powerful Android for Gaming<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Samsung Galaxy S8\u2019s ability to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/2017\/04\/video-dolphin-runs-gamecube-games-smoothly-galaxy-s8.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">play GameCube games<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was initially revealed by a YouTube user. The YouTube user was able to use the Android Dolphin emulator \u2014 which can run GameCube and Wii games on Android \u2014 to play various GameCube games. While this is usually a difficult function for a smartphone to perform, the Galaxy S8 is able to recreate the experience rather smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the best GameCube games of all time include: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mario Kart: Double Dash<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Mario Sunshine<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Smash Bros.

The YouTube user tested out all of these games except for Mario Kart, and found them all to perform very well on the Galaxy S8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Galaxy S8 is the first Samsung smartphone that has been able to play games from gaming consoles rather seamlessly. It has a much more powerful processor than previous versions. Many Galaxy S7 users, for example, could not emulate various video games without also experiencing lagging and other issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Future of Gaming on Smartphones<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As smartphones further improve, we\u2019re likely to see more classic video games resurfacing, and even smoother gameplay.
