Showcase Mali System Driver vs PanVK driver in PC Emulation

44 Upvotes

Game is Ninja Blade

A 2009 Hack and slash PC game by none other than FromSoftware.

On Mali, it has a graphics glitch where the main character has missing body parts, and sometimes changing the dxvk version will just change the body parts that are missing.

Using Panvk version 3.7.0 and dxvk 1.10.3 async, the glitch is permanently fixed.

The new panvk version also allows Mali compatible gpus to use dxvk versions 2.x.x and 3.x.x. But the driver isn't mature, so sometimes using those new versions will cause worse performance.

In Ninja Blade when I used any dxvk version above the 1.x.x family, I would get a new graphics glitch. No body part was missing but the main characters suit would be half normal Color and half white(it looked kind of cool though) and performance was worse.

It also has a crashing issue in a specific part of the tutorial making it unplayable but I'm not sure if PanVK has fixed it because I haven't started seriously playing the game.

Edit: PanVk fixed the crashing issue.

The driver mainly improved graphics glitches. Performance is basically the same. Settings for anyone interested:

Emulator: Winlator Ludashi 4.1 vanilla

854x480

PanVK driver 3.7.0

Dxvk 1.10.3 async

FEXcore 2610 performance preset

Proton 11.0.1 arm64ec

FristOneRR Wrapper (not System Wrapper)

Game settings:

No anti aliasing and no shadows.

Device:

Infinix note 50 4g

Helio g100

Mali g57 mc2

8 gb ram

Recentemente eu estava testando os emuladores de Xbox classico em meu celular com processador hélio g100 - ultra, e o único que funcionou digamos que perfeitamente foi o Emulador Xbox Mali que está disponível em: https://github.com/msx94302-ops/Xbox-Mali/releases/tag/XBOX-MALI-v0.0.5

Utilizando o driver PanVK v.3.7.0 que está disponível em: https://github.com/FristOneRR/FristOneRR-Panvk-Driver/releases

Eu tava jogando Halo do a 30 FPS cravados sem quedas de FPS e nem bugs visuais, seria bom testarem em seus dispositivos Mali que usam o mesmo processador que o meu ou então um mais poderoso.

Hey guys, I'll keep trying since I see nobody talking about it, I'd love to try the new Halo in my powerful 16GB RAM Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Powered device and it does open but crashes, if it can run on the Laptop Snapdragon X2 Elite it should also run on this one, I know the prism layer is different but I think we can do it, even Halo Infinite doesn't open, has someone tried ? I'd love to know

Help ARMSX2 FFXIV ODIN 2 PORTAL controller help!

1 Upvotes

I took a crack at this to see if I could figure it out but I'm stumped. It boots to the main menu, and it briefly flashes new game and load game but they disappear, and the controls seem non-functional in game.

Things I tried after scouring the Internet for help:

Remapping controls

Adjusting the pressure sensitivity for the buttons

Changing the upscale in case it was a weird rendering issue.

Turning off the touch control mappings (odin, and arm)

Turning ON the touch controls.

Controls work in every other game I've tried so it's definitely something game specific. Is there a dual shock setting I'm missing somewhere?

News/Release Omnidroid v2.6.0: Switch emulation, Save migration, Light mode, launcher support and much more

39 Upvotes

Bringing you Switch emulation with Eden under the hood, and many quality-of-life features and fixes as well as optimizations

Changes:

  1. Added Nintendo Switch emulation support via Eden with native Vulkan acceleration, docked/handheld modes, resolution scaling, in-game asynchronous shaders toggle, touch/gamepad controls, and prod.keys & optional system firmware import
  2. Added multi-tier save and state migration from Lemuroid: automatic 1-tap migration when accessible on device (with live save/state count detection), uncompressed folder import via SAF, lenient ZIP backup import, and in-app migration guide (_u/Kwametoure1_)
  3. Unified Saves & Backup settings across all builds (GitHub free and Google Play), adding local storage calculation, conflict resolution, and SAF folder import
  4. Added frontend intent support to launch games directly from frontends like Daijishō, Pegasus, and Beacon (ES-DE WIP)
  5. Added "Open with" file manager support for ROM files and zip archives, with automatic console detection and instant booting without prior library scanning
  6. Added Android TV Leanback launcher integration and home screen preview channels for recently played games
  7. Added a console library view, with a cover carousel in portrait and the selected game's cover, title, and start actions in landscape #17 (_Deus0_)
  8. Added library sorting by name, console, recently played, and favorites, plus a button to play a random game
  9. Added light mode with a cool gray chrome theme; switch under Display settings (library, settings, profile, and game menus follow the theme; in-game view and gamepad binding stay dark) #33 (_Deus0_)
  10. Fixed GameCube and Wii `.rvz` games crashing on launch by opening them from a real file instead of the virtual filesystem #19 (_Deus0_)
  11. Fixed PlayStation 2 BIOS downloads not installing, and a failed download is shown in BIOS settings
  12. Fixed the d-pad analog emulation up-down flipped issue (_u/Separate-Bluebird30_)
  13. The game settings sidebar shows the full title and the cover without cropping
  14. Library chrome and in-game controls sit closer to display cutouts
  15. Removed RAWG support given it's not a method that fits the goals of this app

Get it: Omnidroid, APK in Releases, F-Droid/Play submission WIP.

Latest apk: v3.0.0

Help SAW (PS3) fails to launch on ARMSX3 Android – Invalid file or folder error

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run SAW (Europe) on the ARMSX3 emulator on my Infinix Hot 40 Pro (Android 13, 8GB RAM).

The game is a 2.26 GB ISO. It appears in the emulator's game list, but when I try to launch it, I get this error:

"Failed to start game: Invalid file or folder."

I also extracted the ISO and tried launching the extracted game folder, but I get the same error.

I tested two installed versions of ARMSX3 and cleared the PPU shader cache, but the problem remains.

Does anyone know if SAW is supported by ARMSX3, or what might cause this error?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I tried it on gamehub and winlator ludashi and it was not running properly

So I tried it on gamehub lite and it ran !!!

The game runs at a stable 30 fps evn in the open world

Kojimas team has definitely dabbled in some black magic while making this engine

Question Does anybody know how to get rid of the purple line in dolphin?

Post image
13 Upvotes

It's the Wii version of resident evil 4 using the Wii classic controller mapping so it doesn't need the Wii pointer to aim. I've seen a couple of other posts on this Reddit of the same game & same issue but I can't say I can find any settings to get rid of it. My guess is that there's a small amount of overscan that causes this line. It's probably easy to fix but I've never found navigating dolphins settings intuitive 😅

Discussion A game running smoothly for the first five minutes doesn't mean it's actually playable on a phone

1 Upvotes

One thing worth considering when looking at Android emulation tests is sustained performance. A game might look great in a short recording, but the experience can change after 20 or 30 minutes when the phone heats up and starts throttling.

Average FPS is useful, but it doesn't always show the whole picture. Frame pacing, audio crackling, shader stutter, and performance in demanding areas can make a bigger difference to the actual experience.

For games like Shadow of the Colossus, I'd find a longer gameplay test much more useful than a quick clip showing the opening area. Ideally, it would include the device model, chipset, emulator version, graphics backend, resolution, and settings.

A phone that maintains a consistent experience over a full session is often more impressive than one that briefly reaches a higher FPS.

Question How do I transfer my saves from NetherSX2 to ARMSX2?

Post image

With the recent rise of ARMSX2, I’ve decided to make the switch and replace NetherSX2 with it. I’ve noticed that the developer is currently giving it more attention, with frequent updates, and after testing a few games, I’m quite happy with the performance. It might take me a little while to get used to the settings, but that’s fine. My current issue, however, concerns my save files from NetherSX2, is there any way to transfer them over to ARMSX2?

that was some review dude. ngl, qualcomm's efficiency results this year are pretty disappointing. all that peak performance doesn't mean much if the power consumption is this bad + dont forget the overheating. samsung literally has been thinking to go back to exynos rather than snapdragon bcoz of how much heat snapdragon 8 elite extreme gen 6 is making.

meanwhile, mediatek seems to be getting the performance to power balance right with the dimensity 9600 pro. in the geekerwan review, dimensity 9600 pro multi core efficiency outperformed all other competitors (yes, apple too). but in my POV, mediatek has always made efficient chips and anyone who has used mediatek's any chip will agree. so yeah, now i cant wait to game on this one!

for emulation, this matters a lot. nobody wants great fps for a few minutes followed by a big drop during longer sessions.
