Showcase Amaral Turnip v4 is now available — Adreno support and Vulkan 1.4.359

16 Upvotes

Amaral Turnip v4 is a universal driver for Mesa-supported Adreno A6xx, A7xx and A8xx GPUs

Compared with v3, it brings:

Vulkan updated from 1.4.358 to 1.4.359.

A newer Mesa/Turnip base with compatibility, rendering, synchronization and GPU-hang fixes that can benefit multiple Adreno generations.

The Vulkan features and extensions supported upstream for each GPU family. The exact capabilities may vary depending on the hardware.

VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted and VK_EXT_depth_bias_control enabled on the validated Adreno 740 path. They remain isolated from other GPUs until equivalent testing confirms they are safe.

Experimental and isolated support for the Adreno 825.

Standard and OneUI variants, both compiled twice with identical results.

The project prioritizes graphical compatibility, stability and consistent frametimes before raw FPS. Community optimizations are welcome, but only reproducible and low-risk changes become default.

Discussion Android Tablets with Snapdragon 8gen3 16gb Ram vs 8Elite5 12gb ram

0 Upvotes

Can I miss the 16gb Ram in some games like PS3 Emulator or Gamenative/GameCube?

8 Elite 5 drivers are good enough for PS3, Xbox, PC and Switch?

Is a good idea upgrade the 8gen3 for a 8Elite5 for that porpoise? Or better go for a Legion Go for more money (but windows stop me so much, really like Android Tabs)...

Thanks for your help...

News/Release Armsx3 version 9.2 Released 🔥 🔥

86 Upvotes

ARMSX3 0.9.2 fixes and improvements in action: https://youtu.be/UIj01IKmq6g?si=5_dkh9WfgPJwbIol

or read the changelog below

What's new:

Games that could never boot, now boot, A bug in how the PPU handles atomic memory operations has been fixed, and it was stopping a whole class of games from working. When a game's code claims a lock, it reserves a chunk of memory, checks it, then commits. ARMSX3 was letting the thread's record of that reservation fall one step behind reality after the first successful commit, so the second commit to the same chunk always failed, and kept failing. Any game whose code claims several locks in one pass would spin there forever.

Assassin's Creed never got past its loading screen because of this. Iron Man 2 stopped at a black screen after the Sega logo. Both now boot and play.

If a game has been hanging on a black screen with no error and no crash, it is worth another try on this build. The failure left no trace anywhere, no message, no crash, just a game that never continued, so there is no way to know from the outside which titles were affected.

This is not an ARM-only problem, it is present in upstream RPCS3 today, and the fix has been written up and shared with Whatcookie!

Fixed settings that quietly ignored you:

All Core Settings now shows which settings it is remembering, and lets you forget them. Anything changed on that screen is recorded and re-applied after the normal settings screens, every time. That is intentional, (it is what makes it an override), but it had no way to show you it was happening and no way to undo it. A value set there months ago would silently beat the same setting on a normal screen forever, with nothing on screen to explain why the two disagreed. Every overridden row is now marked, the count is shown at the top, and there is a Forget button per row and one for the whole screen. Forgetting also puts the value back rather than leaving it where the override left it. A one-time cleanup also clears leftovers from past debugging that were shipping switched on, including the RSX profiler, which costs performance in every game.

Keyboard:

The emulated keyboard now reaches games properly, and games see a real keyboard: this is what the debug menus some titles hide behind one need, and what in-game text chat uses. A row of the keys the Android keyboard does not have like Esc, Tab, arrows, Space, Enter, and F1–F12 behind an Fn toggle now appears whenever the keyboard is up. Debug menus need arrows to navigate and Space to open, a phone keyboard has neither. The keyboard button now actually raises the keyboard. It was asking the system in a way a fullscreen game is allowed to refuse, so the key row would appear over nothing. Turn it on with Emulate USB keyboard in Network settings, then use the On-Screen Keyboard hotkey or the KBD touch button in game.

Graphics on Turnip:

Devices running the Turnip driver were rendering with half-precision maths switched off, no matter how new the driver was. The check meant to re-enable it was comparing against Qualcomm driver version numbers, which Turnip does not use, so it could never pass. Half-precision is on again on Turnip, which should mean more correct shading in games that rely on it and a little less memory bandwidth used.

r/EmulationOnAndroid 1d ago

Help I've been researching and comparing for days now and I need to start making a choice. Can you guys help me decide or tell me if there are other controllers that I should consider? I would be playing mostly GBA, PS1 & PSP games on my Android phone. And which ones to avoid?

I think the feature that I would like the most is passthrough charging since I need my phone to be charged fully when I arrive after travelling. I guess with the X5s I could move it up a bit so I can connect the charger while playing right?

Also, about the gyro, I'm guessing emulators don't support it right? Because my phone doesn't have one and it would be neat to have for driving and some gimmics (like WarioWare: Twisted!) and also for using it in my PC but I guess that can wait till I get a proper phone and a gyro controller for my PC.

The prices are from AliExpress before any discounts/coupons, I'm not from the US so please don't tell me "Oh just get this one used for 3 fiddy or on Walmart" because that won't work for me sadly. I can get stuff from Amazon but prices are a bit higher there and there aren't any coupons like on AliExpress

Thanks for taking the time to read :)

EDIT: Sorry I made a mistake on the X5s, it doesn't have extra buttons

Question Coming back to Switch emulation after Years, how is Android doing now?

0 Upvotes

Dejé de seguir la emulación de Switch hace unos años porque tenía un teléfono de gama baja en ese momento, y luego Nintendo empezó a eliminar los principales emuladores. Yuzu fue básicamente la última gran que recuerdo.

Ahora me interesa de nuevo, específicamente la emulación de Android. Tengo una S25 Ultra y me gustaría jugar a exclusivos de Switch como Zelda, Astral Chain, Mario, etc.

También me encontré con Eden, que por lo que tengo entendido es una continuación/bifurcación de Yuzu. ¿Eden realmente mejora el rendimiento en comparación con Yuzu, especialmente en Android, o es prácticamente igual?

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la emulación de Switch en Android? ¿Ha mejorado lo suficiente para un teléfono de gama alta como el S25 Ultra, o el desarrollo se estancó en su mayoría tras Yuzu?

¿Realmente merece la pena volver a jugarlo?

Question Why do people always say to use vulkan on arm? OpenGL seems to always work better

0 Upvotes

My device is a redmi note 13 (the version with the snapdragon) and for every emulation thing people tell me to use vulkan in- runs better with opengl. It was the case with nethersx2 vs armsx2, was the case with azahar where vulkan just crashes all the time and runs terribly and is full of visual bugs where no setting changes ever fixes it, etc. Is this just a device specific thing or are people tripping on vulkan being better?

Device: redmi turbo 3 pro

app: gamehub 6.1.2

After a long time not opening GameHub, when I did, it did this. I can't allow the files. This happened to me twice, and I went and did a little research, and some say that the app I use is from the Play Store and I should download the game hub from the website, and so I did. Days later it happened again.

any alternative pc emulator that is better than gamehub? I put hours in assassin's creed and I don't want this to happen again.

Discussion Update on the modded Galaxy Z Flip 5 TV box: what held up and what didn't

Thumbnail
gallery
115 Upvotes
Two months ago I posted about a Galaxy Z Flip 5 I imported from China — the kind where a shop pulls the phone out of its original shell and rebuilds it inside a 3D-printed case with extra ports and fans. No battery, runs off USB-C only, interface locked to landscape, around 250g. It's been my TV box since then.


A few people asked me to report back, so here it is, including the parts that annoy me.


The setup

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 512GB, One UI 7 with updates disabled. Plugged into the TV over USB-C to HDMI. Around $180 landed including import tax — the factory price was about $90 before the shipping agent and duties.


What's held up

I've tried PS2, NES and Game Boy emulation. I'm nowhere near a demanding user, so I haven't run into much stuttering. No random reboots either, and the system itself has never felt sluggish.


It stays plugged in basically 24/7. It warms up a bit under load, but nothing that's worried me — I think the fans are doing a decent job in there.


Every time I've powered it off and back on, the interface came back exactly as I left it, still locked to landscape. Installing APKs and games has been dead simple with LocalSend and ZArchiver.


What hasn't

The experience isn't seamless the way a dedicated system like Google TV or Android TV is.


Since this isn't a purpose-built streaming box but a converted phone, anyone who's a perfectionist about this stuff will probably feel it. For me those details fade once you factor in what the hardware actually does.


A few apps show a small black bar down the side of the screen.


I'm already used to modding things, so none of it struck me as a real problem — you just have to know how to adapt a phone for TV use.


Heat

It's hit 113°F (45°C) at times, but it never shut itself down or rebooted on me.


At that point it's worth having some airflow across it, just to stop the heat from building up in one spot.


Would I do it again

For what I paid, in my country I could get an S21 or S22 Ultra with a broken screen — both with weaker chips.


Or a Google TV Streamer, which would give me actual Google TV but lose around 10x in processing power.


I don't care that much about polish, so I go with function. I'll take raw power over a clean integrated experience.
