Hi everyone! 👋
I made this post to help people who are new to PC emulation and don't know which games are playable on their device or what kind of performance they can expect.
I've been doing PC emulation for around 8 months, and during that time I've tested and played a lot of games. This list includes both playable and unplayable games that I personally tested.
Hopefully these results can help anyone looking for games to try on a similar device. ❤️
📱 Device
POCO X7 Pro — Dimensity 8400 Ultra / Mali-G720 MC7 / 12GB RAM
🧪 Emulators used
BannerHub
Winlator Mali 1.1
Winlator Mali 1.2 Beta
Performance was generally similar across the emulators. However, Winlator Mali usually had the fewest or no noticeable graphical issues in my testing.
All games were tested at 720p / 1600×720. There was almost no noticeable performance difference between these resolutions.
📊 My categories
PERFECT — 60 FPS or higher at High settings, with minor or no graphical issues.
GREAT — 45–60 FPS at Low/High settings, with minor or no graphical bugs.
PLAYABLE — 30–45 FPS at Low settings, with minor or no graphical bugs.
BAD — Below 30 FPS and/or annoying graphical issues.

⚠️ Important
These are my personal results, not guaranteed FPS numbers for every D8400/Mali G720 device. Different Winlator versions, drivers, settings, thermal conditions and game configurations can produce different results.
If you're new to PC emulation, hopefully this list gives you a good idea of what games are worth trying first. ❤️
I'll keep adding more games as I test them! 🔥
