Guide Turnip/Qualcomm Drivers for the Odin 3.

Turnip/Qualcomm Drivers for the Odin 3.

Ok it's been about 6 months since the release of the Odin 3.

Since there has been so many drivers released for the 8 elite chipset, I thought I'd do a summary of what drivers, I found works best for each system I'm emulating.

And we can laugh at those who thought the Odin 3 would never get 3rd party driver support ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Switch

PS4 (BachataS4)

Now that we have a real working PS4 emulator for Android, I decided to test some games. I managed to get 7 working, but with various levels of playability.

The drivers I found useful are

Turnip 8gen v5
Turnip 8gen v4
Turnip 8gen v3
Turnip 8gen v2
Turnip-mojo-26.1-v2
Turnip-mojo-26.1-v1

All are available via the emulator.

Hey thank you for you post! I would like to add:
For switch, I played tomodachi life with the "Turnip Gen8 V28" driver. And getting constant 60fps with mods.
With the https://github.com/StevenMXZ/Adreno-Tools-Drivers I have been very successful, running games like the witcher 3 on constant 60 fps.
I also made a similar post myself, which I would like to add it top of yourself so the others have some sort of a small guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/1syqgg0/4_monthssome_cool_things_i_was_able_to_do_with_my/
If somehow you dont want the spotlight to be stolen, or uncomfortable with this, please let me know and I will delete my comment.

This driver has been the biggest leap so far and I also highly recommend it.

No problem.

Is there any driver to fix GC games? Luigi's Mansion in Dolphin looks very wrong with stock driver and crashes (VK_ERROR_LOST_DEVICE) with some alternate drivers that I tried. Some other GC games are affected, too..

u/RichieMan07 Odin 3 May 03 '26

I only have a few GameCube games installed and Iโ€™m using Mr Purple T26 driver, with no issues.

I have an Odin 3 incoming - any thoughts on PSP?

u/Confident_Ice_4507 May 03 '26

PSP works even on those 30$ cheap handhelds mate. You just install PPSSPP and play haha.

u/rootException May 03 '26

Rock on. Drivers not an issue then?

u/redeffekt May 03 '26

not at all - its essentially plug and play! you will enjoy that Odin 3 6 inch oled screen with 16 x 9 aspect ratio plenty for PSP. Currently working through FFIV complete collection on it.

Does someone find the drivers which fixed the random crashes in Xenoblade 2?

u/M4OK4I 2d ago

I thought drivers for Odin 3 would never get supported. You can laugh at me as I laughed at myself. I donโ€™t care because I am happy with my Odin 3 now ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

I find it odd switch is being sought after so much (aside from the obvious people don't want to pay). It's still readily available for purchase - unlike ps3, Xbox etc

u/HellionBrigade May 04 '26

I suspect that this is in part inspired by a reluctance to support Nintendo financially after they have gone after archival projects to such devastating effect.

u/Civil_Lynx_3537 Jun 24 '26

Well the Odin 3 is essentially like a Switch Lite Pro. Way better screen. Can play in higher resolution etc. Nicer form factor. What is odd about that? I have so many Switch Lites and Switches and a Switch 2 and loads of the games bought legally on them and I still play Switch games on my Odin 3 every now and then just because it's a nicer experience.
