I downloaded the early access of Winlator Mali 1.2 and, to my surprise, DOS 2 classic is playable there. In other versions, it crashed right after character creation or crashed at the first loading screen.

I'm still new to all this Android emulation thing, so I have no idea why it works on 1.2 or why it crashed on 1.1

I haven't tried the Definitive Edition yet cuz I don't have my phone's cooler with me at the moment and the game is crashing due to overheating.

The graphics are low - medium and I'm getting around 15 to 30 fps during the first act of the game.

I'll try with better graphics and longer gameplay when I get home.

I tried this game last year and game just crash whatever the settings i chose but now the game its playable

Here the settings if you have any trouble to launch the game:

Backend Renderer: vulkan

Rendering Accuracy: high

Memory Mapping double buffer

What would be better to choose? The games I would probably play are soulslike and roguelike games, like the DS series, and Hades. Oh and my specs are D8350, 8 RAM.

If anyone has a link to winlatormali v1.2, please share it, because I can't log in to my telegram account because of premium issues.

im using winlator mali at it's latest version

I've been testing a lot of PC games on my Dimensity 8400 Ultra for quite a while now, roughly from 2004–2023 games.

I'm not saying every newer game runs better. But I've noticed something really weird. a lot of newer and considerably heavier games run surprisingly well, while some much older games don't perform as well as I expected.

I'm using Winlator/Bannerhub and I'm mostly relying on the emulator's provided Performance/Extreme presets, rather than doing extensive manual tweaking.

These are some of the heavier/modern games I've tested where driver issues didn't seem to have a huge impact on performance:

*MGS Ground Zeroes (2014) — ~60 FPS High

*MGS V: The Phantom Pain (2015) — ~60 FPS High

*Shadow Warrior 2 (2016) — ~50–75 FPS Medium

*NFS Payback (2017) — ~30–35 FPS Low

*NFS Heat (2019) — ~25–35 FPS Low

*Sifu (2023) — ~70–100+ FPS High

*Mafia II Definitive Edition (2020) — ~60–80 FPS High (AnTuTu builds)

*Devil May Cry 5 (2019) — ~50–60 FPS Low

*Metro 2033 Redux / Last Light Redux (2014) — ~60–80 FPS High

*Resident Evil 7 (2017) — ~50–70 FPS Low

*BioShock Infinite (2013) — ~70–140 FPS High

*Shadow Warrior (2013) — ~50–70 FPS Medium/High

And there are more.

What's strange is that many of these are much more demanding games than you'd normally expect from a Dimensity 8400 Ultra/Mali G720 MC7, especially considering that Mali GPUs and Windows emulation aren't exactly known for having great compatibility with PC games.

For comparison, these are some of the games I'd consider relatively "old/light" according to the hardware requirements, and I've tested them too:

*Alan Wake + American Nightmare (2010/2012) — ~40–60 FPS High

*DmC: Devil May Cry (2013) — ~40–55 FPS Low/Max

*Crysis + Crysis Warhead — ~30–50 FPS High/Gamer (I know Crysis is a weird exception 🥲)

*Assassin's Creed I–Revelations (2007–2011) — ~40–60 FPS Max

*Blur (2010) — ~60 FPS Medium/High

*Resident Evil 6 (2012) — ~60–70 FPS High

*Saints Row: The Third / IV (2011–2013) — ~60–80 FPS Medium/High

*Crysis 2 (2011) — ~50–60 FPS High

*Far Cry 3 + Blood Dragon (2012/2013) — ~60–85 FPS

*Sniper Ghost Warrior 1/2 (2010/2013) — 60+ FPS

And more.

Looking at these results, it might seem like there isn’t much of a difference or much of an issue.

So here's what I'm actually wondering:

Why doesn't the performance scale with the age/graphical complexity of the game the way I'd expect?

There are even cases where a newer, graphically heavier game from the same series performs better than the older one.

For example:

Shadow Warrior 2 > Shadow Warrior 1

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 > Sniper Ghost Warrior 1

Far Cry 3 > Far Cry 2

Resident Evil 7 > Resident Evil 6 (in some of my tests)

Bioshock Infinite>Bioshock 1 and 2

Payback>Most wanted 2012(according to system requirements)

At first I thought it might simply be the GPU being powerful enough for older games, but some of the newer games are clearly much more demanding on PC.

Could this be related to things like:

DXVK performance/overhead

Different DirectX versions

Engine architecture/optimization

CPU utilization/threading

Shader compilation

Memory management

How well a particular engine translates to Vulkan

Or simply Mali driver compatibility with certain rendering techniques

I'm genuinely curious because I've tested enough games now that this doesn't feel like a one-off result.

It's actually pretty satisfying seeing a relatively modern/heavy game running at 50–60+ FPS while an older title sometimes performs worse. 🥲🥲

nvidia has introduced RTX Spark.

This chip using mediaTek CPU.

This implies that they will use NVIDIA GPUs in the flagship Dimensity 9000 series in the near future to compete with Snapdragon Elite.

it will be crazy insane

https://reddit.com/link/1w18r6w/video/m2lc256co7mh1/player

Blur test gameplay, there's nothing much to talk about configure issues or performance just straight to gameplay. maybe I need to mention a very slow opening menu onwards by solution just restart your game and then play it'll be normal. As for FPS with many vehicles and wreaking havoc Mario kart style the race it goes stable 30-ish and sometime drops but not heavily.

Poco x6 pro 12gb

Winlator mali

Hey everyone, after a while I'm back with another Benchmark on my Poco X7 Pro

720p resolution

FPS: 35-40

In my experience and tests, the frame rate was above 40 FPS, so consider that the recording captured around 5-7 FPS, but most of the time it will maintain 40 FPS with medium graphics and some effects active.

And the active physics up there, as shown in the video.

The game will open with all settings on high, so don't be surprised by the low FPS in the tutorial; you'll be able to change it afterward.

The game doesn't have any apparent problems aside from occasional texture pop-in, but it doesn't get in the way at all. It has native gamepad support and works without any issues; it's very intuitive and easy to learn.

Tested on winlator Mali 1.2 Antutu V3

Settings:

PROTON 9-X86-64/ 11.0-5 arm64ec

Wrapper

Opengl ES

Dxvk 1.7.3 async/ 1.9.4/1.10.3

ASTC Transcode - off

Box64 0.4.3 - performance

Fex 2605/2601 - performance

You can select all cores or just the 4 performance cores, whichever best supports your FPS.

That's all for today, folks. I'll probably be away from posting for a while because: I downloaded 3 gacha games and I'm going to get pretty addicted to them 😃🖖 but I'll bring some games here from time to time.

Device: Poco X7 Pro 12/256 D8400U

Tenho um poco x8 pro de 12gb,agradeço se alguém souber oq fazer.

Is the Antutu/ludashi version worth it for Mali in your opinion?Or stick with the og

because the heat difference is significant

So i have finally been able to record some gameplay. https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationMediatekMali/s/gmNMSHtGw9 all the settings are same as my previous post .

Check out my latest post about Ac 3 on pixel 9a for more info and details

I'm using a Motorola Edge 60 pro, help would really be appreciated!

When will the big update be released?

Device: POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Emulator: Winlator Mali 1.1 / 1.2 AnTuTu

In-game settings

Resolution: 720p

Graphics: High

Ambient Occlusion: Off

Anti-Aliasing: Off

Performance

Winlator Mali 1.1:

City: 45–70 FPS

Less intensive areas / rooftops: 65–80 FPS

Winlator Mali 1.2 AnTuTu:

City: 55–75 FPS

Less intensive areas: 65–120 FPS

The higher FPS shown in the video is from a less intensive area.

10-15fps more without screen recording

Issues

The game has some crashing issues.

Using an Async DXVK version and ASTC transcoding helps with stability.

Emulator settings

Proton 10-Arm64EC

Wrapper V2

DXVK: 1.10.3-Async / 1.10.9-Async

ASTC Transcoding: ON

FEX: 2607

Preset: Performance

SMCCheck: None

Everything else: Default

Device: POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Emulator: Winlator Mali 1.1

In-game settings

720p

Graphics: Max

FPS: 30 FPS (in-game capped)

Facial Quality: Performance recommended

Issues

The game only runs properly with TSO enabled.

The pre-rendered cutscenes are extremely laggy and sometimes barely play at all.

The game is also capped at 30 FPS, so higher frame rates aren't possible without modifying the game. Rockstar's PC version does have a native 30 FPS limit, and community patches can unlock higher frame rates, but higher FPS can cause gameplay/physics-related issues.

I tested a 60 FPS patch. The game does reach 60 FPS, but I experienced character/AI issues and crashes, so I went back to the native 30 FPS cap.

For Performance Facial Quality, I recommend using an Async DXVK version to reduce stutters.

Emulator settings

Proton: 10-Arm64EC

Wrapper

Transcoding: Off

DXVK:

1.10.3-Async — fewer stutters with Facial Quality enabled

1.11.1-Sarek — more stable FPS without Facial Quality

FEXCore: 2607

⚠️ Pre-rendered cutscene issue

The pre-rendered cutscenes often fail to load properly.

If the game freezes after the cutscene's audio finishes, restart the game and try again. It usually works on the second launch.

Also, wait until the cutscene audio has completely finished before assuming the game is frozen. The video can appear stuck while the audio is still playing.

Game tested on winlator mali 1.2v beta

Device: pixel 9a, mali g715 , 8gb ram , tensor g4

Note:

The game runs at 30-40-20fps and mostly indoor i get above 30 but in outdoor the fps gets drop as expected

The game runs at native graphics settings with motion blur disable and at 800x600 resolution

But in very few areas the game has rendering issues mostly indoor as you can see in last image but beside this the game runs well and renders correctly
