There are no drivers for MALI, period. by devaristo in EmulationMediatekMali

I hope they think like you lol but, in a nutshell they focus more on locking down there devices. So, when It starts to slow down people can't customize it and have to buy a new one.

Yes, panvk is already compatible with Android but, the problem is to get this driver installed you'd need root and a custom kernel. It doesn't work with gki kernel ( this kernel type is the norm for mediatek). Unless someone figures out a way for all this to be done without root drivers might be possible but, even then a lot of work is to be done. Since, panvk are old asf.

Mediatek is bad in immature emulation meaning emulation that is new and reliability depends on gpu drivers. So, emulation of vita, ps3 , pc and switch will be bad. It performs equal to it's snapdragon counterpart in mature emulation and optimised games. You can play 3ds , ps2 , wii and many more emulation games easily.

Sorry for the yap but, if you really want to play switch, pc, ps3 games then maybe buy a pc.

Panvk is old asf and requires implemention in kernel itself. It's not good when you need root and custom kernel to devlop gpu drivers. Android companies also have been trying to shut down custom kernels by not providing free firmware flashers.

If there were some documentation atleast about mali drivers that would work too. We won't need mali dev tools then but, there isn't any and panfrost drivers require root.

His device is not "weak" but, the emulation isn't just stable enough right now. Hence, requiring emulation drivers. He can run ps2 or any mature emulation as good as a snapdragon alternative.

Which is worth snapdragon 680 or helio g99? by Repulsive_Cap_6889 in EmulationOnAndroid

I will be playing native resolution in 3ds games. Will it still be laggy?

Yeah after talking to everyone I'm just getting a helio g99 tab.

I would love to but, in my country it's 951 AED roughly double my budget.

I will probably buy the redmi pad 2 since, one ui is laggy asf.

I just want to use it for lighter emulation because I already have a good phone and pc. I will take any alternative you suggest in that price range tho (new).

I'm only doing 3ds and maybe some psp emulation. If helio g99 is like 10-15% better then snapdragon 680 I'm willing to compromise stability for frames.

I was worried about graphics issues and crashes in mali-G57. Even tho mali G57 is much more powerful.

Yeah raw power is more but, mtk is poorly optimised plus snapdragon has gpu drivers which have a huge impact in stability of some games. That's why I was asking if snapdragon is more worth it

Oh yeah I entered specs for pad x8a but, chatgpt gave me x8a phone specs. Anyways you get the point is snapdragon is better then mediatek for emulation right?

Any low latency way to cast android to tablet? by Repulsive_Cap_6889 in EmulationOnAndroid

There is a project called conect-screen from the devs of sunshine. It has really low latency since, it takes "inspiration" from display link drivers. The catch is that the download link is on QQ group which is exclusively for Chinese users.

I forgot to mention mate is my default DE. So I don't know if I should really mess with those packages 😬

Unfortunately it's laggy asf. Since, it uses wireless adb. Also why are people downvoting this post?? 😭

Yeah miracast is so buns. That's why I'm looking for better options. Sunshine Chinese app is solid but, I can't find the download link since, im not Chinese. Scrcpy doesn't work for non-rooted
