I am currently a primary iPhone user, however I am planning a return to android in the next year. I always use custom Roms and lately it feels like I will be moving to GrapheneOS which will require me to move to a pixel phone. I have used a pixel in the past with GrapheneOS on a pixel 4a, but I have yet to use a non snapdragon variant.
I know historically, at least it seems, that Adreno tends to get the most development of emulation geared towards it, specifically on the high end. But, does anyone here have experience using Mali on higher end emulators. I see yuzu has added support recently, but I usually stick too my steam deck for Yuzu. Generally I would be curious about AetherSX2 performance, but any level of insight is greatly appreciated!
Either way I will being going with it, so I suppose I can follow up here with my testing and compare it, relatively poorly, to the SD 8gen1 in my tab s8 ultra.
I have recently installed AetherSX2 on my stock Pixel 6 and tried 4 games:
- Tony Hawk Undergroud 2 - works perfectly fine
- Tony Hawk Underground - same as above
- LOTR: Return of the King - small FPS dips (marginal) but some menu text missing
- Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - no happening, terrible FPS
But I haven’t played around with any settings yet, I’m using the default Safe settings. If you want, I could run some tests. But I’m absolutely clueless with this stuff, never done it before.
That is actually super helpful! I appreciate the feedback and I think that gives me something to go off of!
I’ve seen videos of games working 10/10 on Pixel 7 - I don’t know if it’s hardware difference or the settings
