(Discussion) Vulkan Pie Progress

[hehk1234]

Any news about vulkan on Dolphin for Android 9 ? I try to contact Xiaomi (my device is Pocophone F1) to tell them about this issue and they said will conctact qualcomm about this bug. But for sure, is really problem on drivers version ? Because if the drivers are broken for emulation, PPSSPP it had to be affected too.... I know is two difference emulator, but the version 1.1.66 for Oreo version works very nice for emulation on dolphin, when I merge and recompile the drivers for Pie or use stock version bahhh black graphics problem. I think the problem is big than drivers, problably the API on Pie and the blocks are different for dolphin interpret and render ?
I'm not try to lack education here, I respect all the job the devs from dolphin makes for the community, I just try to understand with tech language what's going on here with vulkan on Pie.

the way to find out is debug what is going on when it is runing vulkan. maybe some extension has changed for vulkan in android pie.

the funny thing would be to know if vulkan work in Mali gpu for android pie (exynos devices)

I remember that in nougat vulkan was working very well with snapdragon devices. but runing in black screen with Mali gpu due to primitive restart (thanks to @ degasus for finding it)

Is very funny, every single device with adreno 5.x.x or 6.x.x, have problems with pie on vulkan for dolphin. Now if I put the same version of vulkan 1.1.66 on oreo, it runs. As you said, on exyons runs very well on Pie vulkan.

Nah, it's just another workaround for a driver issue. A big milestone is implementing Vulkan support in the first place
