dolphin on x86

Will dolphin on android use the x86 compiler from the main branch on desktop, or is a separate android x86 compiler used?

There's an ARM recompiler. AFAIK x86 support has been removed from Dolphin.

The x86 recompilers (JIT and JITIL) are both specific to x86. The x86-64 recompilers are specific to x86-64, and the ARM recompilers are specific to ARM. This is because they have certain components written in assembly. There's also a generic build with no assembly that can be compiled for anything, but it has no recompilers, just interpreters. I'm pretty sure you could compile a dolphin build for x86 (or x86-64) android, and it'd use the assembly code from the desktop version as opposed to the ARM version (which wouldn't work) or the generic build (which would work, but would be unplayably slow).

Well we need to get some kind of x86 jit compiler for dolphin android because Intel x86 isn't working good with ARM

You really shouldn't post to old threads - if you have something to say/ask and there's not a recent thread discussing it, it might be a good idea to start a new one. When you post to an eight month old thread, especially with something as fast-moving as Dolphin, it's likely that at least some of the information will no longer be correct or relevant.

Its not irrelevant if it is relatable to the topic but thanks anyway, let's get back on topic though!

Do you know what necroposting is?

**AnyOldName3** · 03-31-2015, 07:07 AM **#10**

In case you don't, necroposting is where you post to an old thread which we're not using any more. It's bad for the same reasons as it was when I told you off for it a few posts ago. Don't make someone important come along and close this, as it'd a waste of their time.
