Emulator bugged on samsung galaxy s6 or nougat?

Hey i was trying to play the wind waker on my s6 using dolphin emulator. But the game is contantly lagging and has black background in the start menu instead of colour being there and a mostly stable framerate. Is it because of the nougat update which has made some games buggy

If the bug doesn't have on interpreter or your standard computer, then it's probably shitty android GPU drivers.

Its because ive seen many s6 play it at30fps.

Its solid in all emulators including ppsspp. i saw marshmelow versions and they seem to run the game fine but not nougats.

Dolphin uses OpenGL/Vulkan in ways that most apps don't, not even PPSSPP.

Then the problem is likely the GPU drivers.

Do you think an update to the driver might solve the solution? OpenGL proves to be the fastest renderer when I use it when the loading screen appears but fails when actual gameplay is present

They'll likely fix whatever regression is affecting the driver eventually.

Moved to Android...

I knew r12 was trash and now I know r15 is too. No hope for the S6 but the S7 will see r17 or r18 with the 8.0 update. We'll have to move to the BiFrost driver revisions soon, doesn't look like midgard is ever getting a good driver revision. r7 was great for dolphin but poor for regular games. Now they flipped it.
