Fire TV Gaming Edition

Now that it's out I'm making a thread about it in case anyone buys it and tests it out. It has a Mediatek MT8173 which is the first released processor with A72 cores.

For some reason the device doesn't work with Dolphin's fastmem implementation.
It looks like the device is overriding what we set as a signal handler and eats the sigsegv we generate.

It's /completely/ video driver bottlenecked that can't be worked around. For an example, the Animal Crossing title screen runs at 7FPS on the device.

Hmmm. I guess that means Imagination's drivers are garbage.

This i found out first hand when I purchased a zenfone 2.  Except in the case of Imagination the overhead is so bad performance is affected even in regular games.

I had contact with the IMGTec people about the issues with performance, and they said that they would prod a few engineers about it.
Nothing has come from it yet

Any news?

When I said that I talked to IMGTec, I talked to them on August 28th.
Don't expect anything soon.
