I need help, I have a galaxy s7 and have tried everything to get the emulator to work, any help?

Explain exactly what's happening. And is your phone Exynos or Snapdragon?

I have no idea what either of those are sorry, I have a standard galaxy s7

Well, we can't help if you just say the emulator doesn't work, there's many possibities:

-The emulator doesn't install
-The emulator stop working
-The emulator doesn't boot any game (or a specific game)

Just tell what's happening. You can know which Galaxy S7 is yours installing AIDA64, in CPU spces you'll see if it's Exynos or Snpadragon. The "standard" version should be the Exynos, but check it to be sure.

Okay well I download the app perfectly, and I've tired I'd like to say 4 different games for NGC but none of them loaded.

Are you using the latest dev builds or the last official apk? Which games you have tried? The Exynos is more prone to compatility issues due to bad Mali drivers, while the Snpadragon version should have a good compatibility and issues more related to graphics or performance.

Okay I checked and it says snapdragon, and I apologize but I have no idea what "Dev builds" or "apk" are. I have tried wind waker , super smash bros, Luigi mansion and super Mario sunshine but when I downloaded the ROM and went to the app to try and run them when I clicked on the file it just took me back to the dolphin home screen and nothing else happened

Im galaxy s7 user too.. but Im exynos.

dolphin emultor on exynos cpu runs so slow...

and even if I have vulkan api, If I select it, app crashes.

How can I solve this?

Maybe you can support exynos

The apk is the extension of android installer file, I supposed you knew that as you should have downloaded the apk from anywhere, Dolphin isn't available in Play Store anymore.

Anyway, this forums doesn't support piracy, don't talk about it. If you're using any old version of emulators, is very probably most games won't run, and if get some running, will perform badly. Check Dolphin's official site for recent builds.

The most issues related to Exynos devices are caused by bad Mali drivers which leak many OpenGL extensions, Vulkan support also is incomplete on Android as it's unpopular yet. We can only hope that ARM fix most issues related to OpenGL and improve the Vulkan support of Mali GPUs in next versions. The last good driver for Mali was r7p0 (still not perfect), I think Galaxy S7 never had this driver version in any Android version, only newer, but Galaxy S6 did.
