Lowering the Resolution Beyond Default 480p

[James-Money]

Hi, I'm new here, so I was wondering if there was a way to lower the resolution beyond the default Wii/GameCube settings. This is probably a stupid question and I am not asking for it to be added in. I was just wondering if there is a configuration folder I could play around with to manually adjust the resolution. I am running Dolphin on the Google Pixel, I don't expect performance to be perfect, but I was hoping lowering the resolution below 480p would help.

On mobile, 99% of the time at 1x res you're limited by the cpu (either jit or driver overhead), or if it's the gpu it's more likely to be limited by things like the cost of submissions. Not fill rate or fragment shaders, which is what scales with resolution.

So there's probably zero advantage to decreasing the resolution. It won't make things faster. Plus it'll make the games look like ass, and might even be annoying to read text etc. So it's not a priority to add this to the UI to set.

it's not even possible in INI.

We removed fractional IRs ages ago because it broke stuff

So no.

Okay, thank you very much, I might be able to get a laptop with decent enough specs soon, so I may migrate away from Android, thanks for the response!

It's most likely the COU that's slowing you down, so lowering it down probably wont help. SD83/845 or custom build is definately the way to go.
