Hello!
So I was wondering if anyone on these forums has gotten an exynos note 9 yet. Since it's running on android 8.1 (instead of the 8.0 on the s9) it could pottentially already support the extension. Nice to know if samsung actually implented it and if we may expect it in software updates.

Just wait for the android P update. By then the driver should have hit upstream. No telling when Samsung will be bothered to provide such an update.

Hello! 

I think they have, yes. I don't get the error message when I start a game with opengl  on my exynos note 9. I have a limited number of games but I can do some testing for people if it would be of any help.

I can confirm my guilty pleasure game Doshin the giant runs pretty much full speed at 720p now.

I've installed CPU monitoring software and my clocks have never been higher than 1060/2704. I'm certainly not thinking of rooting right now but I think there's a lot of room for improvement if the CPU can be forced to run faster.

Sorry for the late response, busy weekend!

Ok I'll update below with my testing - I will say which video backend I have used and what dolphins reported framerate is. All other settings are default as is resolution.

Dolphin 5.0 - 8627

Doshin the Giant - [color=#33cc33]Open GL [/color]50fps no glitches          [color=#3399ff]Vulkan [/color]50fps but the sky is glitchy (PAL copy so I think 50fps may be full speed on this one)

Luigi's Mansion -       [color=#33cc33]Open GL[/color] 30fps no glitches but slow down when catching ghosts    [color=#3399ff]  Vulkan[/color] 30 fps but broken flashlight texture

[color=#ff3366]EDIT:[/color] Mario Kart DD -  [color=#33cc33]Open GL[/color][color=#333333] Varies depending on course, slow down with lots of racers on screen. Between 40/60 fps[/color][color=#333333]      [/color][color=#3399ff] Vulkan [/color][color=#333333]full speed, but blue filter over the screen[/color]


[color=#333333]Twin Snakes -    [/color][color=#33cc33]Open GL [/color][color=#333333]between 25/30 fps blue filter over codec screen                    [/color][color=#3399ff]Vulkan[/color][color=#333333] 35/40 fps, flickering radar[/color]


[color=#333333]Pikmin & Pikmin 2 - full speed for both, occasional stuttering but nothing major. [/color]


[color=#333333]Super Monkey Ball - generally full speed on both but feels smoother on Vulkan, slows down on mini games such as monkey target[/color]


[color=#333333]Wario World - Generally full 60fps on both, some slow down and audio crackling.[/color]


[color=#ff3333]EDIT: [/color][color=#333333]Wind Waker - [/color][color=#333333]really bad performance on both backends, hovers around 10 fps[/color]


[color=#333333]I still have Star Fox adventures, time splitters 2 and F-zero to try, and a few EA games if I can track them down from my brother. [/color]


[color=#333333]I noticed some games (pikmin, wario world) actually ran smoother using Vulkan on my 'overclocked' S8, so as I said before I do think there is performance to be gained if the cpu can be forced to run at a higher speed. [/color]

Here's the message I get now when starting games using Open GL, on my previous phone I used to get a message telling me to contact the device manufacturer to get the correct drivers, something along those lines.

Apologies for the link, I couldn't get the image to embed into the post. 

I hope the information is of use to someone - I've used Dolphin on PC for years and it would be nice to give something back in some way!

I'll continue to test and update my previous post, if anyone wants me to test certain hacks/enhancements I can try that too, just put it in your reply.

If the message telling you your drivers sucks because it doesn't have buffer_storage does not pop up, your phone does indeed have it and assuming a correct implementation in drivers, some games should indeed be appreciably faster.

Thats kind of Good news. This measage in your screen shot is normal.

I assume that means exynos gpu is fixed.
What about resident evil re4?

It doesn't mean it's "fixed"

It means that it has an important GL extension we use to avoid a lot of driver overhead to go faster. You'll probably still trip over a lot of driver bugs
