Blame Qualcomm.

It could be a JIT issue. He could also not be running Kit Kat on his device. I mean, we don't have very much RE4 testing data for android so it's hard to dismiss it. Maybe if a shield user could test it out we would know what is Qualcomm BS and what isn't.

Running KitKat has nothing to do with it. It can't be a JIT issue either, as he says that he saw a video of it running on a note 3. Adreno drivers cause a lot of games to blackscreen.

Yeah but we don't know what build the note 3 user was using. Not to mention the note 3 user could easily have been using a Qualcomm device.

But the reason why i asked about the guys note 3 running resident evil 4 as it uses the same chipset as my z1 compact.

The same chipset means nothing. The GPU is the problem here. I know of a channel who posts Dolphin videos from a Note 3; they use a Mali variant.

Use the latest revision of Dolphin, not the one from the playstore. That may help you to at least load.

Done that and again.it gets to the 'loading system data' screen, and its still a black screen.
