The specs are legit enough, just bad optimization or what?

GameCube/Wii emulation is demanding, and the Nvidia Shield TV hardware isn't actually quite powerful enough to run all games well.

the shield tv is just the only recommended device that will get you past most, if not all driver issues that you usually run into on adreno and mali devices.

it's still an old CPU. nobody ever claimed it ran everything at full speed. or anywhere close.

Yeah, the CPU is the bottleneck. The new CPUs in modern phones are probably many times faster. It's just that the NVIDIA shield TVs drivers are so good that it still ends up faster than an Adreno/Mali device that's many times more powerful.

If NVIDIA makes a new version of the Shield T.V. with a stronger processor, it'd easily be the best android device for Dolphin by a mile.

That's why I bought a Galaxy S10e with Snapdragon 855. Will hook it up with usb to hdmi.

The Nintendo Switch killed the supposed Shield TV 2

I'd love if they made a Shield TV 2 with much better specs.
The Switch is nice, but it's soooo restricted.

Not really. Nintendo official Wii emulator can run Mario Galaxy perfectly on the Shield TV

So Dolphin isn't optimized as well.

An emulator made by a team with full, legal access to hardware documentation for the guest console made select games run well.

You can absolutely do that with Dolphin if you chose to not give a shit about running anything other than a few games. There are plenty of things you can ignore to go much faster in that case. Smile

Please don't state things you know nothing about. Cheers.

Please don't state things you know nothing about (I developed a few emulators in the past).
