Finished those games in my S6
Zelda wind waker
Prince of persia sand of time
Klonoa wii
Dbz budokai 1 y 2
Dbz budokai tenkiachi 3 Wii
Naruto the dragon blade wii
Mortal kombat Armgedon wii
Luigi's mansion
And more........
And now playing new super mario bros wii and zelda twilight princess
Well zelda twilight princess is unplayable in Faroe woods (slow as hell)
Hold up... windwaker is playable on the s6?? Could you post a screen shot of your fps? I might trade in my s7 for a note 5 if that stuff is "playable"
Deleted few week's ago
It's very playable, the fps variety depending of the area.
I use an custom kernel in my S6 to overclock CPU /GPU and undervolt an bit.
Touchwiz dvfs disabled to.
Note zelda games work slow because the settings CPU override do nothing in those games

Ive tried the latest Android build of dolphin with two games: Paper Mario TTYD and Windwaker. Neither game is close to playable. 15-19 fps on paper mario and windwaker crashes before title sceen fully loads. I used the standard settings basically.
Edit: Just to clarify, I was getting fps in the teens the first time I installed dolphin for paper mario and got all the way to the main area in Rogueport and I just had enough. After that, i tried several builds and uninstalled dolphin several times, since then it keeps getting slower.
The exynos should get better performance when whatever issues with it are fixed (assuming they will be).
You can still get the exynos in the US if you get the international version.

What you mostly get to hear from them is that app developers have to fix their apps to run properly on their drivers.
Seems to be that way in,for example,Goat Simulator Android since there is multiple alternate versions for different processors of the same architecture.
I have read about someone getting the wrong one downloaded oddly and having several graphics in the game completely broken looking,and even seen a screenshot of how it looked.

I thought dolphin only used 2 cores, so then the less cores the better, but I'm a noob when it comes to these matters. by that logic the snapdragon 820 should do better, but obviously there are more factors involved

So you're saying that you rooted your s6, installed a third party OS, like Cyanogenmod, and that had what specific benefits? Enabling overclock and disabling touchwiz frees up more resources from
CPU/GPU?? Or can you update drivers?

It's not really right to say "the less cores the better"; it's not like Dolphin is going to say, "oh, this guy's just got the two cores, let's kick it into turbo mode." It's more right to say that two fast cores would perform better at dolphin than four (or forty) slow cores.
The problem is that there isn't a general pattern of mobile SOC manufacturers creating chips with fewer cores in order for those cores to be more powerful - usually, when there are fewer cores, the reason is to cut costs. Exceptions exist, certainly - but it just means you can't really say "the less cores the better" - that won't usually be true.
This isn't likely to change either. It turns out if a device manufacturer had to choose between two fast cores and 8 slow ones (again, not really something that happens) they'd probably choose the 8 slow ones, because they have 10 million customers using these phones to post videos to Snapchat, and maybe 100 using them for Dolphin? And Snapchat would do just fine with 8 slow cores.

Been a really long time since I tried Cyanogenmod, but when I did I got major, major performance improvements in general use. However, this has more to do with Touchwiz being quite inefficient with memory, causing garbage collection to happen frequently. This affects Java-based apps - really, most of the apps you use daily. Native code - like Dolphin - is unlikely to be affected too much by this.
You'd get better results from using your newly-acquired root access to overclock your CPU. But, in my experience I usually wasn't able to raise clock speeds by more than 15-20%. A 20% speed boost from 19fps is still 21fps, well short of full speed in any game.
Long story short - if you try Cyanogenmod it might be better at Dolphin, but not by much.
I'll just settle for N64 and SNES classics for now, I'll check back and see if any progress has been made in a couple of months. I'd be willing to help if that were possible.

Its because the GPU drivers have crappy support (to be honest I'm not entirely sure how this works
), and apparently its so bad for adreno GPU that open gl is limited to 3.0 instead of 3.1.
Anyway, the main thing is there are two bottlenecks for dolphin, the CPU, and the GPU drivers having bad support. Even if the Snapdragon has two slightly better cores, it probably doesn't come close to compensating for the GPU problems.
Exynos GPU has problems too, but not as bad.
