When i open the emulator on my samsung galaxy s6 under opengl it tells me driver does not support ext_buffer_storage. I have attached a screen shot. Please help
There is nothing to do, it should still run, it will just be extremely slow like it says. If you want support for the extension you'll have to complain to the manufacturer (but you won't be getting it for a phone that is no longer supported).

Moved to Android!
Preeeetty much what it says on the tin.
Your phone doesn't support buffer_storage.

Use vulkan, games will work fast.
S6 vulkan driver is more stable than the one included in s7,s8,s9
Vulkan would probably just immediately crash (it is a S6 with a Mali GPU after all), and even if it doesn't, it won't do much for the performance problem. Also saying "games will work fast" is implying *all* games will run at fullspeed and that's just not true; even if there weren't driver problems, it just isn't powerful enough to run the vast majority of games at fullspeed.

Tested in S6 (most of them at stable 22fps +)
Vulkan in s7,s9 exynos after Oreo update = crash
Currently android drivers are a crapshoot. It seems each version (*driver* version - the android version itself doesn't guarantee driver versions, though they're *often* updated about the same time) has a random different selection of bugs. You may be lucky and your SoC/Driver/Dolphin/Game set doesn't hit any (or at least none that completely break everything). You might not be so lucky.
And that's for OpenGL. Vulkan tends to be less stable.
The weird thing is only RE4 work fine in opengl (only this game work without texture bug)
All other games have broken textures or black screen in opengl.

One third is "work fast"? We have a very different definitions!
Also those games have widely different demands, so that is a sweeping generalization.
