Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

They might fix rendering bugs, but that is not guaranteed. It may not help Dolphin at all.

Or they might create more bugs.

Mobile GPU drivers are bad.

[color=#212121]Despite the fact that mobile gpu are bad, what developers have achieved in such a short time is incredible, to be able to play real games on a mobile device is priceless, thank you very much and do not lower your arms !![/color]

So Snapdragon 845 doesn't have that vulkan hack?

If you mean the hack that makes us use 24-bit depth, that hack should be enabled while you're using a Snapdragon 845. It's possible there's some problem beyond the 32-bit depth clear problem, though.

The problem is that the newest Adreno drivers are broken again, and only devices stuck on an older version of the driver have working Vulkan because they broke something else in a newer update.

Yes, black screen on games and others have black artifacts but fps is higher

Not rendering anything is faster yes.

This may be a similar issue to what I've seen since updating my pixel (sd820) to the latest android P - the driver update appears to break pretty much all rendering for dolphin using vulkan.

It doesn't seem related to the recent depth24 workaround (It's still broken with that on or off)

So currently it seems to be if the driver on your snapdragon device gets updated to that same, later version - you cannot use dolphin with vulkan.

[color=#212121]That was what I was worried about updating to Android 8.1. And how are you doing in performance using opengl, any improvement?[/color]
