Twilight Princess on Samsung Galaxy S5? - TheBirdOfFIre - 03-10-2016

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone with a Samsung Galaxy S5
Got Twilight Princess to run, and if yes, which build/settings?
Is it possible to use the Hyrule Hack?

And Is there any other game that worked for you?

Build Revision: Dolphin 4.0-6151 (last one that supported ARMv7 Processors I believe)

Thanks!

You'll have to look farther back than that.

That may have been the last build produced for ARMv7, but the ARMv7 build was broken for a few thousand builds already by that point. (the difficulty (really, impossibility) of fixing this breakage was one of the reasons support was dropped altogether.)

Ok thanks for the quick response, can anyone recommend me a stable build for ARMv7? Or one in General that works well on the S5?

define "well"? Lots of issues (crashes, bad rendering), slow as hell, broken GPU driver. Yeah, that's the best one we have for ARMv7 .... It's not dropped because it's hard to fix the issue YellowDart was talking about. More because there is (and there will be) no device able to run any games well.

So what you're saying is I shouldn't even bother as not a single game will run on an enjoyable state? Sad that's a bit disappointing but i guess
There's nothing I can do about it. Thanks for the quick responses though!

Needs a 64bit processor so at least a Galaxy S6
Still hoping theres gonna be a workaround for the S7 soon.

Right now, you basicly need the shield android tv to get any game well on android. But there is a chance that eg the galaxy s7 with a theoretical vulkan backend a even more theoretically nice GPU driver also might do the trick, but very unlikely....
