It works very great. Can you run gaqmes like Killer7, or Viewol Joe? I am sure that the RE saga doesent work? Can you confirm it?

Great video

My device is the Exynos variant, I see that you're running an older version since you don't have the option to change the video backend. I'm using the later releases and OpenGL rendering and games like Black Ops run atrociously, Vulkan won't load since the dolphin emulator seems to not be fully compatible with the Exynos chipset yet.

Try getting the later releases and see if there is a performance increase upon changing the video backend from the default OpenGL to Vulkan which your Snapdragon variant should support. Also, may I ask which release it is you are using to emulate this game, because every release I've tried so far Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex Edition Loads up to the main menu and even loads up the game with an unplayable frame rate but I bet if the emulator didn't have these chipset incompatibilities then setting the video backend to Vulkan, for me, would drastically improve performance.

Also how did you get the options to enable FPS, Enhancements and Hacks? I can't seem to find this menu, unless it has been removed in the later releases.

Or because the driver for your chipset is bad.

It's accessed by going to Video Settings, right next to the general settings. On the main screen, it should look like an icon of a painting next to the regular settings icon.

Please keep in mind that we're not talking about "variants" here. Your both phones have the same name, the same design, but the hardware has almost nothing in common. The S7 snapdragon has more in common with eg the LG G4 (both are snapdragons with an adreno 4xx GPU) than with the S7 Exynos. You also won't compare two desktops because both have the same case, will you?

By the way, the Adreno drivers did improve a lot in the last years. Starting with their ES3.2 drivers, which are usually shipped with android-N firmwares, they are "usable" with dolphin. They still have plenty of bugs, but the games finally look as they should. Mali is still far away ...

Thanks for your recommendations, I have downloaded a Newer build and will be testing some settings for you guys to let you know how they run.

FPS, enhancements amd hacks can be found in the upper right corner of the Dolphin app.

The version which I am running is in the description of the video. Ill be uploaing some new games to my channel but wont be making 1 post every time I upload a video unless I see big improvements.

Stay tuned to my channel, this will be a long list of videos I'll be making.
