Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro - dude45 - 01-16-2017
Hello. I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, Android 7.1.1, and when i try to launch Resident evil 4 with last revision of Dolphin, i have no textures. I try to change Vulkan, OpenGL, no result. If i choose Software, all good, bat low fps. Dolphin versions without Vulkan support work fine (but slow). Help, please.
P.S. Sorry for bad English

It happens to me also, I think resident evil 4 broke in the lasts builds, I just tried with buid 1589 and it works normally.

Sorry for off-topic, but how's the performance of Dolphin on your phone? I'm thinking about to buy it.

I just want some phone which at least can go in game and have a decent performance (not like slide show, but 10-20 FPS). I'm a tester, I've been testing PPSSPP since v0.1, I had a Galaxy SII, not fast enough to run PSP games, but I finished both God of War games running between 10-20 FPS. Currently I'm using a Galaxy J7, it has a 64-bit processor, but a 32-bit OS, isn't able to test latest version of emulator, anyway it's too weak.

I think all sd820/821 devices with opengl es 3.2 (which usually means android Nougat) perform the same. The oneplus 3T is potentially you're best bet.

Guilherme: Ok, seems like I've missed the point. Yeah, any recent Snapdragon should be fine. Try to avoid A53 based ones through as they only have less than half of the performance per clock. By far more important is the GPU driver. Adreno right now seems to be the best on Android but NVIDIA (Pixel C, hint hint). But you need at least the ES3.2 version. Good luck, many vendors have shipped a GPU driver update with Android N. This is not common and I don't expect them to repeat this for Android O.
64 bit userspace got quite common on mobiles with >=2G memory and >= 16G storage. So you don't have to worry as much about this.

@Grey1213 Note 3 Pro has SD 650, it's not as powerful as 820, but has a good performance. According to a guy who has one, he can run RE4 at 17 FPS using Vulkan and underclocking Dolphin's CPU, not bad at all. I believe him because Redmi Mi 5 (SD 820) runs at
25-30 according to this video:

@degasus Thank you! I'm aware of bad Mali drivers, I've tried PPSSPP on the J7 (Mali T720MP2) and the performance was worse than on SII (Mali 400MP4), I used exactly the same settings, and I know it's not a CPU bottleneck, because J7's CPU was working at lower clock and low usage, meanwhile SII's CPU was working at 100% usage, even at 1.4GHz. It's just disapointing to see a 35 GFLOPs GPU being beaten by a 9 GFLOPs one. I was not going to buy a SD phone because of overheating issues, but I see there's no other choice.

The driver update was not an accident. Google changed the CDD for 7.0 to require that OEM's expose all officially available OpeGLES and Vulkan features that the hardware supports. This will likely continue onwards to newer android builds as google doesn't retconn CDD in later revisions
