Android 12 support? - D9074 - 06-18-2023
Hi, so I have moved to a new phone from android 9 to android 12. And when I try to download the emulator on my andoird 12,it says unsopported on my device. How can I get dolphin emulator on my android 12?

Dolphin supports Android 12.
If it says Dolphin isn't supported on your device, that's most likely because your device doesn't support 64-bit apps. I'm guessing your new phone is rather low-end?

Can you make the app 32-bit support?
RE: Android 12 support? - JosJuice - 06-18-2023
No. The performance would be absolutely terrible, so we're not going to spend time adding support for that. Phones that ship without support for 64-bit apps nowadays are usually so weak that even if they could run 64-bit apps, the performance would still be terrible.

How about test the latest version on a 32bit now?
If you send me a 32bit testing i will try to enable setting to get better performance

You're underestimating how terrible the performance would be. You can't get a speedup of over 10x by just tweaking settings.
You can build a 32-bit APK yourself if you really want to try it – I'm not going to spend any time on it.
