Yesterday I rooted my SGY which is running 2.3.6 and everything seems to be fine. Later I installed Chainfire 3D with the driver (the driver had to reboot my phone) and a few plugins. So now ever since I installed CF3D my Angry Birds series won't play
The screen is very messed up, like all the sprites are all over the screen it's all very messed up. The problem applies for Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio for now, the others seem to be working fine. And yes, I'm pretty sure CF3D is not running while I was trying to start Angry Birds, even tried rebooting phone, re-installing the games and it's still the same. Is it because of the driver?
Am I the only one with this problem after these 2 operations or this is normal?
Oh wow stupid me. The fix to this is to start Chainfire 3D, go to "Default OpenGL Settings" and untick the "Reduce Texture Quality" and "Reduce Texture Size".
Problem solved, mods can lock.
Guide for setting up Dolphin emulator on Nvidie shield tv:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJKOKAc0Rs
I believe the controller issues have been fixed as of a couple days ago.
I'm fairly sure I know the answer to this but has anyone got decent Wii emulation out of this device?

I'm using 4.0-5954, only tried Animal Crossing so far but it runs at full speed.
Please delete. I'll look at the video and try to match my settings

That is the builder that builds new versions every time a change is pushed to master.
Just click the new one on the top of the list (#1039 at the time of writing) and there will be an APK link to the latest built version at that point.
thanks, im not having much luck with same settings as in the video most games i tried wont even start
true crime streets of la - splash screen then crash
baldurs gate - splash screen then crash
freedom fighters - wont start
ghost recon - wont start
second sight - wont start
medal of honor front line - works but at 7fps

Same here, tried a ton of games at all kinds of different settings & they either won't start, crash immediately or 'run' at single digit fps?
They're up to build #1396 over at https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android
Is this version any improved? Can someone post results and recommended settings?

I've used those versions. I grab latest every day to see the improvements as they come. Recomendations, well... Toy with the settings. 1 at a time. That's what I did. Super Smarh Bros played at 40-60 FPS at all sorts of different settings. Just give them a shot.
I like it

There are vast improvements with the latest versions. Only had a quick go last night with Wind Waker, its almost running at full speed now. Here's a nice little video on a channel I follow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iQ6myHHMnU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJKOKAc0Rs
The fist half on the second link shows how to set it up.
Personally I set the internal resolution to 2x, enable fastmen, Enable Skip EFB access from CPU, and set EFB copy to RAM (cashed). Oh and force 16:9 aspect ratio. I leave everything else as default. That seems to work for most things and gives a good speedup. You'll get a much more details explanation of settings over on the dolphin on android forums obviously, but that should get you off to a decent start.
There has been huge improvement recently. I played through Fire Emblem Path of Radiance in its entirety on the SATV (overclock 0.5) and currently playing through FE: Radiant Dawn (overclock 0.2). For Wii games Super Mario Bros Wii and Muramasa the Demon Blade running full speed for me (and Radiant Dawn with overclock, as above). Game cube games running well include Timesplitters 2, Luigi's Mansion (although there has been aa graphical regression recently and his head is missing) and on 1x IR Mario Kart Double Dash is virtually perfect too (frame rate consistently above 55), as mentioned above Zelda WW approaching full-speed too. Performance in most games is CPU bound, so increasing to 2x IR or so doesn't hit performance in most games, so I was interested to see that Mario Kart did improve with lowering IR (someone reported that in comments in Free Emulators YouTube channel and I checked and it's the same for me also).

Arrr thats interesting, I wondered how people were running Double dash at full speed while I was stick at about 30fps. Over the weekend I played Wind Waker on the sheild, however there is a bug in the Tower of the Gods section where the lifts don't activate http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1540/t1671502-tower-of-gods-glitch-dolphin I thought it was just me and it wasn't until I gave up and looked at a walk through that I realized it wasn't me I had to transfer back to the PC and play past that section before picking back up on the Sheild. There's something very satisfying about playing on the Sheild TV. I've had dolphin on my PC forever but hardly ever fire it up, probably because of the backlog of steam games lol. Whereas with the sheild in the bedroom its the first thing I head for. Probably because I believe the gamecude games are far better gameplay wise than native android games. I tell you what though I find those Zelda games pretty challenging puzzle wise, I can fly through most modern games but they really do have me scratching my head and I do occasionally have to reach for a walkthrough as much as I hate going so.

Yes is there a list of Sheild TV specific overclock settings somewhere? I saw a thread on the dolphin forums but it said the settings may vary by device. I haven't played around with OC settings myslef yet. Off topic it would be nice to get a custom Kernel for the TV so we could bump up the CPU clock a little

I've yet to play around with any OC settings mate that was #NZtechfreak. I just enable fastmen, Enable Skip EFB access from CPU, and set EFB copy to RAM (cashed).
I'll have a play around with the OC settings later tonight, but I believe setting to 1*IR should give you almost full speed without OC settings.

cant wait till android M is release a month or 2 months from now on this device....also the shield IS perfectly capable of running dolphin at full speed..dolphin just has to be optimized and updated.
Been using the command line for just about everything.
I do quite a bit of work as I have 2 rooted boxes and one running the Google Play store (among other things).
What emulator seems to be best - time to move from the CL to a GUI.
Which is best?
Emulators for what? (Command line?) On what Box? You've been using a CLI for everything so far? Like what? You do quite a lot of work? Thats remarkable. Let me congratulate you on that.
If you want recommendations on emulators for old video game systems - ask again, I might provide you with a detailed answer - even though this thread so far seems like it wants to bait information by sounding like you are a techy person yourself (ey, buddy, buddy) although none of the statements above makes much sense.
If I am mistaken and you want recommendations for the best Terminal emulator out there, I don't know. But try "Terminal Emulator" first, because thats usually what everyone uses when it comes to terminal emulators..
---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
Oh, what the - I have the time, so why not...
If other people read this thread, looking for video game emulator recommendations.
Retroarch for everything thats not CPU intensive to emulate. Because it is a one stop setup solution for many (most) systems. Also it has the only implementation of ScummVM thats actually usable with a controller. (If you use scummvm - swapping to the new GUI theme (you have to find it as a zip file on the web) is much easier on the eyes, just fyi)
I use version 1.3.0 - because newer versions produced slowdowns on PCSX Rearmed. Havent tested the most recent builds though.
If you are on a Fire TV Stick, use either Snes9xEX version 1.5.1. or 1.5.27 (I think I stuck to 1.5.1) for SNES games as using other emulators/builds might result in performance issues http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex/downloads
If you are on a Fire TV 2 (as supposed to a Fire TV Stick, havent tested the Fire TV 1):
For most PSX games use ePSXe, most recent version.
For PSP Games use PPSSPP, most recent version.
For DS Emulation use DraStic (hard to set up, because its a paid emu, and Play Store licensing doesn't work in this case - had to resort to illicit means to get it working)
For Dreamcast emulation, use reicast (most recent beta build ( http://builds.reicast.com/ ), but it also depends on the game).
For N64 emulation use Mupen64Plus FZ Edition - its by far the best one. Most recent build should be fine as well.
Dolphin is a non starter on the AFTV2.
As for PPSSPP and ePSXe, learn what the settings do - which setting enables hardware acceleration, which setting disables certain effects - it usually is the difference between a game being perfectly playable or dropping frames. Don't resort to Youtube tutorials. Read up on the settings instead.
Result:
http://imgbox.com/g/hcG8Ulv2QY
You can use the n and b keys on your keyboard to navigate forwards and backwards in the single image view.
edit: Also - consider buying a Xiaomi Game Controller, because it is cheap and has a great digipad. To get the best results out of this controller, be rooted and change line 42 in the Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ from
key 0x13f HOME ALT #Long Press
to
key 0x13f BUTTON_START #Long Press
Otherwise, you will end up in the Amazon launcher in a few emulators that don't prevent this from happening. (It prevents this isue: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/5d9ptb/amazon_fire_tv_box_xbox_360_dongle_issues/ - but understand, that there are different kl files you have to edit for different controllers)
If you have issues with the controller going to sleep and then refusing to reconnect within an emulator - use a rubber band to pin the right stick to a tilt. Most games you emulate won't use the right stick, and this prevents the controller from turning off.
Not sure, if it helps in every case, but also google for
Bluetooth Auto Connect lag
and read up on how to potentially minimize the input lag from a Bluetooth controller using the Bluetooth Auto Connect app. Understand that in more recent versions the layout of the app has changed.
Also - just FYI, all the games you see in the images above are perfectly playable - for the beat em ups this means no framedrops whatsoever, on the other games - if there are framedrops, I havent noticed them.
The only exception is Tekken 3 running with upscaling on ePSXe. If you use Retroarch and PCSX Rearmed to emulate it (even with scanlines ) it runs frame perfect. (on Retroarch 1.3.0 that is - I just checked it out with 1.3.6 on a much beefier Android device, and it still drops frames - although the textures look better. If you wan't better playability, stick to 1.3.0) Tekken 6 also runs without dropping frames, even with some upscaling, although you have to disable graphical effects, or you will get noticable drops. All other PSP games I tested play perfectly fine with effects enabled. All Dreamcast games I tested also run without dropping frames.
Hi, i try to play a New Super Mario for Wii and Mario Kart 7 but i can´t play very well on Dolphin Emulator. Anybody can i help me. what is the best settings for play a Dolphin emulador for Note 10+ Exynos 9825.
Thanks a lot.
maybe dolphin mmj ?

why use dolphin emulator when you can use retroarch. it so much easier to use.

It doesn't work for GameCube games on the Note 10
Am running Gamecube games on Dolphin.
Only thing i changed was the Graphic Settings Video Backend to be Vulkan.
Was able to play Zelda Twilight Princess at around 25-30fps
@elevation_ph
Download Dolphin-MMJ. You'll have to Google it and download it from his GitHub. Set the following setting:
General:
CPU core - JIT ARM64 Decompiler
Dual Core - Toggled ON
Override Emulated CPU Speed - Toggled ON
Emulated CPU Speed - 75% (you may have to play with number based on the game)
Sync on Skip Idle - Toggled ON
JIT Follow Branch - Toggled ON
Audio Stretching - Toggled ON
Graphics:
Video Backend - Vulcan
Compile Shaders Before Starting - Toggled ON
Backend Multithreading - Toggled ON
Enhancements:
Internal Resolution - Either 720p or 1080p. No higher
Full Scene Anti-Aliasing - OFF
Anisotropic Filtering - OFF
Post Processing Affect - FXAA Natural
Force 24-Bit color - Toggled ON
Everything else Toggled OFF
Hacks:
Toggle everything ON, EXCEPT for GPU Texture Decoding. GPU Text Decoding will break your game.
With those settings I can play Eternal Darkness on my Note 10+ or my Tab S6 at 1080p and 60fps, either directly on the device, or hooked up to my TV with DeX. I used an XBox One S controller with it and it works great.
Using High Performance mode on the Note 10+ does seem to help, plus the 12GB of RAM make it run just slightly smoother then the Tab S6, but both run it amazingly well.
You can always play with those settings, but that's the best settings I've found for Eternal Darkness, which is a pretty taxing game to run in Dolphin.
Hope that helps!
Happy new year all.
Just thinking of flashing a new ROM and was contemplating what could be possible on current hardware.
The last time I ran a test from top to bottom I hit the ceiling at ps2 emulation but that was dodgy
Anyway, I personally haven't used any of the new emulators for a while so wondered what is currently possible? What have you used? What worked? Or was good?
I know in theory 90% of Wii games should work and everything underneath it, so GameCube, PSP, PSX, N64, Dreamcast, Saturn, 32x, jaguar, arcade, mega drive, SNES, Neogeo.
Any info, ideas, cool stuff,
IMO it all depends on the game.
I play NSMB Wii through dolphin and that works great. But as an example, I can't get Rogue Leader on GC to play on anything except a good GPU on a PC. The Hoth level brings everything to it's knee's and OP8P is no exception.
AetherSX2 is great for PS2 emulation and with a few tweaks seems to play everything very well. I tried shadow of the collosus and Black and both were very playable. Check youtube for how to tweak.
But yea, everything below that seems to work great. Dreamcast, PSP, PS1, Mame. I even managed to get Killer Instinct arcade working throuh retroarch and that worked very well.
You can also play packages for Doom 3 and OG Half Life as well as HL2 and Portal with hacky APK's.

What's NSMB?
Shadow of the colossus? If that's working then that's really really impressive, that absolutely pushed the ps2 to the limit, the use of fog to keep graphics in memory was genius for it's time and to manage to keep the frames up on ps2 hardware.
Cheers will have a look at that ps2 emulator, nice one.
PS:. I've got a guide on how to run PC games with native files
One of the things i've been using for gaming has been this app https://parsec.app/
Pop it on a PC you game on then log in, change some settings then leave that PC alone.
On a second device, android / mac / or other windows device, download the app from the link and install it.
Log in and you can then control the PC you installed it on in the first place, i have to say that the speed of input is really really good, i was massively impressed by the responsiveness and ability to play through games with minimal setup required.
Few things to change.
Set resolution to 1920x1080
Change network to latency / performance
Change network allowed to max / 50Mb
Renderer - DX11
That should work as expected.
I played some PS2 games on my Huawei P30 Pro already.
For the nature of emulation, not every game works. But everything below PS2 and below WII U is probably very enjoyable. Most emulators are open source and are ported to android anyway.
I would say God of War from PS2 is playable on the 8 Pro.
