Dolphin Emulator 10.6.8 Plus 5 And

Ive made one of these tutorials for the HTC 10 and Oneplus 5 and both went down well, have struggled to match the power of the 835 and its Adreno GPU on the P20 Pro, the Kirin is fast but the Mali has been this phones achilles heel, it isnt awful but it simply does not have the most optimized drivers and no one will ever get the most out of it.

Until now. A chap over on the Dolphin-emu forums called Zhang Wei has went and done some amazing wizardry specifically for Kirin based devices.

Moving onto the emulator itself, its brilliant compared to the original, the results which Ive seen for myself are nothing short of spectacular, not every game is perfect (but then no emulator is perfect) All the games I tried ran at a solid 60fps without anomalies and without any crashes, below ill post specifically how to replicate this on your devices and any files youll need, its not hard but one thing i have found that i needed was GPU Boost, anyone who has EMUI 8.1 past 130 will already have this, if you like me are running a non EMUI ROM then you can install the Magisk module for the same effect.

Although I believe that this version of Dolphin is made for Honor Huawei devices, some Samsung devices run Mali so should see the same benefits, albeit without GPU turbo.

Grab the emulator and copy it to your phone, if its already there then open it with a file manager, click install 2.

Resident Evil 4 is a different animal altogether but the settings here should be enough to make it totally playable.

My personal favourite is the WindWaker which is just a superb game, this has been causing me some problems using Vulkan, so Open GL is preferred, Im trying to find the perfect settings for it still, will update here once i have.

Open the app up and click the settings bar up the top (3 dots) youll be given a list of options, below is each section and their respective choices, there is a floppy disc icon at the top of each section, everytime you make a change click the disc to save.

General: CPU Core - JIT ARM64 Dual core - on Override emulated CPU Clock Speed - off Emulated clock speed - unchanged Speed limit - 100 Sync on skip idle - on JIT Follow branch - on Enable cheats - off (only noobs cheat ) Change discs - on Audio stretching - on Audio back end - Cubeb 3.

Graphics settings: Video Backend - Vulkan Show FPS - on (unless youre happy with performance and dont want to test or tweak for more performance) Shader compilation mode - Synchronous Compile shaders before starting - off Back end multithreading - on Aspect ratio - Force 16:9 (for me this is the best ratio for the p20 pro, its up to you here) Display scale - 100 4.

Enhancements: Internal resolution - depending on the game I toggle between 1x and 2x Full screen anti aliasing - off Anisotropic Filtering - off Post processing effect - off Scaled EFB Copy - on Per-Pixel lighting - on Force Texture filtering - on Force 24 bit colour - on Disable fog - off Disable copy filter - on Arbitrary mipmap detection - on Widescreen hack - personal choice ( prefer this to be on, more screen to see although a little zoomed out) 5.

Hacks: Skip EFB Access from CPU - on Ignore format changes - on Store EFB copies to Texture only - on Defer EFB Copies to RAM - on Texture cache accuracy - Low GPU Texture decoding - off Store XFB copies to texture only - on Immediately present XFB - on Fast calculation depth - on Framebuffer format - RGBA8 6.

Interface: Use Panic handlers - off (personal choice, i dont need it, shows errors when they happen) Show on screen display messages - off (again personal choice) Use Built-in Database of game names - on 7.

All games can be played with touchscreen but I would definitely recommend a bluetooth pad, the one i use is the iPega extendible, which has proven to be brilliant, the below link is not the cheapest Ive found it for, mine cost 16 so shop around.

The touchscreen controls can be turned off Whilst you are within a game, just swipe down and then click options, you can toggle the controls from there, move them around, make them different sizes etc.

You do have the option to make some changes from this same menu but I would advise against this as it can get confusing.

One thing i would say to do if you have a few people around is to get a USB-C - HDMI converter and get a few pads, you can use up to 4 on this emulator.

The install path on android is sdcarddolphi-mmj The GC folder holds your save games so make a back up if you need to complete a full uninstall if you are testing or changing versions.

Enjoy, hopefully this tutorial helped you and youre enjoying games on your P20 Pro the way games should be played, if you liked this tut then please hit thanks.

Cheers, any questions let me know and Ill do what I can to help.
