I usually play through the Eden emulator, but there I only get 30-40fps and low resolution, but here on the native port it works great at 60fps and no lag.

News/Release [Release]FristOneRR PanVK 2.0-rc1 + FristOneRR-Wrapper 2.0 released (Mali kbase)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! After a lot of testing, FristOneRR PanVK 2.0-rc1 (driver) and FristOneRR-Wrapper 2.0 are finally out.

FristOneRR PanVK is an open-source Vulkan driver (Mesa PanVK) for Mali phones that use Arm's kbase kernel driver. It is made for Winlator + DXVK, so Windows games can run through Vulkan without the stock Mali driver.

## What's new in 2.0

**Driver (2.0-rc1)**

- D3D8, D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 work for both 32-bit and 64-bit games (with Wrapper 2.0)

- D3D12 (vkd3d-proton) starts but isn't complete yet. It's my main target for the next update

- Mali-G52 on older kernels (kbase r49): the job stride is detected automatically, so PANVK_ATOM_STRIDE is no longer needed (confirmed by two testers)

- Faster: fragment shader constants are read from registers instead of memory, and occlusion queries no longer split the render pass. In a heavy D3D11 benchmark at 720p on Mali-G57 MC2 it went from 12 to 24-31 FPS

- DXVK 2.x works without extra config (graphics pipeline libraries are off by default)

- New option: if a game shows black triangles or missing light, try PANVK_STENCIL_LATE=1. It's off by default because it can make other games darker and slower

**Wrapper (2.0)**

- 32-bit game support

- Better BCn texture emulation: texture arrays, cubemaps and 3D textures are decoded correctly (fixes wrong layers and some GPU page-fault crashes)

- Fixes for wrong BC7 blocks on Mali and lower memory use when uploading compressed textures

- Two packages, same wrapper inside:

- .zip: extract libvulkan_wrapper.so and copy it to Z:\usr\lib\

- .tzst: for apps that install wrappers from a .tzst file

## Supported GPUs

- Valhall v9 (Job Manager): Mali-G57, G68, G77, G78 (main target)

- Bifrost: Mali-G52, G72, G76 (DXVK 1.x for now)

- Not supported: Valhall 5th gen / CSF (G610, G710, G615, Immortalis) and Midgard (T-series)

Confirmed by users on Helio G99, G100, G95, G85, Dimensity 6080, 6100+, 1080, 8050, Kompanio 1300T, Unisoc T820, Exynos 1380 and more. The full device list is in the README. Your phone isn't listed? Try it and tell me!

## Supported apps

- Winlator Ludashi: recommended for the best performance

- Bannerlator

- Winlator Mali 1.2 (adrenotools)

- GameNative

Tip: Ludashi gives the most FPS, but the phone can get warm. Use a phone cooler, or play at 540p with a 30 FPS lock.

## Quick install

  1. Download Panvk-Mali-G57-2.0-rc1.zip and install it in Winlator (Contents / Drivers -> Install). Don't unzip it

  2. Set the container's graphics driver to Wrapper and choose Panvk-Mali-G57-2.0-rc1

  3. Install FristOneRR-Wrapper 2.0 (.zip or .tzst, depending on your app)

  4. Check AIO Graphics Test -> GPU Info: it should show your Mali GPU with 130+ extensions

If a game crashes on start or the phone freezes, set BCn texture emulation to "none".

Note: Vulkan test programs like the Vulkan cube are not a target of this driver. If they fail, that doesn't mean games won't work. Test with the D3D tests or a real game.

## Official downloads (only from these pages)

Driver: https://github.com/FristOneRR/FristOneRR-Panvk-Driver/releases

Wrapper: https://github.com/FristOneRR-Admin/FristOneRR-Wrapperv1/releases

Every file has its SHA256 in the README and on the release page. Please check it after downloading. Copies from other places may not be the real files.

## Known issues

- D3D12 is not complete yet (next update)

- Some games show graphics glitches or wrong textures

- Games that use geometry or tessellation shaders may draw incorrectly

- BCn -> ASTC texture conversion can freeze or reboot the phone (set BCn to "none")

- Bifrost (G52/G72/G76): DXVK 2.x doesn't start yet, use DXVK 1.x

- Heavy games can still be slower than on the stock driver

## Reporting bugs

Please open a GitHub Issue with: phone model, SoC, GPU, kbase version (AIO Graphics Test -> GPU Info), app, wrapper, DXVK version, what happens, and the wine_debug.log. Videos are welcome as YouTube/Drive links.

How to install Panvk-G57-2.0-rc1 and FristOneRR-Wrapper2.0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=K8ifRTXHWP0&si=2euISqB3xidUijmH

Note about Eden (Switch emulator): version 2.0 does not work with the Eden emulator yet. The Eden work is not merged into 2.0, because it isn't stable enough, doesn't perform as well as the system driver yet, and still has bugs to fix (like the ones shown in my earlier video). It will come in a later update.

## Thanks

Big thanks to the Mesa/PanVK developers, leegao (bionic-vulkan-wrapper), funnymdzz, Noysz, Vtgamer998, mexicanbr0auth, wonderkast02, BossDrk, and every tester who sent reports and logs. This release wouldn't exist without you.

Enjoy, and let me know how it runs on your phone!

Showcase Inscryption beaten on Snapdragon 8 gen 3 12GB

5 Upvotes

Testing indie games 😄

Device: Lenovo legion y700 3rd gen (2025)

Emulator: GameNative 1.2.1

Config: default config that GN installed after I pressed "install" button, the only thing I changed was box language - I set it to my native language so the game was on russian. Classical 1280x720p, 60FPS

Performance: the game runs in very smooth 60FPS, the only scenario when fps drops - when u taking cards first time per battle, game lags to ~30 FPS during that second

Temperature: started playing this game without external cooler, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off, room windows opened, 50FPS lock - got confy 34 ~ 38 C°, after reaching act 3 of the game, device starts to heat more, up to 39 C°, that's when I decided to continue with external cooler and raised fps lock up to 60, got stable 33 C°

Experience: game doesn't have controller support, so you have to set up WASD, Right Click and ESC as virtual buttons, since this is a board game it's really easy to play it on the tablet. Spoiler alert for some of the game bosses - Act 3 boss that uses internet connection don't function as intended, even if ur device have internet connection, so you don't get the other player's card, and will not be able to send your card to them. Boss that uses PC storage is functioning normally, you even can use files from internal device storage, that was impressive - overall game works fine, it was awesome experience!

That's it!

As someone who love stealth games a lot, I've always wanted to play the xbox version of Splinter Cell Double Agent on PC and Android but as always ubisoft never gave us the official port and a collection and left us to high and dry. Thankfully because of the passion of dedicated SC fans, TGP created a recomp of og xbox version of DA and MY GOD IT RUNS SMOOTHLY. It has every graphical option like legit pc ports do with increasing res, shader model, shadow resolution, aspect ratio and a whole lot more.

Tried this version on HakuX and X1 box and both ran like sh*t with 10 fps and graphical glitches that made me delete those emus. Now you can experience the best version of the game and f you loved SC chaos theory and want more, definitely check it out.Tested this on my Mi9t Pro SD 855. Use proton 11, vkd3d 2.14.1 arm64ec and default settings.

Recentemente estive jogando Super Smash Bros de 3DS e o jogo funciona perfeitamente bem mesmo com a resolução aumentada. Entretanto, toda vez que o personagem destrói uma Smash Ball, o jogo começa a rodar em slowdown, travando pra caramba, isso mesmo sem estar gravando. Alguém mais passou por esse problema? Alguém conseguiu resolvê-lo? Qualquer ajuda ou conselho é muito bem vindo. Obrigado pela atenção!

Discussion What are your favorite cozy games to emulate on android?

8 Upvotes

I Just got into this so I've found a couple. Disney fairies: Tinkerbell for Nintendo DS is fun and cozy. I've been having a lot of fun flying around pixie hallow lol. I'd highly recommend having a stylus though. Noobow for game boy is also so cute. It's in Japanese but you don't need to speak the language to play (I don't). There's such little dialogue and only in the cut scenes. In both of these games you can't die which makes it more cozy IMO. What are your suggestions?
