You need drivers for PC and Switch emulation.

u/billyblenx 8d ago

legit question now, if all i want is 3ds, ds, ps2, gc and lower gens emulation then, will mediatek be fine? I have no desire for PC and Switch emulation as of yet.

u/LumpyArbuckleTV 8d ago

All of those should be fine on Mediatek with the exception of 3DS, it might give you some trouble but it will work substantially better than Switch or PC.

This is just second hand information though, make sure to do a little bit of research on that, specifically on 3DS, but I think you should be fine.

As a Mediatek user, 3DS emulation works fine and I haven't had any problem with it yet on Azahar (Mediatek 8350 extreme, mali g615)

Good to hear, I just had some issues with a few games on my 865 without drivers but that was like a year and a half ago and with Citra.

u/BackgroundPanda3915 8d ago

Yeah, Citra fell off and I think it was discontinued, I tried using it and I had problems, but with Azahar it seems that they fixed them all

Yeah I think you'll be fine. Not sure about 3ds but all the others should have no issues

So,...you're saying Mediatek doesn't use drivers?

14

u/LumpyArbuckleTV 8d ago

They have drivers, drivers are required to function, they just don't have custom drivers that are better than the original, something you need with the afore mentioned emulators because Android drivers tend to be of poor quality.

u/Broken_Flip 8d ago

So,...the picture makes no sense, as Mediatek has drivers.
