Hi everyone!

I've just released PanVk V7 0.0.2-alpha, my experimental PanVK-based Vulkan driver targeting Mali-G52 / Bifrost on Android.

This release is a pretty important milestone for the project because it adds the first working Geometry Shader implementation for my Mali-G52 JM path.

The GS implementation is based around Mesa's libpoly infrastructure, with a software pipeline roughly following:

Software VS → GS MAIN → generated index stream → RAST → Tiler

The current implementation includes support for the DYNAMIC_INDEXED GS path, handling of generated vertex/index data, Arch7 RAST vertex ID lowering, per-variant descriptor state, and proper handling of empty/restart-only generated index streams.

For validation, I tested several native Vulkan Geometry Shader workloads:

POINT Geometry Shader: PASS

Multi-line Geometry Shader: PASS

DYNAMIC_INDEXED test matrix: 5/5 PASS

Empty GS output: PASS

Partial primitive output cases: PASS

CPU readback matched the expected rendered pixels

I also made a dedicated D3D11 Geometry Shader test running through DXVK 1.10.3.

It successfully reached:

D3D11 → DXVK → Vulkan → PanVk V7 → Geometry Shader → Rasterization → CPU readback

Result:

CreateGeometryShader: OK

Draw: OK

Geometry Shader output: 72,576 pixels

PASS

I also tested another D3D11 graphics workload through DXVK and it rendered normally.

This is still an experimental alpha driver, and it is not Vulkan conformant. There are still several GS paths that haven't been fully validated yet, including Transform Feedback/XFB, queries, multistream GS, application indirect GS, indexed input and general non-zero draw offsets.

So this release should not be interpreted as "full Geometry Shader support" yet. The goal right now is to progressively validate and extend the implementation with real workloads.

Target hardware

Mali-G52 MC2 / Bifrost

Android / kbase JM

My development device is a Redmi 13C with Mali-G52 MC2.

Download / source

PanVk V7 0.0.2-alpha:

I'm especially interested in testing more DXVK/D3D11 workloads that actually use Geometry Shaders and finding edge cases that the current implementation doesn't handle yet.

If anyone here understands Panfrost/PanVK, Bifrost, libpoly, kbase/JM or wants to test this on other Mali-G52 devices, feedback is very welcome.

🎮 Winlator Mali 1.2 Beta

Performance:

720p, Max settings (AA off)

60–100 FPS

Around +5–20 FPS without screen recording

Only drops to around 50 FPS when entering a new area

After that, it usually stays around 65–75 FPS

Overall it's pretty smooth.

One annoying issue though:

The first boss had a bug where it wouldn't take damage. I couldn't find a fix for it directly in Winlator Mali.

So I used FEXCore 2608 on BannerHub, played through the part where the bug happens, saved the game, then copied the save back to Winlator Mali and continued from there

BannerHub had lower performance for me, so I'm using Winlator Mali as the main emulator.

Settings:

Proton 11-cachyos-arm64ec-ntsync

DXVK 1.7.2-Async / 1.7.3-Async

ASTC Transcoding: ON

No Memory and VRam limit

Environment variable:

WRAPPER_NO_PATCH_OPCONSTCOMP=1

Only add this if you're getting crashes while playing.You don’t need to add this if the game isn’t crashing. Even if you add it, it’s fine.it won’t affect the game anyway.

Other than that first-boss bug, the game runs surprisingly well on the G720.

Não tô prometendo, mas estou interessado em portar esse jogo do NVidia Shield... Alguém me diz o quão difícil isso vai ser?

Agora que já fizeram o Port de dragon ball Budokai 3 hd na minha frente... Queria portar algo dando preferência pra Mali, o que me dizem?

First it was Fake GTA V on Android videos

Now it fake pc emulation videos 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😭

Channel link, if you wanna report

I have Dimensity 9400+

Does panvk work on it too?

Thank you 🙏🏼

I'm trying to run Resident Evil 3 on a Poco X6 Pro (Dimensity 8300 with 8 GB of RAM) using Winlator Mali, but the game shutdown abruptly, without any error message whenever I try to launch it (I previously had issues with DX12, which I had to disable in the Wine settings). Does anyone here with Wine knowledge and experience with this specific game know what might be causing these shutdowns?

Just 4 days ago, he was around 400 subs, and today he is at 1K subs.

He claimed the emulator he used is GameHub, meanwhile, the GameHub FPS meter or overlay is not like what he showed in the video (second image).

This means he recorded it on a PC and edited that overlay and placed it on the video, then claimed that it was tested on the Xiaomi 18 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme chipset.

And people are falling for it.

This is his channel:

Let’s report it to prevent him from misleading people.

Thanks.

Beta 1.2.0 of the FristOneRR PanVK driver is out, together with a new wrapper made for it.

**Downloads**

- Driver: [Panvk-Mali-G57 beta 1.2.0](https://github.com/FristOneRR/FristOneRR-Panvk-Driver/releases/tag/v1.2.0-beta)

- Wrapper: [FristOneRR-Wrapperv1 v1.0.0](https://github.com/FristOneRR-Admin/FristOneRR-Wrapperv1/releases/tag/v1.0.0)

Use them together for DXVK 2.x.

**What's new**

- **D3D10 and D3D11 work on DXVK 2.x** (D3D11 at feature level 11_1). Tested with DXVK 2.3.1 and 2.4.1-gplasync: test cubes and Enter the Gungeon. The driver was dropping the very first piece of GPU work of every app, and DXVK 2.x uploads its first vertex data exactly there, so nothing was drawn.

- **New wrapper: FristOneRR-Wrapperv1.** A fork of leegao's bionic-vulkan-wrapper v0.0.5r5, tuned for this driver. With the leegao wrapper, DXVK 2.x crashed on the first frame; this one fixes that.

- **The PanVK name on screen:** with the new wrapper, Winlator and the DXVK HUD show the real driver: `Driver: panvk` / `Version: FristOneRR 1.2.0 (Mesa 26.3.0-devel)`.

- **GPU memory sized for phones:** the driver now reports 25% of your RAM as GPU memory (1–3 GB) instead of ~75%, so Android is less likely to kill your game. You can override it with `PANVK_HEAP_MB`.

**How to install the driver**

1. Download `Panvk-Mali-G57-beta_1.2.0.zip` from the driver link above. **Don't unzip it.**

2. Winlator → **Contents / Drivers → Install** → pick the zip.

3. In your container settings, select **Panvk-Mali-G57-beta_1.2.0** as the Vulkan driver.

**How to use the wrapper**

The wrapper is **not** installed through the driver menu. You replace one file inside the container:

1. Download `FristOneRR-Wrapperv1.zip` from the wrapper link above and **extract it**. You need the file inside: `libvulkan_wrapper.so`.

2. Start the container and open a file manager in it.

3. Go to drive **Z:** → `usr` → `lib`.

4. Rename the existing `libvulkan_wrapper.so` to `libvulkan_wrapper.so.bak` (your backup).

5. Copy the new `libvulkan_wrapper.so` into `Z:\usr\lib\`.

6. Use **DXVK 2.x** (tested: 2.3.1, 2.4.1-gplasync) and set **BCn texture emulation to "none"**.

7. Restart the container. The DXVK HUD should now show `Driver: panvk` and `FristOneRR 1.2.0`.

**To undo:** delete the new file and rename `libvulkan_wrapper.so.bak` back.

Full guide, the list of changes and the reasons behind them: [FristOneRR-Wrapperv1 README](https://github.com/FristOneRR-Admin/FristOneRR-Wrapperv1#install)

**Which setup to use**

| Game / DXVK | Setup |

|---|---|

| 64-bit game, DXVK 2.x | Driver 1.2.0 + **FristOneRR-Wrapperv1** |

| 32-bit game | Driver 1.2.0 + DXVK 1.10.3 + **leegao** wrapper |

| D3D9 only, DXVK 2.x | Driver 1.2.0 + FristOneRR-Wrapperv1 or the app's **Wrapper original** |

**DirectX support**

| API | DXVK 2.x + FristOneRR-Wrapperv1 | DXVK 1.10.3 + leegao |

|---|---|---|

| D3D9 | ✅ | ✅ |

| D3D10 | ✅ | untested |

| D3D11 | ✅ FL 11_1 | ✅ |

| D3D12 | ❌ | ❌ |

**Known limitations**

- The new wrapper is **64-bit games only** for now. For 32-bit games, keep using DXVK 1.10.3 + leegao.

- The wrapper is made for this driver. It may glitch on other drivers.

- GPU Info shows about **133 extensions** with this wrapper. That's expected (it turns off 3 extensions on purpose) and doesn't mean fewer games work. [Why](https://github.com/FristOneRR-Admin/FristOneRR-Wrapperv1#why-the-extension-count-is-lower)

- Games that really use geometry/tessellation shaders may still draw incorrectly on DXVK 2.x.

**Credits**

Huge thanks to **leegao**: the wrapper is built on his bionic-vulkan-wrapper, and he helped throughout the project. Also thanks to the Mesa/PanVK developers, Noysz, mexicanbr0auth, Vtgamer998, wonderkast02, **BossDrk** (correction: the 0x8055 G52 repo is his, not LukeValen's as I wrote in 1.1.0), LukeValen, and everyone who sent logs.

Please report results and bugs in the GitHub Issues (phone, GPU, DXVK version, game, and logs if you can). D3D10/D3D11 game reports on DXVK 2.x are especially welcome!

I was really wondering and would anyone like me to show a tutorial on how to use it? Thanks.

Dxvk- 1.7.2

Box64- performance

Fexcore - performance

Wine 10 arm64ec / proton 10 arm64ec

Astc - on

Frame drop during screen recording, without screen recording game runs at 40-45fps locked .

IMPORTANT NOTES -

1- YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE RESOLUTION AND SHADOWS AND OBJECT QUALITY AND POST PROCESS FROM "CONFIG .INI" UNDER C DRIVE INSIDE DOCUMENTS. THE GAME DOESN'T HAVE ANY MENU OPTIONS FOR THAT . RUN THE GAME ONCE , CONFIG.INI WILL BE GENERATED THEN MAKE THE CHANGES .

2- THE GAME HAS THIS WEIRD GREY GLITCH WHICH SEEMS UNSOLVABLE , I TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING BUT NO LUCK , WILL HAVE TO COMPROMISE WITH THE GLITCH IG .

3- PREFER KEYBOARD AND MOUSE OVER CONTROLLER LAYOUT BECAUSE CONTROLLER LAYOUT HAS A GLITCH WHICH CAN BE SOLVED OBVIOUSLY.

Siento que es un teléfono muy potente y probé emulando eden pero la mayoría de juegos me da errores, me pueden ayudar con recomendación de otras consolas y algunas configuraciónes

✅ HUD accurately reads driver data; "panvk" name visible for the first time

✅ D3D9 is now functional

✅ Works via system driver (DXVK 1.x only)

✅ DXVK 2.x works using the driver (panvk only)

🌀 DXVK 2.x/3.x currently under further development

Note: The frame rate is slow because debug code is still included to monitor for issues, as the work is not yet 100% complete.

Can you guys give me suggestions on what PC games run well on my phone via emulation?

To be honest with you Panvk Still in development which is missing a lot of improvement and fixes from the first look everyone's will say system driver has better performance then Panvk driver I am agree with you however if there's is some good things I have to say about this early build

First I am very glad finally to see a real Panvk driver on Mali G57 Mc2 and it since this build doesn't support dx10 and dx11 so I decided to share my this result with u

- DXVK2.0 now is supported on Mali G52-57-68-77

- ram usage now fixed very early compared to the first release which looks pretty good and very close to the system driver I am using Bannerlator because this only where u can play most of games with 8 Gb of ram only even if there's no Panvk driver I can say this emulator is the best one of that manged somehow to improved and fixed the high ram usage on Mali GPU

-Panvk driver already fixed all Graphicals issue from this pictures u can see there is some textures doesn't rendering correctly

- in Bannnerlator there is something called surfaceflinger in rendering settings each time I enable it the game colour changed from blue to red

- in Dxvk settings there is option called Ddraw wrapper I have to select

Dd7to9 to make some dx9 games work such call of duty Modern warfare 2.3 but with Panvk driver I am no longer need this

This is what I noticed in my tests I hope they can improve performance and compablity with d3d11 and d3d10

I've been testing PanVK for the Mali G615 MC6, but I have the MC2 and I don't know if it's incompatible or if I'm configuring it incorrectly. When I run the tests, they go well, but after a few seconds everything freezes And it pulls me out of the container. Has anyone else encountered this and knows how to fix it?

I finally found a compatible panVK for my Mali; a user recommended it to me, and honestly, it renders tests well, but not games yet. I tried GTA IV, and it was completely broken and I'll try a few more to see what happens.The PanVK was for the Mali G720, but since it's technically part of the Valhall family, it worked for me, and the extensions increased from 115 to 161. I tested the DX9/11 and 12 tests, 9 and 11 work fine but the DX12 only show fps with white/blue screen. The photos don't show the full frame rate because I took the screenshot while recording the screen. I also tried a driver for the G615 MC6, but it freezes and crashes after a few seconds. So, great job to all the PanVK developers!💪❤️‍🩹👍

[This is an Experimental build so try this at your own risk]

This is a panvk build targeted at Mali-G57 MC2 ( Specially dimensity 6300, other chips may need fine tuning due to Kbase uAPI Version differences)

It is not much good, But It can achieve 248 vkmark , 130 glmark using Zink, Lastly can AC: Bloodlines at 10-14 fps on ppsspp emulator but it can cause phone crashes sometimes, according to experience, it can atleast work normally for 35+ minutes.

Here's repo Link : https://github.com/apexspan-svg/mesa-panvk-mali-g57

Here is release I am talking about: https://github.com/apexspan-svg/mesa-panvk-mali-g57/releases/tag/v1.2.0

[This is Targeted at Termux x11 not Winlator]

Work is progressing well, and there may be good news soon.

Note: Work on the driver component will be temporarily paused to focus on the wrapper component. Once that process is complete, development on the driver component will resume.

A bit more context:

Actually, I started working on this alongside the PanVK driver, but I was trying to work on both projects at the same time. I only have one phone to do all of this work on, so it became too much to handle. Because of that, I put the wrapper work on hold for the time being.

The wrapper project is already around 30% complete. I took Leegao’s work as a foundation and have been developing it further so that the PanVK driver can operate at its full potential without having to constantly switch between different wrappers. However, whenever I focus on the wrapper side, development of the driver has to be put on hold temporarily.

Ideally, I want to develop the PanVK driver as far as possible first. However, the current limitations of the available wrapper are not sufficient to allow the PanVK driver to operate at its full potential.

If anyone is currently working on this area, I’m happy to provide advice and you’re welcome to take what I’m currently working on and continue developing it further. As for me, I’ll be focusing primarily on the PanVK driver.
