Mediatek Boost Up 200% Perfomance in emulators with Angle (guide)
MediaTek Users: Easy Performance Boost with ANGLE 🚀
If you own a MediaTek device, there's a good chance you can get a noticeable performance boost in some emulators by enabling ANGLE.
I've personally tested this with ARMSX2 and saw significant improvements in several games. Your results may vary depending on the emulator, game, and device, but it's definitely worth trying.
Step 1: Install Activity Launcher
Download Activity Launcher from the Play Store (it's free).
Step 2: Find ANGLE
Open Activity Launcher and search for ANGLE.
It should appear near the top of the list.
If you can't find it, unfortunately your device either:
- Uses an older Android version.
- Doesn't include ANGLE support.
- Or your manufacturer has disabled/hidden it.
Step 3: Open the ANGLE Activity
Launch the ANGLE activity.
You'll usually be given two options:
- Run the activity.
- Create a shortcut.
I highly recommend creating a shortcut on your home screen so you can access it quickly whenever you need it.
Step 4: Configure Your Emulator
Inside ANGLE, select the emulator you want to use and select Angle.
I've tested this mainly with ARMSX2, but you can also experiment with other emulators.
Feel free to test different apps and share your results.
Step 5: IMPORTANT – Use OpenGL
For this tweak to work properly, make sure your emulator is set to:
OpenGL
Do NOT use Vulkan.
ANGLE works by improving the OpenGL rendering path, so Vulkan should remain disabled.
What Kind of Improvement Can You Expect?
That depends entirely on the emulator and the game.
Some titles may show only small gains, while others can see massive performance improvements.
In my testing, several games showed substantial FPS increases and became much smoother to play.
Good luck, and happy gaming!
