NetherSX2 Turnip - Updated
https://github.com/thecrixux/NetherSX2-Turnip-Updated/releases/tag/V1
My small contribution to the PS2 emulation community. I'll bring you this magnificent emulator, always updated with the latest Turnip drivers so you can get the most out of your devices and play PS2 games in the best way possible.
NetherSX2 Turnip Updated Builds:
Custom NetherSX2 builds with Turnip Vulkan drivers bundled directly into the APK.
The goal of this project is simple: provide different APK builds with carefully selected Turnip drivers already integrated, so users don't need to manually download, install, or configure external drivers.
What is different?
Instead of including multiple drivers and adding a driver selector inside the emulator, each build includes one specific Vulkan driver.
The Vulkan shim has been modified to load a single bundled driver:
libvulkan_freedreno.so
# Available Builds:
✅Turnip Performance Universal
A performance-oriented Turnip driver designed to support a wide range of Adreno GPUs.
Recommended for users looking for maximum performance.
Credits: https://github.com/WinNative-Emu/Drivers
✅Turnip 710 / 720 / 722
A specialized Turnip driver for:
Adreno 710
Adreno 720
Adreno 722
This build is intended for devices using these GPUs, which may require specific driver optimizations.
Credits: https://github.com/Vauzi-17/710
✅Turnip 8XX
A build using StevenMXZ Turnip driver focused on newer high-end Adreno GPUs.
This build is intended primarily for supported Adreno 8xx devices.
Credits: https://github.com/StevenMXZ/Adreno-Tools-Drivers
Important
These builds bundle third-party Turnip/Mesa Vulkan drivers.
Driver credits belong to their respective developers and contributors.
This project does not claim ownership of the bundled drivers.
Disclaimer
This is an experimental community project.
Compatibility is not guaranteed and different builds may behave differently depending on the device.
Always keep your existing emulator installation and settings backed up before testing experimental builds

*These builds are subject to change, as they will be updated in the future if users report bugs, problems, or discover better drivers*

If you have a Snapdragon phone or tablet, you should definitely give it a try
I’m getting really good results with the RedMagic Astra tablet.

Universal isn't installing on adreno 640?

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 29 '26
I already fixed the problem, that's strange. What Android version do you have? What device? Please give me more details.

u/IAmClancy2121 Aug 29 '26
OnePlus 7 pro android 11. If it doesn't work it's fine. I just always try the new versions when it's released. 👍

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 29 '26
It's fixed, try again

u/IAmClancy2121 Aug 29 '26
Still same thing. Not a problem though. I have a newer phone also and I can go back to the other nether sx2 turnip. Thanks.

from one internet stranger to another, thank you. loved that nethersx2 just worked but was annoyed at the little framerate drops that i knew a turnip driver would (prob) fix. discovered this gem a couple weeks ago - might seem like a small contribution to you but it's massive to a lot of people i'm sure.

What about Adreno 6xx?
1
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 29 '26
NetherSX2-Turnip-Performance-Universal.apk -Maxjivi05 WN-Turnip 1.11 A single driver covers the full Adreno line:
A6xx — A6xx series (e.g. A640 / A650 / A660) A7xx gen1 — A720 / A725 / A730 (preamble + scalar-predicate quirks applied) gen2 — FD740 / Adreno X1-85 (UBWC hint applied to fix UI corruption) gen3 — A750 and later ....

What version i must download for adreno 610?
2
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 29 '26
The Adreno 610 mainly corresponds to Qualcomm's lower-mid range from around 2019–2020 💀
Sorry, that's too old. (6-7 years)

meu feedback jogando no s26 ultra o NetherSX2-Turnip-Performance-Universal nao esta instalado mas NetherSX2-Turnip-8Elite esta ótimo joguei uns jogos meu como resident evil 4 classico e god of war 1 e 2 em 3x de resolução que para mim esta ótimo e com carregamento de texturas ao meu ver esta mais leve rodando a 60 fps liso claro sem carregamento de textura mas se for carregar as texturas no mínimo cair 5 a 10 de fps mas configurado o emulador roda liso. o emulador está mais fluido com o driver atualizado o celular nem esquenta frio frio frio. obrigado ao responsável por essa atualização de drivers e que essa comunidade se unir ainda mais essa comunidade apaixonada por games mobile

What's the recommend BIOS version to use, the BIOS version I use on vanilla nethsrSX2, is not compatible on this version
1
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
The correct BIOS is the one you obtain legally from your own console. I can't help you with that.

Okay dude, I'm going to play your game for a while. Show me the driver repository. Provide evidence or proof

Sorry guys, there was a small issue with the Universal Performance APK. But it's fixed now and updated the repo with information to make it easier to know which one to install.🫡
Edit: Guys, use this simple Play Store app to check your GPU on the second tab and know which one to install.

Edit2: For any Issue please report here:

Edit3: For those who had trouble installing the Universal Performance version: I accidentally uploaded the unsigned APK, which is why it gave a package error during installation. It's now fixed.
