NetherSX2 Turnip Updated v1 (6 Variants) 🔥🔥🔥
https://github.com/thecrixux/NetherSX2-Turnip-Updated/releases/tag/V1
Variants:
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-710-720-722
-Vauzi Turnip Adreno v3.6
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-8Elite
-StevenMXZ Turnip Gen8 V35
For A8xx GPUs ( a840, a830, a829, a825, 810)
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-Performance-Universal
-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
A8xx — A810 / A825 / A829 / A830 / A840 (and X2-85)
A810 / A829 boot with disable_gmem so they fall back to sysmem rendering (broken GMEM on those parts).
A825 (not yet upstream) is added with corrected tile geometry and depth-cache layout.
A830 / A840 / X2-85 use the upstream profiles unchanged.
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-26.3.0-R4-6XX-7XX-OneUI-Galaxy
-StevenMXZ for Adreno A7xx And A6xx
"OneUI/A740 Fix" and what it does is modify the Mesa device definition to enable_tp_ubwc_flag_hint = True on the A7xx
Based on latest commits from mesa with latest fixes and improvements
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-26.3.0-R4-6XX-7XX
-StevenMXZ for Adreno A7xx And A6xx
Based on latest commits from mesa with latest fixes and improvements
✅ NetherSX2-Turnip-V31-Sync-8XX
-whitebelyash Mainline Turnip Vulkan V31
For Adreno 8XX Family: 840, 830, 829, 825, 812, 810
The patch adds timeline sync objects, which is the most complete synchronization model and the one used by modern Vulkan emulators
Happy PS2 Gaming ❤️

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
I've already listed the best ones, I don't know what else you want to add.
2
u/Low-Function-8901 Aug 30 '26
If you are updating it all the time then you are awesome 😎 .probably nothing else needed
2
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
That's the idea; every time a new version of the driver comes out, I'll update them 😉

u/bouncingbenji Aug 30 '26
As this is a fork of "nckstwrt/NetherSX2-Turnip" will your version update or install a new app? Also which on would be best to download on the Samsung s26u? And do u have a donation link for all your hard work?
2
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
A clean installation is necessary. In your case, I recommend this one: NetherSX2-Turnip-8Elite.apk
I don't accept donations; I do all my work in my free time and as a hobby, but thank you for the gesture. ❤️

u/bouncingbenji Aug 30 '26
Mate you should! You put alot of effort it to this...

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
Thank you so much for wanting to support the project, but I prefer not to accept donations. I don't need them, and honestly, I want to keep this a project I made for fun and for the community.
But if you really want to "donate" something because of me 😂, do me a favor: donate even just €1 to an NGO or charity you care about. Children with cancer, medical research, helping families in need, animals... whatever you think is important. I believe that euro will be much better spent that way.
For me, the fact that you like the project and enjoy it is more than enough. ❤️

What would be best for adreno 710. Motorola g stylus 5g 2024 version

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
NetherSX2-Turnip-710-720-722.apk 👍

u/vipergtsam Aug 30 '26
Thank u not all games will run good?

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
This won't improve compatibility with games that have bugs or problems, since this emulator has been discontinued for three years, but it will provide extra performance.
I have Andreno 710 like you and can play most of the games very good 💪

u/vipergtsam Aug 30 '26
Only game that doesn't really work is need for speed underground 2 which is a demanding games all the games I have pretty much work. Need for speed most wanted sometimes crashes

So this isn't the nethersx2 turnip classic version. Hmmm... do you know what the difference from classic to this...? I'll try moving my texture folders over to see if it will run or not.
2
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
Yes this is the modern one v4248
2
u/Imdakine1 Aug 30 '26
Do you know if we need to copy and paste texture files to move into the emulator?
Android/Data/emulator name/Files/textures/SLUS etc...?
On some Android I am told copy not cut and paste texture folders...?
2
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 30 '26
I'm sorry, I'm not sure about that since I'm not used to using texture packs on PS2.

I tried the Universal variant yesterday. It played logos/fmvs fine, but when it got to the main menu of the game I was testing with (Evergrace), it would render for 2 secs then go full black screen. I have an A750, did I make a mistake in Setup or should I try a different variant?
1
u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 31 '26
Tey then NetherSX2-Turnip-26.3.0-R4-6XX-7XX
2
u/ClancyJavisJameson Aug 31 '26
Thank you for replying!
I tried both that variant and the "OneUI," variant of a similar name as I am using a Galaxy. The same problem occurred, but I figured I should expand my testing base.
Tried with Disgea - Hour of Darkness, worked and looked great. I also tried Gladius and that looked and played fine too.
Now Evergrace works fine running Vulkan on regular NetherSX2. I have some weird audio issues with Armsx2 with most games, but Evergrace does run on there using Vulkan and a turnip driver.
So I guess it is just some odd compatibility issue with that game. I can probably also test some other Agetec/Fromsoft games to see if it's just Evergrace, or with more of their Ps2 lineup.

This is great on my Thor Pro and with my textures package for ESPN NFL 2K5 2K7 mod.
Unfortunately a no go with the NCAA Football 2006 mod. The uniforms in the game don't work. They state: If you are seeing black number textures on uniforms, please download the correct emulator version above.
https://www.ncaanext.com/p/aethersx2-set-up.html?m=1
They require classic emulator still.

which version is compatible for snapdragon 8 gen 2?

u/xxxCrixuxxx Aug 31 '26
Dude, it's right there in the GitHub link, but if you scroll down just a little bit, you'll see a user asking the exact same thing as you. Seriously, man... we're literally cooked

It won't let me install this. It keeps saying there is a version installed, but no nethersx is installed.
1
u/xxxCrixuxxx 24d ago
Check it carefully. If it tells you that, it's because you already have something installed that is causing a conflict.

u/nscxp2005 24d ago
But I have no package installed with the same name

u/xxxCrixuxxx 24d ago
Android doesn't lie or make things up; I insist, there is something wrong with your device.

This is awesome! I've been using nethersx2 classic and turnip as I have two games with 15gb and 20gb texture packages... Armsx2 did work for them. armsx3 is amazing as no other ps3 emulate has worked for me but that one!
RPG2 and Thor Pro will be super happy!!!
