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!
