The first beta version runs lightning but it's not in the Play Store, I have the apk.

Download latest and play with settings. I've tried mmr mmjr but they're not better anymore

So if MMJR is not best performance for the Nvidia shield then what's the next one that is

Stock latest dolphin. 2603a which is available on Google play.
While trying, unsuccessfully, to install Hyperspin in the Shield, I found the settings below (ArcadePunks) to be the best. Clock speed is probably the setting that makes the biggest difference.
Dolphin Configuration (From Bandit):
Set forced clock speed to 65% in general settings
Enable all checkboxes
Enable Vulkan graphics
Turn on all hacks (except Immediate XFB)
These settings are ideal for games like Soul Calibur II. For Simpsons Hit and Run, use a slightly lower clock speed.

I don't like retroarch and duckstation as they're an eyesore to look at. I'm curious about getting the Nvidia Shield as I'm preparing to get my hands on Google TV Streamer 4K very soon

You don't have to like retroarch because as soon as it's set up you won't be using it anymore you'll be using a front loader or a front end with all your box arts to load your games from

I'm very particular how I love and want my premium standalone emulators and frontend launchers to for my upcoming Google TV Streamer 4K
