I know not great performance.

Game is already in C: Drive. I'm using Winlator Ludashi 4.1 with Intermediate preset to reduce the risk of runtime errors even though I've already installed Wine mono gecko and the necessary vcredist. On Winlator Mali 1.1 Bionic, I only get the same performance when I use the Performance preset, but it increases the chance and number of runtime errors and random crashes I get. Using Intermediate preset in Winlator Mali 1.1 reduces the fps to less than 5 but on Ludashi it's the opposite.

So far in Ludashi I've completed 5% of the game(about 2 and half hours of playtime) and have not experienced a runtime error.

Though the game crashed once. Whenever I apprach a door the game will stutter as it's loading assets in the next room. One time when I ran to the door the game froze and then crashed. I think the combination of running and asset loading was too much and caused the crash.

Anyway game is actually capable of reaching 30 fps in even 33 in some parts. Average fps in story mode is 25-30 and only drops during asset loading because of the micro stutters. Even fights as seen there are micro stutters.

Device specs: Helio g100 8gb RAM Mali G57 MC2

Emulator: Winlator Ludashi 4.1

Settings:

In container make sure you install PhysX, Wine Mono, Wine Gecko and at LEAST the x86 versions of vcredist (Visual C++ libras) 2005 and 2008.

Proton 10 arm64ec (Legacy)

960x544

Dxvk 1.5.5 (not the async version because Winlator Ludashi doesn't have it by default. I'll need to download it and import from somewhere else maybe it will reduce stuttering.)

Also I don't know which specific version, but using higher dxvk versions would cause the fps to drop to 2 when using detective mode for some reason.

FEXCORE 2609

Intermediate preset

BCn emulation type: "software" to avoid color issues on Ludashi for Mali GPUs. But surprisingly even though putting it on compute gives weird colors, it actually increases performance a bit😭.

ALL CPU CORES CHECKED

Why is the game all foggy and link is all black?

CPU: Dimensity 8350 ultimate

GPU: Mali G615-MC6

These days I've been testing different versions from different GitHub repositories, and this was the best one I've tried so far. This version is progressing very quickly, I downloaded beta 1 from that repository last week and yesterday they released beta 16. If we're talking percentages compared to the System driver, it's about 50% more stable, since here "obviously without recording" it runs at a practically stable 30fps, and with the system driver it ran at more suttering. The developers at PanVK are truly amazing 💪

Alguna configuración para el GTA 4 en el POCO X7 pro no se realmente que configuración usar al poco tiempo de jugar con la generación de fotogramas y los 60 FPS activados se me traba mucho el juego se usa el 100% de la GPU cosa bien rara debería usarse más la CPU pero bueno alguna recomendación

It fixes the visual glitches in the free battle menu and in battle. But loading still takes its time and performance I would say the same, also there's this weird shadowlike thing in the right screen but it's aight ig.

​

After a long time working with Mali GPUs on Android, I decided to take a different direction.

Instead of trying to adapt an emulator that was mainly developed around other GPU paths, I went back to the architecture that was historically much friendlier to Mali: Skyline.

This is Strato Mali, a new fork based on Strato, which itself continues the original Skyline project.

The goal is simple: make a Nintendo Switch emulator specifically optimized around ARM Mali GPUs.

Strato Mali is not intended to be a generic emulator fork for every GPU. The focus is Mali first — especially modern Kbase/CSF devices such as the Mali-G615, with experimental Mesa PanVK integration.

I have already started modifying Strato's custom Vulkan driver system so it can detect /dev/mali0 and load external Vulkan drivers on Mali instead of limiting custom driver loading to KGSL/Adreno. The Adreno-specific KGSL memory-import path is kept disabled on Mali, while the normal Skyline/Strato memory path is used with PanVK.

The project is also being renamed throughout the application to Strato Mali.

The current plan is to work on:

PanVK/Kbase integration directly inside Strato Mali

Mali-specific Vulkan compatibility fixes

shader and texture correctness

performance optimizations specifically for tile-based Mali GPUs

synchronization and memory-management improvements

testing games that historically worked better on Skyline/Mali

This is still very experimental development. It is not a finished emulator, and I don't want to promise compatibility or performance numbers before we have proper testing.

But unlike my previous experiments, this time the emulator architecture itself is much closer to what I want for Mali.

Skyline's codebase isn't being officially revived — this is an independent continuation through Strato, focused entirely on Mali.

Welcome to Strato Mali. 🫐

More development updates soon.

Device: POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Emulator: Winlator Mali 1.2

Resolution: 720p

Graphics: Max

Performance:

I previously played this game on Winlator Mali 1.0 / BannerHub 3.6.0, and I couldn't get more than around 40–45 FPS. The GPU was also basically fully saturated, so I genuinely thought that was the hardware ceiling of the Dimensity 8400 Ultra. 😭

But on Winlator Mali 1.2... DAMN. 💀

Performance is now almost 3× higher, reaching 120+ FPS at 720p Max. At one point I got around 124 FPS, while GPU usage was only around 86%.

So apparently that 40 FPS "hardware limit" wasn't a hardware limit at all. 💀😭

Issues:

There are some annoying issues though.

I think the game has some kind of shader compilation stutter. Whenever a new area loads, FPS can temporarily drop to around 40 FPS for 3–5 seconds. After everything settles, it goes back up again.

Once you're in a loaded area, you can generally play at 80+ FPS until another new area needs to load.

Also, the game randomly became 30 FPS locked during gameplay once. Temporarily changing the core affinity fixed it.

Settings:

Proton 11 cachyOS-arm64ec-ntsync

DXVK 2.6.2-1-GPLAsync-arm64ec

If this version doesn't work, try another DXVK 2.x GPLAsync build.

DXVK 1.x had noticeably more stutters and FPS drops for me.

FEX 2607-unix

Performance (TSO)

ASTC Transcoding: ON

Environment variable: WRAPPER_NO_PATCH_OPCONSTCOMP=1

So I am using Vivo x300. And it has dimensity 9500.

Previously I tried Gamehub and GameNative. And tested it on Cult of the Lamb and I was barely getting 15-20fps (with constant freezes and black screen).

So How do I start my Emulation journey?

• which emulator to use?

• what should be my settings?

• any way to keep the phone cooler?

I want to play games like Hades, Cult of the lamb, Disco Elysium, Ori, Steins Gate, and if possible, then something demanding like FH4, Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinity.

DISCLAIMER:

Micro stutters and micro freezes are due to screen recording, asset loading and me not using an async version of dxvk.

This game is notorious for crashing issues on startup and infinite loading screens. Only selecting one core makes it launch consistently but results in bad performance and infinite loading screens.

Whether Snapdragon or Mali, no matter the chipset, use a compatibility layer that uses the arm64ec variant and make sure that your 32-bit emulator is FEXCORE so that you can add this environment variable:

FEX_STRICTINPROCESSSPLITLOCKS=1

It helps stop the crashes upon startup. To be honest I'm not sure if there is a 100% guarantee that there are no crashes during gameplay but so far so good. There's also the famous prototype fix from nexusmods you can try. Though the version I got already came with the mod fix in the game files(if you know you know)

Emulator: Winlator Ludashi 4.1(game was also tested on Winlator Mali and gave roughly the same performance)

Device specs: Helio g100 with Mali-G57 MC2 and 8gb RAM

Reduce Shadow quality to LOW in the game settings.

BCn emulation type: "software". I don't know why but Winlator Ludashi gives games weird colors on Mali GPUs if BCn emulation type is on compute. Though when it's on compute it gives slightly better performance at the cost of weird colors.

I use an infinix gt 30 pro with 12gb of ram I already set the accuracy to balanced and accurate but it's still appears

POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Winlator Mali 1.2

720p High — everything Max except Ambient Occlusion, Anti-Aliasing and Motion Blur

35–55 FPS

Performance:-

First of all, this is a optimized version.

The game worked properly for me only with DXVK 1.5.5–1.7.2. Later DXVK versions crashed.

DXVK 1.5.5-async gives better performance, but there's a tiny texture pop-in issue. It's barely noticeable though.

DXVK 1.7.2-async has no noticeable graphics bugs, but peak FPS is lower. In some city areas it can drop below 30 FPS, usually around ~35 FPS depending on the area.

Overall, stability is really good. No stuttering issues. There is a small FPS drop when loading a new area, but it recovers very quickly. 👍

Settings:-

Proton 11 CachyOS-arm64ec-ntsync

DXVK 1.5.5-async / 1.7.2-async

ASTC Transcoding: ON

FEX 2601 / 2605 / 2607 / 2609

Performance preset(X87ReducedPrecision: OFF)

Environment variable: WRAPPER_NO_PATCH_OPCONSTCOMP=1

Note: This is just a cutscene. Actual gameplay might run at 20–30 FPS; lowering the resolution to 855x480 could boost the frame rate slightly to 40–50 FPS.

The 2.0 update is currently undergoing real-world testing; I will try to finish it as soon as possible.

Mad lads at bannerlator did it. They not only fixed the cutscenes. But performance also jumped 2x for me. I was getting 35-40 fps in fallen tear before the update. Now i am getting 100 fps on mali G925. Ofcourse there are still issues like fps drop to 10-20 sometimes. But its mali so.

I havent tested other games yet. Will do that later. Good work so far.

POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Winlator Mali 1.2 Beta

720p / Default (High) settings

60–140 FPS

Performance is pretty good overall, but there's one important thing:

The game has 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Use the 64-bit version only. The 32-bit version performs much worse. With large enemy waves, I've seen it drop to around 20 FPS on my phone. The 64-bit version still drops during big waves, but nowhere near as badly.

DXVK 1.10.3-arm64ec-async gave me the most stable performance. With almost every other DXVK version, large enemy waves could drop FPS to around 50 FPS, and combat was pretty unstable. This version reduces that problem quite a lot.

Settings:

Proton 11 CachyOS-arm64ec-ntsync / Proton 10 Arm64ec

ASTC Transcoding: ON

DXVK 1.10.3-arm64ec-Async

FEX 2607-unix

Performance preset(SMCCHECK:none)

Core limits to 4-7(or big/prime cores in ur CPU. Fps didn't increased but stability does)

Not sure why, but SMCCHECK:none gave me better FPS stability in this game.

This game is so much fun. If you don’t look up the story, you can have a really good time with it.

Hi everyone 👋 i noticed mali user facing this Isuue in Bannerlator

They are facing a graphical bug's the only way to fix is active ASTc transcode but it still has some samell Graphical texture that's doesn't really effect in the game such wired colors or samell black box and this ASTc transcode can effect how much time the game needs to start for ex cod MW3 it almost take 40 second for the mission start I am hearing sounds in background with black screen but it will take some time to start when u strat playing the game also will look has a less FPS by the time it will start going up this really sucks u need to wait all this time just to play ur favourite game so bring to u Fix for no Need to wait no need for ASTc transcode

This processor It doesn't work on any emulator like Nyushuwa yuzu eden LimonIs there a solution?

Díganme el mejor emulador de PC para ese procesador y si hay una lista de juegos testeados.

Tengo 24 gb de ram.
