Fast Memory on Galaxy S4

[[Unknown]]

Fast memory is basically "direct access". With it off, there's a police car at every corner making sure that memory is accessed properly.

Fast memory itself works perfectly and has no crashes/bugs whatsoever. It's like the roads in my above example: they're all well maintained, there's no potholes, it's all good.

However, there are still drunk drivers (bugs.) With police cars at every corner, we can catch them before they kill anyone or themselves, but without that bad things can become even worse. We've fixed a lot of bugs now, and most of the streets don't have drunk drivers on them.

So, fast memory itself has not been "fixed." But we enabled it because for the vast majority of games, "slow memory" is not needed, and it really is a LOT slower.

Anyway, fast memory is just about access, it's not about how it's stored, allocated, or freed. It won't affect leaking.

I haven't run PPSSPP through a leak detector lately, but I don't know of any leaks. Anyway, once a process exits, it really shouldn't be able to leak memory (unless it talks to other processes and THOSE leak, or it doesn't actually fully exit.) It *is* possible that your OpenGL driver or something else is leaking, but it's not likely.

Android should have tools to show you which processes are using how much memory. Does it not show anything useful?
