30fps, only 25% cpu... on a WATCH!

[clort78]

After some SNESdroid RPG action, I thought what the heck and installed PPSSPP (1.11.3) on my THor 4 android watch.

It's a low-midrange smartwatch about two years old, with a cheap CPU MTK6739 @ 1.5ghz, 1GB RAM.

Setup screen streaming and pc keyboard control with scrcpy and ran Ao No Kiseki.

Thought I'd share the results with you.

(H265 Video 11.4MB)

With a 320x320screen, it's rendering to 1x resolution. FPS only dropped below 30 on heavier spells like Aerial... All while streaming h264

Surfaceflinger was only using 7%, for a total of about 32-35% cpu use - emulating PSP!

Now for comparison, VLC, only playing a 16kbps .opus audio file (no video) uses 15% and 12% surfaceflinger (wth?).

AMAZING emulator Hydr. We are not worthy!
