Hardware transform feature (Android)

[Rishiraj]

I've noticed these while using this feature in ppsspp v0.4 (github build 27/12/2013)

*It renders the foliage in Obscure the aftermath which was missing in the Google.play build but causes some screen display buys
*Fires and some other things are.showing correctly in Mortal Kombat Unchained but causes fps to drop
*Brighter characters in Dragon ball evolution

What exactly does this feature do????

It uses graphics hardware on your device to run transform ("T&L", that is, transform, lighting and skinning) on the GPU instead of the CPU.

Enabling it should make things go a bit faster, especially on polygon-heavy games, unless the GPU is really crappy. There are currently some differences in rendering from not having it enabled, but those are bugs.

Hello! Can i ask if the Mali 400 mp4 rev. 2 is more than enough for polygon intensive games? Well the whole silicon is Exynos 4 Quad 4412 @1.4 Ghz. Thanks!

this is probably a good choose for a phone if you want to play game with ppsspp

Most likely things will run well on that phone when PPSSPP is fully optimized and has an ARM dynarec. But we'll see, no promises.

Right, thanks,


on a side note, what's an ARM dynarec?

Sir cloud1250000 said that dynarec is "jit"

[Henrik]

yeah it's two names for the same thing, a bit confusing. can't decide which name I like better.

I prefer Jit
