Current state of Snapdragon-based CPUs in PPSSPP

[TheDax]

As [Unknown] said, we do tend to read the forums (though not every contributor does).

ah I see, interesting.

So, I think it's a safe bet that we'll see an improved build for new android models in the next update?

I realize that it'd be an ambitious challenge, so it'd be completely understandable if it wasn't ready by then, but you know

* i've been offline for 2 days,
* last build i used was 934,
* but when i downloaded build 1015 just now.
* unbelievably! the speed is there again!
* and a little faster than xsacha's build!
* did u fixed the EGL, and Stencil issue on snapdragon?

* thanks so much guys!

* i think stencil, alpha, really affects the speed on snapdragons..
* now, MHFU runs at decent speed again.

[xsacha]

Yeah the change from my build is now in latest.

[globe94]

* great !

* now i got good speeds again on my games..
* Gods Eater Burst = Not a single Hiccup or Scratch on Sound (with Frameskip Awto)
* SoCoM = now less laggy with 15fps. (no frameskip)
* MHFu = reaches 100 speed frequently.
* Harvest Moon is now 89-95 speed. >> few more improvements & it will be perfect!

* thanks again devs!

* now i wonder if other users experienced the same?

On Windows the speed is better too (you can see the difference when you press Tab)

Nice .. Keep up the good work guys from my opinion u r closer to the goal ...but still needs a lot of work .. I wish I could help with something but I m no programmer last build give up some speed and fps but graphics was worse and still my favorit games non playable :/ on Android 4.3 Samsung Galaxy S4

[Henrik]

voodoo, graphics were worse, really? Please give examples as we have worked hard on _improving_ graphics in a number of games. The only regression I know of is 3rd birthday.

Oups sorry my bad sometimes wen I install a diferent build the settings from the previous are automaticly applied so I have to make reset then restart. So I v must been mistaken older build from 1033 witch behaves very good with fps, speed and graphics. Only problem is on videos and subtitles. Wen I play God of War g.o.s some videos are black screen and the subtitles flickering making them hard to read and sometimes with same settings I can watch the videos but subtitles still flickering.Also I found that different duilds can not load same state. I hope my post helps and I hope that soon I can play silent hill without screen fricks all the time white screen flickering wen I open a dor and graphics like im watching movie on my grandmothers tv from analog antena with bad signal

I have Snapdragon phone too, I don't see anything wrong. Speed is understandable. I finished Duodecim Dissidia, 3rd Birthday, and Kingdom Hearts. Speed doesn't go down 50% and runs at 80% most o the time. Is that supposed to be slow? I don't have any other device to compare with.

[Henrik]

Snapdragons are still slow at doing many drawcalls but the software skinning optimization fixed the worst slowdowns by drastically reducing them (further improved by texcoord speedhack in some games). So I don't know if there's much more to do, there aren't many situations left where we can safely combine draw calls.

[globe94]

* i got another phone, a cheaper one with lower specs than my snapdragon, But with PowerVR gpu,

* i tested MHfu, SOCOm and Harvest Moon.


* my snapdragon lost all battles with powerVR

* powerVr is speedy!

[stodag]

Snapdragon is a CPU, power vr is a GPU.. you can't compare the two

[Obi55]

I guess he might mean adreno.

[zackfair17]

yeah. It's rather easy to confuse the two.
