[Q] High-end Game lags

Today I just downloaded the game "Dungeon Hunter 4", an RPG that some of you may have heard. I saw a video on YouTube an Xperia Z playing the game flawlessly in what I think is in the highest graphic settings. But my problem is, the max video quality I can set is medium, and more annoyingly, IT STILL LAGS A LOT.
Is there something I did wrong? Stock, rooted. I don't know if this is an optimization issue or what, but considering how very similar the two phones are, how hard is it (or if it's even a problem) to optimize it for the ZL. I'm quite disappointed right now

I dunno about yours but mine runs flawlessly. No tweaks. Stock Rom and kernel, rooted via doomlord method, and no changes in the setting after downloading.

Can you check the max graphic configuration you can set in settings? Mine only goes medium at the highest

If ur rooted... download greenify from playstore(by oasis feng)...and greenify all the apps you don't want to run in the background(all apps including games as well except for messaging apps you'll get notifications from)
The less apps running in the background the better the mobile will perform while playing high end games
If you feel that I've helped you in any way,,please hit the thanks button

Yup, I already have greenify installed and running. The problem seems to be in the optimization of the game for my phone model (c6503). Not very sure though

Dolphin (Wii / Gamecube) Emulator

Guide for setting up Dolphin emulator on Nvidie shield tv:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJKOKAc0Rs

I believe the controller issues have been fixed as of a couple days ago.

I'm fairly sure I know the answer to this but has anyone got decent Wii emulation out of this device?

I'm using 4.0-5954, only tried Animal Crossing so far but it runs at full speed.

Please delete. I'll look at the video and try to match my settings

That is the builder that builds new versions every time a change is pushed to master.
Just click the new one on the top of the list (#1039 at the time of writing) and there will be an APK link to the latest built version at that point.

thanks, im not having much luck with same settings as in the video most games i tried wont even start
true crime streets of la - splash screen then crash
baldurs gate - splash screen then crash
freedom fighters - wont start
ghost recon - wont start
second sight - wont start
medal of honor front line - works but at 7fps

Same here, tried a ton of games at all kinds of different settings & they either won't start, crash immediately or 'run' at single digit fps?

They're up to build #1396 over at https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android
Is this version any improved? Can someone post results and recommended settings?

I've used those versions. I grab latest every day to see the improvements as they come. Recomendations, well... Toy with the settings. 1 at a time. That's what I did. Super Smarh Bros played at 40-60 FPS at all sorts of different settings. Just give them a shot.

I like it

There are vast improvements with the latest versions. Only had a quick go last night with Wind Waker, its almost running at full speed now. Here's a nice little video on a channel I follow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iQ6myHHMnU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJKOKAc0Rs
The fist half on the second link shows how to set it up.
Personally I set the internal resolution to 2x, enable fastmen, Enable Skip EFB access from CPU, and set EFB copy to RAM (cashed). Oh and force 16:9 aspect ratio. I leave everything else as default. That seems to work for most things and gives a good speedup. You'll get a much more details explanation of settings over on the dolphin on android forums obviously, but that should get you off to a decent start.

There has been huge improvement recently. I played through Fire Emblem Path of Radiance in its entirety on the SATV (overclock 0.5) and currently playing through FE: Radiant Dawn (overclock 0.2). For Wii games Super Mario Bros Wii and Muramasa the Demon Blade running full speed for me (and Radiant Dawn with overclock, as above). Game cube games running well include Timesplitters 2, Luigi's Mansion (although there has been aa graphical regression recently and his head is missing) and on 1x IR Mario Kart Double Dash is virtually perfect too (frame rate consistently above 55), as mentioned above Zelda WW approaching full-speed too. Performance in most games is CPU bound, so increasing to 2x IR or so doesn't hit performance in most games, so I was interested to see that Mario Kart did improve with lowering IR (someone reported that in comments in Free Emulators YouTube channel and I checked and it's the same for me also).

Arrr thats interesting, I wondered how people were running Double dash at full speed while I was stick at about 30fps. Over the weekend I played Wind Waker on the sheild, however there is a bug in the Tower of the Gods section where the lifts don't activate http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1540/t1671502-tower-of-gods-glitch-dolphin I thought it was just me and it wasn't until I gave up and looked at a walk through that I realized it wasn't me I had to transfer back to the PC and play past that section before picking back up on the Sheild. There's something very satisfying about playing on the Sheild TV. I've had dolphin on my PC forever but hardly ever fire it up, probably because of the backlog of steam games lol. Whereas with the sheild in the bedroom its the first thing I head for. Probably because I believe the gamecude games are far better gameplay wise than native android games. I tell you what though I find those Zelda games pretty challenging puzzle wise, I can fly through most modern games but they really do have me scratching my head and I do occasionally have to reach for a walkthrough as much as I hate going so.

Yes is there a list of Sheild TV specific overclock settings somewhere? I saw a thread on the dolphin forums but it said the settings may vary by device. I haven't played around with OC settings myslef yet. Off topic it would be nice to get a custom Kernel for the TV so we could bump up the CPU clock a little

I've yet to play around with any OC settings mate that was #NZtechfreak. I just enable fastmen, Enable Skip EFB access from CPU, and set EFB copy to RAM (cashed).
I'll have a play around with the OC settings later tonight, but I believe setting to 1*IR should give you almost full speed without OC settings.

cant wait till android M is release a month or 2 months from now on this device....also the shield IS perfectly capable of running dolphin at full speed..dolphin just has to be optimized and updated.

Dolphin emulation performance?

I was curious if there were anyone using the Pixel C for emulating games. I think dolphin is one of the most resource intensive emulator out right now with good android suppprt
So for those who are using Dolphin, what type of performance levels are you getting with various games?
I'm curious about Mario and Zelda games the most, but I'd like to hear as much feedback as possible.
Also, does disabling encryption help with performance of dolphin emulation or is the bottleneck CPU/GPU?
Thanks in advance!

Ive never even thought of this. I should try it. Thanks

I'd love to hear about your experience with it
Like which games you tried out and what FPS you were getting on them

works ok, about the same as the Shield TV so a frame rate of 48 -60 on double dash

how could you make the on screen control work? i try on my c but all the button group on the left corner

In the main menu you can open a sidebar by pushing on the Dolphin then settings->Input->Input Overlay->Input Overlay Layout
Mariokart runs in Time Trials mode not bad (depands also on the Track) but i think Grand Prix is not playable
edit: sadly there are no updates since 2014. I think with some optimations dolphin could run all games :crying:

hi i'm new user of google pixel c and i run perfectly on dolphin emulator games of gamecube like zelda wind waker and zelda twilight princess but i use the new build of this emulator wich is update often to improve all. The actually dolphin android emulator builds are on this page:
As i can't put you link here type in google search this:
builder release android buildbot dolphin emulator
and click on first link then to download apk of build you need to click on number of build like 930 to obtain build page and click on file in "steps and logfiles" field
like in this case
"dolphin-master-5.0-1605.apk"
for best configuration i can't put link like pictures then if you need i could you tell screen by screen in text here, if you need.
PS: sorry for my bad english i'm french ^^
