Low FPS on Mupen64+

[lordnicols1]

Hi! My name is Nicolas and My smartphone is a LG G3 D855 (Snapdragon 801, Adreno 330, 2.5ghz and 2gb ram).
Mupen64+ and N64oid are the most know 64 Emulator for Android. I tested both Of them, and N64oid had an incredible performance while Mupen64 was terrível.
I tested with Zelda OoT, SSB, 007, Mário Kart, Mário 64, Star Fox... All Of them runs much better on n64oid
The problem is... recently i bought another gamepad (i already had one) and n64oid doensn't support 2 controllers (actually it does, but it needs an app called Bluez IME and this app doensn't work since KitKat). Mupen64+ does support multiple controllers but... it's terrible playing on it!!
I tested with many plugins, none Of them can work like n64oid works! Is there a way to improve the Emulator? An specific version?

Obs: Besides running better than mupen64, n64oid run the games with better textures. How can this happen?

Thanks for your attention:)

Please try this build:

https://dri​ve.google.co​m/file/d/0B5​7Ioy26LWegZG​12UTNyYm5XWl​E/view?usp=s​haring

Create a new emulation profile by copying GLideN64 GLES 3.0 profile. In that new profile, use these options (If I don't mention something, leave it default):
Bilinear filtering: Standard
Anisotropic filtering: 0
Texture cache: 100MB
Widescreen hack: off
Noise emulation: on
LOD emulation: on
Per-pixel lightning: off
Persistent storage for compiled shaders: on
Make texrect coordinates continuous: auto
Fix texrect image misalignment: off
Enable frame buffer emulation: on
Swap frame buffers: on buffer update
Copy color buffer to RDRAM : async
Native resolution factor: 3x
Texture filter: smooth 1
Texture enhancement: 4xBRZ
Deposterize texture before enhancement: on

Hit back after you are done.

Click on this new profile and make it default M

Try a game and let me know how it goes.

Hello again
Well, i can't download this version and i couldb't follow your steps because i don't find the options you Said here onthe  version im using
-------+++++-+++++edit----++++++--++-++---
I found a build on the shoutbox, i don't know if it is the same version you tried to Send me but i found every option you Said
But... the Emulator is slower than before. Super Smash Bros was in slow motion and Diddy Kong Racing and Mário Kart were if black screeb

Hmmm, interesting. My phone is older than yours and I get full speed with GLideN64 GLES 3.0. My phone has a snapdragon 800 with the Adreno 330 GPU.

Does it make a difference if you use the GLES 2.0 version of the plugin?

I would be interested in trying this if I can get better performance on my NVidia Shield Portable, but the link gave an error file not present. Could you provide another link?

Here you go:

The shield portable only supports GLES 2.0 by the way, so you won't see GLES 3.0 in it.

Hi, i'm back :p
I tried using vídeo plugin Of es 2.0 on OpegGL3 config, and tried to change the OpenGLES2.0 emulation plugin using the configs you put here. Same result, terrible gameplay...

[fzurita]

What kind of fps are you getting with Mario 64?

[lordnicols1]

Well, don't know what happened but the Emulator isn't showinf the fps in any option Of touchscreen profile.
I can only say that the games are extremely slow and most Of them are with graphical glitches, i can only see some lines across the screen
But with the standard configs that came with the Emulator the games are working fine, but with low FPS 15~21 (Heavy games runs even more slow(

[fzurita]

That's really interesting. The option to show FPS is under display options now. What kind of FPS are you getting with Mario 64 with the settings I posted earlier?

[lordnicols1]

Hm, good FPS. Mario 64 was about 26-33fps, but with slow motion and with only 1/4 Of the screen being showed, the other 3/4 were Black. Same for Super Smash Bros
Most part Of the time the game was at 29~31 fps (on Mario64, cause on smash Bros the fps was changing all the time)

[fzurita]

Can you set native resolution to off and see if that fixes the issue with half of the image being black?

[lordnicols1]

Ohhh, it works, the screen is ok now. But i still have the slow motion problem. Also, the FPS is low 15~31 on Mário 64, most Of time around 24/25

[fzurita]

Yeah, it would be almost impossible to determine the cause of the slow down without having your device in hand.

[lordnicols1]

Ok, thank you
