*[[Panda3DS]] (Nintendo 3DS), (fails to boot anything, but keeping it in case it updates to support games on PowerVR GPUs one day)
→How does my phone handle emulation?
===Emulation limits===
*Consoles: All consoles until possibly the [[Dreamcast]] ([[Flycast]] and [[redream]]) work at playable speeds. [[PlayStation 2]] ([[AetherSX2]] (patched with NetherSX2)), [[GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]], and [[Wii]] ([[Dolphin]]) do work, but with not the best performance, with Vulkan working the best for Dolphin, aibelt with more graphical glitches than OpenGL, which runs slower than Vulkan.
*Handhelds: All handhelds until the [[Nintendo DS]] ([[DraStic]]) and [[PlayStation Portable emulators|PlayStation Portable]] ([[PPSSPP]]) work at playable speeds. [[Nintendo 3DS]] ([[Citra]], both the [[Citra (PabloMK7 fork)|PabloMK7 fork]] and [[Citra MMJ]]) does work, but with not the best performance, with the PabloMK7 fork working better for some games with the Vulkan renderer, while Citra MMJ works better for some games. The [[Panda3DS]] (Nintendo 3DS) emulator(which I later deleted), [[PlayStation Vita]] ([[Vita3K]]), and [[Nintendo Switch]] ([[yuzu]] and [[Skyline]], both which I later deleted) don't even boot games at all.
*Mobile: Have not tried iOS ([[touchHLE]]) yet on my phone. VMOS Pro works for using older apps not supported on Android 12 such as ones that were last supported on Android 4.4.
*Other: [[Windows 2000/XP/Vista emulators|Windows]] ([[Winlator]], Mobox via Termux, and [[ExaGear|ExaGear SU]]) also work, though not all games and apps will work, since PowerVR GPUs only support VirGL (support for older OpenGL versions and DirectX until DirectX 9). The [[mGBA]] core in the Windows version of [[RetroArch]] actually worked better than I expected, running decently in Winlator, with the [[Gambatte]] core running buttery smooth in Mobox, with fast-forward surprisingly also working. Even the Windows versions of [[DeSmuME]] and [[melonDS]] work, which is surprising since both do not work that great on my phone natively, but are as slow as a slideshow, being even worse than the native versions on my phone. I have not managed to test most of the more complex emulators. The Windows version of [[PPSSPP]] surprisingly works, but it is as fast as a snail. [[Cemu]] surprisingly boots to the game select menu, but I have not managed to get a single game working on there yet, since my phone will most likely be never be able to run Wii U games, especially if it struggles with even [[melonDS]]. The Windows version of [[Citra]] also goes into the game selection menu, but crashes upon booting a game.
