Twilight Princess Dusk Playability Report (Android Port)
So ik this is already way beyond the scope of this kind of hand-held but still its fun to give it a shot, as u can see the game is Semi-Playable depending on what you are willing to sacrifice, Using the Vulkan Back end is seemingly the only option and the resolution is a lil higher than 1X to match the display res
In gameplay the FPS is 12-22 nothing more or less, surprisingly the game still slows down even tho its native port, the speed issues alone make the game unplayable and the fluctuating fps makes is for a horrible experience
But i find it fascinating we can even do this and android has worse Vulkan Drivers than dArkOS has since
#Twilight Princess on the Linux Side via dArkOS and Dolphin
Using Dolphin on dArkOS surprisingly u get hugher FPS on the loading screen and both in game the FPS staying 15-23 even reaching 30 On cutscenes and open areas however! Due to using Outdated no gui dolphin the Linux side is worse than android on many cases purely due to optimization since I tried running Paper Mario on this and it worked from 20-30 FPS no slowdowns but thats a way lighter game, Honestly its amazing this is still possible so yeah
Final thoughts? On Android its way more playable tho not enjoyable only visit as a Nostalgia Prompt and if u had played it before, Dusk Developers did an amazing job at this i hope we will see more improvements on it, Linux side? Very Promising but lack of support and OS due to too much variety and very lil devs being interested
