Is there a PlayStation 2 emulator?

All I found was old threads of people telling how it's not possible to do, not even on the most powerful phone back in the day - Galaxy S.
Ok maybe not GS, but how about quad core Tegra 3/Exynos 4? I hope there already is one. I know FPSe emulates PS1, but I just found Tomb Raider Legend and since I have no console anymore, sold it, and PC is not as exciting next to my Nexus 7, I was thinking, why not N7?

Are you serious? Ps2 emulation needs a hardcore pc.. NO phone has so much power like a pc...

Hardcore PC? Maybe in '05 it was considered "hardcore" in reality you can run it flawlessly on a dual core, as long as the GPU is adequate. Smart phones are a different story, but I expect with a Tegra 3 or alternative it would be possible to emulate a less intensive game at a feasible frame rate.

Yeah i think there will be some time before we see any playstation 2 emulators on phones, but i hear some PS1 emulators work great.

Not sure how feasible this is, however you can play playstation mobile games by installing the ported apk. Give it a try

Yeah really, and lots of games have either extreme slowdowns or emulation bugs. We can talk about emulating PS2 when we can emulate all handhelds properly, like the DS.

Technically speaking, he's right when he says a medium range pc should run it finefine (FYI, the ps2 version dropped to ~20FPS at times)... If it's native to the PC. However, it's running through an emulator, and that requires more power (I'm not going into the details, you can find enough info around the Internet, e.g. the pcsx2 forums).

The worst part of the S4 is Touchwiz...

Damn Samsung did it again.... Gingerbread 'Speed' and ugliness... The hiccups... Omfg. Quad Core 1.9 ghz, 2 gig ram and awesome gpu.. Still stutters... I don't get it. Yeah it:s Android but still.. (Aosp is awesome)

Fix is to not have all Samsung's new software running at the same time. Keep on only 1 or 2 of them at a time.

Already a thread talking about the negatives of the S4 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256778

So install a AOSP rom?

I use nova launcher and use a different contact and dialer app.. the device is really smooth.. no lag and I was really worried about it.

I am using HTC One with ARHD 20.1, Android 4.3 ROM, and it says that my device does not support OpenGL ES 3.0.. how come?

There are two main aspects for determining if a device supports OpenGL ES 3.0 -> the Android OS version, and the Hardware
Sure Android OS 4.3 supports OpenGL ES 3.0, but some custom ROM may not.
So, could you post a screenshot of your Device Info, especially the Android version, custom or not?

It could be because I am ussing leaked 4.3 ROM from HTC, it's not an official release

@AnTuTuLabs
Why did you removed support for ARMv6 CPU's?
Just wanna run benchmark on Android 4.3 on my Galaxy Ace

Exactly the answer I was expecting. Silence. So now I can assume what I was suspecting. No way this app gets on my phone.

sorry for the late. some thing stucked me.
1. if HTC One support OpenGL ES 3.0?
this depends one the hardware component configuration. since now, we only find out a few device support OpenGL ES 3.0. HTC One is not listed in. I think I have replied somewhere.
2. Got 0 scores?
This is a bug on some special devices. We have find out test machine and fixed almost.
Please download the latest version, and retry. If it still happen, pls let me know.
3. about the permission
I have asked our R&D team to work on it. please give me some time to get the result.
due to some things, I could not check comments in time. BUT from now on, I will do my best to check your royal comments, and solve your question in time.

we set a user center and offer custom picture as avatar. so users can call the camera to take a photo.
this is why we need camera and microphone permissions.

In part of 3D benchmark, we added more benchmarking contents which require a higher CPU, so we have to quit support to the ARMv6 CPU.

Antutu 4 scores

Did they disable samsung's "cheat" mode on the latest antutu version? The i9500 9505 and htc one scores are very close now. Here's my score compared against the standard s4 in their chart, which i think is the i9505.
what are your scores and thoughts guys?

If you want high Antutu 4 scores, just install the AOSP 4.3 rom in the original development section. Got 29k+ with it. The 3D score got a significant boost at least.

I'm not really into getting high antutu scores I'm just relieved that it looks like the boost mode has been turned off in this antutu version because as I said htc one, the lte s4, and the exynos s4 now have very close scores.
I'm still enjoying the stock touchwiz features so I don't think I'll be using the AOSP rom anytime soon. Thanks for the info btw, appreciate it!

I've noticed higher scores on the note 2 since the recent Antutu 4 update, which is nice I think they were underscoring the note 2 in hopes that you would sell the N2 and buy a new s4. Just my 2 cents though.

My I9500 gets 27017, also on stock TW and no root:
A few more runs and I'm sure it can hit 28000.

GT-I9500

GT-I9505G, running stock and rooted 4.3

Yo with my settings which is I clocked to 2052mhz and other various settings and my score was
28979
I freaked out when I saw it, by the way I do not know why it shows 2322mhz I think because thats the max Ktoonez kernel allows you to clock it, there is no way the phone will allow me to clock it at that and run antutu it will shutdown I have tried it dont you worry lol.
Anyway this is a MASSIVE boost for i9505 my max before on old antutu was 26768 and this was Extremely tweaked, now its just a few tweaks with the kernel, and done.
I also still am on old firmware I havent updated for over 1 month.

Don't give a damn about it. Antutu is meaningless and worthless as hell. But yeah, Adam has lower score than stock, not sure what's the reason. You can flash stock if you wanna see a high score. Also another very important factor is device temp and also ambient temp. I live in India, and average room temp is ~29-30°C here, and my score on stock kernel variate's between 25500-27800. People in colder temperature will get higher scores definitely. You might wanna run it after the phone had some rest (at least half an hour), that'd make a difference.

Scored 28007 on my i9505.
Weird that the i9500 is scoring so low.

We all know the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa is more powerful than the Qualcomm S600, so there is something VERY odd going on with AnTuTu, my I9500 averaged 28100, now it gets 27000 at best.

Right you're.. if we have 4.3 soon then I doubt i9505 would beat us.. and obviously if we overclock cpu and gpu that as much as devilpera64 have i9500 will beat the **** out of other phones. Just you wait till october and I assure you. I9505 will be behind us.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. ME AND MY BROTHER HAVE IDENTICAL GT I9500s
I RAN THE QUADRANT PROFESSIONAL FULL TEST AND MY PHONE CRASHED. IT WASNT BOOTING UP FOR ALMOST 15 MINUTES. BUT LATER IT BOOTED. IT WASNT OVERCLOCKED NEITHER WAS MY BROTHERS PHONE. NOW HE UNDERCLOCKED BOTH GPU AND CPU AND DID THE SAME. SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM.
WHATEVER YOU DO DONT JUST USE QUADRANT PROFESSIONAL.
I admit gt i9500 has low score in antutu thats why I went to test with quadrant professional.

Huawei Mate 9 Vulcan API/Driver?

What firmware do you have installed? Huawei has been improving the GPU drivers in the updates. I don't have the Mate 9 yet.

I guess there is no support for Vulcan in Karin 960

The SoC does support Vulkan, so it's a software issue.

Software includes drivers...
I'm simply stating that the SoC has Vulkan support and it therefore is not a hardware issue.
Whether it's a driver issue, a different Huawei software issue or an app compatibility issue is uncertain. It could be your apps not supporting the Mali G71 GPU properly. Developers have the best documentation and support for Qualcomm devices after all.

Well I just tried dolphin emulator and it does not work. Games lag too much. Disappointed really in this otherwise great phone.

Well, Vulkan's developers are toting that the Mate 9 was built for Vulkan https://www.khronos.org/news/permalink/huawei-introduces-the-huawei-mate-9-with-support-for-vulkan Is this another case of false advertising then?
