The three month gap between reports was not because of a lack of changes. The past three months have had tons of changes that would have normally been the highlight of a Progress Report. we haven't even talked about any emulation fixes yet. In fact, enough has happened that we'll be detailing the status of Dolphin's macOS support near the end of the report.Īnd. We've improved the user experience on macOS significantly and restored support for older devices. You won't have to scroll far for that news, we promise.īut that's only the tip of the iceberg we've had three months worth of changes pile up and some other important infrastructure news. And with a critical bottleneck getting fixed just days ago, performance on Adreno GPUs has skyrocketed.
For those on mobile phones and tablets, Adreno powered devices provide decent enough graphics drivers to get a reasonable experience at this point. This means that every PowerPC instruction that the x86-64 JIT supports along with every major JIT feature are now supported in the AArch64 JIT! And this is a great time for ARM in general, with each generation of processor pushing the boundaries and companies like Apple adopting the architecture for larger and higher power devices like their M1 Mac line. On that note, we're happy to announce that Dolphin's AArch64 JIT has finally reached feature parity with Dolphin's x86-64 JIT.
