Nvidia Shield Tablet topic

Hello everyone,



I'm very sad to see how this section and developpement section is empty. I bought the Shield Tablet because she have many possibilities for a tablet(GC/Wii emulation with Dolphin for exemple) and i'm very sorry to see no one really care about this device.

It is on Dolphin that I want to make a point.

Ryan Houdek(Alias Sonicadvance in this forum) work for long months on Dolphin Emulator for Android. It allowed us to see that emulation was quite possible on Tegra K1 processors.

After a massive work on Armv7 JIT, Ryan worked on Aarch64(aka Armv8) because many arm devices will release this year.

Many games because playable with Fiora "overclock" fonction. There is a list and somes examples

Since a few days, Ryan work on a Vertex Loader in NEON(NEON are +/- = SSE3). This will give a good boost to any games limited by the loader vertex. (understand gpu thread).

After that, he will work on a Texture decoder(in NEON too). Same think than the Vertex Loader.

Somes games will quickly become playable, like Zelda Wind Waker, Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Mario Sunshine and many many others.

I continue my work for the Shield Tablet, i've actually no plan to bought others tablets. I just want to play at somes games on my Shield Tablet.

So if you wanna play GC/Wii Games on Shield Tablet, please support us. There are many things that you can do.

For devs :

- Write a Texture Decoder in x86 or NEON(this is easy to translate x86 to NEON)
- Bring an overclocking function for the Shield, 2,5Ghz is great for boost and safety
- Help to developping Dolphin Emulator(resolve crashs, enhance function, etc)

For users :

- Report bugs
- Like this post(:P)
- Show us how many want that, that's very motivating
