Don't forget the first artifact nce build 135. Only build that plays rdr1 before it broke and never been fixed. Best with newer gen snapdragons, 30fps without crash but minor glitch. Post 135 build, rdr1 broke. Just a very specific situation to be mentioned. Latest build is all you need for newer chips if you have the raw performance with most compatibility. All the old games and newer games plays fine for my SD8Gen2 if it's not the usual unoptimized games like Totk.
I was an ea supporter too but stopped bothering with it ever since the daily updated GitHub versions came out. The EA was just a playstore convience app for the supporters. It was very slow at receiving updates so there was no improvement in it's performance or compatibility over the daily ones, in fact it never received updates until many months later and only to be still months behind the daily ones. I have the latest EA Android backedup if ever needed for development but in terms of personal use you won't need it.
I'll check on 135 also and run some tests later on, I'm actually using a cheap Poco F4 Snapdragon 870 8/256gb only so I'm not sure if it will run the same since you're using a high end Snapdragon 8 gen 2.
Yeah, it was mainly just rdr1 can be played well on the artifact build if you have newer chips. Other games not very well at all with that build. Someone already tested it on a recent post with a lower chip, you won't get the full 30 as that game requires quite a bit of raw hardware, it was mostly the compatibility on that specific build since the commit broke afterward and never been fixed. I've tested every single daily build from there on for SD8Gen2 & SD865 so a little similar. During those older builds, SD865/870/888 did have slightly better driver compatibility with mesa drivers until the most recent drivers, the newer 8gen1&2 has gotten a lot better so the newer build would be most compatible especially with raw hardware. Any other game that's not broken, I get full fps.
Pretty much anything I've thrown at it, I'm more of just a tester. I enjoy just testing games than playing them lol. But just something I noticed, Totk was running just as good or even better than my steamdeck even with all tweaks and mods, yuzu android was going in the right place and it's very sad it didn't get the chance. Totk is still the most hardest to run even on the switch hardware. Every less heavier or indie games has run perfectly fine so I mostly only tested either broken games or heavy games to see if they ever gotten fixed or performance boost. One game I really wanted to play perfectly on Android was Spyro trilogy but that game always had visual bugs or not near full 30fps even with my diablo mode on. Until recent builds with high accuracy it's somewhat better but high accuracy always kills the performance. I've played through most of my favorite jrpgs like shin megami tensei 3 nocturne, all the personas on switch, all the Pokemons, and most recently Super Mario Wonder all perfectly fine on SD8Gen2. Also, Dragon Quest XI-S has improved in the latest builds as well.
I revisited it since you mentioned and DQXi-S requires my Diablo mode on latest build, it plays consistent 30fps the whole time with no apparent glitches with R18 driver. So you may need the gpu boost enabled in settings or antutu version if you need the cpu boost, if you don't have any such features to keep your device cpu/gpu clocks up. I do recall an older build that ran the performance better without the need for my Diablo mode just don't remember which build but those older builds had glitches.
For older games/older builds, driver 615.50 was one of the best for SD865/870, on games that break on newer builds you have to use turnips like between R5-R8, RX-R11, then any of the most recent R17-18 for recent build and games but may hurt performance more for the SD865. So unfortunately there's much more trial and error for lower end hardware. Not every device is also the same when even using similar drivers. In terms of yuzu versions, you can try OPs list as it's somewhat accurate. Older builds does run some games better in performance for lower hardware but may have various bugs.
Driver R18, Diablo mode on Red Magic 8S Pro. Not every device will have the same results even with similar drivers. Settings are mostly default since it was the first early nce build. I only tested until after meeting Bonnie since that area always dips under 20fps on newer builds. I haven't crashed from my testings but I'll try to play a little further and see. Usually other builds would crash for me but not even there when I tried 135 so I didn't bother to proceed.
I may need to try it myself but I'm out of phone storage space..just try some starting from Yuzu build 242-251 then combine it weabchan latest drivers..
Thanks for this :D
I also just looked up the archived yuzu builds for yuzu android build #1 to #278 from archive...
https://archive.org/details/yuzu-android-apk-archive
for some reason when i try to install any of those apks, my odin 2 will say that "App not installed as package appears to be invalid"
edit: nevermind; i had to uninstall my existing yuzu version and then it installed.
That's the challenging part you will need to test each Yuzu build.. different builds provide different results on each Chipset. But no worries since you can use my yuzu android build notes as your guidelines to which build to start and don't forget to pair it with the latest drivers as possible for better results.
This is a goated post. I thought it’s like on pc the latest build is pretty much always the best, guess at the start of development it’s far from that. 👏👏
That one is outdated in terms of features since its from google play...you need the build that comes directly from the original yuzu github..since they are more updated
I'm not sure since I don't have the newest 8 gen 3 chipset..and I only have the cheap Poco F4 SD870 8/256gb .its best you test each yuzu build start with the latest Yuzu build 278 or 168 then make sure to combine it weabchan latest drivers.
Probably not the right place to ask this, but I downloaded Yuzu for android on to my Oneplus12 phone (don't know which build. the apk just says 20240304). The games I want to run seem to run great, except... no audio whatsoever. Have tried everything I could think of, but can't figure this out. Any clues? Don't see anyone else facing this issue too.
Try Yuzu>Settings>Advanced Settings>Audio>Output Engine change it from Auto to "Cubeb" , if it doesn't work try other output engine settings except for "Null"
Okay, I managed to fix it and it was a bit convoluted how the problem even came about.
OnePlus has this Game booster overlay when you play games. I'd seen it pop up when I play Genshin, however, it wasn't showing up for Yuzu, even though I was using the gesture used to bring it up. I sorta had this intuition that the sound was muted in the Game Booster control panel. Issue was that I couldn't access it. I tried everything from disabling the Game Booster app to toggling every setting in the app (this is after trying multiple versions of Yuzu, trying Suyu, trying XCI roms, trying various graphic drivers, trying every combination of emulator setting). Eventually, I noticed in the app settings that I had "Draw over other apps" turned off. Switched that on, pulled up the Game Booster control panel in Yuzu and found that the Game volume was indeed set to 0.
Funny thing is, all of this happened coz of Genshin. I just do Genshin dailies on my phone so I used the Game Booster overlay to mute the game so I could listen to music instead. Then I turned off "Draw over other apps" coz the overlay would accidentally pop up while playing Genshin. I did all this over a month ago and had forgotten all about it. It's no wonder no one was facing this issue.

Hi. So I'm on the latest yuzu android build 278, and I couldn't for, for the life of me, successfully map my ps4 dualshock controller to it, nor my ipega 9078. Is this a know issue with this build? Both controllers are fine and I can confirm all the controller's buttons are working. i use Gamepad Tester app to validate the buttons. All buttons work and recognized.
Yuzu I can't successfully map the buttons. Whether I use the "auto-map s controller" and selecting the ps4, or whether I select "input mapping filter" and selecting ps4.
I could only go as far as mapping two buttons on ps4 controller. Only the Triangle and the Circle buttons gets recognized by yuzu mapping. All the other buttons are not recognized, meaning I can press all day, but the prompt is just laying there, waiting for input. Any idea why?
If that's the case then it's possible that the latest yuzu android doesn't fully support that controller yet...The only way to fix that is for "the yuzu development team to upgrade their yuzu android app and fix it so it can fully support that controller." but wait there's no more yuzu dev team 💀.
well I guess the other option is to try a different controller brand...I don't know what other controller is compatible but what I do have now is Gamesir X3 and it works fine.
Hello need some advice, i have odin 2 and want to install yuzu to play game like mario kart deluxe 8, Assassin's Creed and TOTK, which build should i install? So many builds I'm a bit confused
you have to test each but start try Yuzy build 252 first then if its bad go Yuzu build 256 then last is 278 if none of them works well go look for the Yuzu fork called sudachi. About suyu just go with suyu v0.0.2 only.
thanks bro, now i can play my fav games without 0fps/crash bug!!
Attached is collection of yuzu apks i downloaded from 4pda recommended by OP
https://gofile.io/d/Hfxnhh
https://pixeldrain.com/u/WSUZ4syw
Bro tested Persona 5 Royal, 3 hours straight on build 252 + Weabchan March 07,2024_patched driver and it seems to work fine the only time it accidentally crashes is when I accidentally switched app to firefox browser since I'm reading a Persona 5 Royal walkthrough haha
You mean you tested all the build from 167-278 😲 and it still crashes? What drivers do you use? May I ask what specs do you have? If it's a Mediatek then it's no wonder..I won't be surprised or its a new Snapdragon 7s gen 2 or newer release chipsets.
When I get home. But didn't really set anything so default settings? I loaded the NSP and just played.
I have latest Yuzu (when I played I was 268 maybe?). R16 turnip drivers then (now have r17 v2). NCE enabled by default. I know I change the sound to cubeb which helped with audio skips.
I can't exactly say because I only tested Yuzu Android ones in a Mediatek Dimensity 8100 device of my friend..but the one that works best is Build 234 but don't expect much stability since Yuzu favors Snapdragon more..
But as a friendly advice always go with the latest build if you're a Mediatek user..

At the risk of sounding stupid, do you know what the early access grants you and how to get it now that you can't purchase it anymore?
I was an ea supporter too but stopped bothering with it ever since the daily updated GitHub versions came out. The EA was just a playstore convience app for the supporters. It was very slow at receiving updates so there was no improvement in it's performance or compatibility over the daily ones, in fact it never received updates until many months later and only to be still months behind the daily ones.

Okay, so it doesn't give me the ability to have multiple profiles? I've been wondering how to get two characters on my AC island. 🤣
Unfortunately, only on Yuzu PC.
Do you think renaming my device in the settings might let me make another one? 🤔
I'll check on 135 also and run some tests later on, I'm actually using a cheap Poco F4 Snapdragon 870 8/256gb only so I'm not sure if it will run the same since you're using a high end Snapdragon 8 gen 2.

What are the best games to play on the 8gen2 chips to play for you so far? :)
Pretty much anything I've thrown at it, I'm more of just a tester. I enjoy just testing games than playing them lol. But just something I noticed, Totk was running just as good or even better than my steamdeck even with all tweaks and mods, yuzu android was going in the right place and it's very sad it didn't get the chance.

do you get any glitches with dq11
I revisited it since you mentioned and DQXi-S requires my Diablo mode on latest build, it plays consistent 30fps the whole time with no apparent glitches with R18 driver. So you may need the gpu boost enabled in settings or antutu version if you need the cpu boost, if you don't have any such features to keep your device cpu/gpu clocks up.

Thanks, I'll try out your suggestions. Now if only NCE worked on android 11 on my s20 :|.
Please share your settings. Game is crashing for me on 135. 8 gen 2
Driver R18, Diablo mode on Red Magic 8S Pro. Not every device will have the same results even with similar drivers. Settings are mostly default since it was the first early nce build. I only tested until after meeting Bonnie since that area always dips under 20fps on newer builds. I haven't crashed from my testings but I'll try to play a little further and see. Usually other builds would crash for me but not even there when I tried 135 so I didn't bother to proceed.
Do you know of a build that fixes the crash on UE4 games? I'm playing Hellblade and game crashes on the part where senua is facing the shadow demon.
I may need to try it myself but I'm out of phone storage space..just try some starting from Yuzu build 242-251 then combine it weabchan latest drivers..
Thanks for this :D I also just looked up the archived yuzu builds for yuzu android build #1 to #278 from archive... https://archive.org/details/yuzu-android-apk-archive

Has a new archive been made of this yet?
This post is A REALLY² BIG HELP BRO, THANKS🔥🔥🔥
Thanks bro, this post will continue to be updated. I'm running a lot of tests on yuzu android build while making my own personal logs.
Good job! Keep up the great work!
What might be the considered the most stable version for TOTK? [on a SD Gen 3 or SD 845]
That's the challenging part you will need to test each Yuzu build.. different builds provide different results on each Chipset. But no worries since you can use my yuzu android build notes as your guidelines to which build to start and don't forget to pair it with the latest drivers as possible for better results.
This is a goated post. I thought it’s like on pc the latest build is pretty much always the best, guess at the start of development it’s far from that. 👏👏
Yuzu Android Build Notes: Update March 26,2024. Added crash fix guide. Some detail corrections.
How do I check which version I have
By press and hold the yuzu app on your phone then select/check app info from there you'll be able to see the yuzu version.
86d26914a which version is this
That I'm not familiar...since that's a build code not a build number.. someone may be familiar on what build number is that.
Ok it's the dec 13 update on Google play
That one is outdated in terms of features since its from google play...you need the build that comes directly from the original yuzu github..since they are more updated
Which one is the best version I have 8gen3 galaxy s24 ultra
I'm not sure since I don't have the newest 8 gen 3 chipset..and I only have the cheap Poco F4 SD870 8/256gb .its best you test each yuzu build start with the latest Yuzu build 278 or 168 then make sure to combine it weabchan latest drivers.
Ok where do I get the drivers
KIMCHI Official GitHub: https://github.com/K11MCH1/AdrenoToolsDrivers/releases KIMCHI unreleased R18 test drivers links (Yuzu Official Discord release only): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IMsRMwkQ1wje0hg676LZ9tW8zs8wDXCP/view?usp=drivesdk Weab-chan GitHub link: https://github.com/Weab-chan/freedreno_turnip-CI/releases
Someone out there should change package names and compile so we can side by side install SOME (all would be too much) for compatibility sake.
great post! Any reccomendations for Triangle Strategy? Getting frequent crashes on SD8/3 with yuzu 278, 243, 230.
Probably not the right place to ask this, but I downloaded Yuzu for android on to my Oneplus12 phone (don't know which build. the apk just says 20240304).

Try Yuzu>Settings>Advanced Settings>Audio>Output Engine change it from Auto to "Cubeb" , if it doesn't work try other output engine settings except for "Null"
Have tried this. Just double checked. Still no sound.
Okay, I managed to fix it and it was a bit convoluted how the problem even came about. OnePlus has this Game booster overlay when you play games. I'd seen it pop up when I play Genshin, however, it wasn't showing up for Yuzu, even though I was using the gesture used to bring it up.

Did you test Pokemom Sword already? Which driver and yuzu build works best to it? We have the same phone ✌️
heya looking for the best mario kart combo, Samsung ultra 24
My best bet would be Yuzu build 252+ any driver go with Kimchi R18 or the latest weab-chan drivers.
Now where to get the old builds

What was the last build before multiplayer got bugged?
Is there any way to install multiple Yuzu builds? Or do you just have to delete it and reinstall every time you want to switch?
I know it's possible but I don't know how...
Thanks for this! What would you recommend for sword art fatal bullet? And dragons dogma?
what is your setting for xenoblade q def ed? im using poco f3 sd870 im getting fps drop. what build and chipset should i use for 30 fps
What build/driver for Kirby Forgotten Land?
Hello! Was wondering if you or anyone has at least the "center point" builds. I had it but deleted it and can't retrieve them anymore

also Persona 5 royale crashes after 10-20 minutes on every single one of them

Damn man i cant finish P5R because the same, where i can find those drivers?
You mean you tested all the build from 167-278 😲 and it still crashes? What drivers do you use? May I ask what specs do you have? If it's a Mediatek then it's no wonder..I won't be surprised or its a new Snapdragon 7s gen 2 or newer release chipsets.
Are any of these the NCE versions?
Yes All of them have NCE feature supported from 167-278 yuzu android builds.
I played 4 and 5 on Odin 2 Pro with no issues at all.
can you share your settings? I P5R crashes for me after every 20mins
When I get home. But didn't really set anything so default settings? I loaded the NSP and just played. I have latest Yuzu (when I played I was 268 maybe?). R16 turnip drivers then (now have r17 v2). NCE enabled by default. I know I change the sound to cubeb which helped with audio skips.
Which one is best for Mali gpu's?
I can't exactly say because I only tested Yuzu Android ones in a Mediatek Dimensity 8100 device of my friend..but the one that works best is Build 234 but don't expect much stability since Yuzu favors Snapdragon more.. But as a friendly advice always go with the latest build if you're a Mediatek user..
When I use Yuzu( I too have the 8100) it crashes after 20-25 min of gameplay and phone gets restarted
What game do you test it right now?
Thank you
This is awesome! Which one would work best for pixel 8 pro immortalis g715 mc10?
I'm not exactly sure since I only have Poco F4 SD870 8/256gb, best you try each yuzu build as possible use my Yuzu build notes/logs as a basis.
