<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Is panfrost installed by default for radxa zero 2 pro armbian?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I seen your video about over clocking armbian, any tips on safe over clock numbers for whatever board? I'm using radxa zero 2 pro
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Trying to squeeze some extra frames from emulators 🙂
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Which emulator?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Ppsspp and dolphin
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I'm sure this thing can run GameCube at 30fps (currently getting between 20 and 23)
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Ppsspp is mostly fine at 2x without frameskip and 3x is so close. Dolphin runs at native resolution and doesn't quite make it to 30
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Ppsspp is mostly fine at 2x without frameskip and 3x is so close. Dolphin runs at native resolution and doesn't quite make it to 30 @microlinux
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Nahh, you are not going to gain anything by OC
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Try this PAN_MESA_DEBUG=gl3,forcepack,crc at /etc/environment at any blank line. And you should use the latest mesa drivers
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> So, kisak ppa or so
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Forcepack works from mesa 24
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It uses AFBC, it should improve performance
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I did experience gains from gpu overlooking
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It can go up to 1.0 ghz
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I did experience gains by gpu overlooking
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I did experience gains by doing gpu overclooking
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> So, just add another entry on the dtb with 99999...the amount of 9s to match the last frequency digits (probably 800 mhz)
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Thank you I'll try these out when I get home tomorrow. Much appreciated dude
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I reached 1800 points on glmark2-wayland
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> On that board
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I never try benchmarks so not sure. Is enough for GameCube?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> No, GameCube needs something we don't have on the driver right now. OpenGL ES 3.2 extensions
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It's being discussed to add them after vulkan
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> This or a vulkan driver
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Did you notice radxa only release emmc android? No micro SD
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Bc android only works from emmc
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> My board has no emmc so no android 🤷‍♂️
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It has to be hacked to get it working from microsd
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Yeh it's a bit weird, the rock5 has SD android
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> They should hack it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> But that uses rockchip
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It's up to the vendor to make it easier.. or not
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Not radxa
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Oh yeah, they should
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I should have got emmc version I am stupid
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I mean, one can run newer versions of android from sd, but not from amlogic, so, no video decoding...
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> How is video with the android on this board? Any GameCube in that world?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I guess no
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Sorry
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I didn't understand the question
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I mean dolphin on android, does it perform better than dolphin on armbian?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Maybe
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I don't know
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> I mean vice city definitive looks great which is PS2 ish
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Once we get vulkan and opengl 3.2 on panfrost, it should do vulkan
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Ohh sure. The android game
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> That would run just fine
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Any timeline on 3.2?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> No idea, after vulkan. And tbh, once vulkan, you use vulkan on dolphin
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Maybe batocera will do an image at that point
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> So, you don't need 3.2 es
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Sure, batocera runs mainline, and they would love to have vulkan on mali gpus
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Yeh batocera is a nice luxury, I made a little handheld with it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> For media consumption, coreelec runs great on the radxa zero and zero 2
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Niceee
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> It was pretty cool but I gave it to a friend so making another
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> That was rpi4
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Pretty sweet actually, batocera and psp was mostly fine
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I would get an N97 mini pc and run batocera on it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> There's some nice power stuff out there. It's just nice having all these retros handheld. Tempted to buy a ready made one. There's some gorgeous devices out there
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I've capped N100 at 6 watts, and even then, running old windows games from linux just works outstandingly
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Such low power. Lol my desktop is 600watts
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Probably pulling 300 at any given time
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> By comparison 6 watts is like an ant compared to a cow
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Well, that's just the tdp, but the board itself should max out at 11 watts or so including everything else
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Unreal really. GTG
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <_stej> Thanks again. Will post back tomorrow
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Hacked my good old fifa 2005 to run it at glorious 1080p.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> It was a mayhem (had to use an hex editor) but it looks superb
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Also, old games do require to be cracked even if uou have the original copy.. it's not secure to run them on windows anymore.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Linux is getting a lot better for old school pc gaming
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> I've just tested bleeding edge stuff and it's insane
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Wayland mode: works fine
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> 64 bit mode (so, it doesn't neeed 32 bit libraries to run 32 bit windows software) : works fine
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Dxvk even added dx8 support ootb, so, it has a great library covered
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> If we had dxvk capable hw on arm, we should also be able to run a lot of old school stuff
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> But only adreno gpus are capable
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> And gallium nine (the native directx 9 driver for linux) is dead. So, it's having dxvk or nothing
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> For example, these were windows x86 games running on the zero pro with gallium nine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygAvWoOZ7BA
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> But it's dead as right now
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> The main dev dropped it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> Right now everything is about vulkan and dxvk
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> And the gpu hw on the arm ecosystem (except adreno) isn't capable of dxvk. That includes rpi5 and apple silicon gpu
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <microlinux> And the mali gpus
