Hey guys,
There are tons of Android Boxes out there. I decided to get a ATV 1800e which is based on the Amlogic S802B. These are the specs.
CPU
Amlogic M8 Quad Core up to 2.0GHz (Cortex-A9)
GPU
Octa core ARM Mali-450 GPU up to 600MHz
RAM
DDR3 2GB
My concern is the following. I ran the Antutu Benchmark and this box scored pretty close to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which is awesome for emulators.
But on this box Retroarch and any of the .Emu emulators run super slow with shaders enabled. Actually on the .Emu emulators I can use 2x Scale but not HQ2X.
On the Note 3 HQ2X runs very smooth on any of the .Emu emulators. Is it just my box, maybe it has crappy OpenGL support due to drivers? Does anyone else have a box with similar specs that can use the HQ2X shader on the .Emu emulators or any emulator that supports it like Retroarch?
I do notice that the colors are totally wrong when I choose the HQ2x shader and the speed drops a lot. I would think a box with these specs should handle this. Specially since the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 handles it with no issues and according to Antutu they have about the same performance.
