PS2 emulation on Android just got a big upgrade on older Pixels as well as MediaTek devices

What happened

This popular PS2 emulator now offers better performance if you've got a device with a Mali-powered GPU (a chip built for many calculations at once, used for graphics and AI). This driver should deliver better performance in many games if you’ve got a device with a Mali GPU. Google is an Internet and software company based in Mountain View.

This is good news if you want to play PS2 games on your older Pixel, or on another device with Mali graphics. A big reason for this is that custom Turnip drivers are exclusive to Snapdragon-toting devices, bringing performance and stability gains over the default GPU driver. Now, there’s good news if you have a non-Snapdragon phone or handheld and want improved performance for PS2 games.
