DroidDeck expands Android support beyond Snapdragon phones
DroidDeck, an Android app for emulating PC games, now works on more phones with its version 0.70 update.
It previously supported only devices with high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, but now also supports MediaTek, Google Tensor and Samsung Exynos chipsets.
The app automatically looks for the drivers needed for the device’s graphics chip.
The update adds a desktop-style interface to the second screen on supported dual-screen devices, which can also show performance information.
Users can also find Steam game libraries set up in other PC emulators, so they do not have to install the same game again.
These changes make PC game emulation available on a wider range of Android devices and add more ways to use the app on dual-screen handhelds.
The update also includes faster Steam library loading, smoother performance on devices with limited memory and automatic updates to the Proton compatibility layer.
DroidDeck version 0.70 expands support beyond flagship Snapdragon chips to devices with MediaTek, Google Tensor and Samsung Exynos chipsets.
The Android PC game emulator now supports Mali, PowerVR and Xclipse GPUs.
The update adds a dual-screen interface that can show a Linux desktop or performance statistics on the screen not displaying a game.
DroidDeck can now find Steam game libraries created by other PC emulators, allowing users to share an installed game across apps.
The update also brings faster Steam library loading, smoother performance on low-memory devices and automatic Proton compatibility-layer updates.
