Given that our experience with mobile drivers has been… less than good this article will talk about that in details laterwe are really curious to see how good NVIDIA drivers for the Tegra 4 SoC are.
We could almost have called NVIDIA "perfect" for our use case here, but their drivers actually have a few minor issues that are not directly bugs. It basically works great on the subset of OpenGL we use. Here is basically our hall of shame of graphics drivers, sorted by the number of issues we found, how hard it is to report issues to the company and how many bugs were actually fixed. Sadly, using recent, advanced OpenGL features also meant we got to discover how bad some graphics drivers actually are at doing their job. This rewrite was merged into the main Dolphin codebase a few months back and started to be used by tens of thousands of Dolphin users, either on OS X and Linux where it is the only viable graphics backend, or on Windows where it is available alongside our D3D11 graphics backend. While this rewrite was needed for other reasons it provides the foundations for very cool optimizationscompatibility with mobile devices and the future Android port of the emulator now in beta was one of the key goals.
