Android games have always been hampered by iOS. Although many major games have been launched synchronously, many good games still need to be migrated from iOS. With the addition of PPSSPP, a PSP simulator, Android's game resources have suddenly increased. This article is a horizontal comparative test of Android's PSP simulation games.
PPSSPP simulator supports Android and PC platforms. Although it is not a new software, it has gradually supported many games on the PSP platform after continuous improvement, and the software has been upgraded to version 0.61. In this test, Qualcomm's "special" floating point enhanced version and the latest 0.6-493 were used for testing.
testing environment
Software:
PPSSPP Qualcomm's "special" floating point enhanced version and the latest 0.6-493 version
mobile phone:
APQ8064: Xiaomi 2 、 Find5 、 Z5 、 Nexus 4
Exynos 4412:Galaxy Note 2
Tegra3:One X+
Flat:
Exynos 5250: Nexus 10
game:
Death: soul warming 7 (Chinese version), masked knight super peak hero (Japanese version)
Because APQ8064 platform performs well in this simulator test, the mobile phones of this platform are mainly tested in the test. In addition, this simulator only supports single thread for the time being, so multi-core processors can not play a role here. It puts forward high requirements for the CPU's single thread processing ability, so the Cortex-A15 processor test is also specially added here. In addition, it should be noted that the simulator is not affected by the resolution of the machine itself. Here, the CPU's single thread performance and GPU's processing power are measured.
Of course, today's protagonist PPSSPP is the first to appear. The menu style of this software is relatively simple ▼
When entering the settings, there are many parameters to choose from. Because the sound effect of the simulator is not perfect and will affect the performance, it is closed uniformly. In addition, 2X anti aliasing is uniformly enabled to improve the image quality, which will also affect the performance. The parameter setting in the test is shown in the figure ▼
Real time frame monitoring can be carried out during the game, which will certainly affect the smoothness of the game ▼
Frame number test result
Millet 2
The god of death 7 has high fluency. Most scenes are maintained at more than 40 frames. The game process is very smooth ▼
Masquerade Knight and Xiaomi 2 performed well in this game, basically around 50 frames. I believe that through the next optimization, it will not be difficult to reach full frames ▼
HTC Butterfly
God of Death 7, like Xiaomi 2, Butterfly also maintains a high frame number in God of Death, which can meet the requirements of smooth operation ▼
The frame number of masked knight Butterfly is even higher than that of Xiaomi 2, which is very smooth and playable ▼
OPPO Find5
The god of death 7 uses the APQ8064 processor, but because of the differences in optimization, the frame number of Find5 is much lower than Butterfly ▼
Masquerade Knights, Find5 is about 40 frames in the Masquerade Knights, which can basically meet the requirements of fluency ▼
nubia Z5
The performance of Death 7 and Z5 in this game is poor, and many scenes are less than 30 frames, which cannot guarantee smoothness ▼
The performance of the masked knight Z5 is also average, and there is a certain gap between Z5 and other APQ8064 phones ▼
Google Nexus 4
The god of death 7 and Nexus 4 behave well in this game and basically reach the playable level ▼
Masked knight, high frame number, smooth picture ▼
Samsung Galaxy Note II
Death 7, low frame number, only 20 or 30 frames ▼
The masked knight has a mapping error. It seems that Note II has compatibility problems with this game ▼
In addition, the number of frames after adding the Galaxy Note II overclocking 1.8GHz and upgrading to the latest 502 simulator has basically reached 40 frames, which can run smoothly ▼
HTC One X+
Death 7, the frame number is not very stable, often less than 30 frames, not very smooth ▼
The number of frames of the masked knight is also unstable. At the lowest time, it drops to nearly 20 frames, which is not smooth ▼
Google Nexus 10
With the powerful processing ability of A15, the Nexus 10 basically keeps 50 frames even in Death 7, and its performance is very powerful ▼
The masked knights and Nexus 10 perform well among the masked knights, and the minimum frame number is more than 40, which meets the requirements of smoothness, but there is still a gap between them and the mobile phones that perform better in APQ8064 ▼
In general, Butterfly, Xiaomi 2 and Nexus 10 performed best in this test. They both performed well in the two games, while Galaxy Note II played poorly due to compatibility problems. For the PPSSPP simulator, the software version and game compatibility will have a great impact on the actual game performance, so the results of this test cannot fully explain the performance between platforms. However, for the five mobile phones of APQ8064, the performance in the simulator is uneven, which also shows the gap of manufacturers in SoC performance optimization.
