Settings and findings

What the reviewer found in this video at the time. Newer app versions can behave differently.

Tested hardware: Retroid Pocket Duo Lite

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D remains a poor experience in this Lite test from before GammaOS. The reviewer first misnames the driver and corrects it, tries an unnamed Turnip build, then selects the system driver; the final test still struggles. The Azahar variant, build and resolution are unknown.

emulator
Called Azahar; fork and build unverified
driver
Initial driver misidentified; unnamed Turnip trial; final system driver

Taken from what the reviewer says; the settings on screen weren't checked.

More detail
  • Tested on a Duo Lite; the regular Duo may differ.
  • The first reading of roughly 25 fps came before the reviewer corrected the driver name, so it may not be the system driver’s result.
