Video Description

Today, I’ll be doing another emulation test to see how Pokemon Legends: Arceus plays on Android with the help of Yuzu. I have three phones that I plan on testing today, each with a different chipset inside.

So first we’ll start off by testing the latest Qualcomm mobile chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Then we will see how well the game can be emulated on a mid-range chip from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2.
And then we’ll wrap up this video by testing the latest Google Tensor G3 chipset with the help of the Pixel 8.

Before we start though, I want to point out that I’m using the latest version of Yuzu for Android that was released on GitHub. You are likely to get similar performance compared to the version in the Google Play Store but the version of GitHub tends to be updated faster.

However, if you’d like to make sure you’re using the exact same version that I have here today, be sure to check the video description below as I’ll include a direct download link to that APK file in there.

I also have the latest version of Arceus installed.
And I have not changed anything within the Settings of Yuzu for Android.

This means I have NCE enabled and that I’m using the stock system driver instead of a custom one. The benefits of a custom driver tend to be very device specific. So if you have one that works well with your smartphone or tablet, then you are likely to get better performance than what you see here today.

The first device I’ll be testing here today is the Redmi K70 Pro and it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC inside.

Next up, let’s test to see how Pokemon Legends: Arceus plays on a mid-range phone with the help of the Redmi Note 13 Pro.
This device has the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip inside so we’re likely to see FPS numbers a bit lower than what we just saw.

Last up I would like to see how the Pixel 8 can emulate this game. It has the Tensor G3 chip inside and this will give us a good idea as to how well a Mali GPU performs with a game like this.

I would be curious to learn if any of you have been able to get this game to play well on Yuzu for Android. I have seen videos and posts from people saying they at least got the textures to load properly. Even though there were still some graphical glitches still present.

So share which phone you have, which driver you’re using, the version of Yuzu for Android you have installed and any additional settings we should make note of.

Also, if you have a Nintendo Switch game that you would like to see an emulation test about, let me know down in the comments section below. I have a handful of games that I already plan on testing, but if I see there’s demand for a specific one then I’ll be happy to give that one a test.
