If Steam closes right after you tap Play, use v0.5.3.1.

APK: DroidDeck-MaliBridge-v0.5.3.apk, with the Mali bridge on from the start. New here? See the install guide and Does my device work?

Highlights

  • Steam mode on older Mali GPUs (G77, G710, G610, G57 and others on the same driver generation): Steam no longer stops at "starting display and audio". Thanks zachlagan and FireAngelx.
  • OpenGL 4.6 on most Malis (G720, G615, G610, G710, G925, Dimensity 9500, Pixel 8), so LÖVE and Godot games start. G57 and G68 get OpenGL 4.2. Thanks 937797140.
  • Dimensity 9500: a fix for scrambled textures (Library of Ruina, Lobotomy Corporation, Hollow Knight, Hades). Thanks ItsNotYJ and Ainlyy.
  • Little Nightmares III: a fix for the black screen on the Dimensity 9500. Thanks mmtmt123.
  • Huawei Kirin and Exynos 9820: a fix for Steam not starting. Thanks FireAngelx and timothyjustiniano.
  • Xiaomi XRing O1: should work without a workaround. Thanks AzusaKe and AHin16.

Other changes

  • Galaxy S26+ (Xclipse): a fix for Steam not starting.
  • Share logs now includes Proton's log for each game.
  • Stopping a session no longer looks like a crash in the logs.
  • The session report shows the real MaliBridge version.

Tested

  • Galaxy Tab S10+ (G720): Celeste, Stardew Valley, Risk of Rain Returns, Inscryption, Hollow Knight, Cuphead and Hades all run as before.
  • Not confirmed on these phones yet: Dimensity 9500 textures, Little Nightmares III, Kirin/Exynos 9820, XRing O1, Xclipse, and Steam mode on a real G77/G710. Please tell me how it goes on yours.

Coming next

Optimization across the board. I have good plans in place.
