Balemuni´s – Apex Edition

Balemuni´s Turnip Mesa 26.3.0-devel (Apex Edition) is a bleeding-edge, highly optimized, and extremely stable custom Vulkan driver for all Adreno GPUs, with dedicated tuning for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (AYN Thor) as well as universal support across all Adreno devices.

This release comes in two dedicated builds:

👑 Ultimate Edition (SD8 Gen 2 / AYN Thor): Specially tuned for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and modern Adreno 7xx/8xx devices for peak performance.
🌍 Universal Edition (All Adreno): Fully compatible with all Adreno GPUs (6xx, 7xx, 8xx / Snapdragon 660 to 8 Gen 3) on any Android 11+ device.
Built from the newest Mesa upstream branch, this release introduces major low-level innovations:

Global Code Motion (GCM) in IR3: Drastically reduces shader register pressure and boosts 3D framerates.
4 GB Default Shader Cache: Eliminates shader compilation stutter in massive open-world games (Zelda: TOTK, Zelda: BOTW).
Zelda TOTK Black Blocks Fix: Completely resolves the infamous black square glitches and texture flickering.
512 KB Suballocator Pools: Minimizes memory fragmentation and kernel CPU overhead during heavy gameplay.
100% Crash-Free Multi-Cluster Stability: Rock-solid performance across all Big.LITTLE CPU cores without crashes.
This build delivers top-tier performance and flawless visual rendering in Eden, Citron, Cemu, PPSSPP, Azahar, Vita3K, Winlator, and native Android games.

I created Balemuni´s to be fully independent and to build a driver that is more modern, faster, and more stable than anything currently available.

More versions and updates will follow!

Balemuni´s Firz Release

Balemuni´s – Firz Version (Turnip Mesa 26.1.6)

Balemuni´s Turnip Mesa 26.1.6 is a highly optimized and extremely stable Vulkan driver for all Adreno GPUs.
Built for gaming and emulation, it delivers strong performance across a wide range of Android devices — not only Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 hardware.

This release includes modern Turnip features, advanced low‑level optimizations, and excellent compatibility with Eden, PPSSPP, Cemu, Azahar, and other Vulkan-based emulators.

I created Balemuni´s to be fully independent from the few existing custom Turnip developers — with the goal of building a driver that is more stable, more modern, and better optimized than anything currently available.

More versions will follow, bringing additional improvements, optimizations, and updated Mesa/Turnip bases.
