MdiEx 2200 V2.2

MdiEx 2200 v2.2

Updated Vulkan driver package for Galaxy S22 devices using Samsung Xclipse 920 GPUs, introducing a dedicated Vortek Vulkan layer focused on BC4/BC5 texture decode handling for improved compatibility in Winlator environments.

What’s New

New Vulkan Layer: VK_LAYER_VORTEK_XCLIPSE — Vortek has been restructured from a helper renderer library into a standalone Vulkan layer (libVkLayer_VortekXclipse.so) focused on BC4/BC5 upload decode handling.

BC4/BC5 Decode Step 4 — the new layer introduces an updated decode path specialized for BC4 and BC5 compressed textures, extending the previous generic BCn compatibility behavior.

Optional Layer Control — the Vortek layer can now be disabled independently using:

DISABLE_VORTEK_XCLIPSE_LAYER=1

Development Notes

The jump from package version 5 to 13 reflects multiple unpublished internal revisions and compatibility experiments between v2.0 and v2.2.

Current development remains focused on the Samsung Xclipse 920 driver branch due to better game compatibility compared to newer Xclipse variants.

Winlator Ludashi 2.8.2 is currently recommended.
Ludashi 3.0 may present global color inversion issues with the Xclipse 920 driver.

Requirements

Android 14 (API 34) or higher
