Project update: slower issue responses this week

[mamcjr]

Hi everyone! A quick update on BOTWRecompAndroid: replies to issues will be slower this week. Over the past four days, I’ve devoted my time to getting Swap2-Native off the ground, and I’ve used up my available development tokens for the week.

I don’t expect to publish another BOTWRecompAndroid update before November 13. You can still open issues and share logs; I’ll catch up with them as soon as I can.

Thank you for all the support, patience, and kindness you’ve shown this project. It means a lot to me!

Do you have any plans to work on Echoes of Wisdom?

[mamcjr]

Yes, Echoes of Wisdom is a game I’d like to work on, but I’m not planning a separate project for it. My goal with Swap2-Native is to bring Switch games to Android natively in one place, instead of creating a different port for every game.

Each game would have its own profile for the adjustments and optimizations it needs. It’s still early, so I can’t promise when Echoes of Wisdom will be supported, but that’s the direction I’m working toward.

That's awesome! I'll keep following your project.

Thank you for this port. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions regarding the D9400+ chipset. While it can mostly run at 30 fps, some areas still drop to 22-25 fps, especially when changing weapons or accessing inventory.

I measured the chipset and it's running at a fairly relaxed 40-50% capacity. Could you run it at a higher power to achieve higher FPS? Temperature doesn't seem to be a major issue.

Can we expect Mali compatibility on Swap2-Native?

[mamcjr]

Yes, definitely! However, it might still take some time. Mali is a very different and challenging environment compared to Adreno (especially with lack of native BC texture compression, memory mapping differences, and driver quirks).

As we continue to develop and implement new optimization methods and memory workarounds, getting it to run smoothly on Mali devices should definitely be achievable in the future. Thanks for your patience!
