This article lists the system requirements for ExaGear RPG/Strategies/Windows Emulator.
ExaGear Strategies/RPG System Requirements
In 2014, to run ExaGear Strategies/RPG, you needed a phone/tablet with: ARMv7(Neon) processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and Android 3 or higher operating system. From version ExaGear Strategies 3.1.9 requires Android 5 and above.
ExaGear Windows Emulator System Requirements
ExaGear Windows Emulator was released in 2017. The requirements are the same as for RPG/Strategies, but the minimum version of Android is already 4.x. As of version 2.6.8, Android 5 is already required.
System requirements for using unofficial 3D acceleration
VirGL Overlay
VirGL Overlay uses virgl-renderer as the renderer. To run VirGL Overlay in Exagear, you need any graphics accelerator with support for OpenGL ES 2.1(3.0) and higher. Author of original development VirGL Overlay mittorn, author of modifications alexvorxx.. Instructions for using VirGL in ExaGear can be found here.
VirtIO-GPU
VirtIO-GPU in Exagear uses virgl_vtest_server, OpenGL renderer is Turnip+Zink open drivers. To work, you need an Adreno 618+ graphics accelerator. Adreno 610,612 are not supported.
Turnip+Zink
Turnip open source Vulkan driver for Adreno. It uses device files /dev/kgsl-3d0, /dev/dri/card0 to work. It requires graphic accelerator Adreno 618+ to run it. Zink is a translator of Vulkan to OpenGL, it can be run on any GPU that supports Vulkan. It can be useful for GPUs that support Vulkan but do not have full OpenGL, using OpenGL ES instead. Turnip+Zink are part of the Mesa drivers.
Issues with Snapdragon processors when using Turnip+Zink, VirtIO-GPU
When using Turnip+Zink, VirtIO-GPU on processors: Snapdragon 720,845,855,860 there are problems with threads. Because of this, some games, such as the Stalker series of games, may not start.
Trouble running ExaGear on Huawei devices
On Huawei devices with Android 10 and above, there are problems running ExaGear. What is the reason is unknown, but it is worth trying to run ExaGear even if the device is from Huawei.
