GameHub Brings PC Game Emulation to MediaTek-Powered Android Phones with Major Mali GPU Upgrade

One of Android’s biggest strengths is its PC-like versatility, and nowhere is that more evident than in PC game emulation. If you’ve ever dreamed of running classic or even modern Windows PC games on your Android phone, emulators like GameHub and Winlator make it possible.

GameHub, developed by GameSir—a brand known for its high-quality game controllers—has become one of the top choices for PC game emulation on Android. Until now, the best experience was reserved for devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and Adreno GPUs, but that’s changing fast.

GameSir has officially announced a major breakthrough for MediaTek users:

GameHub now supports MediaTek Dimensity 9000 through 9400 series chipsets with Mali GPUs, offering performance that matches or even exceeds Adreno GPUs in certain gaming scenarios.

What’s new?

DirectX9 to DirectX11 games now run smoother on Mali-powered phones.

Performance is now “comparable to Qualcomm Adreno,” says GameHub—and may even surpass it in some cases.

Improvements to Vulkan implementation, driver support, and shader compiler stability on Mali GPUs.

A custom-built "code conversion mechanism" now translates DirectX instructions for Mali GPUs.

Runtime optimizations fill in the gaps where driver support was previously missing.

MediaTek + GameHub = Big Leap Forward

GameHub’s development team is now working directly with MediaTek to create Mali-specific drivers aimed at better emulation performance. This is a big deal for gamers using devices powered by MediaTek's Dimensity SoCs, which are especially popular across Asian, African, and emerging markets.

Interestingly, this could also benefit Google Pixel users, since Google’s custom Tensor chips also use Mali GPUs. GameHub’s collaboration with MediaTek may lead to improved PC game emulation across a wider range of Android phones.

With this update, Android users with Mali GPUs finally get in on the PC gaming action—without needing to switch to a Snapdragon device.
