GPU driver advice

Turnip (Mesa) is the go-to. Qualcomm's stock drivers on 6xx are old and weaker for Switch/PC emulation.

Day-one checklist

  1. Install all OTA system updates first.
  2. Use Performance mode for most games and High performance + Smart/Sport fan for Switch/PC games.
  3. Install a custom Adreno driver for Switch/PC/3DS emulators (guide).
  4. Set up a frontend and save backups (full checklist).
