However, Mali devices are starting to get their own custom drivers now and that means a lot of improvements.
Essentially, you use these for better compatibility, better performance and better features in a lot of emulators, but mostly to fix emulators like Azahar, ARMSX2, ARMSX3, Eden, GameNative, GameHub and so on.
In a lot of cases, if you have a Mali device listed below, this is just necessary to use.
The List
This list below is just based on my testing and knowledge as well as what the community has said is the best option for each processor.
Using these drivers depends on the emulator – all of my emulator setup guides talk about when and where to use custom drivers, and the below is just to help you download them to use.
I’ve included multiple options for some processors as it’s not always the case that one custom driver is the best for all scenarios, so you’ll want to try the different options.

If you just want the best custom drivers that are widely compatible and work across a whole bunch of processors, this is them:
