DroidDeck requirements
DroidDeck 0.5.0 needs Android 9 or newer and a supported Adreno GPU: 730 or newer, or 8xx. Adreno 6xx is experimental. Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR, and Adreno 710 are unsupported. Meeting this list does not mean a particular Windows game will run.
| Android | 9 or newer. |
|---|---|
| Supported GPU | Adreno 730 or newer, or Adreno 8xx. |
| Experimental GPU | Adreno 6xx. DirectX 11 uses DXVK 2 and may run. DirectX 12 games can still crash. |
| Unsupported GPU | Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR, and Adreno 710. |
| Root | Not required. |
| Storage | About 3 GB for the runtime, about 1.1 GB more for the desktop and emulators, plus space for the games. |
| Android 14+ | Turn on Disable child process restrictions in Developer options before Steam starts. |
| Android 12 and 13 | If that developer option is missing, the first Steam launch offers Fix it for me. |
The source is the 0.5.0 README. Hardware validation there is limited. To see which named phones and handhelds map to these GPU lines, open compatibility.
Find the GPU in the phone maker's spec sheet, or in Settings if the device lists the chip. A browser on this site cannot detect it. Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is Adreno 725, which the README does not name, so it is not treated as Adreno 730.
