Community Context (r/EmulationOnAndroid): "I have 8gen 3 i think on 8 Elite or Newer chip it is fully playable while not screen recording i was getting around 20 to 30 sometimes isn't even locked 30." — Credit to BachataS4 developer.

Mobile PS4 Emulation Frame Rate & Latency Mechanics

Read the explanation

The emulator projects target frame rates using chipset performance envelopes, starting at twenty-eight point five frames per second on Snapdragon 8 Elite. Enabling native screen recording applies an immediate seven point five frame per second penalty, dropping sustained throughput and spiking frametime variance. Translating frames per second into render latency reveals frame times shifting from thirty-five milliseconds up to forty-seven point six milliseconds per frame. Re-enabling the 30FPS timing patch and Turnip driver suppresses shader stalls, returning the system to stable playable pacing.
