The AI took a phone emulator from crashing at 2 frames a second to a playable 30

The AI used an adb and profiling harness to take the Eden emulator on a Pixel 10 from crashing to 2 fps to 20-30 fps in Breath of the Wild.

How it works

  1. The AI uses a debug bridge and profiling harness
  2. Takes the emulator on his phone from crashing at 2 frames per second to 20 to 30 in a demanding game

Why it’s worth knowing

From crash to 30 frames is the whole arc of performance work.
