[HIgh Res 3D Rendering] Drains battery very quickly !!!!!

Can you please optimize High Res 3D Rendering and Multi-Threaded 3D Rendering because me and my younger sister like to play DS games with HD graphics but turning these two settings on crunches through the battery very fast...please do something :(

Turn Multi-threaded 3D off. Unless you're playing a 3D-heavy game you don't need it. In fact, the setting causes more issues than it fixes.

You can also find me on Reddit (u/Ericbazinga) and Discord (in the DraStic Discord server). You'll find me in those places almost daily and here almost never.

well yes some games has minor graphical glitches but its not that noticeable...plus it runs 100fps on my smartphone but at the cost of battery...I don't really mind it but I wish to play longer plus DS graphics originally without HD is a ugly...Hate pixelation

ahh forgot playing 3D games with High Res 3D rendering on but Multi-Thread 3D Rendering off makes the game choppy and not smooth. Like Mario kart for example.

Sorry, but there isn't really a lot more room to optimize the rendering (or the rest of the emulation, but especially the rendering). Some small gains are possible, but not a lot. Hires is just very demanding.

The only possible option for more efficiency is if there's an OpenGL ES renderer in the future, but even then I don't yet know if it'll make a big difference or not, and I don't know what other compromises will be involved. Or if it will happen in general. If it does it will probably require ES 3.0 or better.

the Filter options makes the graphics look 50% less pixelated but only High Resolution 3D Rendering really makes 3D objects look crisp take mario kart ds for example
