Mesa Turnip driver – v26.0.0 – Revision 7

🚨 Mesa Turnip v26.0.0 (Rev 7) just dropped! 🎮

Big win for Android emulators & Steam Deck fans: Mesa now proudly shouts “DECK_EMU” — meaning games like Hades, Celeste, or Dead Cells won’t kick you out with “unsupported GPU” errors anymore! 🚫💻

🔧 What’s new & pro tips:

• ✅ Adreno 710/720 users: Use Gmem driver in Winlator — disable “sysmem”, enable “gmem” via `TU_DEBUG=gmem`
• 📱 All Android emulators: Gmem still the king for performance & stability
• 💥 One UI glitches? Set `FD_DEV_FEATURES=enable_tp_ubwc_flag_hint=1` to fix rendering artifacts
• 🚀 Upstream Mesa fixes = smoother FPS, fewer crashes, better memory handling

⚠️ Still using the old autotuner? Stick with v25.3.0 if you need that version — this one’s all about the Deck ID magic!

Shoutout to Karmjit, Connor, StevenMXP & the Mesa crew — you’re keeping Turnip alive and kicking! 🙌

Now go run modern indie gems on your retro rig — Hades won’t quit you mid-run anymore. 💪
