Yuzu Android Opengl Driver Exclusive Updated Direct

These are proprietary drivers extracted directly from Qualcomm devices or firmware (such as the Oculus Quest). They are the "official" baseline.

However, they are sometimes locked down by manufacturers and may lack specific Vulkan extensions required by Yuzu.
