Description
On a non-rooted Shield TV Pro,when running Banjo-Tooie or Conker's Bad Fur Day,the shadows are completely missing,even after changing the polygon settings a few times as well as trying very high accuracy.
Possibly also affects other games that use dynamic shadows.
This one is irritating because Glide64 is the one thing that should have flawless shadows since before GLideN64 came into existance.
A screenshot would exhibit simply lacking shadows in each game,so I think one would not be needed.
On Conker,NPCs including the N logo models,and enemies are also missing their shadows,not just Conker.
I don't know if shadows worked in these games before in much older builds,but I feel like they did,but maybe a chance not on Android then either.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a non-rooted Shield TV Pro in Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day, then inspect the Glide64 Android shadow-rendering path and compare polygon and accuracy settings. Done means dynamic shadows render for characters, NPCs, and enemies in both games without regressions.
