Is this without overclock?

This is probably to early to ask but how are the ps2 resident evil games, is outbreak playable. I just know I still need a new sd card, I only have 1gb left.

That’s not surprising since the EE thread is normally the one bumping off 100% if the scene isn’t GPU bound. And which games? I’ve noticed some games have some broken effects, but I’ve never seen anything game breaking.

Steambot Chronicles.

It's not anything seriously "game breaking", but it's pretty close, since I think the game isn't very visible at times.

With no overclock.

Interesting. I'd consider that game breaking. I'll look into it when I get a chance and see what's up with the renderer in that game.

With no overclock.

Anything running full speed with no overclock is insane. Besides emulated titles I haven't seen anything close to that in any of the games I've tested.

Downloading just to test Silent Hill 2... fingers crossed.

Fog is a known good way to just destroy GPU performance (see Persona 4), but best of luck. There will be a new release somewhat soon that has a bunch of GPU optimisations, so that may help some if performance is abysmal.

Is this real life?

Even better; this is gbatemp!

Only get black screen

4 fps max. in the bathroom (handheld, with my oc settings at max) and black screen upon trying to exit. Good news is that there's no fog problems... since i can´t go outside .
It's very interesting seeing the emu running on switch and play with the configs a little, thank you very much for your work, it's amazing!.

On what game?

Megaman x collection.iso
Edit : how to enable fastmod
And rendered not set to automatic

New version has been released https://github.com/PalindromicBreadLoaf/ARMSX2-NX/releases/tag/v1.2.0

This should help with anything GPU bound. Also be sure to set blending accuracy to minimum for free performance unless it breaks the game.

Megaman x collection.iso

I'll have to look into it to see if the same happens on upstream ARMSX2. A lot of blackscreens I've encountered also happen there which means it'll take longer for me to figure out the issue.

Wow that's the worst performing game I've ever seen yet. Impressive. I got Code Veronica running at consistently 90% speed during gameplay. Cutscenes are a bit lower around 75-85%.

Cutscenes now run at 20~ fps and i got 6 fps in bathroom area, the black screen was just low fps and low patience for my part haha, now i got outside! still unplayable but very cool nonetheless; the cutscene improvement was huge too.

With the new update (v1.2.0) and every "accurate" graphics setting enabled, while docked and overclocked.




This is a game that even the PS3's PS2 software emulator struggles to play at full speed, honestly.

I can also confirm that CHD files will load and play.

Couldn't get Aerial Planet onto my micro SD card (since it's slightly beyond the 4Gb FAT32 limit) until compressing it to CHD.
