tested Silent Scope NTSC US, emu v.1.0.2, the viewfinder works perfect here.
I am now get Quake III decent playable with 1 Bot, testing some maps.
new testing stuff :
Per Triangle: highest balance between accuracy and speed. There might be some few texture/sorting glitches depending of the game
Per Strip: The fastest option avaliable, though it can definitely cause some graphical/sorting issues depending of the game
Automatic Frame Skipping: Normal skips frames if both CPU and GPU are having slowdown, while Maximum skips frames if the GPU is having slowdown.
VSync: Might add a tiny amount of input delay and performance drops in low-end machines, but gets rid of tearing on-screen
Per Strip = FASTEST
Automatic Frame Skipping = Normal skips both CPU and GPU (Maximum skips frames only of GPU)
VSync = OFF (performance drops in low-end machines)
Downclock = 4000
Enable DSP = OFF (Improves the accuracy of generated sound, but increases performance requirements.)
Delay Frame Swapping : Not recommended on slow platforms. This setting only applies when 'Threaded Rendering' is enabled.
Threaded Rendering : Restart Required
Auto Skip Frame : This setting only applies when 'Threaded Rendering' is enabled.
GD-ROM Fast Loading : MISSING OPTION - Speeds up GD-ROM loading.
Multiple-disc games : disk swapping
Extra Note : ZIP file works only for SEGA NAOMI games, not Dreamcast games. "chd|cdi|elf|bin|cue|gdi|lst|zip|dat|7z|m3u"
- FlyCast's core provided aspect ratio is 4/3.

hmm. I promise you, Silent Scope works fine for me. Do you use Per Strip setting ?

At least MVC2 works but now that I have a steamdeck it doesn't really matter as much. Was hoping rinnegatamante would get it running at decent speed and fix the graphics glitches but I'm not holding my breath. Steamdeck plays it just right.
the interest and the prowess and to have developed it on vita precisely!
I was happy to see that I can progress past one stage in MVC2. I take Vita with me on all of my plane trips, so MVC2 working fully would actually still be decent. Steamdeck is kinda big for travel imho but probably doable.
@ realtimesave :
Some games works decent good and mostly with perfect textures. The emulator is still usefull and I am thankfull.
@ jeferey :
We need a update, only more framerate, textures all fine. We have a other problem :
Rinnegatamante had say that flycast has a core problem and he do not know what it is and the framerate fall down for no reason. Now I was reading the original info from flycast and its also saying it has a core problem. In this fact Rinnegatamante must stop wondering about that. The second point is that we have a handfull of games that crash all the time, its not a cpu problem, flycast just dislike some games thats all. I was testing a lot of games with high cpu, the emulator dont crash.
I remember a other good emulator back in the years with the name Chankast, would be good to test this one to, anyway a good idea to have more emus. But Chankast is maybe dead and the source code is lost. A other good emulator was nulldc, but dont know of source code. We need a other emulator the vita can not handle the core problem from flycast, otherwise the vita has more power we would not realise the dropdowns.
BTW:
Fighting Force 2 - 50% done on normal difficulty. No crash, some slowdowns.
The Ring Terror Realms - 50% done. No crash, per strip make texture errors, slowdowns comes to often.
Testing a lot Save Slots, perfect working, thanks. Still on version 2.

Fighting Force 2 NTSC US - I have it complete done from start to end, no cheats. Its a very long game. Was mostly good and decent playable, losing framerate here and there, but no big deal. 3 games complete done now !
Quick Save option Save Slots - DO NOT USE it and change later the any settings, otherwise the VMU get error when loading again. It can break the emulator even when playing NTSC it will run on 50fps and lose framerate. In this fact delete flycast and install all new, use the settings before playing this ive best performance.
nullDC Emulator was used for the PSP version, the info say the source code was lost but it was recoded new and works now. nullDC need BIOS files, the result on the PSP is very bad, but it should good work on VITA and it has no core problem.

@ SuperDan : Next game will be The Ring Terror Realms from start to end testing, I love it. When you see rinne, please tell him source code for nullDC is on the download page for the PSP version and updated. We need it to test it on the VITA.
BTW :
was also testing Sega Mega CD over PSP Adrenalin with PicoDrive Emulator, it need BIOS files. Mortal Kombat 1 untouched image BIN CUE file was working perfect and ISO+MP3 Rip version was same working. The intro video must skip, thats all. Snatcher was also working good. Sonic CD was working but the framerate was incorrect. Sega 32x dont work with pico, but it should work with RetroArch, need more testing. Good Result so far.

@ placebo_yue : you also need fd_fix. you dont need BIOS files to start games.
Testing : BIOS
Works great, the same like original Dreamcast and we need it ! with this one we can open the VMU memory card that only have 200Blocks so we can manage copy and delete save files ! Good Work. The only problem, even in the main dreamcast menu the framerate is missing 20% and slowly. I had found out that VGA mode is best working in BIOS mode and it also helps in some games. And TV mode is better working than RGB mode.
