Played it for 30 mins, stable fps maybe at 60, the 3d scrolling isn't as smooth as i remember but that's it.

FF9 seems to be running well on the PSX core. Sounds great as well.

How's the battery life with PCSX?

Tried it from 20 to 25 minutes and consumed 7%

That's not too bad! I'll probably give this a try once it's charged.

 

[CloudLionHeart]

Are there any graphic filter available; smoothing for example?

 

[Clapmaster]

Man this is so exciting! Can't wait try Dino Crisis 2 and Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3!

Just tried Re3 and works like a charm!

Spyro 2 works great, audio stutters though (and frameskip is too choppy). But yeah, it's playable

Spyro 1 does actually cause trouble for me, mid 50's
I suppose Spyro 2 is as bad?

mid 40's to 50, yeah - only played the first level though

Thats worse than Spyro 1, you probably still use bad settings

I used the config you recommended (had never used RA before on Switch) and tried various settings (also tried the _endall0 and your config, still the same).

pcsx beta core: https://m4xw.net/nextcloud/index.php/s/r7b5954LFFGXcqB

configs + font -> /retroarch
nro -> /retroarch/.../switch/

Load the core, manually load my config, enjoy.
Core specific is important!

Turn VSYNC off after Game load!

That should get you 60fps in MGS1

I can't seem to make out a difference to the nightly pcsx core, maybe it's just me or some settings. Do I the pcsx_retroarch.cfg via the Configurations -> Load menu? Also does the BIOS file load automatically?

Yes, Yes.

Updated nightly bundle including update pcsx core and my config (manually load it)

Captured some quick footage from Mission Impossible this morning (using the build, config etc suggested for MGS), to show the glitches I mentioned. I made sure to do the thing with vsync properly too

Btw I've overread that comment, u should maybe try the threaded audio driver, might help for it.

Anyway bad running titles make good benchmarks right now.

I've heard Spyro 1 doesnt hit 60 on the NV Shield too and that has double the CPU clock (tho that was a 32bit build, not aarch64)

Odd. I'm also exFAT and have this issue. Have ever since I started trying Retroarch (the first Salamander build).

I'm not complaining, though. It works. It can be a pain in the butt on certain games though. (For example, I used to push and hold Start and Select in Super Mario World for SNES to exit a level, but now I've trained myself to pause and then hit select instead.)

I've been using exfat on a Samsung evo 256gb card and L3 + R3 works for menu as intended. Kinda strange
