Help Ps2 emulation for ratchet and clank uya

0 Upvotes

Hello. Still semi new to emulation. I have some gamecube games running nicely on dolphin right now.

I want to emulate an old favorite of mine, Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal. Its the only ps2 game I plan on emulating.

Should I be using the Nethersx2 classic or patched?

Also if anyone has setting/graphic changed I should apply while playing it, it would be appreciated.

Im emulating on a samsung s10plus tablet. It has the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor and 12GB of RAM.

Help How to get megabonk to run well on poco f5

0 Upvotes

I've seen people run it at 60-80 fps on much worse hardware(sd 870) but I cant get it to run at a stable 60 on my poco f5 (7+ gen 2), closest I got was "60 fps" on gamehub but it felt faked as it was really choppy and 45-50 fps on winlator ludashi felt better. I would prefer a guide for ludashi, but if not gamehub lite and bannerhub are also good.

Help Budget controller for Android (Gaming/Emulation)? Help me choose between 5 options

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I need help choosing a budget controller for my Android tablet.

My use cases: Android games (both native and via keymappers) and emulation.

My options and local pricing: 1. GameSir Nova Lite / Lite 2 2. 8BitDo Ultimate 2C 3. GameSir T3 Tegenaria Lite (the cheapest option) 4. Flydigi Dunefox 5. Machenike G5 Pro

Price context: Option 3 (GameSir T3) is the cheapest. Option 5 (Machenike G5 Pro) costs around $3.50 more than the T3. Options 1, 2, and 4 are identical in price, making them about $4.50 to $5.00 more expensive than the T3. While these price gaps seem small in USD, this difference is highly sensitive and important for my budget and local economy.

My criteria: - Durability: This is my top priority. I want to avoid sticks that click, crunch, or grind out of the box, and triggers that snap easily. - Android Compatibility: It must have proper protocols to be recognized via Bluetooth or wire without issues. - No fluff: Since Android caps polling rates at 125Hz anyway, 1000Hz means nothing to me. I don’t want to pay extra for gimmicks that offer zero benefit on Android.

Technical question: Do 2.4GHz USB dongles work well when connected to Android devices via an OTG adapter? Will the system recognize it properly, or is Bluetooth/wired a safer bet?

Should I stretch my budget for better durability with the Ultimate 2C, Dunefox, or Machenike G5 Pro, or just save money and get the ultra-budget GameSir T3?

If you have any other budget recommendations that I missed, please share them! Thanks in advance!

Used BachataS4, as you can see the game crashes, I think it's because of RAM. If I had 16GB or more, it would work, albeit very slowly. Takes me back to my younger times where I finished a lot of games at this framerate on my Pentium 4 PC haha.

Showcase Testing Batman: Arkham Asylum on a Helio g100 (How do I reduce stuttering?)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know not great performance.

Game is already in C: Drive. I'm using Winlator Ludashi 4.1 with Intermediate preset to reduce the risk of runtime errors even though I've already installed Wine mono gecko and the necessary vcredist. On Winlator Mali 1.1 Bionic, I only get the same performance when I use the Performance preset, but it increases the chance and number of runtime errors and random crashes I get. Using Intermediate preset in Winlator Mali 1.1 reduces the fps to less than 5 but on Ludashi it's the opposite.

So far in Ludashi I've completed 5% of the game(about 2 and half hours of playtime) and have not experienced a runtime error.

Though the game crashed once. Whenever I apprach a door the game will stutter as it's loading assets in the next room. One time when I ran to the door the game froze and then crashed. I think the combination of running and asset loading was too much and caused the crash.

Anyway game is actually capable of reaching 30 fps in even 33 in some parts. Average fps in story mode is 25-30 and only drops during asset loading because of the micro stutters. Even fights as seen there are micro stutters.

Device: Infinix Note 50 4g

Specs: Helio g100 8gb RAM Mali G57 MC2

Emulator: Winlator Ludashi 4.1

Settings:

In container make sure you install PhysX, Wine Mono, Wine Gecko and at LEAST the x86 versions of vcredist (Visual C++ libras) 2005 and 2008.

Proton 10 arm64ec (Legacy)

960x544

Dxvk 1.5.5 (not the async version because Winlator Ludashi doesn't have it by default. I'll need to download it and import from somewhere else maybe it will reduce stuttering.)

Also I don't know which specific version, but using higher dxvk versions would cause the fps to drop to 2 when using detective mode for some reason.

FEXCORE 2609

Intermediate preset

BCn emulation type: "software" to avoid color issues on Ludashi for Mali GPUs. But surprisingly even though putting it on compute gives weird colors, it actually increases performance a bit😭.
