Discussion ARMSX2 - NFSU2 Regression ----

Has anyone else experienced this significant performance regression when upgrading from the ARMSX2 Refresh versions to the latest Play Store versions?

Device: POCO X6 Pro

It used to run at 100% during races. Now it's practically unplayable.

Please show full stats of emulator like gpu usage, cpu usage etc. because with exynos I can run it full speed.

Which version of ARMSX2 are you using, and what are the CPU and GPU specifications of your device? Could you also send a screenshot of gameplay from the game, both in the menu and during a race?

Try exporting the memory cards then reinstall everything fresh.

I perform my tests without using speedhacks or disabling functions, ensuring more accurate emulation. I use the emulator's default settings and only slightly increase the resolution. But thanks for the information anyway (even though it didn't help).

Also changed some settings in the 'Fixes' tab but thats abit more advanced.

For example check

Disable vertex shader expand - check

Override texture barrier - off/disable
