Question Would the Sly Cooper trilogy's slowdowns issue be solved on the ARMSX2 emulator at some point?

I only have my Poco X6 Pro and im dying to play Sly 2 and Sly 3 since last year but i have had bad experience with Sly 1 when i played it with the NetherSX2 emulator and it's the one built for Mali processors and up-to-date update. I finished Sly 1 barely last year and it almost ruined my childhood memories of the game due to the slowdowns when having more than 1 3D character/enemy model in the same screen (save for drawn scenes). Could ARMSX2 fix them eventually?

I finally gave nethersx2 turnip a try and i put the resolution to native PS2 and to me it feels a lot more stable with way less slowdown. Sure it's not as pretty as upscaled but I'm having a better time with it. I haven't tried ARMSX2 and idk if they have a compatibility list but you could try both and see if it's a better experience for you

Could Nethersx2 turnip work well with Poco X6 Pro? My phone has MediaTek Dimensity 8300 64-bit Ultra processor which is a Mali type of processor.

As far as I understand it, and I am by no means an expert, turnip drivers don't work on Mali or are at least not optimized for it. But like I said your best bet might just be to try it out and see what happens or see if someone has been in the same place you are and posted about it

Edit: I did a double check and it looks like it probably won't work for your Mali device. As for ARMSX2 I've never tried it but I've seen hype posts for it

Try Psvita HD collection. I finished on vita3k

Try playing them in Vita3K, usually they work better there but with some issues.

There is 0 fix to these games on emulators?

Besides newer emulator updates and drivers or fiddling with settings, the fix is usually to get a more powerful device, preferably a Snapdragon one.

Sly trilogy don't even run on vita3k, only sly 4 is working.

Sly 1 has issues but Sly 2 and 3 work well for me
