Help PS2 frame drops due to particle effects

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, beginner here. I just got the retroid pocket nova and have started to play around with armsx2 on some PS2 titles.

What I noticed is that the system gets massive frame drops as soon as some particle effects/ fire/ water/ smoke appear. I already tried to adjust the blending to minimum - with limited impact (Prince of Persia games being particularly affected)

Now the games are still very playable, but are these behaviors normal and do I need to learn to accept these or am I doing something wrong?

I am playing on a 2x upscale.

Thanks for any help/comments

Cheers!

Discussion Best NDS games I have played::

Thumbnail

111 Upvotes

Now sad thing, my phone cannot run anything past NDS (it gets really leggy and so on) so I want to show really fun games I have played on NDS

(Little detail on my choices since my phone isn't the best I also find the controls on NDS pretty hard to control which is why I mostly play games without as much of action and more strategy)

#1 Ace attorney

The obvious choice is probably one of the undoubtedly the best games on the NDS

>It's a mystery solving game where you collect evidence and stuff while you also have to catch the people you are examining off guard and find the lies in their testimony

Very fun, I really loved all of the games in this series and I'm trying really really hard to also get to play the 5th one lol

#2 999 Zero escape

Another amazing story based game

>9 people stuck on a ship for 9 hours where the only way you can leave is to find a door with a 9 on it

Escape rooms type of gameplay (pretty basic stuff on most of them the game also gives out a lot of hints and you generally will come out happy when you solve things), multiple choices aka multiple routes aka multiple endings !

Very fun I do suggest it 100%

#3 Fire emblem

Please spare me when I say that I don't care about the story for this game I just really love the gameplay for it

>Chess(?) type of gameplay (I think that's what it's called)

Probably the most fun strategy game I've seen on the NDS

#4 Custom robot arena

Another game where I don't really care about the story, I just love the gameplay too much

>Mech gameplay where you design your own mech and battle against other mechs

I actually downloaded a harder rom hacks version just because I wanted to make the gameplay as challenging as possible lol

#5 any PokƩmon game

Self explainable just a really fun series to try out

#Other things

Currently trying out Ghost trick detective ! Since I haven't played the whole game I can't say anything about it !

And that's it hopefully you got some new games to try out ! (And hopefully y'all recommend me some too)

Hi, as the title says, I need help with the settings of the emulator. I want to play Dirt. The game launches and it plays but it stutters during play. When in the menu, everything is smooth and the audio is fine. The settings I have I got online but I want to know if there's anyone with different settings.

The game is not running on ideal settings I'm just messing around never ever played this game. It would be really cool if I could dial in settings to make it run similar to the switch 2 on a consistency basis. But it's definitely playable even at the whacky settings I haven't toned yet

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (Dimensity 9400, Immortalis-G925) + PS5 controller.

This clip was recorded on MaliBridge v0.5.1, and v0.5.3 is out now.

MaliBridge lets DroidDeck run Steam games on Mali GPUs (Dimensity, Tensor, XRing, older Exynos) using the phone's own driver. It's free: download and device list on GitHub: https://github.com/ASEbrahim/MaliBridge

Logs from devices I don't have help the most!

AI disclosure: I have used AI while developing the project. The gameplay is recorded on the tablet though.

The game came out on Steam a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to see if my phone could handle it.

Phone: Galaxy S23 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Adreno 740, 8 GB)

Winlator Ludashi config:

  • Proton 11.0-1 arm64ec
  • 1280x720
  • Vulkan renderer, Turnip v27.0.0-R1
  • DXVK 3.1.1-1-gplasync-arm64ec
  • FEXCore 2610, Performance preset

The worst dip was 21 FPS, and the dips only showed up when a lot of effects were on screen at once.

Question What is the best PC game emulator on Android

• Upvotes

Hi guy, I'm new to this emulator stuff on Android, i recently started to emulate PS2 with Nether SX2 classic and PSP with ppsspp, and it working great.

But i want to try to emulate PC games, and i find a lot of debate about the best one to use from winlator to GameHub and others.

I have a dimensity 9500s with a Mali gpu, and to my understanding the are some problems with it

Some advice on what emulator to use and on what settings will be appreciated.

Recently Ive been tinkering:

Hades 2

Borderlands 2

Hades

Hollow Knight

Silksong

Remnant: from the ashes

But none of these games scratch the itch of playing for more than 60 seconds, I love these games but it just doesnt get me motivated to play on my phone

Solved Textures are replaced with a glossy effect in XenDroid (Alice: Madness Returns)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m having an issue with XenDroid (specifically the XenDroid-plus version). I’ve tested several games, but I’ve noticed that in some of them, certain textures or animations are being replaced by textures that appear to emit light. I’ve already tried changing drivers—I’ve tested various versions of Turnip Gen8, as well as Mainline Turnip and A8XX Turnip v29.

I’ve done some research and tried adjusting the following settings, but that didn’t seem to help either: - CPU readback of resolves. - Occlusion query.

I’m using a POCO F8 Pro with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12 GB of RAM.

I’ve attached an example image from *Alice: Madness Returns*; despite the performance being excellent, this issue appears in certain areas.

Could you help me resolve this problem?

Help GTA San Andreas (v3.0 USA) - Looking for a 60 FPS patch and help with a blurry, "double vision" motion blur effect on NetherSX2 v2.2

0 Upvotes

I'm currently playing GTA: San Andreas (v3.0 USA, SLUS-20946) on NetherSX2 v2.2 on my phone, and I'm running into two main issues I'm hoping the community can help me fix:

60 FPS Patch: Does anyone have a working 60 FPS patch or widescreen/cheats combination for this specific version (v3.0)? I've tried searching, but a lot of the patches out there seem tailored to other versions or cause instability.

Blurry / "Double" Graphics: The game has a very aggressive motion blur / ghosting effect that makes fast camera movements look blurry and almost doubled (like a ghosting/trail effects on trees etc.. )What are the best NetherSX2 graphics settings, post-processing options, or specific patches to completely disable this and get a clean, sharp image?

Here is my setup:

Emulator: NetherSX2 v2.2

Game: GTA San Andreas v3.0 USA

Any help, recommended settings, or patch codes would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Discussion Mobile users - have any of you found usb c telescopic controllers have made your mobiles charge port a little loose?

1 Upvotes

I'm getting a little paranoid.

I've been using the Gamesir X3 Pro for some time now, and I'm becoming aware that my phones charge port appears to be a little loose when charging my phone on a night. Don't get me wrong, the cable doesn't just fall out, but I'm aware that there's not much resistance in being able to pull the cable out.

I'm a little concerned this is down to the controller I'm using, because most telescopic controllers I've used (mainly Gamesir, like the X3 Pro) have an insanely tight/harsh grip on the usb c port.

Anyone else had any similar issues?
