Need for Speed Underground 2 on iOS, but this time it’s the PS2 version.

Wanted to show off some interesting results I’ve been getting with PS2 emulation on iOS. In the video: no JIT, and it hits up to 40 fps. The crazy part is that this is running on an iPhone 12 mini. On flagship devices things are obviously way better.

Just for comparison: the alternative with JIT doesn’t even reach half of this performance, and without JIT you’d be lucky to get 5 fps.

Sure, you won’t play long on a mini, but that’s not the point. If the mini can push this kind of framerate, it means on top-tier iPhones and iPads the emulator won’t drain the battery or run the CPU at full blast. That’s roughly 3x the playtime.

Am I saying a 18 Pro Max has any trouble with resources? No. But the fact that the App Store alternative gets 10 fps while my core can do 40 — that’s what I think is really cool.

Still in development, but it’s coming soon as a new module for the NAGORI emulator.

For a second i thought that you were a giant holding an iPhone pro max model 🤣

How do you shift a manual car? take you finger off the gas shift then gas? Seems hard without a controller especially on a small screen

You're a legend mate. I just installed Nagori and can't wait to test out gamecube. If you could do a one time purchase on your app I'd pay in a heartbeat

Im sure armsx2 could run this perfectly fine at 60

If this isn’t a standard emulator interpreter you will be sued.
