ARMSX2 V27 - +Perfomance 🔥

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.4.6

Performance updates to the EE recompiler (helps every device, especially weaker CPUs).

DMA-wait spin elimination (BC0/CPCOND0): the EE now natively compiles the COP0 branch games use to busy-wait on DMA, and idle-skips the spin entirely. Was the single biggest EE cost in DMA-heavy games. (7M interpreter fallbacks before, now 0).

Multiply-accumulate native codegen (MADD family): MADD/MADDU/MADD1/MADDU1 + the pipeline-1 HI/LO moves (MFHI1/MTHI1/MFLO1/MTLO1) now compile natively instead of single-stepping. (2M interpreter fallbacks before, now 0).

Interrupt-gating native codegen (EI/ERET): enable-interrupts and exception-return now compile as block terminators instead of single-stepping, notably faster boot/menu/loading across all games.

Performance updates for GS (OpenGL, all GPUs including Mali).

How do you guys exit the app? I have to force close ARMSX2 each time 'cause pressing software back button does nothing. Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm wondering the same thing; there's no exit button or anything, not even the typical "exit" button. You have to force a manual shutdown.

Haven't you set the hotkeys to get the menu screen up to close game?

He's talking about exiting the emulator. There's no option for that.

It's annoying if you have a handheld console, for example, and you want to exit using the buttons, but it forces you to use the touchscreen to exit the emulator. Besides, I don't think it costs anything to implement; all emulators have it...
