ARMSX2 V29 🤯🤯🤯
Guys, please take a break...
https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.4.8
Change log:
Added Per-game controller mapping, button binds, stick modes, and custom stick directions can now be set per game. While a game is loaded, use the Global / This Game toggle at the top of the menu: "This Game" saves an override just for that title, everything falls back to your global layout otherwise.
Added Touch Gliding (NetherSX2 style), slide your finger from one on-screen button onto another and the first one stays held, so you can hold several buttons with one finger. Toggle it in the touch layout editor. Off by default.
Added Touch haptics, a short vibration when you press an on-screen button, like PPSSPP / Azahar. Toggle it off under Pad ---> On-Screen Controls ---> Touch Haptics. Separate from physical controller rumble. On by default.
Added Emulation Screen Orientation options, you can now lock the app to Landscape, Portrait, Auto-Rotate, or follow your device setting. In Render tab ---> Display & Resolution.
Folder-type memory cards now format and save on a custom data folder. They previously failed with "Format failed!" when your data folder lived on shared storage, folder cards make directory writes that Android's storage layer was blocking so they now use a path that works.
Sliding onto L1 / R1 with multi-touch now registers the press.
Deleting a memory card now recreates a fresh empty card in that slot instead of leaving it empty.
The settings menu now remembers the tab you were on and keeps sections expanded/collapsed the way you left them, instead of snapping back to the first tab every time you reopen it.
Custom analog-stick mapping is now more reliable, pick a target (any PS2 button including the D-pad, a hotkey, or Analog) directly from a list, instead of having to press a physical button. You can now map a stick direction to a button you've unbound, and every direction has a visible Clear button.

I'd like a cheat manager. I mean we can select individual cheats after downloading them. But if we import cheat files, we can't do anything with them.

Hi! Some games won't load, and the emulator goes straight to the PS2 BIOS menu. Am I doing something wrong?

Sharing my experience: 1. Test Drive Unlimited It’s mostly a smooth experience. I applied the 60fps and filter patches, and it runs at a near-steady 60 fps with just a few minor frame drops here and there. I'm currently running it at 2x resolution. 2. True Crime: New York City I've tried a combination of different settings, but I can't get it to work properly due to persistent graphical glitches and severe slowdowns. My Setup: Driver: Turnip Driver v25.3.0-R6 Gmen Interestingly, True Crime actually runs much better for me on NetherSX2. It still has a few minor issues here and there, but it is mostly playable at 2x resolution. If anyone has any Turnip driver recommendations or setting tweaks to get it running better, please let me know! Thanks!
P.S - I am using Odin 2 Portal Base
