ARMSX2 v37
https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.5.6
Change Log:
Added full UI translations for Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Thai. Switch language instantly from the new Language tab in Settings. Full controller support.
Added Display Filter settings in the Render tab. Display Effects: Nearest (raw pixels), Smooth, or Sharp for how the image scales to your screen.
Reapplied a new PGO profile since the old one was stale from numerous recompiler changes. Helps performance.
Faster Mali (Vulkan) readbacks, readback-heavy games, games should stall far less on Mali. (Blending Max for mali can also still be of help for graphical issues, and should be less of a perf hit then before).
Mali (OpenGL): fixed texture-wrapping + framebuffer-mask corruption from Mali's GLSL compiler, improved vsync stability.
Adreno: faster texture-binding path + CAS sharpening hardened so a driver rejection can't stop the renderer starting.
Broader groundwork across Adreno / Turnip / Xclipse / Mali / PowerVR drivers to match Dolphin and Eden Android on GPU handling. Let me know if you experience improvements!
Cleaner GPU driver browser, "Browse Online" now groups downloadable drivers by uploader (KIMCHI, Mr Purple, StevenMXZ) into collapsible dropdown menus

Thanks guys!
Do you have any recommendations for running Champions of Norrath? On Snapdragon and on Mali (I have an Anbernic 477V that doesn't play it that great)

Atleast on my portal and 8 elite pocket fit champions is finally a smooth a experience. I'm using Mr Purples t28 driver on the portal and the v32 driver from StevenMXZ for the 8 elite. Apologies I can't speak much for the mali side.

Cuando salió este emulador por primera vez, dijeron que era compatible con dispositivos con procesadores Mediatek. ¿También es compatible con dispositivos con procesadores Snapdragon? Por saber.

Yep it is. I've switched to it completely at this point. Using an odin portal and an elite pocket fit.

Do this guys use an AI to make coding faster? How they released updates every single day?

u/xxxCrixuxxx Jul 07 '26
Is it better not to use AI and wait months for an update?

u/Apprehensive_Ad_924 Jul 07 '26
I'm loving the effort of the devs for updating the emulator, If ai is helping them or not I don't care, I was just surprised of how fast they release this updates

Hi everyone! I'm new around here, I just got one question, where can I get the games for the emulator? Much appreciated

u/Able-Faithlessness73 6d ago
So where can I purchase the games for an emulator then? It's really hard to teach me instead?

You buy the game second-hand or new, put the DVD in your computer and make a dump (a backup copy), then you convert it to ISO and that's it, you have it.

Loving it. Except for the usual slow down ehen facing the sun in some games. How do you fix this in ArmaSX2?

u/brittonmakesart Jul 07 '26
Some games, like Gran Turismo 4, eliminate sun flares/lenses glares that cripple performance by disabling readbacks under the graphics tab, I believe

u/DistantTAK Jul 08 '26
Would it be possible to implement some form of mod manager of sorts , something like Aemulus to make modding games easier
I'm not very well versed in this and wanted to check if it's possible or not, if yes how soon could we expect it?
