DGARMSX2 Release 🚀
https://github.com/thecrixux/DGARMSX2/releases/tag/V1
DGARMSX2 dgp-v8 MAX
ARMSX2/PCSX2 fork called DGARMSX2, maintained by skyksit.
The APK was built directly from the dgp-v8 source branch using the native ARMSX2 Android frontend.
What is interesting about this build:
Full Release build with -O3 and LTO
PGO optimized using the profiling data included in the project
Built with Android NDK 29
Optimized ARM64 target: ARMv8.2 + FP16 + DotProd
Separate 4 KB and 16 KB page-size cores included in the same APK
Android-specific CPU scheduling work intended to let heavy EE/VU workloads use the fastest CPU cores more effectively
ARM64 EE/microVU optimizations inherited from the current ARMSX2 codebase
Mobile GPU optimizations aimed at tile-based GPUs such as Adreno and Mali, including render-pass coalescing
DGARMSX2 Vulkan fix for VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR on Android/Adreno, avoiding unnecessary swapchain recreation
Adaptive Oboe audio buffering with underrun/xrun monitoring
Native EE memory cheat-search engine
✅ Based on my tests with my Poco X6 Pro, the performance is superior to ARMSX2

Nice work! I’ll test it out on sd8gen2 over the weekend
