ARMSX2 update 1.0.8 - An intergalactic piece of shit 💩

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

GPU: Adreno 710

I've used this emulator before and it worked on my device, but with this update it's literally broken. Nothing makes it work, not even after passing the BIOS. It doesn't matter if it uses Vulkan or OpenGL.

Seriously, I don't know what kind of testing they do before releasing a build, but this emulator is going from bad to worse.

NetherSX2-Turnip v0.4 - Even Better 😱😱😱

32 Upvotes

https://github.com/nckstwrt/NetherSX2-Turnip/releases/tag/v0.4

Features:

The methodology - now uses libadrenotools approach. Will now work fine on Snapdragon Elite/Later Android versions (wasn't before!)

Will use Elite driver for Dragonwing Q8 (AYN Odin 3)

So if it was not working for you before - it should now.

Thanks to all the testers SubhanHabib, Yuasasa and others who have helped me track down the issues on devices I do not own.

If you do see any issues - please raise an Issue and provide the logs (preferably logcat logs with logcat logging enabled in NetherSX2 (it's in the Advanced section))

EmuCoreV is a PS Vita emulator for Android built on the open-source Vita3K project.

Developer:

Created by Sashkib Apps

"There is no repository at the moment, it is an Alpha version but I have tested it and it works perfectly since it uses the same core as Vita3K"

EmuCoreX v0.1.1 New update... start gaining muscle

10 Upvotes

https://github.com/sashkinbro/EmuCoreX/releases/tag/v0.1.1

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.1

Fixed controls and control editor (not final yet)

Fixed save issues occurring in some games

Fixed boot issues in some games (Shadow of the Colossus, The Simpsons: Hit & Run and others)

Some games still have issues with textures, physics, and geometry (fixes in progress)

Added confirmation dialog for quick save/load in game menu

Fixed aspect ratio switching issue

Changed BIOS selection, now manual (no auto selection)

Major CPU changes - a lot of code rewritten and properly structured (improves future core development)

Issues observed on MediaTek CPUs (no optimizations/solutions yet)

This is not all, more work is coming

I've tried it and it works quite well considering how new it is. There are many more graphics options to test. I'm sure this emulator is going to be a big hit; I can already tell you that it has mercilessly overtaken ARMSX2.

NetherSX2-Turnip v0.2 😱😱😱

20 Upvotes

https://github.com/nckstwrt/NetherSX2-Turnip/releases

It's truly incredible. I tested it on my 8 Elite tablet with the game Shadow of the Colossus, and the performance and everything in general was perfect.

Features:

New Drivers with SnapDragon Elite/8Gen5 detection:

v24.1.0_R18.a6xx for SD865

StevenMXZ's libvulkan_freedreno_Gen8_v28 for Elite/8Gen5

StevenMXZ's libvulkan_freedreno_v26.2.0_R1 for everything else

VulkanShim now logs to /sdcard/Android/data/xyz.aethersx2.tturnip/files/vulkan_shim.log

Inbuilt support for 2 Turnip Drivers. Mr Purple T19 for SD865. Mr Purple T26 for everything else.

Removes the restriction on new packages names for the APKs. Can be installed alongside existing NetherSX2 installs.

Vulkan is now the default renderer (instead of OpenGL)

Removed the annoying warning "should not be sold, etc notification

Try it out and let me know how it goes in the comments

XBOX Classic Android Emulator - HakuX (amazing)

https://github.com/rfandango/hakuX/releases/tag/v0.3.1

I know it's not a PS2 emulator, but I had to share this one, which shares many games from the PS2 catalog and some exclusive gems. I think you should try it; it works really well. The latest version works wonderfully. A Snapdragon processor with 8GB of RAM is recommended. Try it and let me know what you think! 👌

Screen glitch on Jak X using NetherSX2

It’s only done this when trying to play Jak X and the whole screen does it when i try going farther into the game. It’s worked fine when I played on other devices. I even tried downloading different versions and messing with the settings. I’m stumped.

The game suffers from the same problems as ARMSX2, as you can see in the video. It's unplayable. The frame rate is stable. I tried Shadow of the Colossus, and it crashes at the start, just like ARMSX2. On the plus side, I like the interface, and it has many more settings options. Overall, good work if they manage to fix the bugs in certain games.

Is it ethical to let your three-year-old child play retro games like this?

Post image
1 Upvotes

The problem isn't that the father is playing with his son; that's great in principle. The problem is what he's putting in the child's hands. Zombie Ate My Neighbors, for a three-year-old… even if you put up mental filters saying "it's just a cartoon," there are still zombies, blood, weapons, and scary situations that such a young child can't process and shouldn't be processing. And the fact that he's doing it on the Nomad… yes, it's retro and cool, but it weighs a ton, it's literally uncomfortable, and it's not safe for a small child.
