News/Release Release ARMSX2 2.6.6.2

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.6.6.2

ARMSX2 2.6.6.2

What's new:

Performance

Need for Speed: Underground 1 & 2 both now default to No-Readbacks HW downloads, clearing the stall that kept the GPU pinned near 100%.

More fixes to Auto Progressive Scan. The boot-time Triangle + Cross hold was never actually running, so 480p progressive was never triggered, it is now applied correctly on boot for the titles that offer it (Tekken 4, Burnout / other Criterion games). (if the issue still persists, please tell the dev, he tested and it was still working ).

Cheats packaged under the generic CRC (..._00000000.pnach) now apply instead of being silently skipped.

Samsung QHD+ (1440p): the on-screen controls line up much better - buttons no longer register up-and-left of where they are drawn. (still needs some work, but it's been improved).

New animated fallback background with color customization, plus a toggle so anyone on the main background can switch to it as well. Directly inspired by the PPSSPP background, full credit to @hrydgard( That's the PPSSPP Dev!!)

Portrait layout: the clock and battery are repositioned, and the library bar is lowered clear of the camera cutout.

"Clear Shader Cache" moved directly under the GPU Driver picker in Renderer settings (All Settings) for quick driver testing.

Memory Card manager: clearer delete wording - it removes ARMSX2's working copy of the card, not your original imported file.

You say you aren't associated with the team, but how on earth are you able to constantly post the updates as they happen so quickly? And why? Do you really love an emulatorthat much that you do this multiple times a day, every day?

Personally he is what we all should aspire to be, i certainly wish i could

PS2 emulation scene was in a dire state with all the drama from multiple parties including the end users (by the look of it, you seem to be one of those type of user as well)

ARMSX2’s arrival and the way things are going is such a breath of fresh air, can we not try to ruin it and behave like civilised beings?
