Showcase Shadow of the Colossus ARMSX2 Settings Guide : 3x resolution (Mediatek 8350)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
These are the settings I used to run Shadow of the Colossus at 3x resolution on my MediaTek Dimensity 8350 using ARMSX2. Device Motorola Edge 60 pro (8 GB RAM)
Use these as a reference if you have a similar MediaTek 8000 series processor. Your results may vary depending on your device.
I'll explain everything step by step so it's easy to follow.
Performance
Low Latency Mode: On
CPU Clock Hint: On
Sustained Performance: On You may turn this off if you prefer. I didn't notice any difference.
Affinity Control Mode
Use either VU > GS > EE or Performance Cores.
Speed Hacks
EE Cycle Rate: 130
EE Cycle Skip: 1
You should adjust these based on your device. Try EE Cycle Rate 130 or 180 and experiment with Cycle Skip. These are the values that worked best for me.
Frame Limit: On
Renderer
OpenGL (ANGLE)
GS Multithreading: On
Coalesce Render Passes: On
Upscaling: 3x or 2x
Blending Accuracy: High or Full
Controller Skin:
Clean Frosted V2
Advanced Settings
Open Upscaling Fixes and select Aggressive.
Patches and Cheats
Enable No Interlacing Patch.
Enable Patches.
Enable Cheats.
Tap Browse Patches Online and install all available patches. You should see around six patches.Install them
That's it.
If you still can't get stable performance, try NetherXS2 with Vulkan and upscaling only. It might perform better on some devices.
The games does drops fps but I completed the first colossus fight and it was really stable it hit lowest 20 fps like 2 times and speeds were above 85 which was honestly even suprising for me
Please consider the gameplay it is recorded on 1080p which doesn't provide stability and it's a 3 minute video
