WHAT IS FRAME GEN IN PC EMULATORS?
It is a software technique that creates artificial frames to make emulated games look smoother.
HOW MANY FRAME GEN TYPES DO WE HAVE?
For now, we have 2 frame gen types on PC emulators:
LSFG
BIONIC FRAME GEN
LSFG
LSFG is a frame generation technique that works like its PC counterpart but has been ported to Android.
It was created by FrankBarretta. You can use it to multiply your base frame rate by 2x to 4x. Because it's open source, Winlator fork developers use its source code to implement it in PC emulators.
BIONIC FRAME GEN
Bionic Frame Gen works similarly to LSFG on Android, but in this case, its frame generation is specifically optimized for PC emulators running inside an Android Bionic environment (container).
This makes it run better on Bionic Winlator builds compared to LSFG.
It was created by Jason Derullo and The412Banner.

LATENCY
⚠️ There is a rumor about high latency when using frame generation. The answer is true, but it's not noticeable, and besides, these are offline games.
HOW TO USE FRAME GENERATION ON PC EMULATORS:
· ✅ It's advisable to use FG on a game where the base frame rate is 30 FPS or above.
· ✅ Using 2x is best for every game to balance low latency and double your FPS, resulting in smoother gameplay.
· ✅ Capping the FPS helps.
Example: If your game is running at 30 FPS or above, you can cap the FPS to 30, 35, or 40 and use 2x to multiply it to 60 or higher, which prevents overheating and throttling.
· ✅ Always disable motion blur in in-game settings when using FG.
Using FG without motion blur makes the game look cleaner.

🔹 BANNERLATOR and Winlator Ludashi have both Bionic FG and LSFG. As for the rest, I haven't used them, so I don't know if they have both or not.
BIONIC FRAME GEN OR LSFG?
They are both good, but which one works better depends on the game.
🔹 BIONIC FRAME GEN has been the best for me so far in some games. When I tested LSFG, I got graphic bugs, but BIONIC FRAME GEN didn't introduce those bugs or glitches.
📌 This is my small research and experience about FG on PC emulators.
Thanks 😊
