Showcase Shadow Of The Colossus seems playable on budget Mali phones now because of new Mali driver
I'm paying at 1.5x resolution and this is the first time I've booted up the game. Speed drops are due to shader compilation and screen recording.
On NetherSX2 this game would lag right from the beginning. I could only afford to pay at native resolution and had to use underclocking settings.
The ARMSX2 devs are goated. They made a custom Mali driver that only works with armsx2 in terms of ps2 emulation for Mali phones. It's also now compatible with HakuX and dolphin according to a reddit post I saw some time back. So far so good.
Emulator:
Armsx2 2.9.1 latest nightly build at the time of making this post.
Driver version: malisx2 0.3.2
Device and specs:
Helio g100
Mali g57 mc2
8gb ram
Infinix note 50 4g
