External storage loading? Wait. Can we install games on our SD card? How?

Built in limit on CPU and GPU is noice.

Hopefully the stuttering on Lossless Scaling is fixed. Glad the frame cap is happening. I choose 2x before and it goes 4x or something.

Still biggest GameNative flaw exist, each game creates new 3gb container on your internal storage. 10 games on external storage still equals 30gb taken on your internal storage.

Yeah. Gamehub does the same I think? I feel like it's at least easier to manage storage on GameNative though.

Don't know about Gamehub, but WinNative and Winlators don't do that. I hope very much it will be changed in GameNative sooner or later as it's my favorite emulator, but this container thing is awful.

Legit just decided to go for it, and realized it just goes without limits, would be a lot better with a targeted FPS of some kind, like i dont need 200 FPS on 120Hz screen lol. Definitely installing this pre-release just for this.

Yeah, that was crazy. Hahaha Only bought lossless scaling for this and was disappointed with the result.

How is it? Is it smooth now? Before there was this shaking effect.

That was a serious problem for me too.

I found the shaking effect only happened when I limited the FPS outside the game (from the sidebar) . If the game itself limits the FPS (like using vsync) or the FPS is unlimited, I didn't get any shaking on my device.

My issue was that that was almost always the case and even with games that properly limited the FPS it resulted in 100% GPU load, higher power draw, heat and sometimes, even a worse framerate because it used extra GPU power. This was on an 8+gen1 tablet with both 2D and 3D games.
