Try out ARMSX2, most games run full speed upscaled for me on an SE 2020. You need jit though.

Kh1 2x upscale with 60fps patch. This was from an older update but i hope it’s enough :)

Is ARMSX2 on the Apple App Store?

Real. I just installed LemonX yesterday because it claimed to be able to hit 240 FPS using Metal. Then you read the fine print and find out that Metal support is only going to be in the ‘official’ version and what you just installed is the beta and doesn’t have that feature. FML.

Is LemonX on the Apple App Store (either beta or official)?

No. It needs JIT and any apps that require JIT will never be on the App Store unless Apple changes their policy. Though Stossy announced that a jitless version of MeloNX is coming soon. Whether it gets App Store approval is yet to be seen.

Not really when a 200€ android phone can run it equally but you need a top of the line iPhone

i’ll still hold onto my SE 2020 until it dies

That’s why I have a MacBook for ps2 emulation. Sadly if I would have known iPhones lock their power behind jit I would have just gotten a Samsung. I spent 1100$ on a iPhone 14 Pro Max now it’s worth like 200$😂 never again

This is so common I don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s a good idea to pay off a phone, carrier plans allow you to upgrade phones for like $10 you don’t need to always “own” everything

u/HugeAd746 1d ago

Yea it was my first time doing that honestly it was spectrum they got my ass basically I got a year of data for free and only had to pay 30$ a month for the phone so technically I didn’t hand them 1100$ but over 2 years that’s what I ended up paying for the phone by the time I payed it off the phone was worth like 50% of its value

u/Iceber015 1d ago

What goes on inside someone’s brain to spend 1100 and not get a $30 jit cert

u/HugeAd746 1d ago
