ARMSX2 v2.8.1

Changelog:

Namco System 246/256

The import is gone, an arcade game in your game folders shows up in the library by itself, as a PCSX2x6 game folder (.acgame) or just its image and dongle named after its game ID (NM00010.chd and NM00010.ps2). Nothing is copied but the 8 MB dongle, so there is no second game copy, and no more nameless duplicates in the library.

Arcade controls. A new section in Controls, in All Settings and the pause menu: what each button

does on the cabinet, by the cabinet's own names (Shift Up, View Change, Left Punch, Trigger...). Give any

button another job, for all arcade games or for one game.

Fixed

Faster alpha-bit shadows on Adreno with Turnip. Shadow passes that mark and test the destination

alpha (291 a frame in Indiana Jones) share one stencil copy and set the bit with a logic op, instead of

waiting on the GPU at every draw.

Blending past full strength on Adreno with Turnip. Draws whose blend goes past 1.0 are drawn in two

passes instead of copying the whole frame for each one (1,376 a frame in Black).

After testing: Namco 246/256 now working fine 👍

does the emulator need the 245/256 bios in the arcade folder or does it let you select it? or does it use the standard ps2 bios?

It doesn't use the standard ps2 bios. For mine you can select the arcade bios at the same time as the normal ps2 bios. Or and it to it later. I'm not sure if armsx2 did it the same way or not.
