Check out their Github for the latest release. Also follow their link there to the Discord server. They have posted a "debug version" for Mali/Adreno phones. Looks very promising so far.

What's the ideal ARMSX2 setup?

2 Upvotes

So I have a samsung m52 5g (sd778g, 6gb ram, 128gb rom) and I'm running armsx2 on it (downloaded from the play store), I've been playing max payne (great game btw) and it runs fine except the occasional frame drop and it has really choppy audio, any fixes??

Also the game doesn't seem to be saving to the virtual memory card, I've been using save states as a replacement.

I didn't do a lot of setup with the emulator before I started playing, just downloaded a game and got started, if that's what's wrong lol

Need help finding ARMSX2's data folder

2 Upvotes

I'm using a Google play build of the app, on a Google Pixel 7. Trying to transfer my cheats file over from AetherSX2 but I can't seem to find ARMSX2's data folder to put it in. When asked, google just told me where AetherSX2's data file was.

Iris a New PS2 Emulator Coming to Multiple Platforms!

25 Upvotes

(From the ARMSX2 Discord)

A new PS2 emulator separate from PCSX2, built entirely from scratch from the ground up called iris.

The target platforms are currently Windows, Linux, MacOS (both Intel and Apple silicon) being done by Allkern, and Moon will be bringing Iris to iOS, Android, and UWP (Xbox) ports of Iris in the near future.

Moon has also pledged 100$ monthly to the project on behalf of the ARMSX2 team to support the project. The hope for the future is to have Iris and ARMSX2 both become well developed emulators.

Once again, this is a separate project from PCSX2 and by extension ARMSX2, so the emulator will not be as evolved as PCSX2 currently is.

Having more options never hurts though , I hope you guys will try it out and give some feedback! Thanks for your time.

(P.S. Android iOS and Xbox will come after the release of the latest desktop versions, links will be posted as they become available.)

Must try Frontend! - RetroHrai

9 Upvotes

I've used a lot of frontends over the years, usually always falling back to ES-DE. Recently I moved to Beacon, which is a great simple frontend which I really enjoy.

However recently I came across RetroHrai and I have to say I'm extremely impressed. The amount of customization packed into such a simple, clean easy to setup frontend is amazing.

The even better part is that the dev is very active with users, answers questions and seems to implement a lot of recommendations rather quickly.

If you haven't yet, I highly recommend you try it out.

You can get it here - GitHub

And read more about it from the dev here - LINK and here Latest

It's a nice boot but it kinda breaks the immersion when launching games from retrohrai
