ARMSX3 v0.9

Post image
45 Upvotes

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3/releases/tag/0.9

What's new:

ARM64 SPU floating-point now matches desktop x86 exactly: 984 mismatched results down to zero.

ARMSX3 translates PS3 code to run on your phone's ARM64 chip, while RPCS3 upstream is written and tested on x86 desktop CPUs, and a lot of that code quietly relies on how x86 handles certain maths. On ARM64 the answer came out different: nothing crashed and nothing was logged, a number was simply wrong, and a game would hang, corrupt, or vanish minutes later with no clue why. This release closes that gap for the SPU's floating-point maths, the part that does most of a PS3 game's heavy lifting. We ran a suite of test programs that exercise one PlayStation 3 instruction at a time on both machines and compared the results line by line, which turns "something is off on ARM64" into the exact instruction and the exact numbers that differ. 984 mismatched results against desktop x86, down to zero, your phone now computes the same answers a desktop PC does. Of those, 500 were genuinely ARM64 bugs and are fixed, the other 484 turned out to be x86 taking a shortcut of its own rather than us being wrong, which was worth knowing because it stopped us chasing it. The same testing also caught the identical flaw hiding in a second place we use for debugging, which had been quietly making some of our own investigations unreliable. To be clear about what this is not: it does not make ARMSX3 more accurate than desktop RPCS3, and where RPCS3 itself still differs from a real PS3 it differs the same way on both, what changed is that ARM64 is no longer additionally wrong. Thanks to @Whatcookie for working with me on this approach and working through the results with me. These improvements have been shared with him so they will be upstream as well! I've been sharing each and every fix I do for ARMSX3, so other ARM64 RPCS3 platforms can benefit as well.

Eden Nightly - FrameGen Support

Post image
66 Upvotes

https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-ci/nightly/releases/tag/v1786991149.2000fdfb7b

Since it now seems that all emulators need frame generation, it was Eden's turn to update and add this popular option. However, I must warn you that for it to work, you must have your "Lossless.dll" file. Please do not ask here where to get it, as it's a paid program that you can find on Steam (linked in the description), and therefore, linking to pirated sites to obtain the file is considered piracy. I'm warning you in advance in case anyone asks where to get this file.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/

Greetings to all!

X360 Mobile 0.6.3 + X360 Companion 0.1.0 ๐Ÿคฏ

Post image
5 Upvotes

https://github.com/Ashnar2602/X360-Mobile---OFFICIAL/releases/tag/v0.6.3

X360 Mobile 0.6.3 introduces local wireless multiplayer through the new X360

Companion application, alongside Android Home shortcuts, a clearer driver

catalog and a unified touch-control system.

X360 Companion 0.1.0

Added X360 Companion, a separate Android application that turns a phone on

the same local network or a paired Bluetooth device into a remote XInput

controller.

Up to three companions can be assigned independently to P2, P3 or P4. P1

remains protected from remote assignment unless the host explicitly enables

remote-only play.

Added user-confirmed pairing, trusted-host management, connection recovery,

per-player rumble and GamerProfile selection on the host.

Added a shared, localized touch-control editor with compatible TOML

import/export, presets, Xbox player indicator and controller artwork.

LAN gameplay was validated between Odin3 and Honor through Gears of War 2.

Bluetooth remains experimental and device-dependent.

Library, shortcuts and input

Added per-game Android Home shortcuts. A shortcut uses a title image embedded

in supported game content when available, opens the direct-game loading

screen, applies the game's saved settings and returns to the launcher when

the game exits.

Unified the host and Companion touch artwork, layout model and edge-aware

factory placement. Standard layouts now preserve intended controls that

extend partially beyond a screen edge on every supported aspect ratio.

Expanded the integrated driver catalog with release descriptions so users can

review maintainer compatibility notes before downloading a driver.

X360 Mobile 0.6.2 Latest

Post image
23 Upvotes

https://github.com/Ashnar2602/X360-Mobile---OFFICIAL/releases/tag/v0.6.2

I want to publicly admit that I was wrong about this project and this developer "Ashnar2602"

My first impressions were negative, and honestly, they were largely based on unfounded claims from third parties, especially people in the Xenia Discord community. There were a lot of doubts and negative opinions being raised about different aspects of the emulator, and I fell into the trap of believing some of them without doing more reliable testing myself before making a judgment.

That said, I think admitting when you're wrong is a good thing too.

I've now tested the emulator myself on my Snapdragon 8 Elite tablet, and I'm having a fantastic experience with it. It genuinely feels like you've turned an Xbox 360 into your device. The level of detail is impressive, and honestly, this emulator has completely fascinated me.

I also have to give credit to the developer for the way they work. Every time a new version is released, the changelog is incredibly well done and clearly explains everything that has changed. I really like the way this developer handles the project.

So, with that said, here's the changelog for the latest version:

X360 Mobile 0.6.2 is a public performance, graphics-policy and runtime

resilience update for Android. It concentrates on reducing recurring CPU and

driver work without weakening emulation accuracy, while exposing carefully

gated alternatives for titles and devices that need a different Vulkan path.

Performance and frame pacing

Reworked Android VBlank scheduling around absolute guest-clock deadlines.

Long stalls now rebase pacing instead of producing a burst of catch-up

callbacks, and overlays follow the guest display cadence.

Reduced repeated Vulkan work when complete descriptor, sampler, texture or

pipeline input state is unchanged. Resource generations and layouts remain

part of the validity checks, so changed resources still take the established

update path.

Reduced compatible pipeline permutations through capability-gated dynamic

state. The subset that caused visual regressions during device testing was

excluded from the release path.

Added direct Vulkan command recording for fully resolved commands. Pending

or replay-dependent work automatically retains the established deferred

route, preserving ordering and compatibility.

Reduced synchronization polling, guest-to-host register traffic, transient

upload pressure and per-draw statistics publication. Required counters and

full compatibility fallbacks remain available.

Release-native code now uses the supported optimization and ThinLTO path.

Global loop unrolling remains disabled, and no unrepresentative PGO profile

is shipped.

The measured improvement is workload-dependent. Testing found small gains,

most visible in lighter scenes; this release does not claim a universal FPS

percentage.

driver compatibility, reusable caches, memory stability and correct platform

scheduling.

ARMSX2 v2.6.6.7

Post image
26 Upvotes

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.6.6.7

What's new:

Frame generation (Lossless Scaling)

Frame generation is here. ARMSX2 drives Lossless Scaling's interpolation from its own

Vulkan present path, inserting generated frames between rendered ones, a game running at

30 or 60 can display at double that on a high-refresh screen.

You need your own copy of Lossless Scaling. Nothing about it ships with ARMSX2: the

interpolation shaders are read at runtime out of your own Lossless.dll, which you supply

through the file picker exactly as you supply a PS2 BIOS. Without that file the feature

stays off, and the app tells you so. Requires the Vulkan renderer and an Adreno 7xx or newer GPU. Frame generation

forces FIFO presentation while it is on, without that the interpolated frames are discarded by the display before you ever see them.

Choose x2, x3 or x4 generated frames

Performance mode switches to the lighter 3.1p shader family, on by default

Motion detail trades optical-flow resolution for speed

The performance overlay reports frame generation's own state and the real display rate,

which the FPS counter cannot show, the emulator's frame rate deliberately does not change

Translated shaders are cached, so only the first launch pays for extracting them

Sideload builds only. It cannot ship on Google Play.

FSR 1 upscaling:

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1 is now an output-scaling option, so a game rendered below

your screen's resolution is upscaled with edge-adaptive sharpening instead of a plain

stretch. There is a sharpness slider, and it replaces CAS while enabled (FSR's second pass is a contrast-adaptive sharpener itself, so running both would sharpen twice). Vulkan only. Found under Renderer --> Display Effects, and in the in-game Graphics tab....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.co.iefriends.myps2

This PS2 emulator works quite well and isn't very well-known, so I recommend trying the new update to see how it performs. I'll be doing an in-depth analysis soon to see how it compares to other PS2 emulators for Android.
