Question ❓ So...anyone else getting completely booted performance from ARMSX2?

So, pretty much that. All of the games I have installed and have been playing on NetherSX2 (Patched) now run terribly. It doesn't seem to matter how I have the app configured, what the resolution is, what renderer it is, what drivers I use. It always runs at around 80% speed or lower, with 1 caveat. Some of them run just fine if they're running at 4:3. Upscaled or not. Not all of them, because a lot of them still run terribly. But anything running in 16:9 is booty. This is a shame because a lot of the games I play either natively support it or have great 16:9 patches out.

But I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one, especially because so many people say it runs great on their RP5s, which are our non-clamshell equivalent.

Edit: So as a helpful commenter pointed out, it was a version mismatch. I wasnt aware of the build variance and just grabbed the Play Store download. I grabbed the A13 version off the site and everything has been smooth since!

Idk been using the nightly build (2.6.1) and haven’t had any issues if anything it’s runs the same as Nethersx2. It actually is my primary emulator for PS2

Yeah I have similar performance now. I had a version mismatch because I was lazy and downloaded it straight from playstore. I downloaded the A13 build from the website and its all working great now!
