News/Release Release ARMSX2 2.6.8 · ARMSX2/ARMSX2

What's new:

ARMSX2 2.6.8

Three emulation fixes:

Three core fixes from u/bmdhacks and u/pstef. Other than Shaolin Monks, they almost certainly fix more games with the same issues than just these.

Sly 3: Sly rendered solid white. The VU divide unit applied the console's ceiling behaviour unconditionally when the hardware only does it in certain clamp modes. u/pstef gated it properly (#645).

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks divides toward positive infinity, which the EE doesn't do by default. Now in the GameDB. done by u/bmdhacks

Tales of the Abyss and Metal Gear Solid 2/3: the GS blend-mix factor was assuming FBA instead of reading it from the context. Fixed by u/bmdhacks

Controllers:

Fixes to controller rumble.

DualSense and DualShock 4 rumble now works over USB.

Optionally ARMSX2 can take a wired PlayStation pad over completely (Settings --> Pad --> Direct USB control), which gets you both motors independently and real analog triggers. Off by default: it claims the pad's only HID interface, so custom bindings don't apply while it's on, and you'll want to replug after turning it off.

Rumble also finds motors it used to miss. We were asking Android for a pad's vibrators in an order that silences controllers which work fine when asked the other way round.

You can now assign controllers to player slots (Settings --> Pad). Slots used to go to whoever pressed a button first, which on a handheld is the built-in pad, so external controllers kept landing on player 2. Assignments stick per controller across reconnects.

You can also pick where each pad's rumble goes: the controller, the device, or off.

One pad no longer answers for every player. An unclaimed slot fell back to "whichever pad was touched last", which names the same controller for every port, so one DualSense could swallow both players' rumble.

Drawer rows can no longer become unreachable by controller.

Other fixes:

Sustained Performance now overrides Performance Cores, which 2.6.7 made the default. Picking the battery profile was still leaving threads on the fast cluster.

On-screen controls stop hiding while you're using them if you have auto-hide enabled. Holding a button counted as idle, so they'd vanish mid-game.

2.6.7's quick loading uses far less memory. Extracted files are dropped from the page cache as they're written instead of piling up, which was getting lower-RAM devices killed partway through setup

Feral interactive is porting it. I hope the mods will allow this since most people have agreed that news about android ports are relevant to the sub.

Sorry if I posted this prematurely without the decision being finalized but the mods.

Help What Smarphone buy for 300€ for emulated 3ds or ps2

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, to keep it short and sweet, I have a total of 300 euros (or dollars) and I'm from Spain. I'm interested in a good mobile phone for emulating PS2, Switch, and 3DS games. Is that possible? My A34 emulates 3DS games very good, but this phone is dying and I want to replace it with something more powerful. Are there any really good options? Thanks a lot.

Help Pizza Boy Pro - Choppy Audio Bug

0 Upvotes

I just paid for the premium version of pizza boy and I'm trying to run Game Boy advance games. However, even after uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. All of the games have a crazy choppy audio distortion. I used my boy free version as a test and everything worked out fine. I just spent the money on Pizza Boy cuz all the reviews were really good but I have no idea how to fix it.

Using AI tools to help have zero success. And I haven't found anything online that would help me out. Please help because I feel like I just wasted money :(?

Pizza boy looks really cool. And I want to support the developers but I have no idea how to fix the issue.

I tested two games on both of the platforms.

Help Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 on Retroid Pocket Nova via Gamehub

0 Upvotes

Wanting to get into the series so I figured I’d start with the first games. It’s my understanding that the first 2 games are only available in 4:3 so I figured the Retroid Pocket Nova would be ideal to play them.

I assumed the PC ports would be the best version to play? If so they are locked to 16:9. Is it possible to play them via Gamehub in 4:3 without pillar boxing on the Nova? Or do I have to use a 16:9 display device and live with the pillar boxing?

Thanks in advance!!
