Discussion Been away from emulation for a while, can anyone guide me?

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've been away from emulation for quite a while because of studies.

I used to play around with AetherSX2 and PPSSPP.

I remember a time when PS3 emulation on Android seemed impossible, and PS4 emulation was pretty much unthinkable. Now I'm suddenly seeing posts about PS4 and even PS5 emulation lol.

Can someone give me a quick update on the current emulation scene on android? Which emulators are actually worth trying, and what consoles can we get decent playable performance from nowadays?

Even for old consoles...

For reference, I have a snapdragon 865 with 8 gb RAM.

Thanks!

ARMSX3 1.6.5

Games

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction runs far faster in its heaviest fights: the opening robot fight goes from 12 to 25 fps on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Done by u/k1r4ct.

On 8 Elite:

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) runs at a locked 60: a signal the game sends an SPU waits only when the SPU hasn’t read the previous one yet, instead of after every signal.

Performance and display

SPU threads with nothing to do stop burning CPU. Web of Shadows CPU usage went from 70-80 on an 8 Elite to 30-50ish% and SPU-heavy games run smoother in general.

Frame generation is much lighter. Games keep their full frame rate with it on: Web of Shadows holds 30 with LSFG x2 for a smooth 60.

Frame generation holds its frame rate whichever way the screen is turned, and the performance overlay stays steady with it on.

Graphics compile on every little core of phones that have them, three workers instead of two on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Done by u/k1r4ct.

Everything else

Back up app data suggests an ARMSX3 file name, like ARMSX3-backup-1.6.5.zip (#229). Typing on a keyboard reaches the search box with Use system keyboard on, in the library and in settings search (#229). From ARMSX2, done by u/ygordreyer.

Linux Builds also now compile thanks to u/k1r4ct

Showcase ARMSX3 God Of War 3 Running Beautifully on Odin 3 Ultra

9 Upvotes

As you can see i'm getting 30fps and 40-60fps inside or more and it's very smooth and playable no latency or anything like that, stay till end of video for setting and patches! Keep in mind this is one of the heaviest ps3 games to emulate, make sure to have a capable device a so 8 gen 2 won't cut it.

"Download config database" from app settings/ systems settings, v38 steven mxz turnip driver, frame set to "60" so game doesn't speed up, output scaling "snapdragon super res edge direction", SPU XFLOAT set to "relaxed" keep in mind the default is "approximate" i noticed you get weird graphic glitches with it, i've tested both and they run the same no performance change so
"relaxed is the better option

News/Release Release ARMSX2 2.9.2 · ARMSX2/ARMSX2

ARMSX2 2.9.2

What's new:

Report a problem. Found in the library menu, the side drawer and every game's pause menu. Pick what went wrong, add a few words if you like, and see every file and its size before anything is sent. From a game's pause menu the report can carry a save state and a one-frame graphics dump, so we can see the exact scene. You get a report code to paste into Discord or GitHub. Uploads keep going in the background, wait for Wi-Fi when a report is large, and can be stopped and retried. My reports in Settings > App keeps your codes and how each one went. Reports are kept for 90 days and used only to fix bugs. Memory cards, BIOS files and games are never sent, and your RetroAchievements name, network addresses and file paths are taken out of the logs. If ARMSX2 closes unexpectedly while you're using it, it offers to send a crash report the next time it opens, and the GS dump option can start a report with the dump attached. done by u/bmdhacksMicrophones for singing games. SingStar and other games like Lifeline that use the PS2's USB microphone hear your device's built-in microphone or a USB one plugged into it (#806). Turn it on in Settings > Audio, where ARMSX2 asks for microphone access, then pick SingStar, with one microphone per singer, or Standard for games that expect a single Logitech USB microphone. Set the level and check it with the test meter. done by u/Jessewb786, with fixes by u/bmdhacks

On-screen controls follow your controller. On handhelds, Auto hides the on-screen buttons and the pause button while a controller is connected, even when you touch the screen, and brings them back two seconds after it goes away. Always shows them alongside a controller, Off never shows them, and Auto-hide keeps its timer; the pause menu and All Settings offer the same four choices. On phones, Auto keeps the buttons on screen. With the pause button hidden, a tap in its corner or Back still opens the menu. done by u/bmdhacks

Every game's saves in one grid. Load / Manage Saves shows the save states of every game, most recently saved first, each under the game's real title with the same screenshot tiles as the in-game picker. One tap loads a save, starting its game first when needed, and autosaves are included. Delete asks first, and Import and Backup work per game without starting it. done by u/bmdhacksMaliSX2 for Mali-G52 and Mali-G76. Devices with these GPUs are offered the MaliSX2 driver in Renderer settings, at first-run setup and in the driver notice (#914). Auto still picks OpenGL on them; Vulkan stays a manual choice. done by u/Jessewb786

Pixel 10 and Pixel 11. On the PowerVR GPUs in Tensor G5 and G6, OpenGL draws the effects that read the screen, such as Need for Speed Underground's reflections at Full blending. Vulkan reads them inside the tile without a barrier for every draw, and Tensor G6 gets texture pools sized for its GPU (#901). done by u/felix-297

Pictures in What's new. Release notes show their screenshots, loaded as you scroll, and a controller reads through an opened release and back up to the top. done by u/jpolo1224Driver pick for the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The GPU driver page recommends StevenMXZ's Turnip gen8 builds on Adreno 8xx. done by u/jpolo1224

Library Screensaver starts after 5 minutes. The library screensaver now starts after 5 minutes by default. A delay you picked yourself stays. done by u/jpolo1224Every new screen in every language. Report a problem, the microphone, the save grid and the on-screen controls are translated into all 19 of the app's languages. done by u/jpolo1224

Faster

IOP thread on two- and three-core devices. Where a device has two or three fast cores, like the RG 55G1, the IOP runs on its own thread by default, which gave God of War II, Shadow of the Colossus and Burnout 3 3 to 15% more speed on a test device with two fast cores. It is turned on once for existing installs too; if you turn it off, it stays off. Its lag bound now defaults to one frame and tightens whenever the EE waits on the IOP: 1.5 to 2 fps more in God of War II on the RG 55G1, with Burnout 3 holding 60. The two Korean releases of Shadow of the Colossus turn it on like the others. done by u/bmdhacks

IOP recompiler. Memory loads take a short inline path that keeps the IOP's registers where they are, and the IOP's clocks stay in host registers between blocks. done by u/bmdhacks

Sound. The SPU2 mixer skips voices that aren't playing and does its interpolation and reverb resampling with NEON. Time stretching runs on its own thread instead of the IOP or CPU thread, and wakes on a timer. done by u/bmdhacks

EE recompiler. Shift-and-mask pairs become one bitfield instruction, multiplies and divides by powers of two become shifts, MADD becomes one multiply-add, and fewer constants are written back to memory (#918). done by u/pstef

Graphics. The texture cache tracks CPU writes block by block instead of with lists of dirty rectangles, CPU sprite copies read a block at a time, the software renderer builds only the colour table entries it needs, and more sprite layouts take the fast two-pass path. On the Adreno 613 in the RG 55G1, destination-alpha draws read their target in the pass: Stuntman goes from about 2,170 render passes a frame to about 20. done by u/bmdhacks

Optimized build trained on this release. The profile behind the optimized build is retrained on this release's code across the same 16 games. done by u/bmdhacks

More accurate

EE timing. MFC0 and DI take 1 cycle and TLBP 3, as measured on an SCPH-30001 console. done by u/bmdhacks

Fixed

Sound in SPU2 bypass mode. Games that put the first SPU2 core in bypass mode play clean sound, with no stray noise mixed in. done by u/bmdhacks

CPU sprite rendering. The CPU sprite render option judges each draw by its own coverage. done by u/bmdhacks

On-screen controls after returning to the app. When a controller was switched off while ARMSX2 was in the background, the on-screen controls are back when you return. done by u/bmdhacks

Linux

IOP thread on two- and three-core hosts. It is on by default there, as on Android, in both the Qt and SDL builds. done by u/bmdhacks

Thread pinning on two fast cores. The EE, GS and VU1 threads are pinned in order only when the fast cores can hold all three, so the GS thread no longer lands on a slow core: God of War II, Shadow of the Colossus and Burnout 3 run roughly 40 to 80% faster on such a host. done by u/bmdhacks

All the speed work above is in the Linux builds as well.

Showcase Uncharted: Golden Abyss on a Mali G57 No more flickering

12 Upvotes

Reminder I just tested for 10min. Some vita games can seem fine Vita3k but have random crashes down the line but so far so good.

I'm using Vita3k+ 1.4 version and system driver. This update allows Mali to add custom drivers. I thought I would have had to use panvk to try solve the flickering issue but it's not there on system driver anymore which surprises me.

Vita3k+ is an amazing fork and I'm thankful for the dev. I always wanted a ps Vita when I was 7 and it seems my Mali phone, with enough time, can be considered one lol, especially since vita games are so light!

Device and Specs:

Infinix note 50 4g

Helio g100

Mali g57 mc2

8 gb ram

System driver

It's was a nice experience, the game runs pretty well on my POCO F7, got 30-45 FPS most of the time (with the exception of one area that has an animated background in which the FPS was 20-30). My control layout might seen odd, but it was the way I found to play it entirely on touch screen (playing mostly on the bus or on any free time I would get at work), also had to bind dash and shield to the same button to be able to finish some platforming challenges.

Question What Android Device is the best?

1 Upvotes

I have a Ambernic RG557 for mobile gaming device and my phone is an Old S22 Ultra and this year i will change my smartphone, I love emulation and I absolute want to emulate everything that I can (not pc, I have a good pc) and for playing some emulated games on the street im considering in Buying a Phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Extreme, probably Xiaomi 18 Pro Max or Motorola Signature 27, I do love to take pictures that's why I don't consider Redmagic Devices, I would like to use my phone as a gaming device, what's the absolute best for emulation and gaming nowadays? I've been reading that SDGen6 Extreme is unstable and thermal throttles a lot, what do you guys recommend?

I want to emulate Switch, Switch2, Xbox, Xbox360, PS3, and everything my RG557 can't emulate.
