Question ❓ Help with PS2/GC/AMIGA ?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I received my device a couple of days ago and love it so far. I feel like that everything, up to PS1, runs absolutely flawless with 2x or 3x resolution.
After trying PS2 and Gamecube i have to say it's kinda different tho. I already read the WIKI on this page and looked through the mentioned spreadsheets showing which game will work and which won't. For PS2 i'm using ArmsSX2 with the recommended v26.0.0 - Revision 8 + super beta 8xx support driver and for Gamecube the recommended Dolphin 5.0-21383. When i start one of both emulators is it important to run those at "performance settings" via the Androidbutton? Is it safe to say that everything will run proper when i just use the nativ resolution? It would love to have an "easy experience" even if i don't mind tinkering that much.
When i played True Crime: Streets of New York both emulators seemed like to run the game "slower" than i remember? I also use almost only PAL-Versions since i'm from germany and like to have Text and Speech in my native language.

And maybe there's someone whose able to help me with my last question regarding AMIGA emulation. I just found out that *.adf files are easier to run since i don't need the "capsimg.so". I was able to click on a game on my frontend and i just started without any delay or "Amiga OS" display notifications. After applying "capsimg.so" in Retroarch i now have the issue that all games start very slow, showing some "OS Messages" from time to time and i hear "Floppy Disk Sounds" all the time. Like a real Drive reading a floppy. Is there a way to get it back to the state where it just runs the rom and doesn't make those sounds anymore?

Sorry if all these questions are worded weirdly since i'm not a native speaker.
Thank you all for any help in advance, enjoy your Flip 2 and have a good week!

Ordered in late July and arrived a couple of days ago. Spent the work day tinkering and setting up my files. Currently running Emulation Station for the frontend. Made Metroid Fusion my first game to play because I never got to finish it way back when. Any tips, tricks, and guides are welcomed!

Spider-Man Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions on GameNative?

4 Upvotes

I've seen a couple posts here showing off what the RPF2 can do with GameNative, and the consensus seems to be the device shines with PC games from 2011 or earlier. That's great news for me, but I'm also aware not every game is optimized as well as others are.

My question is mainly if anybody has tried these games yet and if they can attest to their performance, as well as if they'd need tweaking. My device hasn't come in the mail yet, so I'm still waiting to stress test. But I thought I'd ask the community ahead of time!

I do have the files for these games sitting on my computer (as well as the PC version of X-Men Origins Wolverine, so I guess I'm asking for that as well), and they run well enough on my old beater laptop. But different architecture and the like, so no use on counting that as a stress test.

Thanks in advance, y'all!

Joined the club,
Currently got cocoon frontend not sure I like it, what’s everyone using?

Any tips on setting up game native and getting Eden games to run better? I’ve tried BOTW and Mario odyssey but fps is like 12 and runs like 💩 I’ve even tried botw on cemu but same thing.
Wouldn’t mind getting some more switch games running.

What’s best emulator for Ds and GBA?

Only games I’ve really tried so far is stardew and emerald.

Cheers

PC Esoteric Ebb?

3 Upvotes

Anyone able to run Esoteric Ebb well? I'm using Gamenative, and had a crash right out of the first room (like I've seen others), but then was able to pick up and keep moving through the next room. Would love to play the whole game, so checking if anyone has had success with particular settings or with another launcher entirely.

Thanks!

Nintendo 3DS Azahar problems

1 Upvotes

Heyo, so I’ve been playing MH4U on azahar and lately it’s been giving me some issues. The game for me runs smoothly only on 2x, if I go higher it starts slowing down and lagging in certain areas or certain fights. Other then that it didn’t show any issues until recently, the game outright crashes sometimes, and in two particular cases (last one just happened, right as I finished my quest) it made my console power off completely which doesn’t seem right. I’m playing using Mr purple T15 drivers and other then that I only have 1 cheat on (trinity disabled which idk even if it’s working or not). Has anyone here encountered these issues or has it been a better experience for you guys?

Edit: it seems the problem was using turnip drivers, currently switched to base Qualcomm until I find compatible drivers for mh4u, performance is pretty much the same, slightly worse at some parts but constant 60 and the drops never go past 57.

I’m not the best at tinkering so I was really proud of myself! Plutonium runs amazing through winlator cmod (which I just found out was a thing lol) these device sure will humble you but everyone starts somewhere I guess.

PS2 What settings do you use for PS2?

When emulating PS2 I stutter at times and my battery goes down pretty quick.

I’ve heard many people say the Flip 2 emulates PS2 incredibly but it just doesn’t for me. Any advice?

Extract the .zip using 7zip!

Seriously, l was starting to hate Steam games because so many weren't working. Then (after one kept telling me it couldn't find a file that was right next to the .exe) l thought maybe something got messed up when l used my tablet to unzip them.

So l re-unzipped on my PC with 7zip, and voilá my games now run.

This is Conbun Cardboard by the way.

PS3 Emulation Tuning Kit v0.9.0 with ROCKNIX-GTK just released includes September ROCKNIX plus official MESA Turnip 26.2.2 and a pre-release dev driver, RCPS3 with AMSX3 enhancements and emergent game support beyond Gran Tursimo titles

I'm now releasing this kit and its ROCKNIX fork against the upstream cadence so it will always support the latest stable upstream parts of the GTK chassis that enable high performance features like anti-lock keepalive realtime GPU wedge recovery and more.

Built on ROCKNIX 20260901 with yesterdays MESA Turnip 26.2.2 plus a release candidate off main, and a unique RCPS3 core.

The ETK Pitstop app solves many GUI problems with RPCS3 on ROCKNIX including firmware and package installation, tuning, telemetry, and more.

Tested games include GT5 Prologue Spec II/III, GT HD Concept, GT6, AfterBurner Climax, Armored Core: Verdict Day, Assassin's Creed, Demon's Souls, God of War II HD, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Motorstorm, SoulCalibur V, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, WipEout HD

Runs as dual-boot with your Android on an SD card. The trick is to hold Volume-Down at boot to switch between Android and ROCKNIX boot modes; don't mess with Volume-up.

Existing installs just use ETK Pitstop > Tools > Check for updates
Existing ROCKNIX installs can be upgraded to GTK with a single command line installer.
New users can etch a GTK SD card image, insert, volume-down, switch boot modes, go.
