Hi, I have been redownloading and extracting the textures many times, but can't seem to make it work. I followed tutorials. Can someone help? The game seem to work fine but the textures won't load. When I disable the textures the game works normally. No cheats enabled. I'm trying to play on a Samsung Galaxy S25+

News/Release Release ARMSX2 2.6.4.3 · ARMSX2/ARMSX2

Dirge of Cerberus gets the biggest improvement this update. The emulator now disables hardware readbacks for the game, removing a major performance bottleneck and making it run much better on supported devices. Credit to BMDHacks.

Hardware readback overrides are working properly again. Some games rely on these built in overrides for correct rendering and performance. Games like Everybody's Golf 4 will now automatically use the intended settings again.

The Emotion Engine (EE) received a 2 to 3 percent performance improvement. It isn't a huge jump, but since the EE is the PS2's main CPU, every game benefits a little from the optimization. Credit to BMDHacks.

Nintendo Joy Con D Pad mapping has been fixed, so the D Pad now works correctly.

A Fast Forward speed slider has been added. Instead of only Unlimited, you can now choose speeds from 2x to 10x, giving more control when skipping cutscenes or slower sections.

A Library Opacity slider has been added under Settings, letting you adjust the transparency of the game library.

Recently Played received two changes. You can now remove individual games from the Recently Played section without clearing the whole list, and the emulator now exports your Recently Played list as a text file for companion launchers and other external tools. Credit to Misantronic for the text file export.

Fixed the issue where some games stayed paused after closing the pause menu.

The emulator now warns you if your cheats or patches are outdated, making them easier to spot after an update.

I know the developer, but I'm not part of the ARMSX2 team. I'm sharing this update because I enjoy following the project and thought others might find it useful. The developer is genuinely a great guy so I don't mind posting it :)

Official Playstation2EmulationonAndroid sub reddit is r/Playstation2onAndroid( Not related to the guy causing troubles to the devs it is created by the devs of ARMSX2 and other PS2 android emulators jpolo was the mod before he got ban ) If you have anything PS2 related post on this sub it will be much appreciated :)

Also a lot of people ask about the Obtainium link so I will link it in every post https://github.com/RJNY/Obtainium-Emulation-Pack/releases/tag/v7.11.0

Question Getting games to work on Winlator CMOD 13.1.1

1 Upvotes

An annoying amateur here; but I'm trying to get a nostalgia hit and play NFS ProStreet on Winlator CMOD 13.1.1 on my redmagic 10s pro.

Been fighting with this for a few days now; installing removing reinstalling but nothing has managed to get it launching effectively. Game works fine on Desktop, but no luck copying those files to phone.

Any help would be appreciated; believe the issue is narrowed down to the container setup but I'm not exactly an expert at reading the crash dump logs

Discussion How much RAM do you actually need for PC emulation?

16 Upvotes

TLDR - Get atleast 12GB of RAM if you are interested in PC emulation

8GB or less

Very limiting, you might experience crashes if you try to play newer games or they might not boot at all, ram boost can help you but it's not a reliable solution

Highly recommend avoiding 8GB if possible and getting 12GB

12GB

This here is the comfortable territory, almost all games will run since you can hit a goal of 8GB RAM and 2GB VRAM for games

16GB or more

You might see a small performance boost from having more access to ram and you might run some games that 12GB can't but if they will actually perform well is another question, but hey, it's never bad to have more ram!

Another question is how long does the quick setting menu changes take to apply.

Question What emulators and drivers would you recommend for OnePlus Pad 4? (8 elite gen 5)

1 Upvotes

I'll get my OnePlus pad 4 in 3 days, but I have never owned a device with snapdragon. I have vivo x200 pro with dimensity 9400, so my experience with emulation hasn't been the best. I am mostly interested in Nintendo switch and PC games.

What apps would you recommend me to use and what drivers? I've also heard that there is Xbox 360 emulation now, how is it?

Help Increasing FPS for Dark Souls Remastered

11 Upvotes

How could I increase FPS in Dark Souls Remastered? I use game assembly for Switch and emulate by Citron. I have very unstable FPS. Sometimes it is 15 and something it is 30 or even 35.

I think 25-30 FPS will be good and playable. My configurations is: Redmi Pad Pro; Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Mobile Platform. Octa-core Max 2.4GHzb 6+2 GB RAM; Android 16.

Should I try another configurations in Citron? Or maybe I should try to emulate by Winlator?

Here's what I've been experiencing while playing this game:

The game runs good, but it gets laggy when I reach to the menus, moreover the fps dips into the 10s-20s when using chase cam.

It shouldn't be happening for a 24 year old game on Windows.

Overall, I'm still trying to get the hang of it since I barely played the game.

Help Running World Driver Championship (n64) on my Ambernic RG405M

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to play World Driver Championship and it's a nightmare.

Retroarch with mupen64plus_next_gles3 (super turbo edition revival) works well... as long as you don't try to save/load the game, or even just turn your screen off. If you do then it just crashes, or the image turns black and never come back. So it's pretty much unusable.

I've tried other core/emulator (like paralleln_64 or the stand alone version of M64Plus FZ), and they are more stable with other games, but they simply wont run World Driver Championship.

At some point I was able to run an older version of mupen64plus (I'm don't even know which one) and it was both able to sustain turning the screen off or saving AND it runs World Driver Championship... but the image was always shaking for some reason.

Anyone has an idea ?
