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The emulator now warns you if your cheats or patches are outdated, making them easier to spot after an update.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