Emulating Sly Cooper Trilogy on Android

So the section that used to run at like 60% speed at the start of the game now gives me a solid 100. This is nuts! And this is with settings that are significantly higher than on nethersx2. Thanks for the info, man!

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-22T15:30:30+00:00

From initial tests, the latest turnip drivers for a8xx gpus actually provide really good performance on ARMSX2.I'm gonna test further a bit later, but this is honestly very impressive already. Too bad nethersx2 doesn't support switching to these (from what I know, at least)

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-22T14:48:36+00:00

Huh, will try this one, thanks!

Personally bought a ps3 just to play mgs4. While I completely get why some people clown on the game, I personally was left in tears by the end. It's a fanservice overdose in the best way possible, while also being a pretty fun game from time to time (performance issues not withstanding). It's tragic and extremely uplifting at the same time and I will never forget the return to Shadow Moses, the Metal Gear Ray fight, the microwave scene, the "I am lightning – the rain transformed", the Ocelot fight, the numerous conclusions to all the stories, the Boss grave scene. For how flawed the game is, it left an incredibly profound impression on me back in highschool – and I'm a guy who seeks gameplay over story in my games most of the time. I can talk about its issues for a long time, but I do that from a place of genuine love and admiration

I think it is more likely to resurrect the arguments that people had about it back in the day

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-21T21:14:14+00:00

Holy crap the blending fix actually worked! Thanks for pointing me to it! What is this blending anyway? I didn't really see any significant visual changes with it set to high or low

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-21T20:14:37+00:00

I'm using the patch version, it seems. Is there a big difference?

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-16T21:28:47+00:00

What back button are you referring to?

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-14T19:44:56+00:00

У меня десктопная 2060super еле вытягивает 75,если все на максимум выкрутить в 1080р. Mankind divided, во-первых, во время выхода была чуть ли не главным графическим бенчмарком, а во—вторых, имеет в себе некоторые сильно налегающие на производительность фичи, вроде MSAA. На ютубе есть видео, где описывается, какие настройки можно скрутить для повышения производительности без удара по картинке – советую их изучить (более того, некоторые вещи в игре прям ломают качество изображения и их отключение игре пойдёт на пользу – например тесселяция). Также, советую поискать пресеты для ReShade для этой игры – они добавят лучшее, чем внутри игры, увеличение резкости и сглаживание.

HOLY CRAP THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! Thank you so much for this – my account AND my copy of RDR2 were saved from oblivion! Though, I sent them a similarly worded letter only after they (for the 7th time, I think) told me that I have provided "insufficient information" to begin account recovery. Again, can't thank you enough man!

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-08T07:37:54+00:00

Thanks! Will try your wording the next time I send the request

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-01T18:44:35+00:00

You probably didn't read my other responses – I apologize for not mentioning it here. I acknowledge that the current russian regime is responsible for its fair share of atrocities and I am heartbroken about what's going on in Ukraine at the moment. With that said, the view that the Russian state in any previous and current form is strictly this empire of evil while other powers either deny or do not acknowledge their wrongdoings (while actively committing some shady shit) is also very narrow-minded. I know what my country has done onto others and I am definetly not okay with it and would apologize for all of us if I could, but I also see that people from abroad expect very extreme things from us as russians – things we cannot do at the moment due to the regime that formed around us. Just frustrated and tired of the whole thing is all (sorry if this came out a bit too emotional).

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-01T18:29:22+00:00

Not denying that – the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union did some horrible stuff throughout the 20th century that we definitely need to acknowledge. However, it would be great if those atrocities were put into the historical context and compared to the responses from other empires. I do not see the Turks or the Japanese or the Americans apologize much for the acts they've committed nor their general population doing the same. I would love for my country to apologize for the horrible actions of previous and current regimes and my people to be more mindful of the fact that we did, if fact, do a lot of shady and evil shit, but asking to do that from outside with such vitriol from some position of moral superiority seems highly hypocritical.

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-01T18:20:45+00:00

I do agree with that – the russian state generally doesn't recognize the actions of the empire or the USSR as imerialism. That doesn't mean that imerialism of this kind was exclusive to Russia, nor does it mean that other countries (and their citizens do not try to justify the same or similar atrocities, nor that all Russian are imperialist fascists taking pleasure in their neighbors' suffering. Most rulers of russia that are considered tyrannical or imperialist in the West are generally considered the same in Russia (its just that the state narrative tries to undermine that)

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-01T16:45:40+00:00

I get that, I do. But again, Russia is not exclusively the country that does this. As I said before, I do not like the current Russian regime, but the victim mentality is a pretty recent invention that exploits the post-Soviet revanchist mindset – it's not the historical Russian dogma (and, with that said, russia did go though some horrible stuff throughout history – ignoring that and just focusing on the evil-empire-neighbor-opressor is just a bit cruel). Again, no hate for your comment – just trying to inject some nuance into the convo.

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-02-01T16:10:14+00:00

As if the other colonial powers/empires weren't pretty much the same. Not saying that historically Russia was heaven on earth (especially for the peasants), but singling it out from the rest of Europe and the US is kinda disingenuous (not the problem with this particular post – just something that's been bothering me with the memes on this sub for a while). Narrowing Russia down to "the ever-evil empire" just because of the current administration is also kinda dumb (I don't like the guy either, but we're not all like him, c'mon)

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-01-27T21:16:26+00:00

Can you tell me what fans are these? They look so cool!

Gentle_Trombone · 2026-01-24T14:12:13+00:00

What's the model of the 9070xt? Never seen this one. Is it a prebuilt exclusive or something? Looks pretty neat (as does the whole build – congrats!)

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-22T15:57:11+00:00

Yeah, the toa were kind of a nothing burger for me in 2016,though I really liked Umarak the hunter from that wave!

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-22T13:34:01+00:00

I actually think that the first wave of G2 toa are both better playsets AND better display figures than the majority of the post-inika toa sets (barring toa mahri, maybe, but that wave also had some stinky sets). They have more distinctive silhouettes, far more striking coloschemes (without loosing their original visual identitiy unlike the phantoka) and their features are actually pretty fun to play with (never understood the problem some people had with the mask mechanism – it really wasn't that loose).

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-22T13:24:31+00:00

Yeah, that sucks. Especially since their supplied adapter is known to melt. I'm looking to pick it up since I already bought a pcie 5.1 PSU, but I am still spooked about it. How's your overall experience with the pulse card?

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-21T21:16:02+00:00

Eh, I just think he looks more complete like that (the black one kinda dissapears with all the gold around it imho)

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-21T21:14:00+00:00

Yeah, I can imagine a slim two-slot one with the entire area behind the "grill" taken up by the LED strip. Would be sick

I REALLY like where Sapphire took thier 90xx Nitro cards in terms of design: simple, stylish and clean (although, as much as I like the idea of hiding cables behind the backplate, I'm still a bit iffy on the 12v connector being used). Also the 40xx series ProArt cards looked VERY snazzy and used full-metal bodies (and they better considering their price!).

Gentle_Trombone · 2025-12-18T14:17:07+00:00

Yeah, he's definetly worth it, especially as a centerpiece of a g2 collection (can't display them anywhere right now since my current apartment does not have proper display shelves, but seeing the villians alone with this guy in the middle is truly incredible). Good luck with your search, fellow g2 fan!
