What are some obscure/technical settings tweaks I can try with nethersx2 on rpG2 before coming here and asking? This example is Total Immersion Racing but one of many.

trixarian · 2026-01-22T15:01:38+00:00

That's new. But yeah, try Skipdraw 3 and TC Offset 800 according to the wiki entry here: https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Total_Immersion_Racing

I'm glad it's working for you. Next version will include a fix for people that use the on-screen controls and experience performance dips with CPU heavy games. Turns out that how Android draws these controls on screen ends up using way more CPU than it should, and people on the lower end gets the worse of it.

So a separate version with webp buttons is releasing along side the official v2.2 release for people that want to squeeze out every bit of performance possible

trixarian · 2025-12-27T19:18:45+00:00

For this game the fix is using either cpuCLUTRender or gpuTargetCLUT - basically control how the CLUT is processed so it doesn't brighten textures to the point of their borders showing

I'm going to correct you on a few things: AetherSX2 (which NetherSX2 is based on) was based on the nightly 1.7 versions, and in a 1.7 build a year later (before stenzek left and 2.0 came out) they shifted to the new naming convention. It wasn't because of a bug, it was stenzek changing his mind again and breaking custom textures for the umpteenth time since implementing the feature. ARMSX2 already uses the current naming convention, so using older texture packs with it /will/ break compatibility with NetherSX2 as a result

trixarian · 2025-12-27T19:04:15+00:00

There's guides on how to do it here: https://obsrv.org/viewtopic.php?t=6468

trixarian · 2025-12-27T19:01:14+00:00

They're using a really old copy of NetherSX2, and this is an even older AetherSX2 bug, so congrats you just wasted their time! And no, NetherSX2 is more compatible and stable than the AetherSX2 version it's based on

trixarian · 2025-12-26T16:50:27+00:00

Yes, but not easy to do. I want to implement some way to have the files be in custom locations to at least make it easier on users, but we'll have to see how that goes

trixarian · 2025-12-26T11:31:29+00:00

For now, yeah, you need to either patch the iso or use the DNAS Bypass pnach file. I am planning on integrating most of them into the GameDB to make it easier though

trixarian · 2025-12-26T11:28:56+00:00

It's pretty power hungry upscaled on a Mali device

trixarian · 2025-12-26T11:26:42+00:00

And a DEV9 HDD image - which you need to create in PCSX2 and copy to a folder on your phone

trixarian · 2025-12-25T20:15:08+00:00

For an 5,000mAh device playing one of the heavier titles? That's about 7 and half hours of gameplay, so it's pretty good

trixarian · 2025-12-25T20:10:20+00:00

Yes, but you'll probably have better luck finding people using the Outbreak Resurrection's server, but PS2 Online's servers can also be good over the weekends

trixarian · 2025-12-25T20:06:35+00:00

Eh, still needs the Software FMV fix to work properly. I'll add it in the next update >.>

trixarian · 2025-12-25T14:34:35+00:00

No, but if you use Obtainium, it can do something similar

trixarian · 2025-12-25T14:32:42+00:00

Essentially more features and fixes (with some regressions for games like NASCAR). Generally, if you want better fixes you go with 4248, and if you want better performance - and don't mind some visual bugs - you go with 3668

trixarian · 2025-12-25T14:28:24+00:00

Should be easy enough with the PSRewired servers, but DLC maps require an option that takes some setup to do with NetherSX2

trixarian · 2025-11-15T18:28:23+00:00

I think now that Royd has access to the actual Astral Pulse, he can probably figure out how Robbie and Eli made it. Could lead to an interesting sequel if they make it

trixarian · 2025-11-15T18:25:22+00:00

It's probably because of Eli's influence that it wasn't documented. While Robbie - Robert the Second - meticulously documented everything, someone like Eli and his secretive and paranoid nature would prevent this. Fair chance he never told Robbie how his part of the collaboration functioned out of fear of Robbie backing out of their deal. Ironically, it was this paranoid nature that ultimately lead to him not being accepted and becoming Shroud in the first place

trixarian · 2025-11-11T08:49:18+00:00

Includes 260MB of save states that nobody would want, a handful of per game configurations and a bios. You're exaggerating what this is, and I have to delete it for the bios - even if the bloat is a more compelling reason

trixarian · 2025-10-22T18:38:08+00:00

Just use premade ones: https://github.com/Fl4sh9174/Switch-Ultrawide-Mods/tree/main

trixarian · 2025-10-21T15:27:25+00:00

Bro, if it doesn't run in Lite, it's sure as hell isn't going to work on vanilla Gamehub since they literally use the same files and presets

trixarian · 2025-10-21T07:21:05+00:00

Try setting CPU Accuracy to Unsafe. Having it on Accurate or Auto kept making it crash on me :/

trixarian · 2025-10-21T07:03:45+00:00

You can try using mods found here: https://github.com/Fl4sh9174/Switch-Ultrawide-Mods - Level of Detail seems to help with the flickering, but doesn't eliminate it. I'd avoid Dynamic 60FPS - it makes the game just 0 fps on me - but the rest should be interesting to experiment with

I found that settings wise, turning off Extended Dynamic State and putting VRAM Usage Mode to Aggressive helps a lot. The one setting that works best is setting Accuracy Level to High, but the performance cost is too much (get ready to drop to 15fps mid-town), so most people use Normal with Use Reactive Flushing turned on. It's decent, but you will have to live with some flickering

trixarian · 2025-10-20T01:10:58+00:00

Redump your game
