    I did a lot of tweaks. I think I finally found some very useful settings. They fixed the slowdowns efficiently (Except gt4... Frame drops are still there, not much but still there.this game is just too demanding I guess).and it has to be with Vulkan.
    Enable these 3 options:
    1. Disable hardware reakbacks.(graphics section)
    2. Throttle present rate.(graphics section)
    3. Threaded presentation (advanced section)
    I got huge performance boost with these options enabled. But the explanation of these options noticed that they could cause glitches as the cost. I hope that cost is not a big deal for the playability.(sd855 Vulkan)

    From what you've shown it not only is based on PCSX2 but also has the same issues PCSX2 has. I wish you went into more detail on whether its options allow for the same workaround for Gran Turismo 4 to prevent the rolling start "get ready to drive" text to stay on for the entire race, and the missing split times, and whether this workaround still causes crashes on some licenses.

    • @kabl00muk94

      From what I've seen if it's true for pcsx2, it more or less holds true for Aethersx2.
      Had the exact same issues (clipping in SMT 3 or shadow issues in front mission 4 for example) as on pc.
      Problem is because it's an alpha, there's still options and settings left to be added.
      But given performance so far I think this will get the attention it deserves for fixes etc, just a waiting game.

    Snapdragon 845 here, on a Pocophone F1 Armored Edition (8GB Ram version). Most games play well, but i have to tweak the underclocking options under the performance section of the app settings to get a steady 60fps on these games. For some reason, Fight Night 3 can only run at about 70% speed while in the actual fight. All the other sections of the game can easily go up to 200% speed (i use this to test the speed cap to see if i still have room to improve the game in the settings.)
    Shadow of the Colossus runs well.. It says 60fps, but it feels like im dropping frames sometimes, that the counter couldnt pick up for some reason.
    Psi-Ops has a weird texture issue where anything close to the camera becomes just all greened-out, but the game plays smoothly at 60fps. Almost unplayable due to the graphic glitch though. Tried a lot of tweaking, but to no avail. It is one of my favorite action games of all time, so i had to stretch my options a bit more than usual, but hey... AetherSX2 is pretty early in its release, im sure somewhere along the way we may be able to get a fix for something like this.
    Valkyrie Profile Silmeria slows down in a lot in in-game cutscenes. Also slows down while standing/walking through well lit spots, especially in towns, but it does smooth out when in dungeons which are mostly dark and torches dont cause any slowdowns, and also plays really smooth in combat.
    Other games ive tested that plays really smooth are Kingdom Hearts 1, Onimusha 3, Castlevania Lament of Innocence and Dirge of Cerberus.

    Update:- So tested a few games out, 2 X Resolution seems to be the max whilst running a stable framerate.
    Final fantasy X/XII - Runs great at 1X Vulkan, will run at 2X but upscaling problems ruin cut scenes.
    Front mission 4 - Runs great at 1X Vulkan/OpenGL however shadow bug persists throughout and gradually gets worse.
    Use software rendering to fix however slight frame drops.
    Front mission 5 - Runs great at 1x Resolution Vulkan, any higher exhibits slowdown in cut scenes.
    SMT 3 - runs amazingly well in openGL however there are sprite clipping issues that I'm still looking for a fix for
    Persona 3 FES - runs great in openGL and Vulkan at 2X resolution.
    Shadow hearts - perfect at 2X with Vulcan/OpenGL
    Shadow of the Colossus - big frame drops no matter what used, not a good experience atm imo.
    Blood will tell - frame rate drops from 60 to mid 30s regardless of settings.
    Ultimate Spider-Man - juddery mess with broken visuals.
    GTA San Andreas - perfect aside from ghosting, use hacks - autoflush hardware/software to fix.
    Will update when I've tested more 👌🏻

      Just put it on to double check, I do get frame drops when running about but always stays between 55 and 60 so not noticeable in the slightest.
      Checked and it's across all 3 rendering methods so not sure if it's something that was actually carried across from the hardware itself (like resi 1 remake on Dolphin, drops huge frames between scene transitions but that was present on the GameCube itself so no fix)

    Works fine on my Redmi Note 8 (SD 665). Only 3 settings i changed to run at full speed, for general settings, i use fast preset and Vulkan renderer (+10 FPS compared to OpenGL). Third setting depends on individual game, so i changed the settings on individual game (you can tap hold the game title and choose game properties), i only changed graphics settings>preload texture setting, for 3D games, turn it on, for 2D, leave it as is (default is off). I only tested 4 games thou, 2 out of 4 works fine (one 3D and one 2D), the other one works in menu only but closes the app when goes into gameplay, the other one makes the phone hardlocked 🤣. Salute to the dev team, keep up guys!!
    Edit : The app got update just a while ago and guess what?? All four games now work!! Still same settings just updated app. Third game (3D) runs almost perfect, just some dips sometimes but doesn't affect my gaming experience, i'd say it's playable. Fourth game (3D)? Also works but at around half speed (20-30 FPS). Well done, dev!!

      You still have to do trial and error thou, like in my case, sometimes OpenGL renderer does better, like what i found in KR Kabuto after update (before it was hardlocked). Just mess with those 3 settings combination, especially renderer and preload texture (just be careful with preload texture, most 3D games need it, at least in my case, like if i turn it off in KR Kabuto, it'll hardlock the phone lol)

    This is amazing. I've seen tour videos playing god of war II and it's absolutely mind blowing, I'm hoping for games such as RE4, Black or DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3

    A slap to Damon face with their paid one. Incredible. Running on my s20. Will try my s8 spare. I can't get ultimate spiderman to run even on 30fps. But I'm sure their working on this bad boy. 🤝✊👊

    Thanks for video. Waiting for the next. Can you test some older Huawei smartphones with Kirin SOC like 960, 970?

    Thank you for the video demonstration. I needed to find an emulator and wanted to know if I can connect my controllers. Great video.
