I am posting this because im only getting 40 framerate when playing Rayman 2.
Any advice?

I normally get a bit peeved when I see people bump threads after just a few hours, but this really takes the mick.
Have a bit of patience mate

Use eboots, they are a lot faster than other forms of rips (bin etc).
Other than that, zodtt himself gives the following advice (quoted from www(dot)androidemus(dot)com):
Things that must be known:
- Anti aliasing on some devices is slow. Disable it to start off with.
- Make sure you have precise cdrom DISABLED. It affects audio greatly. It's only for Diablo, in which case it needs that setting.
- Save states can become incompatible between releases. I try to minimize these issues, but if you run into a performance issue, try without save states.
- Save states also save the cycle and precise cdrom settings you saved with. Once saved they are locked in!
- Use NTSC (US/Japanese) versions of games if possible! I haven't been testing with PAL games and they run at a different FPS.
- The Cycle setting is your friend. Raising it MAY increase your FPS. Raising it too high will just increase the FPS but not the gameplay. Lowering it to 2 helps in some games, especially heavily 3D ones. It's very dependent on the game being played.
That being said:
1. Uninstall v2. Re-Install the latest version of v2. At time of writing it's 1.1.2. Confirm it is the latest version. Leave every setting at the default. Enable the FPS setting. Disable the Anti-Aliasing setting. Start a NEW game (NO Save States). Note the game being tested, and note the FPS in a certain area of that game.
2. From there, try a Cycle setting of 4 instead of 3, and start a new game with no save states. You might also want to try a refresh rate of 30 instead of 60. Check the FPS in that game and see if it went up in that area.
3. Try enabling CDDA if you have a proper rip with the CDDA files in place. If that doesn't help, try disabling sound and (or?) CDDA.
Alternatively, wait for FPSeCE for Android, should be out any day now...

[Q] Fpse and N64oid configuration

Whats the best System/input/overall settings for these two emulators, to get nice smooth, non laggy gameplay? i find on fpse my tekken 3 lags a little every once and a while, and on n64oid..Zelda OOT lags a little everytime i roll lol...any suggestions of proper settings? i must have something setup wrong since i see vids on youtube with no lag gameplay, especially on Zelda OOT.. thanks guys really appreciate the help. Kes

For Tekken 3, and most psx games, you can pretty much use HLE, set frameskip to any option, frame limiter on, and make sure you DISABLE rumble. Tekken and many games will lag badly with rumble on. Use the default settings (reinstall fpse or clear defaults), then enable hle or dont' configure a bios. Then define your controls, and turn on only l1/l2 and r1/r2 as on screen buttons. Don't modify the configuration settings for the overlay, and don't modify anything else. SAve these as your defaults and tekken 3 should scream. From there, you can slowly tweak whatever else you want and see what you're enabling that's breaking your framerate. FYI, I keep reading from users that bios mode is faster than HLE, but that has not been my experience. Bios mode has enabled some games that didn't work with HLE alone, but the framerates are similar to PSX4droid, which in comparison to FPSE in HLE mode have been crap with the games I've tried.
*update*
So after playing with the default config and trying my bios again, it appears those SAME settings I was referring to are the cause of abysmal bios emulation speeds. With bios enabled, most games run as well as or better than with the HLE settings. Furthermore, frameskip works properly, and makes tobal 2 completely playable at full speeds with sound and only periodic frame jumping. Tony Hawk 2 also renders correctly. Can't gripe at anyone but myself for not having enjoyed FPSE to its full extent all this time. If you have issues, I'd be happy to post my default config. I taylor specific games off of that, took a while to update most of my 30 isos to use bios mode, but it was completely worth it. Thanks for posting your question, and forcing me to reevaluate my settings

Thanks a lot for your help man, really appreciate the prompt and detailed reply ya i found that it runs a little smoother in bios mode too

You know the save default config in FPSE...is that for each individual game?
I find some games work better on one setting, whilst others work better on another setting.
I know you can save individual configs, but just a bit confused as to what the procedure is to do so.

The config profiles are mightily confusing for someone new to them.
Took me a while to understand how they work too. It's not very well done tbh.
Easy once you understand though.
1) Without loading a game, change your settings then save them <--- this is now your default settings
2) When you load a game and change the settings, this now becomes your settings for that individual game.
3) Unless you save them as the default settings, which now become the default settings.
Not very user friendly, but they work nevertheless.

Cheers.
Been muddling my way through it.
Wish you could do that in N64oid!

Is there a way to get the sticks to work in FPse?
Trying to play Ape escape and it tells me I need a dual shock controller.
I go in and there doesn't seem to be a setting for them unless I am missing it.
Edit:
Where can I find N64droid?

The dev at FPSE said they are working on it so hopefully it will work soon.
N64oid is available at SlideME market.

[Q] Low graphics

Has anyone else found that games detect the G2 and set into Low Graphics, mine does Modern Combat 4 goes to medium settings, no fire or even smoke effects on menu to show high graphics.. This is dissapointing this is now in the top 3 phones for gaming. Other games at least offer you the option to change settings like with Dead Trigger cause it set to Low as well (runs 60FPS on High though so it's a problem with either the phone or the apps)
I've tried using the apk modder to use the original APK i have from gameloft and setting it to 3 but then when I install it and download the files.. back to 1, 0 is the lowest.. and my G2 gets set to 1. Come on gameloft, I want it at least on 2.

Smurfs epic run frame rate on Nougat S8

Hello there.
Is it normal that game "Smurfs epic run" on Nougat framerate dosent show full playback. It sort of skipps a little when running. I tested the game under different phone on Lolipop on and it plays fine.
Is it optimization on s8 problem? Its not like game needs powerfull phone wich S8 is anyway.
I tried lower resolution and game mode even game tuner and didnt helped. U guys experienced same thing? Maybe its not opimized yet for s8 aspect ratio or something. Anything else i can set up?
Everything else plays perfectly fine on the phone. Very satisfied otherwise.
Can anyone confirm that this is "game" issue?

this sort of behaviour is almost always present on a newly released phone
it's often a combination of the game itself, and the firmware of the phone itself that both need optimising some more to make things play along nicely.

I think the same. Actually i tried too limit framerate on 30fps inside app Game tuner from Samsung, and it was smooth, just that number of frames per second is kinda annoying. Just realized that tuner" has thoes aditional setting where u can customize framerate and everything else lol. Im gonna play with it later tonight when i get back home from work. I will prolly find the way too bypasss this skipping with 40 - 50 frames or something. Just downloaded Tuner app today, so i have too learn all posibilities inside its settings.

Can anyone write here procedure how too delete Cloud Save over Facebook login.
I did delete cloud save" under options, - but this deleted the current save only, inside the device. I wanna start game from beggining. But after this, game only offers me too replace "cloud save" with my current save, since Cloud save is my old game wich is more advanced.

Ok, i find out the save thing". What is strange, last night i find the game perfectly smooth framerate full 60. then today, again skips a little. I tried game tuner, but all i can do mostly is downgrade framerate, wich i dont want to. I guess after two updates already from game developer, they still didnt optimized the game 100% for samsung s8. Anyone else has any tip too give me, too try out something else in setting?
I did tried battery saver off, gaming mode on, max performance on, its like it maybe works 60 full frames, but some app is blocking the game too perform smooth framerate withtout skipping.

Can someone please test the game and help resolve this if its an issue? Thanks

i guess no one plays this lol

Mediocre Game Performance

The game in question is Cytus II. Whenever more than 4 notes appear on screen, the performance tanks. Even with game battery saver downscaling the resolution to 720p, it still does this. Does anyone else experience a similar issue while playing games?
Cytus II isn't even a graphics-heavy game, so it's starting to make me question this phone and its performance.

If all graphic heavy games are running smooth it's not problem with phone itself. Try to force 2d acceleration via GPU in developer settings...

I noticed there was some LG Game tool or something running, after I tapped on it, I selected the option to turn it off (it has performance settings, which were set to balanced) and games seem to run better, never played Cytus, but when I played PUBG is was a significant improvement.

Thank you! It's not a night and day difference, but the game definitely runs a bit smoother after disabling that option. It's not placebo either; I just played the game without any lagspikes whatsoever.

I only speak English sorry, but if you open the settings app, under 'general' there is a gaming button.
It is labeled 'game tools' in English, but its the top toggle, hope this helps
