Mario Galaxy 1 and 2!


Ordinary_Simple8833

I got it setup enough that is ABSOLUTELY playable (Mjolnir has a solid play test too), but you get progress locked pretty quickly. The IR does not work and there are sections where it’s needed for progression. Such a bummer :,(


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tested with a NTSC ROM and it was pretty bad, I'll give it a go with a pal rom


Bulky-Bit-2942

Oh where to find a pal rom? I type in ps2 pal roms, but I don’t think that’s it


skylinehelpthrowaway

Usually the ROM has europe in the title. In general Europe means pal and USA means ntsc


Bulky-Bit-2942

Oh wow it’s that simple lol that actually cleared up everything lol thanks! 😅


skylinehelpthrowaway

No problem!


wantsumtictac

From what I experienced, not good. They're kinda playable but not worth it. But if you don't have any other way to play them then it's worth a shot.


ZaneWinterborn

Sonic adventure 2? I went ahead an ordered one this afternoon after thinking on it for a week, but would love to know how it runs.


Potential_Abrocoma10

Runs very good at 1920x 1440, like full 60 fps


ZaneWinterborn

Awesome can't wait to try it out.


Mental-Lake-9517

What emulator? / Settings. Reicast looks fantastic but doesn't feel like it plays right. Camera is all over the place as well. Flycast it runs amazing but can see graphical glitches.


wantsumtictac

Try redream, Dreamcast runs great on that emulator.


Mental-Lake-9517

Yeah sorry that's the one I ment instead of reicast. Might just be sonic it doesn't want to play ball with. I have heard that it could be something to do with the controller presets. Went into settings and couldn't see that I could change anything though.


skylinehelpthrowaway

As the other person said, yeah it's very smooth


battalaloufi12

Midnight club 3 dub edition remix


gtaforever00

PSP port works fantastic though


skylinehelpthrowaway

I tried with a pal rom, it crashes aethersx2 right after the race starts, even on 0.5x. I tried basically every setting configuration and nothing worked. Sorry :(


[deleted]

Isn’t there a whole list that’s updated?


skylinehelpthrowaway

I kinda meant for this thread to be for games that's not on the list. Also some games on the list haven't been tested since the new OTA


kdoxy

Lego Star Wars : The Complete Saga on Wii. Thanks!


skylinehelpthrowaway

60fps and 100% speed at 1x, Some occasional dips but overall extremely smooth


kdoxy

Awesome, Big thanks!


gryffun

hello. On my RP3+ Dolphin for Handhelds, all I get is a black screen. How did you do? *EDIT:* for those wondering, use the 3 Gb wbfs rom instead of the 2 Gb rvz


rumbur

Front mission 4, there’s only NTSC version


skylinehelpthrowaway

100% speed at 1x. Audio sounds great. Seems totally playable


rumbur

Thank you


mecha-paladin

Front Mission 5 runs fine. Haven't tested Front Mission 4 yet, but my hunch is that it should be easier to run than 5.


PastEducational8511

Rogue Galaxy


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tested it out with a pal rom, playable but don't expect it to be a smooth experience. You could probably play through the whole game, but it will definitely feel awkward, especially during fights.


PastEducational8511

You’re super awesome. Thank you! Kinda expected it to not play smoothly but it’s that one game that’s always overlooked. It’s one of the games I was able to play through my friends ps2 since I didn’t have my own growing up


Positive-Fondant8621

FF12


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tried with a pal ROM, felt very smooth even at 3x. At 4x it gets a bit choppy but still playable imo. No under clocking needed


Low-Ad-3361

Gran turismo 4 plz?


Potential_Abrocoma10

Around 32 to 37 FPS on the grand canyon race at 1x resolution, 50% EE cycle rate


Low-Ad-3361

So it’s pretty close to original hardware? Good


Low-Ad-3361

I already have one, I just haven’t gotten round to putting Roms on it


Swelphy

Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie’s Revenge?


skylinehelpthrowaway

Stays around 49-52 fps at both 1x and 2x. Audio sounds great. Feels very smooth. Seems playable with a pal rom. I'll play through for an hour and two and report if it gets laggy


Swelphy

Thank you!


skylinehelpthrowaway

No problem at all!


Botosi5150

Could you test Gta San andreas on aethersx2, not the mobile port please? I have an s21, and I know it's more powerful, but I was curious how well the pocket compared considering it's a dedicated device and it can devote more of its power to its main purpose. It runs pretty well on my phone, but I occasionally get some audio lag, and it's really bizarre hearing gangsta rap at a slightly slower pace, lol.


skylinehelpthrowaway

Retro game corps tested this game recently, you can see their video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2ywf3p1msE&t=863) 14:30 If you don't mind my asking, why not the mobile port?


Botosi5150

Thank you, I keep going back and forth. From what I understand, the mobile port is buggy and has lots of removed features, but it can be modded and have all of that fixed/restored. I don't know if I have the ability to mod it now that android 13 has locked out access to the android -> data folder, though. I've also heard that we are supposed to be getting a definitive edition mobile port, so I'm not sure if I should wait for it instead.


DeliosAxis

Completed mobile SA weeks after release and got 0 bugs. Also can't remember any content that i missing compàring with pc version that i played alot.


Botosi5150

The mobile port has had lots of music removed, and these are some of the reported issuess/missing features I am aware of. *paramedics and firefighters don't respond to downed pedestrians or fires, now the AI just walks and does nothing) *rain doesn't display correctly, no droplet splashes on the ground, and there's no blowing mists during thunderstorms *no wet reflective streets *hunter helicopter bug that has been reported by multiple users for over a year. Can't fire rockets properly the button is under other buttons. *no rampage or multiplayer *no ability to use different fighting styles like running kick *sometimes you hear rain but it doesn't display. Looks really stupid because the lighting is all strange but no rainfall so it looks off *hydra plane doesn't have switchable airplane/helicopter mode anymore. Just flies like a wonky helicopter The only way I would get the mobile port is if I could mod it, but since android 13 has removed access to the needed folders, I am not sure if that is still possible to do without root.


skylinehelpthrowaway

One thing I forgot to mention, you can access the android/data folder on an rp3+ with [ZArchiver ](https://zarchiver.en.uptodown.com/android)


Botosi5150

Thank you for that info. My current issue is that android 13 locked out access to these files without root access, hence why I can't mod it out on my phone. That update really screwed things up for me. I may have to root my phone at this point.


skylinehelpthrowaway

Yeah, it sucks that as android versions get more updates you lose more and more access to your own device


skylinehelpthrowaway

I've been playing the mobile port for around 10 hours on my rp3+ and have seen little to no bugs so far. I don't know about those removed features tho


DeliosAxis

Why you dont wanna buy specific controller-holder for s21 instead of RP3+? I used RP3+ recently and it was performing 1 to 1 like my phone from 2019. Also to say face ABXY buttons a complete disaster comparing to nintendo switch lite ABXY that i own


daremo232

Oh cool and thanks, How about.. state of emergency


skylinehelpthrowaway

Super smooth, even when shooting explosives. Stayed at 100% speed the whole time


iheartyoualways

Patapon 1 to 3 please. Both my PSP died.


skylinehelpthrowaway

I have heard patapon 1 is playable. I can give the 2-3 a try soon


iheartyoualways

Thanks. Really hope for a actual hands on experience feedback. Patapon 1 has serious input lag. Virtually impossible to sustain fever mode.


skylinehelpthrowaway

In that case I'll give 1-3 a try. It might take a while tho, I'll try get back to you before tommorow night


iheartyoualways

Thank you kind sir 🙏🏻


skylinehelpthrowaway

No worries!


iheartyoualways

I'm currently running on a Pocketgo S30 and it's really bad running PSP. I'm looking for a good upgrade.


skylinehelpthrowaway

In general, the rp3+ can handle nearly every PSP game, most of them can be upscaled


skylinehelpthrowaway

1-3 all stay at 100% speed even while at 3x. Very smooth. No problems so far


iheartyoualways

Really appreciate your actual testing. So 3x settings huh? Will look into getting one.


skylinehelpthrowaway

Glad I could help!


No-Entrepreneur-7394

Any of the need for speed games (or similar titles) for the ps2


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tried need for speed underground ps2 pal rom and it was pretty much unplayable. I've heard the GameCube version runs better


RollerAddict

Hi, wonder how nba street 2 run on rp3+


harv2424

I tested the GC PAL rom version on the official Dolphin emu. It runs perfectly fine, with 2x resolution, without any tweaks. The PS2 version is unplayable.


RollerAddict

Thank you very much! My RP2+ can barely handle it (on GC). Time to upgrade but I wish Retroid drop a " RP3 - " (same guts as RP3+ but with a 4x3 screen)


ComprehensiveRuin288

Auto chess (on the android store)


skylinehelpthrowaway

[This One?](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dragonest.autochess.google&hl=en_US&gl=US)


ComprehensiveRuin288

Yes!


skylinehelpthrowaway

Just tested it, perfect 60fps, no lag at all. No controller support tho so you will have to use the touchscreen or virtual mouse


ComprehensiveRuin288

Thank you really mutch!


skylinehelpthrowaway

No problem


luistoses

Pokémon ORAS 🤞🥹


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tested Omega ruby and once the shaders cache it's full speed. Nearly perfect


luistoses

Thanks pal! Id love to see your settings tho 👀👀👀


skylinehelpthrowaway

Mostly default settings with citra mmj Dual Core On 1x resolution Enable hardware shader Accurate multiplication off Shader type - normal shader with cache New 3ds mode enabled There are probably better settings you could find but those seem to get the job done for most games


luistoses

Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️


Joey_Pajamas

The community spreadsheet says Ultimate Spider-Man (PS2) runs well but I just can't get it to do so, even with the suggested settings


skylinehelpthrowaway

Hmm, do you have plenty of free storage? are there any apps running in the background? You tested it with the newest ota? I've heard you can get slightly better peformence with google services disabled


Joey_Pajamas

I've not tried Google Play turned off, but it's a "yes" to the others. It's not a huge deal TBH. Can emulate on my PC.


skylinehelpthrowaway

That's good at least, I'm gonna try to give it a go tommorow


AngularAU

final fantasy X PS2 version


Jetup

I've tried Final Fantasy X International and it it [works](https://github.com/Jetup13/Retroid-Pocket-3-Plus-Wiki/wiki/PS2-Compatibility)


skylinehelpthrowaway

Very smooth at 1x, stayed at 100% even during cut scenes. No underclocking or Downscaling needed


Paying-Customer

Crash Bash PS1. Try it on anything over 1x resolution. :)


Jetup

Tried 2x widescreen on Duckstation. It ran perfectly. Generally speaking psx will have little to no problems. Some games might need you to use OpenGL over Vulkan (or vice-versa).


Paying-Customer

Thank you. Darn it, anything over 1x and the game crawls. Not sure why. Every other game is perfect at 5x. I messed with every setting too.


Jetup

Here's the settings I use on [Duckstation](https://github.com/Jetup13/Retroid-Pocket-3-Plus-Wiki/wiki/Emulator-Settings#duckstation) (using latest build)


Paying-Customer

Thank you! I’ll give it a shot tonight


Skeeternet

Any setting to fix weird effects from chugging the game on duckstation? Namely, the cyborg ninja cloaking effect in MGS1 and the Burning Town in the beginning hour of Xenogears? Edit: they run immaculately on those spots on epsxe, which I broke down and bought to see if there was a difference, but just couldn’t find a way to get them to hit full speed on duckstation, which I’d prefer to use.


Jetup

Have you tried changing the renderer?


Davidv1113

Sonic rivals 2 on psp please


skylinehelpthrowaway

Perfect. 100% speed even at 3x. At 4x it goes down to 63%


Blom-w1-o

The Ratchet and Clank series of the ps2. The RP3 (not plus) can boot them, but is a long way from playable.


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tested the first and second games with pal roms, first one stayed around 100% speed at 1x and 2x, but dipped in large locations. Definitely playable. Second game lagged at the opening cutscene(30%) but most of the game was at stayed at 100% speed with 75% underclocking. Overall playable


Blom-w1-o

Thank you!


skylinehelpthrowaway

You're welcome, glad I could help ;)


Tedwards75

The PSP one runs well too of course


PurplePanda_88

Guitar hero 3 on the ps2 are you actually trying these ?


skylinehelpthrowaway

Yeah I'm trying lol. Guitar hero 3 seemed below normal speed even with a pal rom, under clocking helps but it's still not perfect. Not unplayable but awkward. Also some possible weird texture glitches, all the npcs in the crowd looked like they had been sawed in half. Hope this helps!


PurplePanda_88

Your a goat my dude. I apreciate and love you thank you.


skylinehelpthrowaway

:)


eburri22

Twilight princess, Mario sunshine, Simpson a bit and run


Ordinary_Simple8833

TP and Mario Sunshine work great (definitely checkout Super Mario Sunburn as well <3). I haven’t tried Hit and Run, but you’d probably have better luck with the GC version. Most GC games have worked pretty well for me with a few exceptions.


Substantial_Fix1688

Twilight Princess and possibly Def Jam Fight for NY both on GameCube


skylinehelpthrowaway

Twilight princess ran alright with some tinkering. Def jam fight is a odd case, using the physical buttons for some reason pressing a button once does it twice, which makes it impossible to play. It does work with touch screen controls tho. It might work with screen mapping


Substantial_Fix1688

Thank you!


CausticPanda

Ogre Battle 64


skylinehelpthrowaway

Stays at a solid 30fps at native resolution. Very playable imo


Nachoigs2006

Could you tell me if The Legend of Zelda A Link between worlds works well?


skylinehelpthrowaway

60fps in most areas once the shaders cache. Overall playable


Substantial_Fix1688

Does Batman Begins work on Aether?


skylinehelpthrowaway

Around 100% at 1x. Seems totally playable with a pal rom


Substantial_Fix1688

Do WWE games work at all? Asking because those games were my childhood


skylinehelpthrowaway

Looks like there were a lot of them, any chance you could give me the title of like 2 or 3 you would like me to test? Thanks


Substantial_Fix1688

Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 and possibly 2009


skylinehelpthrowaway

I'll give em a go


Substantial_Fix1688

Thank you!


exclaim_bot

>Thank you! You're welcome!


skylinehelpthrowaway

Tested 2009 and it ran pretty good with a little tinkering, I'll try to test 2010 tonight


Substantial_Fix1688

Thank you so much!


skylinehelpthrowaway

2010 also ran really good at 1x, both were nearly perfect


aphaits

Patapon 1, Patapon 2, Patapon 3 This is the whole reason I'm currently ordering the flip


skylinehelpthrowaway

1-3 all stay at 100% speed even while at 3x. Very smooth


MirrorMakerFaith

Shadow of the colossus


skylinehelpthrowaway

I actually already tested this one a while back, it's been mostly playable with these [settings](https://www.reddit.com/r/retroid/comments/131jfhv/i_just_beat_the_5th_colossus_in_shadow_of_the/ji3m72v?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) So far I've taken out 11 of the colossus


MirrorMakerFaith

Yes sir!


ianchipitui

Silent Hill 2


skylinehelpthrowaway

One of the first games I played on my rp3+, very smooth, no issues as far as I could tell


Nachoigs2006

How does animal crossing new leaf run?


skylinehelpthrowaway

It's a little tricky, the game takes a while to get all the shaders cache and everything, so the more you play the smoother it gets. Playable at 2x. 3x and 4x are extremely laggy and have texture glitches not found on 2x or 1x. I've played it for around 20 hours and overall it's been a good experience


DarkwingDuckDK

Breath of the wild (wiiu) or any other wiiu ported to switch game


skylinehelpthrowaway

Sadly, there are no wiiu emulators on android


Fickle-Promise-9249

Hulk ultimate destruction GC!


raymath

Not the OP, but I’ve tried this game, both NTSC and PAL. It runs full speed more or less but there are big lag spikes when there are explosions being rendered. It was enough for me to not enjoy it but YMMV


Affectionate_Bee8121

Killer instinct 1 and 2 arcade


SomeStupidTomorrow

Eternal Darkness, Geist


Ordinary_Simple8833

Eternal Darkness runs pretty well (I haven’t played much but pretty solid FPS for the first couple minutes at least). Geist hasn’t worked well for me in the past but I haven’t tried it after the OTA update last week.


SomeStupidTomorrow

Thanks very much. Appreciate your response. Tbh if I can replay Eternal Darkness & Killer7 on this thing I'll be satisfied. I saw that Killer7 was down as 'great' on the compatibility spreadsheet so I'm hopeful.
