      This one

      sudo rpi-update pulls/6273
      

      I think you must have a Pi5 8GB . Not lower than that

      Good games for a test are:
      Wild Riders on Naomi 2 (lr-flycast-dev) with Vulkan
      Good of War (sound quality upgrade) on PS2 (Aethersx2) with Vulkan
      Maybe also F-Zero on GameCube

      Good to know on the 8gb tip. I don't think I had seen anyone mention that. I'll grab my 8gb Pi 5 and try it now. Any idea why it doesn't work on the 4gb version?

      Did you notice any performance increase of God of War? I have mine with the following settings:
      EE Rate - 50%
      EE Skip - Max
      Max Frame Latency: 3.
      Bilinear Filtering: Nearest.
      Blending Accuracy: Minimum.
      CPU Framebuffer: On
      Mipmapping Off
      Trilinear Off
      Disable Depth Support ON

      And that makes it run pretty good on a 4gb Pi 5

        It's a shame that it doesn't. Means a lot of people are not going to be able to use it.
        Me including.
        Not going to spend more money just for a speed boost. Lol

          It works on a Pi5 4GB but not on a Pi4 4GB. I wrote a mistake. I rewrote my previous post.

          I didn’t test It on a Pi5 4GB but they say It gives a good boost. For Pi4 4GB , it’s a mess

            @DTEAM ahh. Ok
            Thanks for cleaning that up.
            Happy gaming

              Trilinear: Automatic
              Disable Depth Support (I don't see where it is)

              I didn't try CRC Fix Level to agressive for that game, I did that only for Okami (maybe It could be good for God of War)

              I use NUMA and my Pi5 is overvlocked. God of War run very fast and well with that setup

                That's all great info. Thanks! And what overclock settings are you using and have you found that to have any other issues with other emulator cores?

                Also, just to confirm are you on a Pi 5 4gb or 8gb? I have both but just wanting to match what you're doing.

                  So that's what I just did. Did you still have to add numa=fake=4 to your cmdline.txt?

                    I'm using the following overclock in my config.txt:
                    arm_freq=3000
                    gpu_freq=1000
                    force_turbo=1

                    and I have the following in my cmdline:
                    numa=fake=4

                    And I'm seeing no improvement at all with God of War using your aethersx2 settings. Just trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong here.

                      I'm not sure you need this if you use

                            And here is my cmdline:

                            console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5ecf2855-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=US
                            

                            And I'm not seeing any real improvement with anything. I just loaded up God of War and also Radiata Stories and they are both still running sluggish. Any ideas?

                                Strange? Maybe the Bios or the rom

                                I'm not sure. Everything else seems to be working fine. I would have thought that the NUMA and/or Overclock would have been more of a global thing and I would have seen improvement across the board, but it doesn't look like I am.

                                  Do I still need this in my config?

                                  arm_boost=1

                                  or should I remove that ?

                                    @DTEAM So this is interesting. I put the comments for the overclock in a different position in my config. I put them above the [cm4] section and now it's been doing this:
                                    462536830_3951852665060338_7715060663923330681_n.jpg
                                    is this normal?

                                      @DTEAM Well, this is interesting...

                                      I went and grabbed my 8gb board with the same SD card not working in the 4gb board and guess what... it works just fine! and I can even see that the overclock is working...
                                      462610091_1051807483083111_4712168423502494687_n.jpg
                                      So then I went and grabbed a newer 4gb board that I had not opened yet, and it works just fine, too!

                                      The Pi 5 4gb board I was initially using was one of the very first boards that came out so I wonder if maybe the newer boards just work better with the overclock and NUMA?

                                      Oddly enough I'm still not seeing much of a performance boost with any PS2 games yet. Any chance you can post a video of how God of War is playing on your system?

                                        Here's my config.txt file . I'm on a small touchscreen and I use a USB port for my audio.

                                        Here's my SD card. Maybe it's this. I got a super fast one.

                                            @Retrodade maybe, i would not hold my breath, since last update on that was 13 years ago. it might not work on 64bit, unless you already tried and got it workling.
