        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

        Mine:
        EE Rate - 100%
        EE Skip - Max Underclock
        Affinity Control Mode : VU>GS>EE
        Max Frame Latency: 2.
        Bilinear Filtering: Bilinear (PS2).
        Blending Accuracy: Basic .
        Skip Presenting Duplicate Frames (on)
        Audio: Interpolation Mode : Gaussian
        CPU Framebuffer: On
        Mipmapping: Automatic
        Anisotropic : Off
        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.

            This one

            sudo rpi-update pulls/6273
            

            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.

                My overclock settings

                # Tell the DVFS algorithm to increase voltage by this amount (in µV; default 0).
                # IMPORTANT: See note below
                over_voltage_delta=50000

                I'm not sure you need this if you use

                      So this is what I have in my config.txt:

                      # For more options and information see

                      otg_mode=1
                      
                      [all]
                      
                      # Tell the DVFS algorithm to increase voltage by this amount (in µV; default 0).

                      arm_freq=3000
                      
                      # Set the VideoCore VII core frequency (in MHz; default 800).
                      gpu_freq=1000
                      

                      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?

                          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.

                                  https://pastebin.com/W1RqfXAB

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