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

        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
          
          # Set the Arm A76 core frequency (in MHz; default 2400).
          arm_freq=3000
          
          # Set the VideoCore VII core frequency (in MHz; default 800).
          gpu_freq=1000
          

          and I have the following in my cmdline:

          numa=fake=4

          I'm not sure you need this if you use

          sudo rpi-update pulls/6273

                Also, no turbo

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

                # For more options and information see
                # http://rptl.io/configtxt
                # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

                #dtparam=i2s=on
                #dtparam=spi=on
                
                # Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
                dtparam=audio=on
                
                # Additional overlays and parameters are documented
                # /boot/firmware/overlays/README
                
                # Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
                camera_auto_detect=1
                
                # Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays
                display_auto_detect=1
                
                # Automatically load initramfs files, if found
                auto_initramfs=1

                dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
                max_framebuffers=2
                
                # Don't have the firmware create an initial video= setting in cmdline.txt.
                # Use the kernel's default instead.

                # Run as fast as firmware / board allows
                arm_boost=1
                
                # Pi5
                kernel=kernel8.img
                
                [cm4]
                # Enable host mode on the 2711 built-in XHCI USB controller.
                # This line should be removed if the legacy DWC2 controller is required
                # (e.g. for USB device mode) or if USB support is not required.
                otg_mode=1
                
                [all]
                
                # Tell the DVFS algorithm to increase voltage by this amount (in µV; default 0).
                # IMPORTANT: See note below
                over_voltage_delta=50000
                
                # Set the Arm A76 core frequency (in MHz; default 2400).
                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?

                  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.
