TL;DR
- A new version of ARMSX2 Refresh fixes a major Vulkan-related crash on devices with Mali GPUs.
- This means MediaTek-powered devices and older Pixel phones should see a speed boost when running PS2 games.
- Another update also offers new resolution-scaling options for low-end Android devices.
ARMSX2 Refresh was released roughly two weeks ago, and the PS2 emulator has seen a steady stream of updates since then. A recent update also brings great news if you’ve got a device with Arm’s Mali graphics.
ARMSX2 Refresh version 2.3.5 was released on GitHub yesterday, and it fixes a major crash on Mali GPUs. More specifically, the emulator would crash on Mali-powered devices when you tried booting a game with the Vulkan renderer enabled.
