Emulation Notes
- AETHERSX2
- And we could not forget to check our some emulators in our AYANEO Pocket ACE review. As we saw when reviewing the AYANEO Pocket S and DMG, the CPU is very capable for emulation. You will have no issues running just about every emulator up to the PS2 era with no worries about performance. Lets take a brief look at a few in action on the AYANEO Pocket ACE.
- AYANEO Pocket ACE AetherSX2
- With the now discontinued AetherSX2 you should not have any issues running compatible games. Depending on how demanding the game is, you can increase the rendering resolution as well as a few graphics tweaks to improve the visuals.
- AYANEO Pocket ACE Citra
- On the Citra emulator, we overall see very good performance. Again depending on the game you can improve the visuals with some upscaling. You may find a few higher demanding games have some initial shader cache lag but not enough to spoil the gameplay.
- AYANEO Pocket ACE Vita3K
- The Vita emulator Vita3K runs very well on the Pocket ACE. For low to medium demanding games you can increase the rendering resolution for some impressive results. The emulator is always improving and we can only expect even faster performance over time.
- AYANEO Pocket ACE YuZu
- With the now discontinued YuZu emulator, and its forks, we see mixed performance. Lower demanding and third party titles are playable and you get some good results. Some performance increases can be made with the Turnip drivers, as well as decreasing the rendering resolution, to get some first party games at playable speeds.
- AYANEO Pocket ACE PPSSPP
