Yes, I only saw stutters in bios on switch so far… hence suspicion that its low spec issue. Which is still an issue
Windows 10 x64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
32 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING (driver 565.90)
I tested the same games (Chrono Cross and Fighting Force) with shaders completely disabled, and the stuttering and lag were gone, even during the BIOS animation.
I use a preset by koko-aio-slang as the global shader for all my games in RetroArch - specifically the tv-slotmask-bloom.slangp preset with some additional features disabled (screen curvature, vignetting, etc.).
For testing, I loaded a lighter version of the shader from koko-aio (less scaling and fewer passes) - in Chrono Cross, the stuttering in the menu disappeared; in Fighting Force, stuttering during object destruction remained but was reduced.
I’m not complaining; I’m simply describing my tests and observations. With the full tv-slotmask-bloom.slangp shader preset, I haven’t observed similar issues on other PSX cores on my system, meaning the performance is quite sufficient.

2 games you mention do change video mode… fighting force is emulating shake by changing geometry few pixels back and forth (although proper dev would probably say that its doing ticks variation or something like that). Chrono cross is using high res+60fps in the menu, while it’s normal with 30fps in game
I suspect this could be due to the way we allocate FBO based on geometry of the game rather than the output res. If we use output res then some shader blow out the GPU mem requirements because they need to work with multiple of that FBO thingy
Anyway. No one thinks you’re complaining, your reporting works helps a lot. Same goes to everyone else BTW. Thanks everyone. This is getting harder and harder heh. Not giving up though

I think you’ve done an absolutely amazing job over the past month, transforming a project originally designed exclusively for Linux into a cross-platform solution with extensive configuration options and functionality.
It would be foolish to give up now that we’ve achieved such incredible results. I’m truly impressed by your work!
