Pcsx-rearmed dynarec aarch64

[Massarino]

Hi everyone,

I posted a few months ago in the Lakka forum and have continued to trawl the forums to see if anyone can satisfy my curiosity.

RPi4.arm vs. RPi4.aarch64 nightly builds

Hi all, I’ve also been comparing 32 vs 64 bit on my Raspberry Pi 3 and have noticed, as mentioned earlier in this thread, that pcsx-rearmed performs much better with 32-bit. I understand that that dynarec is unavailable in the aarch64 image. Will this be available in future 64-bit releases or are there issues that make this difficult to implement? Thanks!

It seems that pcsx-rearmed performs much better with 32-bit. I am using a Rpi3.

I understand that that dynarec is unavailable in the aarch64 Lakka image. Is this planned future 64-bit releases or are there issues that make this difficult to implement? Is it a core issue or a Lakka issue or a something else issue!

The 32-bit version runs great but I love to try out new things and couldn’t resist giving the 64-bit version a spin on a spare SD card.

Genuinely curious,

Thanks,

Massarino

From what I gather, it is highly unlikely that there is developer interest in working on a new dynarec for pcsx-rearmed. It seems to have a lot of issues (and has had them for a very long time) and also there are better emulators (notably duckstation) that work very well on aarch64.

Of course this is not certain but it will probably stay as a 32 bit arm specialist core.

Thanks for giving me a better understanding of the current situation. I’ll certainly give Duckstation a try. Much appreciated. Cheers!
