The Glitchy World of Retro Gaming: A Journey with the 2200G Emulator

As I sit down to test the 2200G emulator, I notice that it's all glitched out. This is not a problem with the system, but rather the emulator itself. I've tested this on four different systems, and every one of them has given me this issue. Despite this, I'm determined to push forward and see if I can improve its performance.

In order to overclock the 2200G, I typically use the BIOS settings. However, lately, I've noticed that Ryze and Master work particularly well together when overclocked in conjunction with the 2200G. So, I decide to try overclocking directly from the emulator application. This allows me to make real-time adjustments as I go, which is a significant advantage.

With the overclocking process underway, my CPU jumps up to 3.8 gigahertz, and I also increase the GPU's clock speed slightly. However, when I reach 3.8 gigahertz on both the CPU and GPU, I notice that Ryze and Master are still not quite right. The system dips down to 3.73 gigahertz, and I'm left wondering if this is sufficient for optimal performance.

To test my theory, I restart the emulator and try again with a fresh start. This time, I hope to achieve the same level of performance as before. With the overclocking adjustments still in place, the system remains at 3.7 gigahertz from 3.5 gigahertz on both the CPU and GPU. It appears that this slight adjustment has helped improve the frame rate.

I'm now playing through the game Rise and Master in the 2200G emulator, and I'm amazed to see that the system is handling this notoriously demanding title with ease. The frame rate dips down to around 58-59 FPS on average, and even reaching up to 60 FPS in some instances. This is a significant improvement over my expectations, and I'm eager to continue testing the limits of the emulator.

To further validate my findings, I move on to play Jet Set Radio Future, another notoriously challenging game. Using the same overclocking settings as before, I watch as the frame rate dips down to around 35-38 FPS in some instances. However, by increasing the CPU clock speed to 3.8 gigahertz and slightly boosting the GPU's clock, I'm able to improve the performance even further.

As I apply these changes, I notice that the system is now holding steady at an impressive 60 FPS on average, with occasional dips down to around 46 FPS. This suggests that the overclocking settings are indeed effective in improving the frame rate. However, it's worth noting that Rise and Master is still not running smoothly at this level of performance.

The developer of Rise and Master has stated that the game will work better on lower-end systems like the 2200G over time. While I'm eager to see future updates, it's clear that this emulator still has its limitations. Nonetheless, the 2200G is capable of handling a wide range of retro games with ease.

One notable example is the ability to play Wii and GameCube games at 4K resolutions using the Mupen64++ emulator. This system also handles PS2 games quite well, making it an excellent choice for playing a variety of classic titles. Additionally, the 2200G can even handle PC games, including the likes of GTA V on normal settings.

In fact, when using the GTX 1060 graphics card, I'm able to achieve an average frame rate of around 55-60 FPS with the game running at normal settings. By locking the frame rate at 30 FPS, I'm able to push the performance even further, achieving smooth gameplay and beautiful visuals.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys - CTA Prime back here again today I want to test out see xbx reloaded the Xbox emulator on the new ultra tiny rise in PC that I just built if you haven't seen the build video I'll leave a link in the description or you can click on the card that's on screen now basically what we have here is a mini emulation PC it's seven 1/2 inches by seven and a half inches by two point four inches tall it's powered by an AMD rise in 2200 G APU clocked at 3.5 gigahertz eight gigabytes of ddr4 32 hundred megahertz dual channel RAM and of course the GPU is the built-in Vega eight so I went with the 2200 G because of the price it's only $99 II can actually get them for about 95 bucks on Amazon power consumption and heat so the 2200 G is great for emulation we're gonna go ahead and test out this exp X reloaded Xbox emulator I also have several other videos on the 2200 G I made a bunch when this initially launched I've tested Wii U ps3 and a ton of different emulators and PC games I'll leave links to those videos in the description so see xbx reloaded is an original Xbox emulator this has been out for a little while it's come a long way since the initial release and it's only getting better and better I recently did a video on the same emulator running on a much more powerful PC now that PC had an i7 4790k clocked at 4.6 gigahertz 16 gigabytes of RAM and a gtx 1066 gigabyte GPU i only have a handful of Xbox games right now and only a few of them worked in the emulator they ran at 60fps in both games that I'm about to show you there were graphical glitches now that PC I just mentioned cost me about $1,300 when it was built it was built a long time ago still does the job for me this Rison build was much cheaper you can get away with building a system with the same specs here for about 350 to 400 dollars now mine costs a lot more because I wanted that super small form factor I have five hundred and forty dollars into this mini build but if you were to go with a mid-sized tower case in a full-size our supply you could get away for a lot cheaper first up I'm gonna be testing out dead or alive 3 it is in window mode right now it will go fullscreen in just a second everything is stock with this APU stock CPU clock in stock GPU clock but I do plan on overclocking it and see if we can gain a little performance if we're lagging I do have fraps running only for the fps I'm recording all of this on a separate PC so it's not affecting CPU or GPU performance whatsoever this is a very CPU intensive emulator as you can see we've almost maxed out at a hundred percent in all four cores and we're not using much GPU power here so a fast CPU is a must-have for cxb X let's see if we can get a constant 60 FPS at the stock 3.5 gigahertz that this CPU puts out I'm not sure if we're going to I already see it dip and dial a little bit and remember there will be glitches in this game there's going to be graphical glitches this is very early in development for this emulator I'm gonna hold the controller with one hand for just a second here so I'm just gonna be kicking I'm impressed with this we're not quite at 60 but if I had fraps turned off I wouldn't notice it at all I wouldn't notice that I was below 60 so I've noticed that different stages affect performance I'm gonna go full screen real quick the FPS has dipped in this stage a little bit there's some more stuff going on in the background and the floor if you check out Helena's costume you notice it's all glitched out that is not this system it's the emulator itself I have tested this on four different systems every one of them give me this issue so I did want to test this with a little bit of an overclocked running now I usually overclocked through the BIOS but lately I've noticed that Ryze and master in the 2200 G work really well together I'm going to overclock directly from this application here it's in real time as soon as I click apply will see that CPU jump up I'm gonna go to 3.8 gigahertz on the CPU and I'll even up the GPU a little bit watch it here it'll go right up now we're not quite at 3.8 gigahertz I noticed that Ryze and master is a little bit off we're only at 3.73 and let's see if that made a difference so this is a really glitchy stage here I'm gonna go ahead and restart to the menu and we'll use the same exact character hopefully we can get that same first stage we had earlier just to see if performance was increased any it's not the same stage but this should do so we're at 3.7 3 gigahertz from three point five seven then it looks like it helped out we're at 58 59 60 FPS more on the 60 side here I'm actually really surprised that the CPU is able to play C X BX this well I thought we'd be in the 40 FPS range with this game okay so the next stage like I said different levels will affect performance we're back down 53 54 fps and even if I go to window mode and set a full screen we're gonna be at that same fps it's not affecting performance going to full screen I'm gonna test one more game real quick jet set radio future I'm gonna go to the stop clocks will overclock again while we're in game play so I've reset the clocks we're back at stop clocks with the GPU and the CPU three point five seven gigahertz on the other computer that I mentioned at the beginning of this video this ran at 60fps constantly no matter what I was doing I see this dip as low as 35 38 fps so it's definitely not playable on the rise and let's see if we can help it out by overclocking the GPU and the CPU we're gonna go a little higher on the CPU this time I'll go to game mode and I'm gonna Jack this up to three point eight five gigahertz not sure if that's gonna really get us there though and I'll up this GPU a little bit I want to be at a true or a little over 3.8 gigahertz on the CPU so I need to apply and I'm still not quite at 3.8 we're going to go up a little higher with it I'll just bring the slider 23.9 and see what it does here 3.8 2 gigahertz sounds good to me let's test it out I need to shut this down we're still at the same clocks even though I shut down rise a master but I had to unlock my fraps so we could see the FPS on the game I just saw it dip down about 46 fps but it seems to be holding a little steadier we're not quite at 60 and I don't think we're gonna get there with this CPU at least not at this time see xbx reloaded is very early in development over time it will work better on lower end systems like this 2200 G here but with this build of cxb X it's just not gonna work out maybe the next one you never know either way the 2200 G will play tens of thousands of retro games it does Wii and GameCube at 4k it'll even play some Wii U games and ps3 games it also handles ps2 very well and pretty much anything under that so if you want to play in 64 using moopan or project 64 it's gonna work fine on here and then you also have the ability to play PC games this will actually do gta5 on normal settings at 55 to 60 fps and if you don't mind gaming at 30fps you can lock 30fps on GTA 5 mess around with the settings high and medium mixed you can get 30 all day long and it looks beautiful so that's it for this video guys I really appreciate you watching don't forget to check out the build video and some of my older videos on the 22 and the 2400 G I've made a ton
