Back in April, changes were made to the gpsp retroarch core which fixed dynarec for ARM processors. This means that gpsp no longer crashes when dynarec is enabled. On a new 3DS, most GBA games are now playable at 60 FPS. I like VC injects, and up until now I had most of my favorite GBA games prepared that way. I like emulation more. I appreciate the slight smoothing done to the image as it is resized up to fill the 3DS screen. I like the 3DS going in to sleep mode when I shut the lid. I like being able to save state and exit my game immediately if my daughter is asking me to hand the 3DS over so she can play tomodachi.
I would like to get a list rolling of games that currently do not run ideally in gpsp, and are still best played as VC injects. Here's what I've got so far:
Car Battler Joe - Runs without crashing, but the shadows under your character's feet are distractingly inaccurate
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga - Game freezes
Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age - Game spontaneously reboots during intro
Mario Golf: Advance Tour - Game spontaneously reboots at character creation
River City Ransom DX - Arm11 crash during opening sequence after starting new game
Special case:
Final Fantasy VI Advance patched - I use the sound restoration patch, the color restoration patch, and a handful of bugfix patches whenever I play this game. The patched game has an Arm11 crash that is not present in the base ROM.
