To hit 60 FPS, you need to balance raw speed with stability. AetherSX2 (and its successor, ) offers specific underclocking options that can help mid-range devices maintain high frame rates. System Settings:

: If the entire game is running in fast-forward, navigate to AetherSX2's Audio Settings and ensure Synchronize Mode (Bleepsync) is activated to tie game speed to audio processing.

To achieve a true 60 FPS experience, you must apply a .pnach cheat file. This is necessary because the game's internal engine is hard-coded to run at lower frame rates, and simply changing emulator settings won't unlock the cap.

Enable this in System settings to significantly improve performance on multi-core processors. 2. Enabling the 60FPS Patch

Toggle between Vulkan and OpenGL . Vulkan generally performs much better on modern Android devices, especially those with Snapdragon processors. Mali GPUs (found in MediaTek and Exynos chips) sometimes run better on OpenGL.

Look for a 60 FPS patch compatible with your specific game ID (e.g., SLUS-20946 for the US version). Manual Entry: Open the game in AetherSX2/NetherSX2. Tap the Pause/Options menu. Select Patch Codes and then Add Patch .
