What if the settings provided don't work well for me?

The settings here are a great starting point, but performance can vary based on your specific hardware and driver versions. Use these as a baseline and feel free to tweak them. For example, try lowering the internal resolution first if you experience slowdowns.

Why isn't a specific game on this list?

Our database is constantly growing! If a game is missing, it's likely because we haven't found a stable, widely-tested configuration for it yet. Check back later, as we're always adding new entries.

Can these settings harm my computer?

No. The settings listed only affect the emulator's performance and visuals. They do not change any core system files on your computer or mobile device. At worst, a bad setting might cause the emulator to crash, but it won't harm your hardware.

What does 'Internal Resolution' mean?

This setting determines the resolution at which the game is rendered internally by the emulator, before being scaled to your screen. Higher values (like 3x or 4x Native) result in much sharper, clearer graphics but require a more powerful GPU.

What is the difference between Vulkan, OpenGL, and DirectX?

These are different graphics 'backends' or APIs that the emulator uses to talk to your graphics card. Vulkan is the most modern and often provides the best performance on supported hardware (most modern GPUs). OpenGL has great compatibility, while DirectX is a Windows-specific option. It's often best to try Vulkan first.

Pro Tips for Optimal Performance

Go beyond the settings with these expert recommendations.

Update Your Drivers

Ensure your graphics card drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) are up to date. This is often the single most effective way to boost performance and fix graphical glitches.

Emulator Version Matters

Always use the latest stable or nightly build of your chosen emulator. Developers are constantly making improvements that can significantly enhance performance and compatibility.

Background Processes

Close unnecessary applications running in the background (like web browsers with many tabs) to free up CPU and RAM resources for the emulator.
