PS2Shadow of the ColossusNetherSX2 Classic at 2× was close to playable in one review. A separate native-resolution cinematic looks smooth, but its emulator is unconfirmed and boss-fight performance was not shown.Pocket Duo
PS2Auto ModellistaAuto Modellista shows a nominal 60 fps counter but is not consistently smooth in the Lite ARMSX2 test. The reviewer reports slowdown and about 50 fps near the finish; the initial setup is 1×.Pocket Duo Lite
PS2Shrek 2Shrek 2 is close to full speed but choppy on Lite. The reviewer tries EE cycle skip and cycle-rate changes, then says the result may be worse. No reliable underclock fix was found.Pocket Duo Lite
PS2Twisted Metal: BlackTwisted Metal: Black varies sharply in the Lite ARMSX2 test: the reviewer describes roughly half speed in busy scenes and full speed in emptier areas. They repeat 1× resolution and disabled hardware downloads. Shrek 2’s earlier EE cycle changes may still have applied.Pocket Duo Lite
