Two months later, Asus says the framerate-boosting tech is nigh! There’s also a firmware update that lets you map triggers to back buttons.
AFMF can’t make its fake frames out of nothing; you’ll need a game that already runs at a decent clip to get best results. Here’s the Asus guide on how to use it.

The best free Game Boy Advance emulator for Android is back now its developer is less scared. Pizza Boy’s Davide Berra:
After a few weeks of consideration and after discussing with several people (both in the field and not), I’ve realized that I can’t set aside a passion and effort of so many years. Experimentally, I am trying to revisit the apps to make them available again on the Google Play Store with some renewals. Let’s start with Pizza Boy A Basic and hopefully continue with the others.
The pro version let me turn my Samsung Z Flip into a GBA SP.
Webster already wrote about this, but I’m seriously wowed at how easy it was to turn an iPhone into a retro console for my TV. Once you add a gamepad, everything but joystick-sensitive games (sorry, GoldenEye fans) feels playable!
Delta dev Riley Testut tells me he’s “definitely open” to adding joystick sensitivity adjustment. For now, it uses Apple’s default calibrations.
Speaking of Microsoft hedging bets, it’s been doing that with VR since day one. The original Oculus Rift shipped with an Xbox One gamepad and could stream games from Xbox, while Microsoft simultaneously pursued its HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality initiatives.
Microsoft recently brought Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Xbox Cloud Gaming to Meta Quest, too, perhaps in preparation for today’s announce.
It’s only been dead and buried for three months, and yet Microsoft has already glommed onto a new “we don’t have to make this ourselves, OEMs will do it for us” VR headset initiative. Last time, it was Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung with tethered headsets; this time, it’s Meta, Asus, and Lenovo with Qualcomm-powered wireless ones.
Microsoft sure knows how to hedge its bets!
When Nintendo shut down Super Mario Maker’s servers, it gave players over three years to enjoy and document their own work before the bitter end.
But PlayStation isn’t giving fans time to say goodbye: it’s yanking the rug. Hope you saved a copy of your level locally!
Asus has now extended its warranty, and will even reimburse for damaged cards if you send them (and your handheld) for repair.
But it’s not clear whether the card reader can be repaired — “devices returned from RMA as recently as this month still have the issue,” warns r/ROGAlly moderator duckydan81. I asked Asus if that’s changing; I’ll report back next week.
