I tested OpenBoR engine modules modified by me on different OpenBoR builds written for different systems on PC through experimental emulators and PS3 build was quite disappointing (low frame rate and sound glitches while playing BGM). Even on my current CPU Intel Core i5-4590 on RPCS3 OpenBoR games are sluggy and they have sound glitches while playing BGM (background music), therefore I moved to area that probably no one even tried, I mean try to run my modified game using PS Vita emulator in early stage of development, I mean Vita3k the only one legit PS Vita emulator. Well, results surprised me, I did not expect from alpha stage emulator to play even homebrew games so smooth (I tried Nintendo Switch OpenBoR build on Yuzu as well, but with no success). I have to thank you developers of Vita3k, I tested this game on this emulator because I want to buy actual PS Vita and mod it to play older games on emulators and some homebrew games, and I'm pleased, you did a very nice job so far.

I also made this video for recording test performance using Mirillis Action! and in my opinion results are also very good (no flickering screen), much better than using OBS Studio earlier. Like Alcohol 120% (software for ripping and emulating CD/DVD/BD drives) is IMGBurn and Deamon Tools Lite combined together, that Mirillis Action! (software for capturing and recording videos) is like Fraps (sorry but Bandicam performance is really bad, so I stayed with good old Fraps) and OBS Studio (performance of OBS Studio is better than Fraps, nevertheless I can't remove this flickering screen bug while recording) combined together.

Game that I used for test OpenBoR engine on PS Vita emulator is Streets of Rage 2X made by Kratus/F-Games and edited by me (with Kratus/F-Games permission). Here is link to this game if you want to play it on actual PS Vita using OpenBoR engine: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5f7cirxm0l6rok3/SoR2X_Megamix_v3.0.zip/file, and it is link to OpenBoR engine for PS Vita that I used for test this emulator: https://github.com/rsn8887/openbor/releases/tag/v4704-rsn8887git-1.2. I'm pretty sure it will work flawlessly judging by Vita3k emulator performance, I'm only not sure if this game will work so good on actual PS3 judging by RPCS3 emulator (overall game works good, but with sound glitches during BGM play).
