Do you know if you're using updated Adreno GPU drivers, or the ones that come with KitKat? We've encountered problems on Lollipop that appear limited to Adreno so probably driver related, and they're related to texture update (16-bit gets around it)

It's also possible that it's an issue which doesn't happen with a different ROM, either because of some compatibility issue (although I have no idea what would be different between them) or because the ROM is just broken or corrupt.
For me, turning off "ignore gamecard limit" fixed the said problem. I don't know what that option does anyways. Should have left it alone. :P

Yeah, that makes sense.

What that option does is makes it so that the gamecard accesses don't wrap around based on the gamecard size in the ROM header. This is needed for some ROM hacks that make the game larger than what this value says. But other games use the wrap around to check for older flashcarts and they fail. That's probably what happened for you.

If anyone else has that option on turn it off.

Yeah i am...this would explain y 16 bit rendering just works (and there isnt much of a colour difference, so i can live with it)

I updated the beta today (build 62), could you please test if that fixes the performance issues for you when using 32-bit rendering?

can't vouch for others but in my case, with a device running lollipop with an adreno chip, pokemon black 2 wouldn't even start in build 61 but build 62 seems to be fine so far. thanks.
