Crosshairs are enabled in Flycast

Issues

  • Games run at a very low framerate
    • Try changing the Video Graphics API to Vulkan - Vulkan in general is more performant on lower end hardware
    • Disable VSync - this can cause issues (especially in FMV videos) that causes the game to run at 15FPS
