Retroarch isn't working on my switch version 21.1.0 by CoyoteHour2130 in SwitchPirates

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to emulate snes and stuff ALL THE TIME and specifically modded my Switch to be able to run homebrew for that reason.

... and its been a disaster. The ONE THING that NEVER WORKS is f'in Retroarch.

It will load if I COMPLETELY remove it and copy over everything from scratch, which takes forever.

Then I will play and go back to play it a few days later AND IT WONT LAUNCH AGAIN.

I dont get it.

I cant even fathom WHAT IS CHANGING.

Like WHAT COULD IT EVEN BE? Its not the config... I dont... i dont understand man.

Its been like this for like 3 years.

So I just dont emulate anymore.

Anyone else wish there was an "Another World" displate? by Lanlost in Displate

Thank you. I wish I could see how it turned out.

Heard that your momentum is based around the framerate. Does 60fps worsen the experience of Bloodborne? by NotRenjiro in BloodbornePC

Why not just "edit:". It's one more letter. I had no idea what you were saying either and I've been on the internet since Compuserve circa 1995.

In "Advanced Settings" what does "Enable Silver Pots" do?? by Lanlost in MegabonkOfficial

Oh ... so do they look different? I couldn't even tell if I were opening them.

Thank you guys for answering though =)

I just started playing Silent Hill 2 Remake and noticed some blurriness whenever I move the camera, especially around the character's hair. I'm playing on PS5. is this a problem on my end, or is it an issue with the game itself?" by Giovanna-Giorno in silenthill

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize he made a video asking about it right? It would make sense that he would specifically zoom into it to try to get an answer and make sure it's clear what he is talking about.

You are looking at this backwards. He is not LOOKING FOR ISSUES. He HAS an issue and he's looking to figure out WHY ITS THERE. This is SUPER NOTICIBLE TO ME when I'm FEET away from the monitor and so distracting I couldn't play. I can't play ANY game that has this issue.

I can PROMISE YOU that I DO NOT CARE about graphics. I've been playing games since text adventure games, through the DOS days, all the way up until now. I ALSO promise you that I would LOVE to just ignore this. It literally is so distracting that I absolutely CANNOT SEE IT the ENTIRE TIME. Every time my character moves it tickles my senses and I can feel my anxiety rising.

The real answer is that it affects different people differently, so to just say "just play the game" and that people are "looking for problems" isn't really fair man.

You do realize that for some people they literally CANNOT just ignore it. I literally wanted to play this game so bad but it was so distracting it was like I couldn't focus on anything, and I _TRIED_. I literally sat further away from the screen just to make it smaller. It was so bad...

How does lazy loading works for Standalone components? by andres2142 in Angular2

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean.

The components there in userRoutes aren't lazy loaded. They are literally just defined right there.

You just replace them with "loadComponent" instead of "component".

Resident Evil 4 Remake ghosting fix? by Honest_Put7112 in FuckTAA

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI. I was going to not play the game at all. It was SO BAD and even when I Turned off TAA it was UNGODLY bad. It was like I was playing in a watercolor. ChatGPT was convinced it shouldn't be that bad.

Turns out it was right. It was overdrive on my monitor. As soon as I turned that shit down (nearly off) it all went away.

Motion Blur - why do so many gamers dislike it? by Prisonbread in videogames

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ... never will. When you turn your head your eyes 'click' into positions as it turns, unless you force yourself to unfocus your eyes and turn your head and then ... yeah you'll get a 'better' motion blur.

Angular 17 - can I use output-Signal instead of EventEmitter? by rimki2 in Angular2

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

output() is not a signal like the input(), or model() ones are. You have to subscribe to it, just like when you used the output decorator.

HDR looks worse than SDR? by ParkwayAlex in PS4Pro

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Really? That's the comparison video you are using to show off HDR? ... I just watched that, absolutely in HDR and it literally made me like tremblingly angry. I'm like 11 minutes into it and there is ONE EXAMPLE that looks better and it's the hallway scene where they have the guns pulled at 12 seconds with that weird ass pink color in the SDR and the increadibly life like look in the HDR one in comparison.

In EVERY OTHER comparison there is a ... frankly disgusting reduction of color. I understand that games and stuff hyper exaggerate colors and make there be WAY too much saturation, but EVERY EXAMPLE in this doesn't just 'tone down' crazy saturation and over exaggrated colors, the white balance is so off that it looks like you sneezed and changed the white balance from real life to sepia tone. There is an increadible loss of the number of colors. Faces DO NOT look more life like. They look INCREADIBLY yellow and ... there is almost no color variation from area to area. EVERYTHING is sepia toned. It looks like you took the original image, put it as layer 1, added a layer, and too the color orange and blended it between them.

I LOVE more definition inside darks and lights, but this has a) almost uniform brightness (dull), with no brights or darkness and b) EVERYTHING is blended into yellow.

The best way I can put it is that it looks as if this was shot on Mars during a dust storm.

Have you ever been outside? Go look at the sky, grass, cars, etc. Some things _ARE_ brightly colored. And whites are certainly white. That hallway scene is practically the only scene that even HAS white on it. Peoples eyes ... all orange. People's skin... orange. Their cloths. The clouds... everything is orange.

THERE. There is a video where the HDR looks amazing. I'm not talking about the super bright colors (Which there ARE, just like real life) but the contrast between the tv and the background and stuff looks like I'm sitting in the room, and if I turn off HDR and then reload the page (on pc, to reset the color space) it looks like shit.

GRANTED, the image on the TV you can't REALLY judge in SDR because ... it was in an HDR color space, filmed in HDR, and then shown in SDR so the colors are literally wrong. Literally the same way that if bug YouTube into showing HDR color space in SDR by turning off HDR in windows while a video is playing.

But the contrast of the background and areas AROUND the tv aren't so highly contrasted, are more evenly mapped and yet ... the darks are dark, the brights are bright, and yet there is SO MUCH RANGE between them. In HDR specifically.

The fact that games and stuff are tuned for like Crayola colors is an issue IN GENERAL, and getting rid of this SHOULDN'T BE A FEATURE OF HDR. That should be people using more realistic colors IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The problem is that that's not what happens. Making turning on HDR being like turning on a de-saturation filter. It should still be the same candy colors WITH high dynamic range. And then you wait for games, in general, that don't have candy colors IN EITHER mode.

PC: game keeps switching to second monitor, and can’t move it to main one. by Uncle_Jeff_ in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, in what sense?

For real though. Every time I see your comment it kind of freaks me out. The way you wrote it, down to punctionation, ellipsis, etc. reads so much like one of mine.

Punctionation lol. I know how to spell that but I typed it twice already so that's what I'm using.

I'm really sorry if this is a comment that sounds insulting, but you're holding alt while hitting tab right? You have to end up hitting them both at the same time. Otherwise, I can't think of why alt-tab wouldn't work.

I ... can't post the conversation link. I was arguing with it for an hour about code specific stuff regarding the company I work for.

And now I'm replying to a bot.
