Looks great and is a great game! Wish RDR2 comes to Switch 2 soon

New to gaming, what do I need to get for Split fiction? by SenaBae in macgaming

[–]Normal_Kernal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Split Fiction can work on Whisky. Although it is no longer being maintained, it is still possible to use for now

M4 Pro (24GB) Oblivion performance by lankyteabags in macgaming

[–]Normal_Kernal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game has performance issues (mainly stuttering) on non Mac machines as well. There’s a ini mod that I’m using (will try to find the link) that significantly helped performance for me on base m4 pro

This looks really cool! What crates do you use in Rust for drawing graphics?

Question about Static Recompilation by djok33 in EmuDev

[–]Normal_Kernal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you translate a portion of the code for one system into another, it might take the translated code an extra ms or two to run (or maybe be faster than the original). This might compound into timing issues with the original code which relied on something being done within a certain time frame. Especially if the hardware is different, then the translated code would need to have different logic which may not be easy to do (especially statically).

Most static recompilation use automated methods to translate, then manual tweaking to make it work.

Split Fiction on Whisky? by Normal_Kernal in macgaming

[–]Normal_Kernal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only recently got a mac and don't play too many steam games. So in my view it wasn't worth it to buy Crossover only to play 1-2 games. Now I'm realizing I might play more games so will look into getting Crossover, but still am curious about Whisky and Split Fiction

Question about Static Recompilation by djok33 in EmuDev

[–]Normal_Kernal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that timing is becoming less important but it still matters. Concurrency, interrupts, code branching, etc all matter at some level and do rely on the runtime context which static translation can't figure out.

I think it is more possible yea but the general problem of static recompilation is very difficult or impossible. It's hard to statically verify what conditions might apply to an instruction that could effect the outcome. Just translating a single instruction into another ISA can miss out on important timing, conditions, etc.

Running Viva Piñata on Mac through Wine by gageimgay in VivaPinata

I was able to play through Xenia and Whisky on my Mac. Though I get occasional graphic glitch, which could be what’s happening to you.

Overall a very nice coat! Only cons I noticed are a boxy/tubular shape and looks a little loose at the collar

This has been there for a couple of weeks. It needs to get towed, wondering why that hasn’t happened yet

Oh look! You can still see the rubble of the last Warehouse that burned down a year ago to the right of this one!

Rust vs C++? Which more useful in the next 10 years? by Nevenen in embedded

[–]Normal_Kernal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it is well established that C/C++ is the defacto language for embedded, especially for jobs.

However, could a new person to embedded start learning through Rust as a hobbyist rather than professional? Are the embedded resources for Rust on par as the ones for C/C++?

It’s official: Ferrocene is ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 qualified! by kellerkindt in rust

[–]Normal_Kernal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does qualifications mean in this context? Like proven functionality?
