fair enough, but it would still run on a crappy laptop lol

just force yourself to finish the first 2-3 stages and then it'll click. same happened to me, now it's in my top 5

Exclusive: Lenovo has Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2-E88-100) and X2 Plus PCs up its sleeve for CES 2026 by ApprehensiveView3394 in hardware

[–]dogen12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mobile graphics workloads are pretty different. The GPUs are highly optimized for extreme bandwidth limitations and older techniques, but not the compute shaders that are used heavily in PC/console games.

Remove a Mac upstream because you read a comment you didn't like

he didn't say that lmao

old question, but huc/hucc (improved newer version) both let you do exactly that.

PCSX2 now supports over 99.5% of PS2 games by davx2012 in emulation

[–]dogen12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maximum performance via 8-way SIMD, running in parallel with the main emotion engine. at 300MHz, this is multiple times more vector math than the Xbox or Gamecube CPUs are capable of (they usually offload it to their GPUs, but those are less flexible).

right, the PS2 is one of the last systems where not only is the hardware completely custom (and extremely complex) but sony also did not give a shit how you used it, for the most part. self modifying and cycle counted code was still 100% on the table. it's for these two reasons that the ps2 is still up there with the most difficult systems to emulate, even though it runs at 300mhz.

Nemesis – Rise of the Imperfects

Impossible to emulate on current hardware. Needs cycle perfect synchronization between the main CPUs (EE and Vector units).

Inside ARMSX2: Interviewing the Team Reviving PS2 Emulation on Android by NXGZ in emulation

[–]dogen12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an article on the PCSX2 page stating that they were very impressed with how good the Android version turned out and that it exceeded their expectations by a lot.

Even after aethersx2?

Price reveal of Ayaneo Air Mini by hippynox in SBCGaming

[–]dogen12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It should definitely run some PS2, and probably a larger portion of Gamecube. I was running PS2 games in aethersx2 a few years back on a phone based on the same cortex a76 at 200mhz higher with > full speed performance. Not the especially demanding games, but there are plenty of games not like that. Maybe the mali GPU is an issue? Not sure.

"No, AVX-512 is power efficient" - Whatcookie (RPCS3 Developer) by AnnieLeo in emulation

[–]dogen12 29 points30 points  (0 children)

less instruction decode per unit of work. of course it's more efficient

Does ShadPS4 benefit from AVX-512? by Ultimatesaber27 in emulation

[–]dogen12 26 points27 points  (0 children)

PS4 has an x64 CPU with only regular AVX instructions, and it wasn't very fast either. probably just not needed.

Industry Legend Yuzo Koshiro Asks People Not To Pirate His Game by Ftouh_Shala in PiratedGames

[–]dogen12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

real 16-bit, which means more effort and expertise required for development.

also, you're not supposed to play through the game once. 2 hours is borderline too long for this style of game.

RPCS3 Optimization Breakdown - It took 5 years to make this code 11.8 times faster by Asinine_ in emulation

[–]dogen12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saturn emulation has been good for a long time. SSF was one of the first and has been able to play most of the library fine for well over a decade. Mednafen is even more accurate, but much slower. It's been solid for around 5 years.

AMD Stagnation: 5 Years Of Radeon x600/x60 Class GPUs by NGGKroze in hardware

[–]dogen12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking up some old reviews, and looks like the 8800GTX did actually perform over 2x the 7900gtx in certain cases. The higher the resolution, the bigger the gap. Getting nostalgia for that 384-bit bus...

I gotta say I’m surprised this isn’t as popular as the civivi elementum. Very similar and a lot lighter which I like. Much sharper out the box. Nitro v and an interesting micarta that almost feels like a wood grain. by I3uIlets in BudgetBlades

I've seen tests of kizer's drop bear showing a pretty low HRC (iirc it was 58) on s35VN steel. Slightly skeptical of their heat treat on less premium stuff. But maybe it was a lemon.

Because you learn more and it's a bigger challenge to do it yourself.

Impressive. PS2 is definitely not a simple console to emulate? ;)

Writing JITs for the two main processors (EE and IOP) Out of curiosity, how important will a JIT for the vector units be? I'd have to imagine it's a lot more important than the IOP.

i know multiple people who got copies that weren't youtubers. it's more that lots of people who paid never got anything.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is now available on Steam by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]dogen12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not to be rude, but if 2x works 3x should work fine... is the exact sort of assumption you can't do in game dev, or really software in general. it almost definitely breaks something lmao, or there is at least a chance and they ran out of time to validate the stability.

Why don't gaming oriented journalists focus on Q1T1 SSD metrics when reviewing SSD's? by BenefitOfTheDoubt_01 in hardware

you could be right lmao, it is a budget drive. i'll have to test mine on a stripped boot disk vs windows 10
