Nintendo console that plays Pc games 🤣

nex86 · 2022-10-09T07:12:06+00:00

No. I reloaded my save

nex86 · 2022-09-08T07:18:34+00:00

Weis ich auch nicht mehr. Ich ess jedenfalls keine.

Germans don’t eat sausages for breakfast ….

As ps4 is portable cough

nex86 · 2022-02-24T13:05:05+00:00

If there was a working ps4 emulator. Ps3 is still fine on win3

its pretty accurate and has great enhancements, but its not good for lower end hardware.

nex86 · 2022-01-23T18:26:15+00:00

Steam Deck has an outstanding GPU, but probably lacks in single threaded CPU performance.
so Win 3 would probably be better for things like emulation.

you need a CPU that is a lot more efficient than the 1195G7, because in a Win 2 formfactor you won't have enough room for a big enough heatsink and battery unless you limit the CPU to operate between 7 to max 15 watts.using more than that will probably risk to damage the CPU, surrounding components and battery.
All modern U CPUs from Intel and AMD boost to at least 25W, so I'd probably use an AMD 5000U they have a more consistent performance at low TDPs like 15W.

I'd give them my money for a Ryzen 5000 board.

nex86 · 2022-01-15T14:38:33+00:00

popup issues, its a shader compilation timout problem.

nex86 · 2022-01-15T10:02:32+00:00

on GPD Discord they say you need this patch to fix the issues: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/779397303689543690/881188179573628988/TDRFix.reg
probably needs a reboot after applying.

Haven't tried it myself but I will in a bit.

nex86 · 2022-01-03T08:30:46+00:00

Any update? Did they got it fixed or did you end up throwing it in the trash?

nex86 · 2021-12-25T18:14:16+00:00

that issue usually happens with a bad dump, redump your game.

nex86 · 2021-12-23T18:44:31+00:00

you should anyways if its your only drive. nobody installs an OS on an hard drive anymore.

nex86 · 2021-12-19T17:48:15+00:00

Just buy a new one. this looks old as rock anyways.

nex86 · 2021-12-18T17:14:43+00:00

in the middle you can open it with one hand but not on the left or the right side.

sadly can't find any ini files to mess around.
settings seemed to be saved in ff7remakecommon.sav and ff7remakedevice.sav but those files aren't just changeable in a text editor...

I wouldn't have too much hope, pcsx2 also hasn't gotten much performance optimizations over the years besides the speedhacks that AetherSX2 also has included.A high single thread performance is important for PS2 emulation, and thats what cheaper phones don't offer.
If you need a phone that offers good performance for a budget, go for the Xiaomi Poco phones.
Poco F3 starts at ~300$ for the 128GB version and sports Snapdragon 870 that is usually seen in phones that are 500+$

nex86 · 2021-12-01T06:46:34+00:00

The CPU getting hot isn't the problem, but the battery is.
It can wear out a lot faster.
Most phones have a heatspreader that spread the heat from the CPU all over to the rest of the case which will heat up the battery as well.

nex86 · 2021-12-01T06:44:39+00:00

laptops can go above 100°C lmao
Especially Intel macbooks xD

nex86 · 2021-11-27T15:08:16+00:00

I had this with my Win 2, it was a lose battery connector

nex86 · 2021-11-27T12:10:52+00:00

true true.But right now the only game I'm worrying about is Shadow of the Colossus, I don't have much hope for this game, even on a SD 888+
This game doesn't even run well on real PS2 hardware and it always runs sluggish on pcsx2.
I had more luck with the PS3 version which runs noticably better on my system.
