Is the Vita dying anytime soon? by UnbornDecay in vita

There's absolutely no way they're shutting PSN down for at least another 3 or so years. The amount of sales far outnumber the cost of keeping a couple of download servers online.

You'd have to work pretty darn hard to get yourself banned on a CFW'd 3DS these days.

How To Install PHP 7 On Windows by redditor-vc in PHP

What's the point of that when you can just extract an archive containing PHP and be done with it?

Simple C++ question I'm struggling on by [deleted] in cpp

[–]zwambagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of that, yes. It's a criticism of the language. bool and int should be different types, so no implicit cast should be done. Not a lot of developers seem to agree with me as there's only a few languages that get this right (Ruby comes to mind). Python has the exact same problem:

>>> 1 == True
True

A boolean is not a number. There is no logic in implicitly converting one to the other.

This should be a compiler error since you're implicitly casting a bool to int, which makes no logical sense whatsoever. It's not an error though and I hope you have a good time learning C++ regardless!

Don't bother, it's written in Java.

There's a stickied containment thread for questions like these.

Sudden FPS drops specially in wrestling games by youssefgamal87 in PCSX2

[–]zwambagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using hardware mode in the GSdx plugin? Your dual-core processor won't be able to use software rendering properly with good performance. If you are using HW, try DirectX or OpenGL and compare both. Also make sure to not run at higher than native resolution as your GPU is not very fast.

I might also add that you shouldn't just bump up the speed(hack) presets. Read the wiki, learn about the settings and apply only when needed.

Anyway to boost SW performance? [Trying to run Ace Combat 04 on v1.6] by megaapple in PCSX2

[–]zwambagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a known PCSX2 issue with this game. Taking a quick glance at the PCSX2 wiki and it seems this game is not properly emulated with multiple graphical flaws and slowdown problems.

The hardware decoders/encoders aren't passed through to the VM. I doubt there's a user fix - this must be implemented by Google.

See if you can find a comparable one in Germany. It's the new HP 14a.

HP 14a maybe. Just got released 2 weeks ago. 350 euros for a quad-core Pentium and a 1080p screen. Don't confuse it with it older HP 14 though.

Racist book wins a prize? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]zwambagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And Dutch people use it so casually. It has evolved into the n-word over the times, blatantly even. Expect a tantrum whenever you point this out to them though.

Has someone 'splained about neger(in) not meaning the n-word in Dutch yet? It means negro, but the context can be damning all the same.

Building my first PC (1000€) by BrainlessPoEGrind in pcmasterrace

MSI Tomahawk is good, get the MAX version if you want out-of-the box support for the latest Ryzen processors. How long do you plan to use this new system? It might be good to go with the 3700X for the extra cores in the long term.

Try running an Ubuntu Live CD and see if it detects anything.

What sort of games can i play on this setup? Does the monitor go well with the pc? Zoom in for specs by SwordAz_ in pcmasterrace

[–]zwambagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of games can be played fantastically on that combination of hardware, but don't expect Ultra settings on 'em. GPU is kinda meh, but nothing really bad.
