I hate discord a lot, but this feature kinda destroys the reason discord exists. We used to have irc which is direct communication and needs both systems to be online ( yes, bouncers exist, but they arent perfect ). We moved away from irc so systems didnt need to be online and it was all in the cloud. Direct communication/file sharing from pc would kinda revert all that lol

( lets gooooo, bring irc back :p )

Oh nice, didnt know that. Thanks for the info!

Now, if proton could be used outside if steam…

No way to extract what the launcher does and use it as launch options in whatever youre using to launch the game?

Thats an excuse of an argument and you know it. Things like yuzu and cemu had no reason to turn a profit like they did for what they had. The devs were fine and yet they did what they did. And on the other end of the spectrum there are homebrew devs that need money ( and i donate to ) but dont sell their stuff because its better free.

I never tried to make a profit out of priiloader or any of my successful free projects either, despite wanting more money sometimes.

There is a difference between a product and a project.

This.
Let alone those tools can be used from within nintendo, and have been in the past.
As somebody who helps manage a part of homebrew tools, im totally fine with that. Means they did something right and it means nintendo wont just shut it down and believes it is useful too. So good job on you then!

Now if they used some ip, or copyrighted code, in the tools, then its game over. Instantly.

Everything after w7, id agree. Windows 7 was actually legit. It ran fine on my amd athlon with 512MB ram. Ran dolphin back in the day too. Now after that it was all shite

Except he is. He lives in portland now afaik

Yes, but in reviews the handbrake benchmarks didnt even get close to the 40% amd claimed

Youre confusing comparison of os’ with hardware reviews. It makes no sense to use an arch benchmark for a public is majority windows based gamers. The arch benchmark would make sense for a journalistic piece about windows having terrible performance.
Hence why id love for gamers nexus to investigate this using a linux to windows comparison for the same task. However, this would no longer have anything to do with zen5

But the numbers would mean nothing for the consumers. You abstract away too much and reduce it too far for anyone outside the loop to make sense

This is… Interesting. I would love for gamers nexus to investigate this tbh. Means something is horribly wrong in windows ( shown by the wtf steps reviewers had to go through ).
Im also curious at the performance uplift of zen5 in linux in regard of handbrake. Amd claimed a 40% uplift there which i guess might have been in linux and with a very specific clip?

Ah, you meant original release date of the amd cpus.
Ye, makes sense.
I personally think they wanted to verify to have no issues in their cpu’s because intel is kinda euh… In a very bad state atm haha. You dont want to be part of that right now xD

… You just contradicted yourself there with the timeline/dates lol.
Wait for intel patch, but release date of cpus is before the expected release date of the microcode patch.

Yes, the serial port, bba and memory card all share the exi bus, so from a software standpoint they can all be communicated with via the same bus interface ( but hardware commands/communication is hardware specific ofc ) For more info :
https://hitmen.c02.at/files/yagcd/yagcd/chap10.html and https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Hardware/External_Interface

Exactly. Thats why i made the pcb design for the connector, everything is measured out and the pinout is written out too.
It also is connected to the exi bus, which is shared with the memory cards…
Makes no sense tbh

I… Dont know why this exists.
Ive been aware of a few ethernet projects for gamecube and none of them makes sense to me.
All of them use a custom chip/interface and require special code in software.
On top of that, none of them have merged the code into libogc (the open source gamecube homebrew library i help maintain ).
If i were to make a project like this, i’d use a mcu ( pi zero? ) together with a ethernet controller. The mcu would expose the same interface the official bba would, so even games could use it out of the box.
I even made a pcb design for extrems so he had the pcb pinouts just like the official bba to work sonething out of.

But hey, what do i know, right?

Swiss is a homebrew backup launcher for gamecube :)

It all depends on your needs tbh. I personally think the framework mobo is perfect for a powerful 24/7 server. Smb, router, media center, …

I personally dont need something like that and just have an sbc running pihole and smb 24/7 ( +/- 8w@230v power usage )

Still overkill and uses way to much power. Now, as a server that just happens to also be a retroconsole… :')
