Quoting: dpanter
Quoting: elmapulemulating wii? i doubt i can do that... its an i5/hd4000 indeed but an weak one...
Then this video should be enlightening. :)

CPU at 2.40GHz
mine have 1.7Ghz >.>
gonna try anyway

ok, i tried the begining of the game...
it works until it doesnt.

it had a few moments in the cutscene where it stoped for a few seconds but resumed, then i tried to play a bit, it had an anoying horizontal line at the end of the screen, other than that seems to work fine, i killed 3 ganados and when i was about to kill the 4, it crashed, simply stoped and didnt resumed.
i will try the gamecube version instead.

No true next-gen Steam Deck for 'a few years' Valve say

i dont know where to post it, so it will be here:

according to vg charts:
ps1 has 2706 games.
ps2 has 3565 games
ps3 has 1904 games.
if you pick the ps3 model wich had backward compatibility, then the full catalog of PS3 at the end of the generation was 8175 titles.

Steam deck currently have 8147 (verified+playable) with an average of 20~26 games beind added each day.
in other words, in just a few days, it will be the platform with most games, even if we only count the games that received some form of Q/A!

SD already have more games than any Nintendo console, all sega consoles combined and Xbox Series (including an total backward comp with xbox, xbox 360, and xbox one), ps3 was the only one left!

now aside from mobile (where most game suck anyway) and old pcs that are hard to count the number of games (eg: pc98) linux is the thirdy platform with most games with some form of curation / QA.
and, if we count total games on steam it should soon surpass mac too.

if we count all games and not just verified+playable it do have more games than mac already (at least on steam)

as for consoles, keep in mind that vgcharts isnt perfect and their list of games is not perfect

Quoting: dpanter
Quoting: elmapul"HD version" that run like crap on my computer even with the option for old textures...
There is another option for consideration. The Wii edition of RE4 is really good, if emulation is in the cards. Since that's a laughably weak console you could be ok even with that old i5/hd4000 machine.

Quoting: headless_cyborgsettings cannot be changed
Had the same issue. Keybinds were interesting to say the least. Eventually found Reload on mouse 5...
emulating wii? i doubt i can do that... its an i5/hd4000 indeed but an weak one... but if you have experience in doing so, so maybe i should try.
i didnt though my hardware was capable of emulating psp and it is, so who knows.

meanwhile i purchased RE4 classic before Capcom decided to delist it from steam knowing that my computer where capable of playing it because my old computer was weaker and able to play it on linux...
only to realize this is another version "HD version" that run like crap on my computer even with the option for old textures...

Flathub in 2023, they have some big plans

maybe this is a bit too litle to late.
i mean, who use package managers when we have "Steam" ?
i do but most people wont.

not to mention that , it has been 30 years and linux didnt grow much, i dont see how that will change any time soon.

stupid canonical being stupid.

who use package managers in 2023 anyway? we have steam!
seriously, shit like this will only harm canonical and linux in general, the only consistent way to install things on linux is using proprietary softwares like steam.

i think its time to find another distro, im tired of distro hopping, so i sticked with ubuntu for a while, but my patience have limits.

Quoting: elmapuleven purchasing used games seems more usefull to me, at least you are giving money to an consumer that might use it to purchase another new game that is still being produced.
Too risky! They might use that money for drugs, or worse, mobile games with ads and micro-transactions!

i dont care if they use drugs, but please, dont spend on mobile games with ads/mtx! that is way to dangerous indeed, thanks for clarifing.

btw im not serious about the drug issue.
I'd say like 90% people on the planet use some drug or another at this point (sure I'm pulling that number out of thin air). Granted most are told to take the drugs by their doctors. But it's really crazy to think about how dependent we are on medications these days.

dude, 100% of the mobile gamers use drugs, they are called "mobile games".
those 'skinner box' mechanisms are an form of drug in my opinion.

Framework begin offering 2TB SSD upgrades for Steam Deck

i dont live in one of the covered regions, but i would like then to install the drive for me, maybe even sell the deck with the driver already installed, instead of just selling then.
am i the only one?

Watch Dogs: Legion from Ubisoft arrives on Steam, playable on Steam Deck

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: elmapulim already at the point that i read news like this and think:
of course it does, why wouldnt it?
Because many...don't or have serious issues. I've blogged about quite a lot of issues over the last year.

i know but we already are at the point that when an big game is announced, it supporting steamdeck/linux is an rule rather than an exception, at least that is how im feeling =D
