Quoting: TheLinuxPlebIs there going to be any ARM version? I think i saw somewhere that this is x86 only.

Pretty sure PCSX2 is all open source, so in theory just needs a recompile. I don't think it's one of those emulators that are coded in a way they won't even work on 64bit systems.

Unfornately is not that easy. Until today, there isnt a PCSX2 port for ARM until today. The only that i know is the Damon PS2 that is available on Android

Interesting.
On that note, I was just wondering why we haven't ever seen any of the higher end SoC makers release SBCs out there like the Pi. I mean some of the cell phones are getting crazy performance, and would make excellent mini computers. Granted I know most of them use closed source blobs for graphics, but the performance of them is pretty nice. I mean Apple thinks it is time, why not Qualcomm?

This just reminds me of all the talks about Windows switching kernels to use Linux. How many little weird things out there like RGB lighting or special features require Windows applications (not even talking drivers here) to configure all the features that wod never work with different kernel drivers?
Something like Creative labs' crappy sound mixer thing for the AEX line of cards. Or all the weird overclocking tools Asus, EVGA, etc package with their hardware. You know, the stuff most system builders never install because they tend to be buggy crap, or just one more piece of software that takes system resources.
Also, I would like see better optimus support still (Pop_OS has this weird issue on my thinkpad P52 where if I put it solely into Discrete GPU mode, my trackpad/trackpoint stops working). Everything else worked OOTB extept my fingerprint reader, which I think is only barely getting any Linux support.

Pretty sweet that Asus is getting attention. We actually need more manufacturers helping with some of their more esoteric hardware, lkke folding screens and such.

Quoting: The_Aquabatany words if the release of retroarch on steam is approaching?

I'm still waiting for the updated Dwarf Fortress too.

Quoting: TheRiddickI don't see the harm in making ISO backups of your legitimate games to run via emulation software on PC, such as PS3 games.

There is some allowance for this in Australian law but I know in the USA the whole government has been infested with anti-pirate corporations which also reach far into backup and self-use, preservation territory which is a sad thing.

Corporations want to ERASE the past so we can only buy their new crap they shovel us.

This is very true.

I've had several conversations with people about Cyberpunk and how it really has come to pass. Sure we don't have cybernetic implants, but we certainly have corporations calling the shots over government decisions, and there is more and more a divide between the people who just keep getting richer, and a giant vast amount of people that are homeless. This year alone made the world more like Cyberpunk than the previous decades though!

But yeah things like Fair Use and Right to Repair and Net Neutrality... all being attacked or slain due to corporate greed.

Quoting: HoriHopefully the future Pi5 will be able to run at least some PS2 games but the Pi4... I can't see how it could be able to reasonably run any of them.

They did just release the pi 400 that you can overclock quite nicely as it has a massive heat spreader stuck to it inside the keyboard. I'll probably pick one of those up eventually.

Quoting: mos

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'd love to go into space.

consider industrial deep diving. the ocean is almost the same as the space - tough, exp[A|E]nsive and homicidely inhospitable and unwelcoming for human species.

Also recommend SOMA. It has both and upon completing you just well may end up craving this Space of yours a little less. Kinda start valuing our old Mother Earth that little bit more.

I started playing SOMA, i should finish it some day.
I have alwas had a fear of drowning, but am fine with explosive decompression in space. Also, need to record a video going up so flat earthers can claim it is fake.

Guess the question is, can the Raspberry Pi 4 handle PS2 games? I may have to take my old tower and use it as a games console... been tempted to do it anyhow..

Quoting: slaapliedjedeath to physical media, I guess...

Well its still a option, but with so many games now needing updates and dlc, its a expensive addition. My PC does not have a bluray dive, I have a external one that never gets used.

What I'd like to see is games being distributed on USB3.0 pens, but with the hacking and bricking PC issue involved with those, maybe that isn't such a good idea either.

Heh, I had a Bluray burner, then found I needed a different one for reading PS3 games for the emulator, so that's what is in my PC at the moment.

I mostly use it for retro-stuff. Because yeah everything new I get on Steam / Gog.

Quoting: TheRiddick$10 shy of the PS5 Digital Edition.. oh dear. This won't age well!

It actually angers me on a specific level that there is even such a thing as the PS5 Digital Edition... death to physical media, I guess...

Quoting: whizseI wonder what it is with billionaires and their affinity for launching things into space [External Link]? Did Scrooge McDuck suffer from the same complex? What will I launch into space when my bank account ticks over nine digits? Serious questions these!

If I were crazy rich, I'd want to launch things into space too. I mean it's SPACE! Like one of the coolest things Mark Shuttleworth ever did was go into space. I'd love to go into space.
