Quoting: PlintslîchoBut I currently don't have my PS3

One more shot: If you have a PS4 running firmware 9.00 or lower you can load Linux on PS4 and use that for dumping.

This is the drive I use for such things:

Quoting: PlintslîchoFunny, I've just picked up Red Dead Redemption GOTY to play it with RPCS3. Now I just need a compatible Blu-ray drive to dump the game files to my disk (or get them by another way). So this is really good news. :-)

Ha, I managed to get one in my system that is compatible with reading PS3 disks for that very purpose many moons ago. I also did it for that very game!

Oooh, I may have to pick this one up? Wonder which HOTAS it supports? The Thrustmaster Warthog needs more Linux love. It's one of the few things that keeps me tied to having a Windows install...

Quoting: pageroundThis is good to read. Maybe i'll finally get around to playing Demon's Souls :)

Ha, I finally bought that for the PS5. Has it been opened yet? I think so? Have I played it yet? Nope!

Too many Steam games! Not to mention game time... maybe one day...

I finished it on the ps3, like you got it for the ps5, but am slightly worried I am growing to old for these and will fail miserably :cry:

Ha, you mean like how easily I gave up on Elden Ring because of it's mechanics pissing me off?

Quoting: drjomsIts probably a limitation of your DE/Chromium on Linux, which is used as basis for Steam Client.

Most everything else is fine with it, including Chromium. Just conky - which is kinda understandable because it's old and a bit on the janky side - and Steam. I guess for the same reason; although they've the resources to fix it if they bothered to.

At least (in my experience) the Steam Client on Linux is far more stable / less problematic than the Mac version on the M1 I have. It is constantly needing refreshes if I go to the store, or simply stops working and needs to be killed / started again.

Not sure how much of that is the 'Rosetta' stuff, or what, but seems it at least needs to be 64bit there or it wouldn't launch anymore.

This sounds like it's proper support rather than just a game compositor/overlay.

I am curious about HDR and movie playback as that seems to be getting more and more popular.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, Hyperion could figure out how to port that to Linux on PowerPC macs, but damned if they can port AmigaOS to PowerPC Macs... :P Which makes no sense to me, as you'd think there would have been far more uptake of that operating system if they'd make it for more affordable hardware.

I have never been the Amiga user myself.

I'm guessing that Hyperion realized that there are thousands of people that want to use AmigaOS. They will be interested in spending a lot money for the hardware if they can make something useful on their favorite operating system.

The majority of Mac users buy computers to run new version of macOS. In the same way, they get used to their favorite applications that aren't available for Windows or Linux.

I think that many MorphOS users have a second computer with Amiga OS.

I can't understand Hyperion decisions. Shogo for Mac Classic was a success, and they didn't even made a patch for Mac OS X users.

They were more interested in porting Gorky 17 to Linux x86/PPC than releasing games like Europa Universalis for Mac.

That is the point though, mac users will want the latest macOS, so they will sell off their PPC macs, as they were deprecated by Apple. But the hardware is still more than beefy enough to run modern stuff, especially something as light weight as AmigaOS.

Quoting: pete910To be honest having used HDR on windows in the Past and films ect on my LG oled I cant say it's that impressive. For the most part it resembles some turning the Saturation and colours up to full.

Dare say it's a personnel preference thing at the end of the day.

What I find amusing is that the first Far Cry basically had a software version of HDR in it. So when you'd go into a cave, it'd be really dark, then it was like your eyes would adjust, then when you left a cave, it'd be really bright...

I think Fallout III did something like this when leaving the bunker vault for the first time (in your life).

Yeah, seems a few games here and there since then had similar things going on. I just remember the CryTek engine being one of the first ones to attempt to do a lot of crazy lighting things like that. Granted it'd also choke on the lava areas!

I can't remember it from other games, but I found it so suiting the situation: All your life in a vault, and then you see the sun for the first time...

It's like me finally emerging from my house after the holiday weekend of getting a foot of snow... it was definitely blinding. I should have stayed in my dungeon.

Quoting: gbudnyThat was the only FPS game officially ported to Linux PowerPC, and it has some interesting options for Linux users

- computers with the x86 processor
- PowerPC Macs with Linux
- you could try to run Sin on the game consoles like PS2, or other Linux computers with the PowerPC processors like Amiga, PEGASOS, IBM etc.

Ha, Hyperion could figure out how to port that to Linux on PowerPC macs, but damned if they can port AmigaOS to PowerPC Macs... :P Which makes no sense to me, as you'd think there would have been far more uptake of that operating system if they'd make it for more affordable hardware.
