Absolute madness. I cringe at the thought of making modern x86 asm code.

Great work!

Anti cheat is like DRM. It’s a waiting game more than it is about actual direct protection.

Wait, what? Playstation?

I probably misremembered something then, 390xx it is then.

But whatever it may be it is in the AUR 100%.

It’s very good.

Basically, there is one maintainer in the AUR (the name escapes me, jonathon I think it was?) who applies the necessary patches to the old NVIDIA drivers to make them run with a modern Linux kernel.

Of course, there won’t be any Wayland support, but the experience is acceptable as long as you temper your expectations in terms of graphics API support. (No vulkan sadly)

I hadn’t used it myself but I know a person who does and loves it. iGPU handles Wayland stuff while the NVIDIA is there for the heavy lifting in Xorg.

Unironically, the best bet for them is nvidia 540xx drivers on the AUR with an LTS kernel.

Yes, both Yuzu and Ryujinx were open source.

Ryujinx is licensed under MIT and Yuzu is under GPLv3.

I need to remind some people here who don’t seem to understand something.

Forks may be dead and development may not be as fast as the original.

However - you must think about the future and not the situation right now. Yuzu and Ryujinx sources will be invaluable information for people making emulators later down the line.

It’s a matter of when and not if someone picks it up again.

There go my hopes and dreams of IRL Solid Vision system and duel disks…

One day, it will happen with MR.

RIP Black Box Games

(I’m a NFS fan but also a fan of Black Box)

The way I did it is by trying to solve more and more advanced problems with simpler tools/features, then looking at more advanced features and seeing where they could be applied to make the problem solving simpler. Rinse and repeat.

An easy example that I can remember is making arrays that dynamically expand. I started with the barebones malloc and worked out how to use std::vector (and other list types) in its place.

Understanding that concept is, what I believe, to be the foundation of learning programming.

I’m no pro whatsoever, but using this method really helps me pick up and learn new languages.

Oh you mean Android Studio automagically “updating” your versions so that your build breaks and you spent 3 hours figuring out what just happened without you even touching anything?

And that’t the crux of the issue. Stenzek doesn’t actually understand the reality of licensing.

The reality is this - you can’t do anything without a lawyer. Laweyrs cost money (pro bono isn’t a thing in the copyright world AFAIK, but IANAL).

If he wanted to avoid this, then maybe he should’ve kept it closed source from the beginning. Chinese sellers on AliExpress couldn’t care less about licensing anyway, so that way he’d have at least some protection.

IMO his course of action so far has been wrong.

What he should’ve done is this:

1. Cause a stir
2. Get support from the community
3. Open up donations for the project (or just himself, since you don’t want a repeat of Yuzu)

He could even go after Arcade1up legally if he raised funds, but that’s not even worth the time if you ask me.

This is the real issue. This is one area that Windows, despite its historical hardships, handles much better.

(Mac OS too but they killed kexts for the public anyway)

I’d love to see a more dynamic approach (that doesn’t rely on DKMS) someday.

C++ is at least backwards compatible (for 99% of code anyway, yes I know about some features being removed, but that’s an exception and not the rule).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It’s just their ego showing through.

It basically now comes down to the current devs depending on new Rust devs for anything that interacts with Rust code.

They could just work together with Rust devs to solve any issues (API for example).

But their ego doesn’t allow for it. They want to do everything by themselves because that’s how it always was (up until now).

Sure, you could say it’s more efficient to work on things alone for some people, and I’d agree here, but realistically that’s not going to matter because the most interactivity that exists (at the moment) between Rust and C in Linux is… the API. Something that they touch up on once in a while. Once it’s solid enough, they don’t have to touch it anymore at all.

This is a completely new challenge that the Linux devs are facing now after a new language has been introduced. It was tried before, but now it’s been approved. The only person they should be mad at is Linus, not the Rust devs.

Yeah enabling remote debugging because the dev thought it made it easier is a pretty big oof.

But this is just strike one. It’s a one man show, after all, so cutting them some slack is warranted when it comes to this specific topic.

Nevertheless, your concerns aren’t unfounded. This project needs more contributors to be able to keep up. (Thorium is basically in the same boat)

MTG poops and Yugipoops never get old

Self-centered you say?
