It is, but in a sense that it’s more strict to make new setups. Existing ones are going to contine to work as usual, but the new “Steam Families” is a thing now that replaces it and it has stricter conditions. Correct me if I’m wrong on that.

So you can’t have a “family” in another continent like you used to or whatever like that.

Is it really that much worse? Think about it long and hard.

Ewaste is a bigger problem than the inability to resell or trade digital games (in my opinion, at least). One can be solved fully digitally, while the other cannot.

Besides, Steam did it properly with Family Sharing when it was a thing.

This to me feels like Nintendo wants a stronger grip on digital key redistributions by adding a physical element into it to screw over key and account resellers. People are much less likely to sell a physical item when compared to a fully digital one.

Sending something physical is more time consuming and just more costly in general. I could always share a code via a message or an image to a friend, whereas with game cards I’d have to mail it over.

Now, only time will tell if game key cards will affect digital key sales (and their overall existence), but knowing Nintendo, it probably will.

And also - the whole point of “having a game catalog tied to your account fully digitally” is moot anyways if the game itself has to be downloaded anyway.

Ez just nuke processes from the kernel debugger /s

But, real talk, the only comparable thing would be the emergency restart option (go to ctrl+alt+del screen, hold ctrl as you click on the shutdown button)

I care about MIDIs! I’ll check this out asap.

Pretty cool, I’m interested to see how far you can take it!

If you can match BASSMIDI in terms of features then you got yourself a serious synth on hands. (If you can match Sound Canvas or Yamaha MU synths, even better!)

Just keep in mind that most (and by that I mean like 99%) of soundfonts aren’t exactly made to proper specifications. A lot of them miss certain parameters (such as filter cutoff frequency, LFO frequencies, etc) and even misuse them (reverb and chorus pre-set on layers being cranked up).

The only soundfonts I recommend you develop this with (as your target) are the ones made by E-MU themselves. CT4MGM.SF2 especially. They basically cloned the Roland SC-55 as closely as they could on their sound chips at the time and most sounds match the behaviors correctly.

I bet the OP has no spine to refute that

PPSSPP will attempt to establish connection to any IP or domain that is put in the ad-hoc server text box. So, much like a web browser, it entirely depends on where you tell it to connect.

That being said, as for any security concerns, I am unaware of any exploits and/or wrongdoings with PPSSPP code, so you should be safe. It only passes the data directly between the emulated games and the chat box feature.

So, for PPSSPP multiplayer, you either need to be in a LAN with the other players or, as you’ve said, forward the port.

So, if you’re on the same LAN as your friend(s), it’s as easy as setting the IP address to the host (on all the clients) and the same wifi channel in PPSSPP settings.

If you wish to play online, it gets tricky. Most cellular data providers are behind something known as a CGNAT, which basically prohibits port forwarding.

The only solution and workaround to this is to use a VPN tunnel that can put you in a virtual LAN with your friends but over the internet. One of the most commonly used software on PC for this is LogMeIn Hamachi. Not sure if there is anything like it on Android, though.

I’ve actually set up a Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force tournament for DLE but that quickly went nowhere after a couple episodes lol

Shining Force. One of few RPGs I played…

Man, I miss it. I know that the “Shining” brand technically isn’t dead but, it hasn’t been the same since after Shining Force 3. Or, heck, even during it.

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

Great work!

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.

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?

Oh cool, I didn’t know!

I’ll go check it out, thanks!

I want to try to use Rust myself as well to build a library and I wonder how it’ll turn out (especially since I do Win32 hacks mostly lol).

No problem. Please do report back!

We really do not have many (if any) Rust alternatives for code hooking and injection and doing stuff with rendering like we do with C++.

Maybe you could finally figure something out we can use for other games as well!
