I shall yoink that, thank you very much.

Not a bad idea actually, totally didn’t think about that.

Maybe even a PCIe pass through to a VM could do the trick if you’re desparate lol (with Linux living in a separate drive)

Orrrr maybe even try FreeBSD… (or mac OS, but eww gross don’t test that)

The only thing I can think of is to try the drives in a different system and see how they behave (same OS and configuration).

If they behave the same then that rules out everything except the drives themselves and the OS.

Considering how you mentioned the behavior is better in Windows, it sounds like a software issue, but you never know until you try.

FWIW I’ve also had memory issues with XMP.

Turns out that ASUS firmware is omega pepega and decided to go against AMD’s specifications even for XMP profiles.

CLDO VDDP was stuck at the same voltage as SOC. Per AMD it has to be up to VSOC - 0.1V

So, after manually setting that, and other VDDP and VDDG voltages, it magically started working perfectly.

So do check voltages anyway even if you found a bad stick. Mine endured through the crappy firmware thanks to it being Samsung B-die.

Also check this for more info in general (I recommend this even if you won’t OC, just the memtest alone is a huge section)

I tested with OCCT to find even more errors, so either do that in a mini windows environment or do one of the Linux tests to check memory some more. Memtest86+ isn’t enough.

I remember way back, around 2013, asking Gigabyte Mobile for the kernel source of one of their devices (Mika M3) via their business support.

Needless to say, they obliged! They uploaded it and then gave a link to an FTP server and credentials to use it.

So sometimes it’s just worth asking.

I couldn’t compile it fwiw, because it was missing key Mediatek components, but eh, what can you do…

It kind of still is because of Webview2. Games such as Forza Motorsport (not that you’d want to play that crap) depend on it for Xbox login purposes even if you bought the game on Steam. The game depends on the system Edge libraries and doesn’t ship its own.

This goes for inter-developer communication too. Be nice to one another. Someone just wants to help sometimes.

1. Power management on certain chips is simply better than anything Linux has to offer (AMD Zen+ mobile for instance)
2. Modular driver architecture with drivers that aren’t complete jank to manage and install. A lot of people see this as a pain point, but in reality it’s not such a bad thing, especially nowadays.
3. This is a given, but as lots of stuff runs on Windows (namely older games), you can only really make stuff for Windows on Windows. So if you need to develop Win32 software, you really have to use Visual Studio for proper development. Mingw cross compile exists, I know, but that’s never going to be as good.

Number 3 is keeping me on Windows. I make mods for old games and I need Visual C++. I almost got the compiler to run under Wine but who knows how it would behave if it did run.

Jak and Daxter is still theirs.

I don’t think that’s gonna work because this is a thing that he needs

It needs to be accurate and fast, indeed. The code being old isn’t a problem unto itself, but rather the side effects of it.

It is fine for all intents and purposes today. But, there is some inherent difficulty associated with decisions brought years ago when some of the code was originally written, making portability quite a challenge.

I wasn’t making a comment on its age, mind you. I don’t necessarily think it’s that big of a problem and probably can be fixed easily. If anything, it has gotten way better thanks to the departure from the plugin system and various other optimizations over the years.

Well, stenzek is the developer of DuckStation and the person behind the new Qt UI and many new fixes on the backend of PCSX2.

But, I will agree that we do need a new emulator. The emulator called “Play!” is a really good candidate and looks promising. Seeing how it runs on ARM beautifully, I can’t wait to see how far it goes.

PCSX2 runs fine for most people today, but the foundation is a bit too old for its own good. This is why you don’t see too many ports of PCSX2 to other plaforms. They have improved massively by ditching the entire plugin system a few years ago, but that alone isn’t enough to make it more portable and easy to run.

While I understand that Wayland is broken for the purpose of PCSX2, I am unfortunately biased against the developers here due to the horrible experiences I had with them.

If anyone will take up the task of fixing this, be warned that they absolutely do not cooperate with you on the PRs that they receive.

Now do Odo on Frodo

Nothing can beat a VCR with an ad skipper.

And I am not afraid to use it.

I like it but it has a couple tiny issues:

1. Font title is the same weight as the rest of the post, making it hard to make things out from afar.

2. Scrolling for me often results in “reaching the end” when there’s more posts below, causing me to have to refresh often. (At least, this is the case on iOS and not on my desktop.)

EA used to do this even before Microsoft!

They have their own music system called “Pathfinder” which controls music interactively in little chunks.

I believe it was first used in NFS 2, which came out before DirectMusic.

If you’ve heard the pursuit music in NFSMW 2005 or Carbon’s Canyon music, that’s Pathfinder! It was also used in Medal of Honor and Red Alert 3.

On the same token - anyone who also knows what an OS is shouldn’t care either. Use the best OS for your job and needs. Reap the benefits of all of the OSs that you can run and switch between them like an army knife. It is the best when all of them complement each other.
