You can forget about anything on Windows 10 ARM as most gaming applications are made with x86-processors in mind. As for Android, I'd like to see more progress on that front, but we'll see...

Remote play isn't going to work. The only arm devices remote play works on are Sony branded phones and iPhones. It's not possible. If it were possible it would be on a raspberry pi or something similar.

steam link for raspberry pi is on there and windows 10 ARM does support x86 apps they just won't perform as well on ARM machine

The linux L4T release has done a lot of the groundwork for Android, they're waiting for nvidia to release updated drivers for a new android release.

The android remote play client can be made to run on non-sony devices, the hardest part is getting the controller working.

That´s not quite right the remote play apk got hacked pretty fast you can use it on any Android phone not only the Sony ones.

You're wrong. The apk got hacked years ago and Sony put an end to that pretty quick. The only way to make it work now is to have a rooted phone & install Sony specific stuff. So yet again I am right and remote play on an arm device running Windows 10 is NOT going to work.

Not sure why you quoted me, I said nothing about Steam. I said remote play will not work and that's 100% correct.

the Microsoft store will have many exclusives only available to Windows 10 x86 and arm variants btw. Android would be amazing to see more of. Imagine PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty mobile with custom key bindings?!?!?

So you want to play a mobile game & cheat by using a controller? Such a noob thing to say/do.

Windows 10 on ARM is able to execute Win32 applications.
Games that have 32 bit x86 binaries work juat fine.

If the game natively supports controller input (Modern Combat, PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, etc etc) its not a "noob thing to do". What would be noob is putting in keyboard and mouse support for these FPS games. Crazy advantage over everyone else. Arguably the controller and touch screen can be seen as similar input (in regard to how many fingers can be used, both can easily be used with 4 fingers.)

Last I heard using a controller/keyboard/mouse on mobile games like pubg fornite etc. get you banned. Which that could have changed, I don't play those games.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
