    Anyone upgrading to Windows 11?

    You could also try install Windows 11 IoT Enterprise which has much more relaxed requirements and is binary identical to the regular version (and yes, you can do an in-place upgrade via a single reg add command, no need for a full reinstall). Yes you do have to activate it using alternate means...

    FSR4 can now run unofficially on Steam Deck and Linux gaming devices

    It is using a different format AI model, INT8 instead of the normal FP8 if I remember correctly, which the older GPUs can handle.

    Having some problems with emulating Dragon Quest 3 on SNES

    The Dragon Quest 3 translation doesn't use special chips unless you use the canoe patch. What it does use is ExHiROM which some emulators like canoe (and most likely the official snes emulator) doesn't support which is why the canoe patch actually converts it to use S-DD1. If the translated...

    Nintendo Switch firmware update version 20.1.0 now available

    Are you sure that you can easily recover from all Switch bricks with a backup and that there isn't a Switch equivalent to the 3DS MCU brick which is still unrecoverable?

    Android version of 'Disco Elysium' announced

    Probably add some kind of energy mechanic and a "pay or wait" system, which is a pretty standard way of doing that kind of thing.

    Nintendo DS emulator DraStic has been removed from the Google Play Store

    Ah yes, I will run out right now and spend a thousand dollars on a fancy iPhone and probably several hundred dollars more to either repurchase all my apps or even equivalents to apps that I currently get for free from F-Droid just so I can run delta instead of "those over complicated emulators"...

    How can I tell the difference between a PRG0 rom of Zelda 1 and a PRG1 rom?

    Yes, the checksum.

    shadPS4 emulator version 0.4.0 released, adds game fixes, touchpad support, and more

    Except that it isn't "really an emulator" in the traditional sense, more of a compatibility layer. I guess kind of like proton + a glide wrapper would be, thus the much lower hardware requirements since the CPU isn't being emulated and as far as I know there is little to no low level hardware...

    shadPS4 emulator version 0.4.0 released, adds game fixes, touchpad support, and more

    You do realize that both DQ Builder games are available on Steam with no Denuvo or any other DRM*, right? *I don't consider Steam's built in stuff DRM because it is just a single dll replacement to bypass and thus might as well not exist.

    Law 3037/2002, the infamous Greek law that temporarily "banned all video games in Greece"

    From what I understand technically it did apply to anyone playing games "in public" so playing a Gameboy (GBA, DS, 3DS, etc) or playing a game on a laptop (the same would apply to a Steam Deck had they existed back then), even solitaire, where someone else could see the screen was illegal. As...

    RetroArch is now available in the Apple Store for iOS devices

    Software, including emulators, when run via a jailbreak are not prevented from using JIT as that prohibition is an Apple policy, not something enforced by the OS. Go into the settings of your DS emulator and disable the JIT recompiler (if you can) and that is what it will be like with the App...

    RetroArch is now available in the Apple Store for iOS devices

    There is no way you are going to be running a DS emulator on an iPhone at anywhere close to full speed given that JIT/dynarec is not allowed. Only the old style fetch, decode/translate, execute interpreter emulation cores are allowed.

    RetroArch is now available in the Apple Store for iOS devices

    No, the problem is that JIT/dynarec requires the ability to execute data as if it were code which is very difficult to do securely. For example, there are very few JITs that work properly with PaX which disallows the usual W^X workarounds like calling mprotect to switch between executable and...

    RetroArch is now available in the Apple Store for iOS devices

    Don't forget that JIT/dynarec is still not allowed so forget about any of the more powerful systems like NDS, PS1 and above.

    Anbernic reveals specs details of pocket-sized RG28XX retro handheld

    Hopefully they will make one with a rg280v screen size and form factor because the 280v is getting a little long in the tooth, not to mention being MIPS based.
