The Wii U has always been getting love since 2015. It just needs some publicity.
Yes, you already answered me through Discord
I could skip that memory error screen but game crashed due another memory error (not HBL related, I think).WiiU is definitely an amazing machine, DS emulation alone.

Haha yeah. They managed to make that work. It probably worked well, because they did high level emulation of the arm7 (since all commercial games use the default arm7 from the sdk, which only has some sdk version differences, but is further mostly the same).Yes, you already answered me through Discord

Breath of the wild was also an incredible last nintendo game for the system.
What's the point? Looking at some videos it doesn't even have custom collisions or sounds. That gigant model on top of Mario collisions feels so bad.
It even features 2x upscaling, which is fairly amazing. And Gamepad is the perfect replacement for the DS control scheme.
My only complain is that it doesn't support DSi at all, not even vanilla DS games with enhanced features, like Avatar (the movie game, Zelda style) or de Blob 2.

Man someone needs to port this to old school DirectX 8/9 with software rendering support and/or make one for MS-DOS. I want to see how well it would run on my Pentium 120Mhz machine with Windows 95. But the current source code was designed to build it for modern Windows.
Sure the HD textures and other fancy mods would likely not work very well, but I imagine the vanilla version of the game would run well enough. It would be rad to play this on a machine that was way too slow to emulate an N64 well. Plus it would be super cool to see it run on PC hardware that was around at the time the game originally came out. (I have a Compaq Presario 4112 which was made around '96 with it's original keyboard, mouse, and monitor. )

Well, DirectX 9 would ensure it works from 2000 up to 10 without much of a hitch, but if you want it to run on 9x/ME, you'd be wanting something more along the lines of DirectX 5/6. I'm sure it's possible with MS-DOS, but let's be real, no one really wants to do C:\mario.exe_Man someone needs to port this to old school DirectX 8/9 with software rendering support and/or make one for MS-DOS.

But it would be a fantastic showcase, and would make the UltraHLE emulator look like a real joke the same way DaedalusX64 is looking on 3DS right now. Yes, this is emulation vs. native hardware, but that's the magic of this being a native port in the first place.
I'm personally more interested in seeing a Dreamcast port, just so we can finally have the counter paradox to "Sonic on a Nintendo console."

I recall 98 having DX9 support?. 95 though maybe not. But yeah I do have a old laptop that has 98 installed and a Presario 5000 with Windows ME installed. Would be super rad to play this on my iMac G3 too. (I have a 333mhz Tangerine tray loader).
Would be funny to see this ported to PS1, but seeing that PS1 doesn't have a z-buffer...yeah I don't think that's happening. Maybe someone could make it run on the PS2.
In general would be nice to see this ported to older platforms.

First time I loaded it, it did take awhile, maybe a minute. After that I never saw it take long again.

Running 800PX + Anti Aliasing + Mario HD (DS) compiled CIA here and it looks glorious and plays fabulously!
Quick update on the Wii U port (posting here since I don't think it deserves its own thread just yet):
The Makefile will automatically do this now.

i have that stupid connector on my gpu luckily it's only a 300w gpu so i should(?) be fine since all the issues are with the quad 8pin->12pin and mine is only dual 8pin

quite a tight bend on that 8pin->12pin adapter in my case, which is the worst case scenario, but i made sure it was fully seated after plugging everything in and bending the cable so it shouldn't come unseated by itself since i pre-stressed the cable

@Psionic Roshambo i didn't go amd for one specific reason, the AI performance is way behind nvidia+1

oh yeah also DLSS is a pretty solid reason to go nvidia since fidelityfx is kinda crap

and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia

Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different

the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now

I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
