Hello.

I have a problem. I have an Atari Lynx emulator Handy.
I've played Ms. Pac-Man, but it's extremely laggy on 4x screen size and above. 3x screen size lags too sometimes. So I can only do 2x screen size, but then the window is really small so it;s still unplayable.

What are the system requirements to play an Atari Emulator?

My specs:
Intel Core i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
RAM: 4GB.
GFX is something with Radeon HD or something.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: The emulator also can't find a controller while it's for sure plugged in.

There's nothing you can do. This is a limitation of the emulator, and until it's developed more it won't be able to run smoothly at higher resolutions.

    @BigOnYa, Maybe. Depends if Nintendo wanted to expand the lifespan of the console. But with every console that they release, it usually gets discontinued after 10-12 years.

    These so-called 'media stories' often make predicaments about when or what is going to happen, whereas it could be the total opposite.

    Support from big n may stop aka new firmwares, but devs will prob continue making games for it as long as sales are good.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    New firmwares are only there to prevent piracy/softmodding hardware, they do not "enhance the user experience" as they claim so on and so forth. And if they decide to add new features to the system via firmware updates, then it's quite rare.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Games are still released on PS4\ XboxOne, so I imagine will be same scenario.

    True. We'll have to see.

    Currently we don't know what's happening at all, it's up to our imagination to decide (especially via IGN and other sources).

    I have a feeling big N has a extra trick up they sleeve to prevent piracy this time w Switch 2. (Lotus 4 maybe) So the new games can't be dumped, even w a dump tool. (Mig dumper)

    It would have to be extra security measures in the Switch 2 gamecarts that will be different from the OG Switch carts. So, for example, Switch 2 gamecarts will not work with the Switch, because it has a different ASIC. Game partitions and layout to a Switch ROM will be the same, but has extra flags in the ROM header info that only the Switch 2 will recognise.

    If Trump does the proposed tarrifs it means a $449 Switch2 will now cost $569 plus tax.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Just tell them to keep the change.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Give me your change so I can rob you while I pay you
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    When I owned my pizza place many years ago, we didn't have a cash register at all, every employee was given a "bank" of small bills at start of shift. Then everyone pocketed the money and made change, and I'd cash everyone out at end of shift. One time we had a gunman come in to rob me and wanted to know where's the cash register. I told him we don't take cash, only credit, and he left with nothing. Cops caught him even.

    My wifeys aunt gave her some gold coins in her will when she passed last year, and the tax man was gonna tax her a gift tax on it, but our accountant said if she sells the gold and put that money into a 5 year CD, it will be untaxable. So she did, and now IRS saying they want a income tax on the gold coin sale. Damn taxman always greedy.
