In the 3ds forums, there are a few essential threads that are sticky'd. But here, there are threads sticky'd for individual releases of homebrew! I think we should have a single sticky or a more organized wiki page for wii u homebrew. It's just a thought to make this place more comfortable and less cramped so newcomers won't be discouraged. Also with talks or IOSU hacking potentially on the way, a sticky similar to NOOB PARADISE, could be a great addition to this forum to avoid constant "noob threads."

PS: Don't hate me and get this EoF'd because I mentioned IOSU

Looks fine to me. More informative, eye catching stuff is better than only one noob thread and people constantly posting new threads due to the most popular ones becoming burried.

The purpose of having sticky threads is to make important threads stand out. I personally say that the more important, informative threads there are for anyone to read, the better.

Eh, I honestly have to agree with the OP. But organization is not my job lol. I don't want to be the guy to tell all the mods how to do what they do best, seems a little jerk-ish. But since someone else brought it up first.. ;)

the two stickies from 2012 could probably go away or be combined with the more recent stickies of the same topic.

Maybe bring this back up when IOSU happens (haha sure as if iosu hax is real) and the inevidable sticky happens, since either one of the old threads would need to be updated heavily or somebody could make a huge mega thread that would invalidate the outdated ones. Right now, I think this is okay.

Honestly, I agree with the OP as well. There's a lot of stickied homebrew threads, and while that's all well and good and awesome, there isn't much reason for them to be. There's no way they're getting buried since there's already a small amount of homebrew on the WiiU, making them forever relevant. And no offense to anyone about Cemu, but what is that doing stickied in a section about WiiU hacking?

In my opinion, I think it'd look cleaner to have a "noon paradise" thread, one thread about homebrew & developing with links to all popular homebrew, and then one vWii guide (@CJB100's is excellent), one WiiU guide (@fiveighteen is also excellent but needs some updating), the dos and do nots for vwii, and maybe something else.

But that's just me.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
