It's not looking good. Currently some games run up to 80% but only with speedhacks and underclocking the emulated CPU. GPU performance may improve with driver updates but it looks like Dolphin is just too CPU intensive since many games cause 100% CPU usage on one core.

I would not get my hopes up for 100% in the majority of games any time soon if ever.

With proper optimization, sure some "easy to run" games would be playable on the Pi 4. The new SoC's CPU is only slightly slower than the main 4 CPU cores in the Tegra X1 (which are the ones that actually do things), so it should be just enough for those easy games like Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion and such.

But don't expect like...Super Mario Galaxy or Monster Hunter Wii or anything.

    Maybe if it's precracked before the install Ken?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They could still do some online activation thing making it difficult to crack like Ai rerouting bytes of info
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @ZucchiniMaiden, Windows 8's UI was terrible. I like the Start Menu plain and simple; easy to navigate and find your programs in one spot. Whereas Windows 8 completely re-designed it to have massive boxes with pre-loaded crap and you have to navigate all the way to the right to find your programs. Very annoying and not user friendly. Many people complained when it came out, I was still using Windows 7 at the time so I didn't use it at all until later.

    I'm thinking 11 will probably be supported until 2030 tbf

    Imagine 8k displays being a requirement just to run Ai windows

    There's also extended updates after its EOL, which requires purchasing a subscription. But that can be easily bypassed anyways so it's not like anybody is going to pay for it, unless you worked in a business like healthcare which are still going to run on an older operating system which relies on older drivers for their equipment.

    @SylverReZ I don't recall my PC updating Windows 8.1 after its eol

    @Xdqwerty, It's only updates before its end of life, not extended.

    Hmmm... I have a feeling Gemini is probably stealing my website, and many others, too.

    Stupid Gemini. Don't want it searching your site? Turn off all results, and it'll likely ignore your requests anyway.
