I was wondering if there was a Go Homebrew for the DS? And when I say Go I mean the board game. I've tried searching... but searching for a title consisting of 2 2 letter words doesn't warrant much success.

Yes, there is - DSgf. Unfortunately, it may not be quite what you're after as you can't play against a computer; instead, it's designed to handle sgf files. I've always been disappointed no one in Japan has had tried to produce a fully functioning homebrew. I usually rely on the old SNES games under emulation, though my favourite is the commercially released DS Ginsei Igo.

You can find a roundup of DS software here - http://senseis.xmp.net/?NintendoDS
They say this about DSgf:
DSgf is a homebrew application allowing sgf editing on the Nintendo DS. Alpha 2.11, available on sourceforge was released in February 2008 and works well. DSgf provides a clean and intuitive GUI for your game recordings. 2.11 appears to be the final version of the software.

So you can't play against the DS, but you can set up the board any way you like as well as play against someone sitting next to you

Anyway, it's quite nicely done, so give it go (pun intended).

You can pick up a copy from this site's download section if you like - http://filetrip.net/f1642-DSgf-Alpha-2-1.html

Happy GOing!

I honestly prefer Ginsei Igo. It allows DL play with another DS. The tsumego problems suck though; anyone above 15 kyu will have no problem with it.

Would i be wrong in saying that the "Connect 5" game on the commercial game "Clubhouse Games" is almost an exact copy of Go?

Yes, you would be wrong

Same board, same stones, completely different rules. Go is a far deeper and challenging game.

Kay, i wasn't sure. I play Clubhouse a lot. And i have a general idea of what Go is (at least i know what it looks like). I always thought that was just what they called it in that game.

Speaking of which. And this is loosely on topic, but can anyone recommend me a way to learn how to play Go (I apologize for the grammar, but i'm too lazy to fix it)? It always looked like it might be a fun board game (i'm an avid domino player).

  • 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.
