Wait. Isn't Cemu used to be an Open Source since 1.0.0?
If yes, well @Exzap have a good reason of making the emulator Close Source. Look at it's competitor DeCaf Wii U Emulator.
Not a single "Compiled" version of that emulator.

many compiled versions you just have no idea where to look

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Your GPU supports Ogl 4.5 but glsl 4.40 (shader language). If Exzap implement glsl 4.50 and AMD don't implement this in next drivers, you and I with my HD7870 and every other AMD GPU can screw together. This is basically what is happening with Xenia.
also this isnt true amd has supported opengl 4.5 since crimson drivers xenia runs greatish on my 390x and 7970 you just have limited information on the subject

I don't want to come of rude, but if you keep the source closed and force people to opengl 4.5...
I think the emulator might lose its purpose altogether, if nobody can use it, then what's the point in building it?
At least for me and many people I know who are testing this emulator, it's not a change we would like too see.
We would like to support as many systems as possible, but if the Wii U can do something that your computer hardware can't do (and as such cannot directly emulate) then you are out of luck. The decision to move to a more recent OpenGL version is due to technical limitations, it's not an arbitrary choice.

Then again, nothing is final yet. We may settle with what we are currently using and revaluate at a later time.

I'm just curious, is the plan just to keep it closed source indefinitely, or do you plan to open source it further down the line once the project has matured a bit? If it's the former, is there a possibility that decision might be reevaluated in the future at some point?
I already posted a few times that we would release the source if we get stuck with development or if we abandon the project. We may release the source code earlier depending on the state of the project. But that's something we will decide at a later time.

Love your work, it's taking form very fast - Colour me impressed!

Look forward to checking out the code one day, although totally understand if it's never released.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
