Hey guys,

This is prob a silly question to ask, (I did a forum search on this topic any nothing came up) but what are rev002 games?

I've noticed that a few games are being re-released in rev002 (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda BOTW) and when I read the nfo of those games (to find out why its been re-released in rev002) theres no reason indicating why its been re-released.

The only reason I can think of why the game has been re-released is because the original dump of the game wasn't intended for firmware 5.1.x or because the original dump isn't compatible with the latest version of the TX OS?

Am I wrong here? Or do the rev002 releases of the games include dlc's or patches?

I picked up a copy of BOTW rev002 a few weeks ago but I'm wondering if there's a point / is it worth it to re-download Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

The Rev002 games include new system updates on the cart and, sometimes, new patches. There is zero reason to redownload.
Appreciate the answer!

I'll hold off on downloading any rev002 games for a while, while not urgent to have, I'm sure its not a bad thing to have the latest version of the game installed.

Do you think future re-releases like rev009 (made up that number lol) will include dlc's or will those have to be obtained via nsp's?

Cart revisions have nothing to do with DLC. They just include game updates and system updates. Adding DLC is never done as a silent cartridge revision.

If you are downloading updates for your games, these revisions are useless.
Every 0002 revision out there is already outdated in the sense that there's newer updates for those games.

I know that. But as I was saying, they are still better than no update if you don‘t want to go online or install nsps with any devmenu.

Both good points. Thanks for sharing them.

I'll keep them in mind when/if I choose to re-download a rev002 version of a game

Why the hell would Nintendo make a new game revision specifically so that is could work with SX OS :P

    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
