A lot of apps requires VC Redistribuitables and or .NET version updates.
This only turns on and "works" locally, but eventually, you'll need to get those VC + .NET installations.

That's what you should want out of a de-bloated Windows 11 machine. No useless programs or AI bloat, you can get the programs you need for free.

After getting everything installed, so far two things installed but they're simple driver stuff that is needed for the system to work properly and whatnot.

Papalotl.exe is nearing it's development.
I've managed to merge "Lite" and "Pro" into one. Basically, took the capture method of either is copy pasted on the script of the other, added a toggle button that upon clicking simply calls the appropriate capture method for each version.

Lite Mode: Less CPU ussage = Bigger File Sizes = Less intrusive on whatever you're recording.
Pro Mode: More CPU ussage = Smaller File Sizes = More intrusive on whatever you're recording.
Both has a decent video quality output at lowest settings.
Both has an acceptable performance at best settings possible.

No need to continue experimenting with "3.X.X" branch, I've decided the recording method on both "3.2.7 - Lite" and "3.2.7 - Pro" which are merged into "Papalotl 4.0"
Have in mind it's all CPU recording. I had to find proper balance between CPU ussage and the heaviest task my i3-2120 can do:

- Dolphin + Recording at Native Resolution, 30FPS with Audio Capture.

In theory:
- Papalotl is so light, that it does not affect CPU under stress (according to personal tests)
- Papalotl is efficent enought, that even in framedrops, it maintains Audio and Video in sync.
- Papalotl in theory, should perform better with better/faster CPU's than mine (Intel i3-2120 @3.3GHz)
- Papalotl does NOT use GPU recording methods, which should be the fastest way to record. Don't have access to GPU... so maybe for "Papalotl 5" ? :unsure:

The other day while I was trying to find the appropriate Dolphin version for my "PC", I noticed a lot of versions updates, many of which only stated:
"Changelog = typo"

And I was like: Wow! What a nice way to justify versions without working at all!

"New update! I made a typo in a header! Ooops! Give me money."

EDIT: Not demeriting. Just find funny that a typo justifies a new update.

@JuanMena 2027 - but yeah, spring in England is a pain in the arse and summer is even worse. Last week it got up to 35 °C - 38 °C in this room. Add on to the fact that British houses are not built to get rid of heat ... but to retain it
  • Wow

Ah that's really bad.
Here's the inverse, houses can't retain heat, it's why, during winter, inside feels colder than outside.
Awful, awful.
We've been having 32°C max daily since April, but nowhere near 35, at least not in the city that is.

Today's test was:

- Papalotl 3.2.7 - Lite: Uses different capture method, produces larger file sizes while maintaining good quality even at the lowest settings.
- Papalotl 3.2.7 - Pro: Uses different capture method, produces smaller file sizes while maintaining good quality even at the lowest settings.

This only begs for a unified version of both scripts into one with a toggeable button...

- This would benefit me in my tests to find "the best" capture method depending on task. I'd be free to focus in improving just one script, not both at the same time...

Tests indicates:
- Lite: Good for emulation, but causes larger file sizes. Better for everything else.
- Pro: Even better for emulation, causes smaller file sizes. Slightly lower for everything else.
SEE THE DILEMA?

yeah im not using retrogametalk anymore. that fourm antagonizes this one so bad and hard, it makes me want to support this one more than ever. I know I don't got the money to do such, but I want to see if I can do more to contribute to this fourm. I've been a member for such a long time in here, and never really had any issues with any of the members, but in rgt, some months after i joined, I was literally getting harassed there by some of the members, and the mods weren't doing much about it. They even took away the whole kick/ban system in favor of a "timeout" mode, and you don't even indefinitely get timed out!

From a 2 minutes search it looks like a generic Xenforo forum that might as well be bootleg GBAtemp.
In my 2 minutes I stumbled on at least 3 regulars I recognised and they pretty much wrote the kind of stuff I expected from them, lol
Not a big loss I suppose.

it ain't a huge loss. especially since one of my favorite members that i remembered here that also created an account removed their account there and still remains to be subtly active here and whatnot. i don't know about discord, but they even were a mod for the place for a bit to immediately see the cracks that still remain. my goodness i remember the whole thing that happened to their discord server...

I'm out here hoping we'll finally get Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2 from this presentation. Maybe announce the Master Rank DLC at the same time.

Yay new bug :toot:

Yes, I kinda know what could be causing it.

I'm tired of dreaming I'm in a high building.
It's always either:
- Dream normal shit, sleep 3 hours max.
- Dream I'm in high building, sleep 6/8 hours because I can't wake-up until I touch the ground.
Either way I wake up feeling legs and arms heavy.
:mellow:
