Adamn today I learned the retroarch/libretro devs are pieces of shit. Depressing

K^ 10W
Hi dont have that issue either, i played through cyberpunk on my deck
Hwhat about them? (if you dont mind telling)
Cwho plays cyberpunk at 10W though
Cit's a 15-20W game
Ashitty people, transphobia, harassing somebody to doing something I probably cannot talk about here, overall just pissing off emulator devs including nearly killing the duckstation project for a bit
Hwell yes, its why i dont buy their games on release and it has to be more than 50% off and why i never install them on anything but a VM, havent bought the newest AC game either because im fed up with them once and for all
Cthe deck wins at low wattage sure but the truth is the vast majority of games people play are more demanding than stardew valley
Hoh
jesus christ
that's awful
jesus christ
that's awful
Cand if that's all you play buy a switch and get way better battery life
KForza horizon 5 runs at 40hz with HDR at 12W
Hpower efficency test
Cwhy do you play at 40 and not 60
KExact middle ground between 30 and 60, extra hour of battery life for doing it
KFully playable
AThe GNOME Project is actually working on a new game UI frontend called highscore that is aiming to work like retroarch but doesn't depend on libretro at all and libretro being pieces of shit is part of the reason. Thankfully HighScore is coming along quite nicely
CSounds like gossip to me
CI mean I just prefer 60
CI remember something about the whole DuckStation thing, I believe it was more to the effect of people reporting Libretro bugs upstream
Calthough I completed cyberpunk on my old shit pc at a very unstable 40 FPS and it was just about bearable
CSo the upstream maintainer asked them to rebrand, and they did to SwanStation
Cgranted I nearly got motion sick, three times
Cthis was in like 2019
Mthis is why there are a bunch of other companies selling you devices that can play stuff at slightly higher resolutions for lower amounts of time while valve is doing the opposite.
H40fps does not work well if your display hz cant be in sync with the fps
KI would expect that to be miserable, you don't have a 40 hz display
KIt can't evenly divide
KFrame pacing would be all over the damn place
Cnot even comparable because the issue I have w the deck is 15W is the cap
Cif I have it plugged in let me go full balls to the walls
Pthe opposite being literally not selling a thing to anybody right
Aeven if that's gossip they still have blood on their hands for the part their maintainers played in the near event
CThat's not nearly as serious a conundrum as you're posing it as
KCif someone managed to uncap the 15W TDP I bet the deck could run cyberpunk at 60 FPS at 25-30W
KThat's been done, it cant
KDiminishing returns past 15W
C15 is extremely anemic for such a demanding title on 7840U processors so it would suprise me if it's not different here
Pdo you even know what happened?
Has much as i dont personally like the gnome project, id honestly much rather endorse something made by sane people
ig ill probably start pointing people to that if they ask for emulator frontends
ig ill probably start pointing people to that if they ask for emulator frontends
CThe DuckStation one
Mthe vangogh apu is designed for one purpose and one purpose only
Mlow power, high efficiency
KAnd here we are a couple generations later and it's still the best at it, quite the chip
ADevelopment is being headed up by a trans woman bless her and it's looking fantastic so far
KI can't wait to see what AMD does next with the concept
Mthey did
Cthey didn't
