@datMoneyJEG@thechito20@pics_vg@RealStrictlyLTD 1: Can't people just enjoy their games? 2: You sure the stock market hasn't rotted your brain a little *too* much, considering you're boiling a literal source of entertainment down to monetary value and monetary value only?
@cottondpad@_Christallina_@cheesycrackers_ @dumbandanxious Except they absolutely *do not* have to be developing it for a living. Many, *many* FOSS contributions are entirely on free time, and not paid time. Paid time for FOSS work is actually rare as hell, in contrast.
@Geeks3D If the community had the source code, this program could both be updated and properly packaged into distribution repositories and be beneficial literally everywhere, instead of just certain systems. This means it'd be useful for ARM, MIPS, x86, etc, just as examples.
@Geeks3D I have a few questions regarding your GPUtest program, mainly the (rather poor) Linux port.
1: Why /, and not the standard -?
2: Why no help/manual file that lists all options? (I found what I needed by a hex editor ffs)
3: What about the source code maybe?
@TommyKomang@Dolphin_Emu 5/5 it plenty obvious exactly *why* not every processor is supported, nevermind working. Don't blame Dolphin, point your blame at the likes of @MediaTek because they need this flak, and tons of it.
@TommyKomang@Dolphin_Emu 4/? a bunch of hardware in their phones, which needs to be painstakingly reverse-engineered to get *anywhere* with custom kernels and systems. The only instance of this source license ever, ever being honored by Mediatek was for the original Android One phones. I think this makes
@TommyKomang@Dolphin_Emu 3/? of this, with vendors like Mediatek and other Chinese chip makers, you have absolutely *zero* source code access, which is actually required by Linux's own GPLv2 license, because they call it a "trade secret" which it isn't. They also have proprietary drivers of their own for
@TommyKomang@Dolphin_Emu 2/? obituary on their blog. This emulator needs 64 bit processors (this means ARMv8) to run anything anywhere close to properly. Then you factor in the GLES issues and the stupendous amount of driver bugs and issues, which vary from version to version and vendor to vendor. On top
@TommyKomang@Dolphin_Emu They can't.
ARMv5 and ARMv6 are way out of date, and literally none of them is fast to even *hope* to get a massively hacked Dolphin to run at even a fraction of fullspeed.
ARMv7 was killed off plenty of time ago for a lot of reasons, all of which you can see in the 32-bit 1/?
@ScottHech If you want things to get lethal, then this is where it starts.
Add a few more "arrests" like this and you'll start seeing dead ICE officers, and lots of them.
I hope the reader doesn't have to be the first one to pull the trigger.
