[04:17] IsambardPrince I think there's a lot. [04:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I'm going to try to get Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader running. [04:29] IsambardPrince I don't know if that laptop can handle it or not. [04:30] IsambardPrince Gamecube wasn't the most intense console to emulate, but Factor 5 always used a lot of odd programming tricks to push that hardware to the limits. [04:30] IsambardPrince That's why Rogue Squadron for the N64 looked so much better than almost all the other games. [04:31] IsambardPrince For the most part, the N64 was a bandwidth machine by the standards of the mid 90s gaming consoles, but Nintendo made two awful design choices. [04:32] IsambardPrince They shipped it with only 4 MB RDRAM and a terminator chip (RDRAM required dummy modules if not installing it in pairs or it is massively unstable). [04:32] IsambardPrince So later they released an Expansion Pak that added the other 4 MB. [04:32] IsambardPrince So game developers that wanted to use that couldn't assume it was there. They had to warn you on the box that you had to buy it separately. [04:34] IsambardPrince Or you could get a game that included it. (In the US, only Donkey Kong 64 included it.) [04:34] IsambardPrince And you had to pry out the terminator and install the RAM upgrade yourself. [04:34] IsambardPrince Without 8 MB RAM, developers were limited severely below what the hardware was capable of. [04:35] IsambardPrince So even though it output to the TV at 640 x 480, internally games without the Expansion Pack were rendered at 320 x 240. [04:36] MinceR timecube > gamecube [04:36] IsambardPrince The other design choice that limited the system was that the video chip was severely limited by RAM as well [04:36] IsambardPrince So it couldn't load high resolution textures. [04:37] IsambardPrince They could have fixed both of these problems even in 1996, if they wanted to increase the price of the console by about $100. [04:37] MinceR afaik other consoles of the fifth generation were even less capable than the N64 [04:37] IsambardPrince The PC version of Rogue Squadron needed a 3dfx card. [04:38] IsambardPrince And it didn't look much better than the N64. [04:38] IsambardPrince Because Factor 5 used the Expansion Pak and knew all the N64 programming tricks. [04:38] MinceR even the N64 couldn't run full-fat Doom [04:38] IsambardPrince And the N64 didn't have to run a general purpose OS. [04:38] MinceR they did get an interesting substitute, though [04:38] IsambardPrince It could have. [04:39] IsambardPrince Doom 64 did not use the largest capacity cartridge. [04:39] MinceR they couldn't even implement the Revenant [04:39] MinceR only its missiles [04:39] IsambardPrince They could have. [04:39] IsambardPrince If they used the biggest capacity cartridge *and* the Expansion Pak that could have been a hell of a title. [04:39] MinceR they couldn't implement the Arch-Vile, either [04:39] IsambardPrince It wasn't bad though. [04:40] IsambardPrince If you can do Rogue Squadron you could do Doom. [04:40] IsambardPrince They just didn't want to go over budget on Doom and there was no Expansion Pak when it was released. [04:41] IsambardPrince Doom 64 was an example of "It's good enough. Ship it." [04:41] IsambardPrince Wasn't the worst console port of Doom. [04:41] MinceR afaik Rogue Squadron was a very different game with very different needs [04:41] IsambardPrince That would have been Doom for the SNES. [04:41] MinceR yeah, it wasn't a console port because they've given up on trying to port it by then [04:42] MinceR all that said, afaik a N64 was a lot cheaper than a PC when it came out [04:42] IsambardPrince Doom SNES didn't have much in common with Doom on the PC. [04:42] IsambardPrince It was a different engine, written very quickly. [04:42] MinceR that's because they had to try running it on laughably weak hardware [04:42] IsambardPrince And even with the SuperFX 2 chip in the cartridge, the SNES was showing its age, badly.

[17:12] IsambardPrince yes, the RP2350 is powerful enough to run doom [17:12] IsambardPrince Yes, but Nintendo themselves did coprocessors inside the cartridge sometimes. [17:12] IsambardPrince .The SuperFX 3 being a Pi isn't cheating because it does fit. [17:13] IsambardPrince You can run SuperFX 3 games inside an SNES emulator. [17:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, SNES Doom is harder than regular Doom for a number of reasons. [17:15] IsambardPrince They did interview the developer on YouTube. [17:16] IsambardPrince He said in the 90s he was working with id software for feedback as he went along. [17:16] IsambardPrince His engine shares no code with the Doom engine. [17:17] IsambardPrince For simplicity so that the SNES works at all, there's no Monster Infighting because the monsters are always looking straight at you. [17:18] IsambardPrince The rocket launcher is more powerful on the SNES, not because he was trying to do that, but because he was looking at what Doom did on the PC and trying to approximate it. [17:18] IsambardPrince The monsters all share movement code. If they can see you they're trying to rush you. [17:19] IsambardPrince He said that on Nightmare mode, nobody told him that the monsters are supposed to respawn, so on the SNES it's just another increased difficulty setting but they don't respawn. [17:19] IsambardPrince He said that's not a limitation of the console and he could have implemented it if someone mentioned it at the time. [17:20] IsambardPrince Nightmare just means the monsters are faster and do more damage and have more HP. [17:20] bms the hatred of the imp. [17:21] IsambardPrince Another difference is SNES Doom doesn't have the exception for imps not being able to damage other imps. [17:21] bms they be CHEWIN' on the BOOMSTICK [17:21] IsambardPrince Although there's no infighting, if an imp fireball hits another imp, it causes damage. [17:22] IsambardPrince Another thing that makes it harder is because the resolution is lower and due to various differences in the engine, the Former Humans have an infinite hitscan range. [17:23] IsambardPrince So on open maps they can kill you even when you can't really see them. [17:23] IsambardPrince So can you beat SNES Doom? Yes, but it's not really Doom. [17:23] IsambardPrince It's another game that was made to look about like Doom. [17:29] MinceR 21 181228 < IsambardPrince> Yes, but Nintendo themselves did coprocessors inside the cartridge sometimes. [17:29] MinceR yes, but the people who couldn't afford a 486 PC with 4MB RAM and VGA couldn't have afforded a cartridge with a microcontroller that was even more powerful than that (plus it didn't even exist yet) [17:30] MinceR 21 182110 < IsambardPrince> Another difference is SNES Doom doesn't have the exception for imps not being able to damage other imps. [17:31] MinceR that exception applies to all projectile-using monsters, iirc [17:31] MinceR the real exception is hell knights and barons of hell not being able to damage each other with theirs, iirc [17:40] IsambardPrince Doom SNES used the SuperFX 2 chip in the cartridge itself. [17:40] IsambardPrince Even with that extra co-processor it did not look good and only ran at 10 fps. [17:40] IsambardPrince It was not designed to go toe to toe with a fast 486. [17:40] IsambardPrince It was designed to make games like Starfox or Yoshi's Island work. [17:41] IsambardPrince MinceR, The SNES with tthe SuperFX and its own version of a Doom engine was still worse than a 386 SX laptop CPU. [17:41] IsambardPrince I know because I had such a system. [17:42] MinceR yeah, and the SuperFX 2 wasn't powerful enough for the job [17:42] IsambardPrince The main problem playing Doom wasn't the 386 SX or the 4 MB of system RAM. [17:42] MinceR plus it probably didn't have enough RAM [17:42] IsambardPrince It was the monochrome LCD monitor that was ghosting. [17:42] IsambardPrince The refresh rate was acceptable to run Microsoft Office 6 on Windows 3.1. [17:43] IsambardPrince Not for playing Wolfenstein 3d or Doom. [17:43] MinceR maybe it could have used an external monitor [17:43] IsambardPrince It actually could! [17:44] IsambardPrince I grabbed a VGA monitor and played Doom on it. [17:44] MinceR :) [17:44] IsambardPrince It still wasn't the best system for Doom, but that solved the main problem. [17:46] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [17:46] IsambardPrince The 486 SX ran it fine. [17:46] IsambardPrince Can't recall the clock speed. I want to say 25 Mhz maybe? [17:47] IsambardPrince It had 8 MB RAM and an ISA Sound Blaster. [17:48] MinceR nice [17:49] IsambardPrince PCs used to be so expensive you upgraded them as you ran into another need. Because it was cheaper to just add or replace parts as you went. [17:49] IsambardPrince That HP 6343 we got in 1998 was a good example. [17:49] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [17:50] IsambardPrince It started with 32 MB RAM, an AMD K6/2 3000, a 4 GB hard disk, motherboard audio, a winmodem, and no 3d accelerator. [17:50] IsambardPrince *300 [17:50] IsambardPrince Ended up with 256 MB RAM, K6/2 550, 20 GB hard disk, a Sound Blaster PCI, a Zoom hardware modem, and a PCI Voodoo 2 card. [17:51] IsambardPrince Yes, the thing had a lot of PCI ports. [17:51] IsambardPrince And it ran all of that without taxing the original power supply, which never failed as long as I used the computer. [17:52] IsambardPrince The program that gutted Windows 98 and removed the crap and fluff (IE+MSHTML, Outlook Express, 20-30 other things) pared down Windows 98 quite a lot. [17:52] IsambardPrince IIRC, the Windows folder used less than 100 MB on disk after that was done. [17:52] IsambardPrince And most programs still ran as long as they didn't need IE for something. [17:53] IsambardPrince WinHLP still worked, but the Help Files that required MSHTML didn't. [17:54] IsambardPrince Winmodems were nasty. They siphoned off CPU time to handle dial up internet and slowed everything down. The entire computer froze for a couple seconds when it picked up the phone line to start dialing. And they did not have Linux drivers, usually. [17:56] IsambardPrince In theory, they had one advantage. If the hardware manufacturer wanted to, they could replace the original driver and upgrade your modem to the latest 56K protocol, but the company that did ours never did upgrade it to v.90, so 56k support relied entirely on the ISP supporting X2 or K56Flex. [17:56] IsambardPrince Both of those were proprietary and support on the ISP side wasn't guaranteed. But in practice they usually supported it. [17:58] IsambardPrince Like everything else that implied that it was "designed for Windows" that was the warning it wasn't very good. [17:58] IsambardPrince In modern times, that still applies. [17:59] IsambardPrince Things like UEFI firmware, Nvidia cards, etc. ● Sep 21 [18:00] IsambardPrince UEFI was basically designed by people who invented a list of problems to solve, didn't solve them right, made things worse, and blindly copied over most of the pre-existing problems. [18:00] IsambardPrince Nobody was ever going to sit down and write a new power management system for UEFI, from scratch, that worked right. [18:01] IsambardPrince So they copied code over verbatim that has was already almost 20 years old. [18:01] IsambardPrince And then it continued to age poorly and sprawl.

They said it was a browser designed to free up resources for your games. [18:06] IsambardPrince You could just do what I've done for the last 30 years. [18:06] IsambardPrince Close the web browser while the game is running. [18:06] IsambardPrince :) [18:07] IsambardPrince In modern times you have no idea what the browser will do, but they're a resource hog. [18:08] IsambardPrince They'll start running something that slows the CPU down, or sit there using half your system memory which could be holding game resources. [18:08] IsambardPrince The only things that slow your gaming down worse than having an open web browser with a lot of tabs are running it on Windows, and having an antivirus program that decides to start a scan in the middle of your game. [18:08] IsambardPrince Both of which can be avoided by not using Windows. [18:09] IsambardPrince You can hover over individual browser tabs in Vivaldi, and get a report of how much memory a tab is using, or if it has been hibernated to save RAM. [18:10] IsambardPrince 300-700 MB per browser tab isn't unusual. [18:10] IsambardPrince I usually shout "Pigs in SPAAAAAAACE!" if I see a really bad one. [18:10] IsambardPrince Like thhe muppet show.

[21:55] IsambardPrince Worse, Dual Core Enabled results in random freezes and "invalid opcode" errors. [21:56] IsambardPrince The optimizations that seem to be productive are GPU texture decode, load entire game into memory, Vulkan, and compile shaders before loading the game. [21:56] IsambardPrince Outside the emulator, you should also make sure you are running the Linux kernel with mitigations=off, and a distribution that has disabled the performance killing Intel GPU mitigations. [21:57] IsambardPrince There's one really nasty one that by itself can lower GPU performance by 27%. [21:57] IsambardPrince When the Battle of Hoth can fall to as little as 10-15 fps in some worst case situations for a few seconds, those CPU and GPU mitigations would make the game pretty much unplayable. [21:58] IsambardPrince Instead of a gamemode service, try closing down all other applications, especially web browsers. ● Sep 21 [22:00] IsambardPrince It's unlikely that load entire game into memory will do much unless you're running it off of a HDD. [22:00] IsambardPrince It could also backfire on low memory situations. The oom-killer will definitely target something that has a 1.2 GB ISO loaded. [22:02] IsambardPrince It's almost always a web browser, or at least a tab process. [22:02] IsambardPrince But I've also had it target an IRC client [22:11] IsambardPrince MinceR, Given what Randy Linden had to work with it's surprising "Doom" on the SNES happened at all. [22:11] IsambardPrince Nintendo didn't really help much. [22:11] MinceR indeed [22:11] IsambardPrince He had to figure out how the SuperFX 2 chip worked as he went along. [22:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, He wrote code for the SNES mouse and then gave up and disabled it but left it there.
