[05:07] IsambardPrince MinceR, I've been looking at an analysis of Doom SNES source code.
[05:08] IsambardPrince It looks good, although I have to say I'm surprised at how much stuff Linden looked into supporting, gave up on, and left in there but disabled it.
[05:08] IsambardPrince Probably not worth taking back out.
[05:10] IsambardPrince MinceR, The cartridge has support for being overwritten by a push update. The 2026 Doom SNES cartridge with the RPi chip.
[05:11] IsambardPrince So technically, since the engine is open source now, anyone who understands how it works could change it and push the update onto that cartridge.

[21:01] IsambardPrince The Android version of Dolphin seems to run well on my Chromebook with the exception of the joysticks on the xbox 360 controller do not work.
[21:01] IsambardPrince So that's a problem.
[21:02] IsambardPrince Even my Pixel 8 is probably fast enough to play Rogue Leader now but maybe not.
[21:02] IsambardPrince The problem with that game in particular is that Factor 5 had to do so much nasty stuff to make it run well on the actual console.
[21:04] IsambardPrince The console had 40 MB of RAM, which wasn't horrible, but Nintendo divided it into two pools.
[21:04] IsambardPrince 24 MB was lighning fast and was meant to be where all the game except the audio was stored, then they had a separate pool of slower DRAM that was 16 MB intended for audio called ARAM.
[21:04] IsambardPrince The ARAM was not directly addressable by the main processor.
[21:14] IsambardPrince So Factor 5 had worked on porting their audio driver from their N64 titles and improving it for the Gamecube under a contract with Nintendo.
[21:14] IsambardPrince So they had a leg up that no third party developer did.
[21:15] IsambardPrince They knew exactly how the console worked and what you had to do to make ARAM addressable.
[21:16] IsambardPrince The Gekko CPU didn't have direct access but it could via a custom Paged MMU driver Factor 5 wrote and loaded into main memory as part of the game engine.
[21:16] IsambardPrince This still didn't let you use it as main memory, but you could use it as a RAM Drive and essentially a swap area.
[21:17] IsambardPrince So they would load things off the Mini Disc that might be needed soon into the ARAM, then they would page it over when it came into view so you didn't look at a Star Destroyer or something and have the game freeze up and stutter while it loaded the Star Destroyer off the Mini Disc.
[21:20] IsambardPrince Sequential read speeds of a Mini DVD are usually not a disaster, but when you need to seek to parts of the disc without knowing exactly what you might want, they become one.
[21:22] IsambardPrince Part of the Mini DVD format was practical. It made reading from disc faster than the DVD formats used by Xbox and PS2, and it made the Gamecube a lot smaller, but it also served other purposes. Like anti-piracy, because the optical drives consumers had at the time couldn't just dump the ISO.
[21:23] IsambardPrince I think the mistake Nintendo made with the Wii was the form factor and part of it was the "Wiimote". I mean, they could have just shipped it as a suped up Gamecube and people would have bought it. It was very similar in hardware. Mostly just faster clock speeds and more generally usable memory pools.
[21:24] IsambardPrince For compatibility, the first 24 MB pool is MEM1, and then when it's in Gamecube mode, only 16 MB of the 64 MB MEM2 is available as ARAM.
[21:24] IsambardPrince When in Wii mode, 24 MB MEM1 and 64 MB MEM2, same speed.

[21:40] IsambardPrince Nintendo does a lot of dumb things with their consoles them licenses the workarounds as part of the nexte version of the SDK from the developers who had to make something usable with that layout anyway.
[21:42] IsambardPrince Factor 5 rewrote the N64 audio drivers because the ones that come with the console don't need any space on the cartridge, but the sound quality is worse and they take up more system RAM.
[21:43] IsambardPrince So the workaround is bundle Factor 5's drivers from Rogue Squadron, pay another licensing fee for them, pay for a bigger cartridge, and then you save some system RAM and can use it for more game data.
[21:44] IsambardPrince Near the end, the games were running into so many RAM problems that they needed that driver and the Expansion Pak.
[21:44] IsambardPrince So you got games like Perfect Dark, but they were reaching the limits of the system.
[21:45] IsambardPrince Perfect Dark was the engine Rare wrote that was supposed to be for the James Bond game The World is Not Enough, but they lost the license to another game developer.
[21:45] IsambardPrince The Expansion Pak was supposed to be released for this Bond game.
[21:46] IsambardPrince The Expansion Pak's part number is NUS-007.
