... and ran super smooth, except F-ZeroGX kept crashing. :(

TheFirstClassic4157d ago

You can play mario kart online now? Thats something else. Wish my pc could run dolphin well. I usually have to stick to the n64 and ps1 games. One day ill get a better gaming pc...

guitarded774157d ago

I really want to try Dolphin, but it seems a bit complicated just to play some games... and I'm a computer scientist. Is it open source with code available? It's be nice if someone optimized it and gave it a friendly UI. Anyway, from what I've seen... it looks amazing. Maybe I'll look into it when I have some free time.

TooTall194157d ago

Yeah I'd like to play Windwaker on Dolphin, but I'm very cautious about what I put on my gaming pc.

Workshyskiver4157d ago

It is pretty simple and easy to use to be honest, give it a go there is always guides on YouTube if you get stuck but there is nothing complicated about using it.

LAWSON724156d ago

I completely agree with this guy. I got everything to work on the first go.

pr0digyZA4157d ago

I would say once you get it up and running, you'll look back and wonder why it seemed daunting. I also took a while to take the plunge but now Im playing windwaker/twilight princess and xenoblade and they look amazing.

TheFirstClassic4156d ago

I know next to nothing about computers and got it running on my pc with no trouble. Doesnt run well but I got it running. Go to coolrom, downloade the emulator and extract the file. You will see the application icon in the selected files, click on that to open dolphin. When you download games, you also have to extract them, and again, coolrom is a great site to go to. You can configure a controller in the settings. Pretty easy to use tbh.

ThanatosDMC4156d ago (Edited 4156d ago )

Yeah, just use a guide. Their own website has links to them. My only problem is my computer crashes after playing Wind Waker for 15-30 minutes. I wanted to record my gameplay but then I blue screened so it scared me. The emulator works but it's not agreeing with something in my computer.

Helldivers 2 Dev Wants It To Be Available Worldwide, Restrictions Are From PlayStation & Not Steam

The lack of worldwide availability of Arrowhead Studios' Helldivers 2 on Steam is due to restrictions from PlayStation, not Valve.

To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.

There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.

Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.

There's literally almost 170 countries and mentioned 3, and Taliban banned PUBG only, do you seriously think that these countries that had games all this time, suddenly decided to ban games when Sony wanted to put PSN as a restriction

anast33m ago

Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.

Why Xbox believes it must cut costs and close studios

Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.

i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.

its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.

Jingsing30m ago

This is exactly what many people said would happen including the CMA and FTC. Lies lies and more lies and they allowed a $69 billion buy out to happen.

gold_drake22m ago

oh yeh it was 70 billion. that was my bad haha even worse.

thesoftware73019m ago(Edited 15m ago)

gold,

You can't be serious, right?

Do you think that MS thought they would make 80bill in a year & Half? They haven't even released titles under MS yet, lol.

But in fact, that A/B revenue is already paying off, look at the last earnings call. That $80 billion is long-term money, my guy, no sane person/company would think they would make that back in any short-term situation, it's a long-term investment.

Let's play silly then. If MS's reason for laying off staff and closing studios was due(which it really was not) to the A/B deal, tell me what Sony's reason was for past studio closures, the recent 900-person layoffs, closing Sony London, shutting down Dreams, and closing Japan Studio? Zipper? Psygnosis? cuts at all their internal studios.

Keep in mind, you are claiming MS's reason is because of the A/B deal; please explain Sony's reason.

Hofstaderman11m ago

You actually still defending them? Sheesh.....

gold_drake9m ago

this is not a sony vs MS debate. dont make it something it isnt.

and of course not, but im pretty sure they thought they'd make more money after the deal. they didnt, and closed off some studios.

its pretty insane to think there is any other reason for the closure of studios in this case.

romulus232m ago(Edited 2m ago)

(It really was) due to the Activision Blizzard deal and the loss of physical sales due to gamepass. You keep bringing up Sony in all your posts about this, stop deflecting and trying to change the topic, this is about MS and what they are doing.

anast31m ago

They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.

Skuletor21m ago

Maybe they were already using AI to make business decisions, which would explain why they closed Hi-Fi Rush's studio, then said they need more games like Hi-Fi Rush not long after that announcement.
