Quoting: dvd

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääMaybe an all new type of era is dawning upon us and proprietary drivers are going away... Freedom seems to be the direction on all sectors now. Which is amazing and interesting! Even natural?

With a PSP sitting in on every new x86 processor, i think there is even less freedom now. It is the ultimate blob.
With the old blobs you were at least able to not to include them in your system if you were ok with performance loss. With the PSP, you can't even boot/run without it.

psp ??

" Really great to see more Japanese titles make their way to Linux, let's hope we get more!"
its not an ordinary japanese title, its one of the most famous.
its not every rpg maker game (or visual novel) that make enough sucess to become an anime!

"Run them at your own risk, I am simply copying them from the Feral FAQ to make it simple. For me, I haven’t had any issues using them."
those configs are fine, i use it since... i cant remember 2011? to play full hd videos on my old notebook.

you said that you dust off your old hard drive to test the performance on windows, but you forgot to tell the I/O speed of both hard drives.

in any case, its a shame that they couldnt make one of those ports that perform better than the windows version, it may not be an issue on your HW since you got more than 60FPS, but on a weaker hardware, it may be the difference between playable and not playable.
i understand that they have an small team/budget compared to the windows version, its not linux fault but it lay people will not see as that.

there are tons of free games like that (if you count flash...)
i apreciate that the dev support us and i know that an indie dev dont have all the resources of the world at disposal to invest on his game, but i rather donate £2.09 for an project like godot or blender than buy it.
(yes i could do both, but there are tons of proprietary games that i'm already planing to buy, and so little that i'm doing for the FLOSS that i cant consider buying it)

in any case i wish good luck for the dev.

that is very bad.
now they can at the same time promote some games because they are paid to do it, not because its good..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxR9ek176LQ

and sell it.

its too much power for an single company.
i didnt trusted ign before, and did trusted humble bundle as well as planned to buy some stuff on it.

now i dont know what to do...

Quoting: kuwangerWhich isn't the topic at hand. The topic at hand is a claim that Atlus fears bad representation of Persona 5 because of a bad emulator. Obviously they could patch the emulator as an option

yeah, someone decided to make our game work in some platform that it shouldnt supose to, so lets help then and get nothign in return.

if you made an game for android and someone try to port your game without your consent and Q/A would you work for then for free in order to make sure the quality is good?
that dont make any sense, generate an expense for the company without any revenue.

Quoting: kuwangerWhether they would rather, in some fantasy, that the emulator not exist isn't really relevant. Nor that they can, regardless of the emulator, make a port of the game

as i said they might be waiting for an exclusivity deal to finish or soemthig like that.

Quoting: kuwangerRPCS3 is licensed GPLv2 and short of some degree of incredible stupidity (like merging a substantial part of the Persona 5 code base into the emulator) would there be any need to release said code if said emulator were released.

they will use the emulator as an launcher for the game, and probably hide all the unecessary stuff as sega did with their emulators on steam:

so the licence aplies:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
"b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License."

Quoting: kuwangerAgain, we're talking about RPCS3 here. Or are you citing a specific example in the past where someone was commercial pirating Atlus SNES games on the PS2?

cant you extrapolate an example?
dammit, if someone where stupid enough to not notice that the game he/she were playing were not an native PS2 game, why the hell do you think that everyone who plays persona5 on an pc, would know its not an native game?

Quoting: kuwangerWell, selling NES games for $39.99 each is probably not going to fly for pirates. Yet bundling 30 games for $58.99 was rather effective.

yes, lets compare games that were made by teams of 1~3 persons in the 8 bit era with games made by over 200.
games that by the time costed a few thousand to make (counting inflation) to games that cost millions.
lets make a bundle of 30 games that are few years old because nintendo did an bundle with games that are 30 years old.
are you stupid?

Quoting: kuwangerThe only valid argument, then, is a fear of retribution from Sony for a perfectly legal act over fictitious claims? Yes, that

and fear that sony will not make future exlcusivity deals with then?
fear that they cant make games for ps3 anymore since they can be emulated and pirated now?

Quoting: kuwangerIn the case of the NES mini, it literally couldn't sell more because Nintendo sold out.

why do you think nintendo understimated the number of NEs minis they could sell?
and that harmed their pockets since they could make more nes minis to save more on economic of scale.

Quoting: kuwangerPeople also said Amazon would be a failure, BSD is dying, and no would ever pay for <insert popular product here>

hell, im not saying that piracy will kill an certain product, but it affect the sales, it can harm the sales

Quoting: kuwanger(1) The Nintendo Mini was meant to be something of a limited edition collectors item and

that is why they are making it again? i dont think so.
if its aimed at collectors only they would keep it rare, collectors rely on their procut being scarce thave any value.

Quoting: kuwangerHence, we see tons of games that are not available on Linux because the cost to support Linux is greater than the perceived risk of the cost of porting.

do you really want to compare 1% of an market with 90%?

hell even with 90% of the marketshare windows had problems to be an sustainable ecosystem for games, valve saved it.
now that the windows ecosystem is profitable for games everythird party is porting their games, except the ones who are paid to not do it.

"So Atlus should work to make the emulator better, given it's open source?"
if they want an proper port, its pointless to use an emulator, they have the source code of the game and can port then selfes.
on the other hand, using an emulator might get then into trouble, like having to relase the source code of the game because they bundled it with an open source emulator (depending on the licence of the emulator and how they are merged togheter) or sony say this move as they promoting piracy.

"Nor really a lot of games. So, yea, not only is RPCS3 not perfect but it's so far from perfect that no reasonable person would make the mistake and put the blame on Atlus."
there are some kids who purchased snes emulators for playstatio 2 without realizing they arent native games, so, yes, reasonable people might do just that, think its atlus fault when it isnt.
a lot of people arent really tech savy.

"Yep, that obvious explains the success of the Wii VC line. Or the NES Mini and SNES Mini. Oh, right. Not everyone is a pirate. And even many pirates will go legit if there's sufficiently benefit to them vs the cost."
nice IF there, sufficiently like what?
saying that NES mini sold a lot dont mean that it wouldnt sell even more if it werent for piracy.
i saw a lot of people on my countring complaining that its stupid for Nintendo to try to sell an emulator when they can get one for free (ignoring that they are pirating because nintendo made money on those games already years ago)
and Nintendo itself understimated the demand for Nes mini, probably due to the piracy.

"It could be just as well they felt Sony consoles was where the fan base was. "
so why they are complaining about their games being on pc due to emulators?
i dont see any sane company not porting their games because they think they cant expand their public by publishing in more platforms unless they are paid to think that way, or an really niche game.

Quoting: slaapliedjeTry to play on the nerds who most likely ended up using Linux and loved the 2600.

i dont think they are even trying to target the linux users, we already have our pcs to play, they are more likely targeting Atari fans (if there are any left after the disater of they trying to launch remakes of their classic games)
