The feral, passionate coders are the true heroes.

tbh the wonders of the Feral PC Army include several groups writing console emulators. I am successfully running: Wii, Wii U, Switch, OG Xbox and PS3 emulators as we speak. I understand Xbox 360 and PS4 are also out there, but I haven't got 'round to them yet.

Interestingly, a lot of media for these emulators is just kind of laying around on the internet for anybody to download.

It's kinda funny to me because the OG Xbox is what I still use for emulation. Mine has a 2 TB HDD and runs XBMC (what eventually became Kodi). I love that thing and it is still my media server as well. Having to use FTP is a little annoying in the modern day, and it has gotten hard to find disc's to burn to it, but it still runs like a champ.

Wow that's impressive. The thing was built like a brick. I had one back in the day and had several games (all of which I downloaded and am running for the nostalgia hit).

One game I found I never knew existed is Tron 2.0. I can't believe I never even heard of this game, I would have been all about it. The nice thing about the emulator is it has an upscaler and games in HD are absolutely dynamite, especially Tron 2.0.

360 might be the single most buggy emulator I play. Shit runs on thoughts and prayers

We do have decomps in the pipes apparently for those exclusives that keep me hopeful. Fable 2 has one halfway running as of I think a few months ago.

So it the perfect Xbox 360 emulator?

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago

Oh damn they coded the random red ring of death into an emulator? That's really cool. I wonder how they can emulate the euphoric and absolutely not infuriating experience of scratching a disc for no apparent reason.

There are also competing digital market spaces. You can only buy through Sony on PlayStation.

for everyone on everything

Every Windows user on every x86-64 PC?

Not post-Windows users using Linux or macOS, the latter of which are ARM64 machines.

So, not everyone and not everything.

Where's the feral passion in getting off Microsoft's tit?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago

Wine, Proton, rosetta 2...

Mac and Linux have pretty decent Windows-only game availability.

[-] morto@piefed.social 47 points 16 hours ago

Also, on pc, anyone who wants a physical media are free to create them as they please (assuming no drm or piracy, of course)

[-] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 31 points 16 hours ago

GoG is the best place for offline installers

Oh really? Then where is my pirated version of Marvel Heroes?

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 36 points 13 hours ago

I mean, it has to be worth cracking in the first place.

[-] tixooo@lemmy.zip 9 points 12 hours ago

Boooom hahahah

2009scape as one example

[-] MissyBee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

I dont even have a disk drive on my self build PC and my next Laptop won't have either. I let other people built physical media storages. And some of em put them on torrent/Usenet/etc.
