This argument isn’t necessarily true, and is one of the reasons why the Xbox 360 couldn’t support backwards compatibility for the original Xbox . The hardware required, for the overhead of emulation was larger than the gap between the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox performance. Eventually they had to recompile from 86 to power PC
- rbanffy 3y agoI was half joking. My personal experience with both WSL1 and Cygwin, which offer a Linux-like varnish on top of a Windows environment, is that mapping Linux filesystem semantics on top of NTFS result in a sizeable performance hit. Not enough to make them unusable, of course, but enough perceive. When Wine does the same, mapping NTFS semantics on top of ext4, there is no such hit - on the contrary, if feels faster.
- water9 3y agoYea why is windows so opposed to even reading alternative formats like EXT4? It annoys the heck out of me when multi-billion dollar companies can't provide basic features of compatibility because someone is trying to make a buck on licensing. That's such a myopic approach as opposed to giving it away for free in order to get a more valuable commodity - users.
