I wonder too, DMA plays a huge role in most older gaming consoles when the CPUs were far more sluggish.
Perhaps that's what made them think to try.
Perhaps the current batch of smart memory cards which on the PS2 I believe have quite complex DMA capabilities to stream from the SD card game data.
- charcircuit 8mo agoWhy not the PS5? That's when games started streaming assets straight from the NVME SSD to the GPU. In this case the assets are weights.
- xaskasdf 8mo agoActually I'm thinking about buyin an AMD BC-250 that's bassically a ps5 with pcie factor format; and it's linux capable by default, maybe next month
- rustyhancock 8mo agoJust because he mentioned retro gaming. Otherwise DMA is everywhere. In the PS5 case since it uses unified memory it's not quite the same as say an GBA streamed from a flash cart to video RAM.
