The standards I applied are not some subjective "good level" but bsnes-level. The way Near intended. The one game I am aware of and keep checking is "Wonder Project J2 - Koruro no Mori no Jozet". Broken in both Ares and

N64 is (still) poorly understood. Traditionally, emulators relied heavily on HLE. Low-level efforts are recent and not mature. The miSTer core for N64 (and ModRetro's M64 core effort by the same person) and Ares N64 support are the onl

m88k is an ISA primarily designed by Mitch Alsup. Mitch Alsup has extensive experience in ISA design, has participated (tangentially) in informing RISC-V design process. Recently, he's designed my66000, an interesting, fresh take at a

This is the good side. The not so good side is that getting a RVA23 development board this year with an usable size of RAM (for e.g. compiling and linking large code bases) is not going to be cheap.

I was surprised to find that ECC modules available were 24 or 48, so 128GB with 2 sticks was impossible. While I was aiming at 128, I settled for 96GB, because any more than 2 sticks means a sharp drop in RAM clocks this generation.

>Maths (then algorithms aka software), data design, etc, should be excluded from patent scope. So should ISAs. Interoperability should trump all. I expect as RISC-V takes off, we will see the legacy ISA owners engage an ugly legal fight

This confirms it is not enough for open codecs to exist. Proprietary codecs need to be vanished outright. Stop all use and remove support from websites, browsers and such (exception for e.g. ffmpeg for preservation). Require open codecs eve

I am glad I decisively ordered 96GB (2x48) DDR5 ECC back in June, alongside the 9800x3d. I hope this is still enough for the planned upgrade to Zen7 in 2028.

If it is a new tool, why not call it something else than sudo? The expectation with sudo is silent passwords.

We got the much superior jack two years before pulseaudio was even a thing. Pulseaudio was a derail of Linux audio. We could have skipped it entirely.

XLibre exists simply because you can't just "force X11 to die" (Xorg's strategy) for as long as someone is willing to work on it. Now, there is a group of people who actively hate on XLibre sorely because it pretty much

DD floppies. Amiga's track format got 880KB out of these. Notably, this is one game that needed RAM expansion on A500, would not work with just the builtin 512KB. C64 can cheat via cartridge mapper.

The question being, how does it have anything to do with the US? The article fails to explain this. It instead appeals to emotion.

From 2017, it predates RISC-V first ratified spec. Currently, RISC-V holds the crown of code density in both 64 and 32 bit. On 32bit, thumb2 is a little behind. On 64bit, x86-64 is not even close, and ARMv8/v9 are even worse.

In absence of better data, we have to compare compiler output.

>Code size is a benefit for x86-64 however Except it isn't. Code isn't one single pattern repeating again and again; on large enough bodies of code, RISC-V is the most dense, and it's not even close.

Then you stick to RVA23, which is comparable to ARMv9 and x86-64v4.

Note this is only an issue if not using IPv6. CGNAT is for access to legacy IPv4 only.

There's reason RV32E and RV64E, with half the registers, are a thing. RV32I/RV64I isn't small enough. There are many chips in the market that do embed 8051s for janitorial tasks, because it is small and not legally encumbered
