    Playstation Classic - Inc 20 games

    So picked one up and got into the emulator menu to check metrics, because on paper this thing should be alot more potent than it's presenting. A Cortex A35@1.5GHz is not a weak CPU. With default settings the SoC tends to be at 30-40% load, and under speedhacks the CPU is set at 57% by default...

    GPD WIN 2

    To be fair they've expressed an interest in light of the Nintendo Switch. Based on their other timelines I wouldn't expect it until 2020-2021, at which point I would tend to expect a 7nm chip that would probably be powerful enough to handle what the Switch can with Passive instead of Active...

    GPD Pocket 2 Announced

    The trackpoint actually works amazingly well on the original Pocket. Its removal here, presumably in favor of the touch screen is a significant loss. The addition of a uSD card slot can however certainly be argued to be a significant gain, in addition to the more advanced chipset.

    New Atari Console Coming (Ataribox)?

    If Infogrames here sits in the corner facing the wall while Flex designs their AMD APU SBC, and the company formerly known as MOGA continues development on their controller I can see this reaching market with a minimum of teething issues with an install base of <100k, given the price for the BoM...

    GPD WIN 2

    Guys, the power brick is effectively propriety. Allow me to explain. This is the USB-C PD standard doc. You will note on page 471, that the USB-C PD protocol is designed to provide either a 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V source. Noteworthy in its absence is a 12V option. If you buy say a current Anker...

    GPD WIN 2

    As a low order number ~100 Indiegogo Backer I can verify that non-Japanese GPD Win 2s for IndieGogo have had their shipment request filed and are currently awaiting pick-up by DHL. I expect they will thus begin shipping out tomorrow.

    GPD Pocket

    A 2 Amp microUSB port can barely keep up with an Atom processor. Hence the Microsoft Surface 3 had a proprietary microUSB that powers at over 2 Amps, and GPD went USB-C.

    Sony PlayStation 5

    Streaming over the internet is and always has been a horrifyingly bad idea. Even without talking about the technical issues it's not really financially viable. Hence OnLive effectively going bankrupt while getting flooded with investor cash in a rapid flaming dumpster fire from 2010 to 2012...

    GPD Pocket

    Never had an issue with that on the Pocket. I did have issues with Updates failing to go through with my Win, the solution to which was to switch the stepping to the least aggressive and change the setting which ensures the RAM isn't undervolted. IIRC you need to reflash the BIOS on the Pocket...

    GPD WIN 2

    It sounds like you're using a USB 2.0 power source, which can't really keep up with a x7-8700 in a Surface 3 or as a source for GPD's handhelds. In my experience proper USB-C power sources are able to charge up GPD's handhelds at a very respectable rate while on and doing stuff, just like they...

    GPD WIN 2

    https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_flaw/ While not GPD's fault there's a bug in the proverbial ointment that just showed up. tl;dr: Basically security features associated with the security of kernel memory that should be handled on die will need to be handled in software...

    GPD WIN 2

    Well this is entertaining. So I looked up the publicly available numbers: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/hd_graphics_615 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_X1 And even in undocked mode on paper the single point and double point FLOPs throughput is in the Switch's favor. From what I...

    GPD WIN 2

    That's completely off topic for this thread, and way too many people are talking about that with no notion of what any of it actually means as opposed to propaganda. What happened is the 5 person FCC panel voted to reverse the re-classification of ISPs to Title II status back to Title I status...

    The SNES Classic Edition Is Real!

    Tend to agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games The system defining titles for the Nintendo 64, which Nintendo has easy access to the licensing for, have pretty much all been remade for Nintendo DS or 3DS. The titles owned by Rare have recently been re-released in the...

    GPD-WIN frequent blue screens

    Have you changed the CPU to C1 stepping, and tweaking the memory settings in the BIOS yet?

    E3 2017

    We really don't. It's effectively an RX 470/570 versus an RX 480/580. The only thing that kind of complicates those calculations is the Playstation Pro's sophisticated interlacing trick, but in principle that makes its effective render target 1440p versus 4K for the XBox One X. Ironically...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    Thanks, both the sfc and dicm commands will error off, and Windows Update will spool up but not actually execute the update. The chkdsk pass is clearing it, so I'm hoping a clean re-install will get it sorted.

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    My GPD Win has some issues with its windows install to the point the sfc is inoperable, and Windows Update is nonfunctional. Does anyone know the best place to get the driver packages for a reinstall? EDIT: Grabbing the bulk download from this and proceeding on...
