      All consoles are basically a purpose built computer.
      NES was not much more than a slightly customized 6502 CPU with a custom PPU.
      The master system a Z80, Genesis a 68000+Z80
      All of these are the basis of very popular computer systems of that day.
      The main differences were that they are essentially a stripped to absolute minimum system to make the systems affordable and profitable.
      Microsoft was the first popular system to use an actual intel based instructions set CPU in the original Xbox. The biggest difference between the Xbox and a pc of the time was how the memory was managed and shared between the CPU and IGP.
      As we can extrapolate from these various emulators, much of the code is integrated and optimized from other emulator projects, CPU arcade boards etc.
      So really none of this is new.
      It's just the optimizations, accuracy, and the ability to emulate so many non platform native architectures so well.

      And in that case I'd just buy a gaming laptop and get amazing 4K emulation on all these 6th and 7 th gen consoles the big three finally successfully pushed me back to PC because everything on console got so watered down and lack originality to point of "why bothered?"
      The only selling point they have right now is the ease of use and exclusive games which atm only two companies have and one are basically a consolized PC on subscription service with no unique content of its own.
      I'll eventually buy a PS5 purely because they still honor physical media and they have their own VR headset.

  • @TXFDA
    @TXFDA ปีที่แล้ว +17

    It's on Retail too, by the way. The thing that sucks, is that the emulators are getting removed from the store really fast after being added. Apparently, at one point, they were even getting removed daily. Gamr13 decided to only re-submit/upload them again once a week. The biggest downside for me, is that since they're getting re-uploaded to the store, they're always considered separate apps. Meaning you don't get updates. If you want a more up-to-date version of the emulator, you have to download the whole app again, and copy all of your config files, boxart covers, bios files, and memory cards over from the old app to the new one.
    There also doesn't seem to be an easy way to tell which version of the emulator you're using, or which version is currently being uploaded to the store. Meaning you don't actually know when you should be trying to update to a new version.
    Here's a small tip: I can't personally find a way to make new Memory Cards in XBSX2. But what you CAN do, is download PCSX2 on your PC and make a bunch of blank 32mb memory cards, and just copy those cards over to XBSX2. Way better than using the default 8mb cards. I currently have 5 32mb cards on my XBSX2, 1 being used right now, and 4 extra empty ones.
    Also, fair warning: If you have a slower, and older External Hard Drive that you're running your PS2 games off of, there's gonna be some freezing. It'll freeze every so often for about a second or two, then go back to running fine again. It's just the Hard Drive being a bit slow. Buying a faster newer one should solve that issue. I only mention it, because I couldn't figure out why mine were doing that, and it took an annoying amount of googling and asking on TH-cam before I finally got an answer.
    And not EVERY game is gonna run perfect. Most games I've tried, run fine in Hardware emulation mode, with upscaled graphics and everything. But SOME games here and there, need to be switched to Software, and those can't be upscaled to look nicer, you're stuck with the original PS2 resolution. But they at least work. I've only come across 1 game so far that I can't get working at full speed, that being Juiced. I can get it to run between 45-50 FPS at best, setting it to DX12 mode.

    Woah, how have you gotten GT4 without polygon glitches in hardware rendering mode? I've just been playing the licenses, but the cars have awful flickering polygons that only disappear in software mode.
    Unless I'm a minor version behind on the emulator, and it was fixed the last couple of weeks 🤔

      Okay yes, the problem has gone away, woohoo! So pleased. Gran Turismo 4(K) for the win! 😍🤩

    Even though I don't have one, I really like these Xbox series S emulation videos! Thanks for the updates

    The Dev also had a port of Duckstation that was removed. I still have it installed and I'm not removing it. Thank Gamer13 for these constant ports

    I'd love to see a comparisson of XBSX2 and AetherSX2 in terms of performance, assuming there are any at all, considering they're both forked from stenzek's PCSX2 UWP package.

      Sony doesn't want people playing older titles unless they're paying for them again (via ps premium for example). It's why they drag their feet on backwards compatibility.
