  • UltraHLE was a game changer in how we could think about emulation at the time. They avoided a large part of emulation by just swapping out some generic N64 API’s that a lot of Nintendo built titles all used for PC specific ones. It allowed for great performance but also made it basically only work on those titles without a lot of work.

    Nowadays Proton/FEX translation layers work in a similar fashion. You don’t simulate the whole system or OS, just the key parts and then swap out the API’s.

    I was running UltraHLE on a Pentium 2 450Mhz with a Voodoo 2, so 800x600 was perfectly fine but that was basically the idea setup for the time.



  • Yep, when folks like Jordan Peterson were pushing that agenda, that is how you know it must be important. Live your life as an inverse Peterson.

    He did likes trans people, you like them. He eats nothing but meat, you never eat it. He praises right wing folks, you probably shouldn’t. Also don’t go on Joe Rogan.
