Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

So for those who are PC savy, this is some next-level dumb-ass shit here

Recap for the console peasants
So you can properly run PS3 Emulation, you are disabling the Specter/Meltdown patches on the microcode of your Intel CPU so you can emulate the PS3 correctly? At this point, why not just get a PS3?

Just fill all your ethernet ports with Epoxy now, remove your Wifi card, and never, ever go online with your PC, ever.

You still managed to say a whole lot of nothing for us “console peasants.” Try again PC Mustard Race.

I figured you fail to grasp it. Reading at a 3rd grade level too hard for you?

No, I just don’t know what a specter/meltdown patch is you self important moron. Dunno what they are, what they do, or how they help with PS3 emulation. You’ve explained nothing, hence my post.

No, but reading grammar as if it were written by a 3rd grader can be difficult to decipher at times.

So you going to dismiss the whole post as you are willfully ignorant.
Sounds on par with you.

To put it simply, meltdown and spectre are CPU exploits that can steal data from running programs through the system memory. These programs are a nasty bit of work and has been hell for anyone rocking an intel chip.

Remake 2, DMC V, Sekiro and Death Stranding are my GotY’s so far. I really need to play Ion Maiden, I have way too much shit I want to play and an ever increasing back log.

I want those PS4 themes…but I also want that steelbook.

I agree. What is there to play on the PS3 anyway that would require you to need to do all that work for emulators besides just buying it second hand? MGS4? The one version of Killzone?

But then again some folk just use emulators because they are cheap and think the world owes them everything free or half off.

I can see if your hobby is programing, and you are trying to write a Emulator for the PS3.
But to run a PS3 emulator? At this point a used Slim model PS3 is about $100, so there little need to actually emulate the PS3

No, thats why i asked you to try again retard. I just did it with the same condescension you used in your original post when I asked. Come on man.

Off the top of my head my goty are Sekiro, DMCV, RE2Make, and Bloodstained.

The Red Hero…

To explain from the top, for the village idiot @Radiantsilvergun3

Specter and Meltdown are names of exploits that can let a user (hacker) from the internet in and run their own code on your computer. The exploits are apart of the physical hardware of all x86 architecture Intel processors (almost every single Intel CPU ever made), for Intel to unfuck this on their end they have to redesign the chip physically from the ground up and this takes time.

Fortunately there some software fixes that mitigate the exploits. Mostly it Patches to the Operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, ect). There also a little but of reflashing going on some firmware.

Hackers to get their PS3 Emulation on their PC’s with Intel Processors to work better, they are intentionally undoing the exploits patches.

The issue is if you undo theses patches, you are just opening your system up to get broken into.
Unless, you of course never ever go online with your Emulation PC.
And if you going to get a top of the line PC to be a dedicated PS3 Emulation station, it would make more sense to just buy an actual PS3.

Sure would be nice if a port of Vanquish showed up on Switch…juuuuust sayin

Nindie showcsse incoming tomorrow

That leak from 4 years ago came true, lol.

All that’s left to come over are the Treasure games on the Xbox 360 and I’m set.

Wish Vanquish was coming to Switch, though.

To late man, Hawkingbird already explained it, and without being a condecending douchebag about it.
