The Socks-Out: Sleeping is mission impossible.

[Raype]

You know that I mean porting a console exclusive game, and without the source .

I know, I just felt like being a smartass.

As I was signing in today, I saw this ad in the lower right corner: "Who will you marry? Get your psychic reading now!"

Yup, they sure know the kind of people who use this site. Ad money well spent.

Oh boy, who will I marry!

404 error.

Steam has finished downloading Team Fortress 2.

What? Again?

It'd be impossibly to start the project nowadays without the hardware to run it.

A major part of creating code is, y'know, running it.

A theoretical project isn't going to go anywhere without some actual work being done. You can write all the formulas and simple proof of concept code you want. If you can't do anything with it you might as well be sitting around with your thumb up your ass.

Yeah, there's definitely computers that could run a PS3 emulator. Hell some of us here could probably do it. IN THEORY anyway.

But I doubt the code would be anywhere near what it'd need to be in order for some serious progress to be made for quite a while. Remember how long it took the PS2 guys to even crank out those 5FPS videos? And those weren't running on low tier shit either.

A lot of the work on those emulators happened after technology got far enough ahead of the PS2 that emulation wasn't a serious issue. Surprise, it's not laziness on the part of the creators. It's often a technological hurdle.

You could run one, if you had a server motherboard (multiple cpu slots), and equivalent CPUs designed for servers. You would spend less on a PS3 and games than you would on hardware required for an emulator.

thats precisiley my point, he doesnt seem to understand the concept of emulation and the coding that goes into it, now im not an expert but i know that even the ps1 emulator has 1000's of lines of coding

Most anything does.

[Bennieboi20]

Most anything does.

i know that but im just making a comparrision between what hes saying to how much the ps1 emulator needed to run at first compared to what will be required for the hundreds of thousands of lines that you will most likely need for a ps3 emu, as i said im not an expert in coding

That too.

Ha ha, Alienware guy.

ePSXe comes to about 517kb.

Or roughly 529 408 characters. The standard for coding tends to be somewhere around 72 CPL (although thanks to modern computing and high resolution screens being prevalent, it's often higher). That's about 7300 lines of code.

And the coding part isn't even the difficult part. It's the stuff leading up to it that's pretty complicated.

Why the fuck people need the goddamned necessity to send me Xbox Live Party invites.

No, asshole, I don't want to talk to you. Let's just play. Or not, since I don't have Black Ops.

I fucking regret renting Black Ops.

I could do it....When I get a better processor and video card.
And to be more accurate, more like around 2049
Idoiotic person is idiotic.

lol you sure know your stuff ray im not a coder im a more practical guy i can name most parts of a pc if you like?

There'll be a fully functioning PS3 emulator before 2025.

And a semi functional one by 2020.

But I really doubt this guy knows enough about what he's proposing to be responsible for either.

boom thats what i proposed 2020 to have A emulator that you can play some games on
