Comment on Sony is losing exclusives as their games get ported to PC with AI
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 15 hours agoWhat I’ve seen are posts like these floating around. I haven’t done much emulation lately, but aspect ratio and frame rate adjustments don’t sound new to me, nor do background shader compilations. It also sounds like the functionality can often be unreliable and difficult for a human to get in there and fix, unlike a “proper” decompilation that we’ve seen so much of out of the N64 scene.

Ultrawide is a different thing - you have to adjust camera parameters to make it work good. Frame Rate adjustments also depend on the Game Engine - there are probably still a lot of games out there that link physics with frame rate (especially on consoles), so just ramping up FPS will break your game. This can be avoided if you have code you can actually modify.
I am sure that manual de/recompilations are easier to modify, but it’s also more work - not a bit more work, but years of work in many cases.

If it’s doing what you need it to do, knock yourself out. But my expectations from those more familiar with this scene are to not expect to get every benefit you normally would just because a PS3 game has been packaged up as an .exe. In many cases, it may be limited by the emulator it’s been created out of.
