Anbernic RG405M Performance Regression with version 1.5.1. of GammaOS (video.gamerstavern.online)
 

GammaOS version 1.5.1. has some real improvements over version 1.3.3. The ability to change performance modes with the touch-screen, rather than a button combination, being one of them. However, when playing higher-end consoles, there is a notable performance regression. In this video, that can be seen with both GameCube and PlayStation 2.

If you want to stick with consoles up to the PlayStation or Nintendo 64, the upgrade to version 1.5.1. is a no-brainer. For higher-end consoles, you may want to stick with version 1.3.3. and put up with a few inconveniences.

Performance mode was used in all tests. Dolphin 5.0-21395 was used for GameCube and NetherSX2 was used for PS2.

Have you experienced this performance regression?

I've also made a bug report over at https://github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOS/issues/169

How do you say SUSE? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Back in the days when it was first released, I'm sure I read that it should be pronounced "Susie". That's the way I've always said it.

Stay online with the Nintendo 3DS and WiiU after today! in c/retrogaming@kbin.social

It's debatable whether the Wii U should be considered to be part of "retro gaming". It's my most up-to-date console. Nevertheless, I think it's worth getting this info out there.

It's interesting to hear that the GammaOS developer has got his hands on one.

What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] k-tec@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I also remember the joy(!) of trying to work out which CD-ROM to insert for the package I wanted to install. Mostly trial and error.

Lets see. Debian since 1997... so 26 years. Back then you had to order 12 CDs through the post.
