Maybe the SD2SNES Pro will bypass most of the SNES hardware, run Higan on the FPGA and only use the SNES hardware for the video & audio output connectors? /sarcasm

There are reports that Mozilla has withdrawn Firefox 65.0 because the current release is Causing Certificate Errors for people who use certain antimalware packages like Avast, AVG, and Kaspersky. The relevant security companies are working with Mozilla to release updates that will resolve this issue.

You can just delete the files from AppData and create an empty text file in your Higan installation folder with the settings.bml name & file extension. Higan will then write to it.

Battery Temperature is important when it comes to buying phone cases. Try to avoid cases that would significantly impede heat dissipation and yeah, maybe try to avoid quick charging/limit its use to when you're actually in a hurry and only do it in a well ventilated environment.

dear mozilla,
i will never want to visit "123refills.net". ever.
sincerely, a student of "school.example.com/class-123"
----------
they're pushing this "forced completion for popular sites" crap down my throat, and i fucking hate it.

First it was Firefox on Android, now it's Firefox Desktop.

I'm resorting to disabling browser.urlbar.autoFill, which stops autofill even for websites I actually visited in the past.

When configuring the "Default Search Engine" there is an option to Provide Search Suggestions, try turning that off. You can then re-enable it showing results from your bookmarks, history etc.

I turned "Provide Search Suggestions" off years ago, before this bug began.

Aaand I just got the Firefox unresponsive glitch... *after* turning Javascript off, with nothing open but several Twitter no-JS tabs open... and 1.5 of 8GB of RAM used.


Visit about:support (type it in to the address bar)
Look at "Application Basics" for Multiprocess Windows and also Web Content Processes, what values do they show?

walk us thru your support process here.

It's in regards to Firefox becoming totally unresponsive. If the multi-process stuff is disabled by a plugin or Web Extension than a website can lock up the whole browser, where as if the multi-process stuff is enabled it should only be the poor performing tab that gets frozen and not the Firefox UI/other tabs.

There's an option to forcibly enable the multi-process stuff (which I've been using for over a year without issue) which may be necessary for Jimbo to benefit from it.

Will the game run at 60FPS like the original? It will feel quite off if it's 30FPS. I mean the original game is 60FPS on hardware that's 100,000th the power of the Switch (or even less).

If you want Mupen64+, just use Bizhawk and avoid the awful Front-End's for Mupen64+ as well as the clunky and very unintuitive RetroArch UI. RetroArch does not save anything to the HDD if you click the X in the toolbar (including save game data). That alone is plenty of reason to not use it.

Bizhawk will save to the HDD if you click the X. The only minor downsides to Bizhawk (compared to RetroArch) are:

1) The first 4 button bindings for the N64 controller are poorly labeled (they are for 100% analog stick movement in a direction regardless of how much you move the stick, analog stick sensitivity and axis calibration is handled in another tab within the controller binding UI)

2) the graphics plugin UI for GlideN64 is custom, missing a loooot of info that the official graphics plugin provides (no tooltips) and also uses different names for options than what the official plugin uses so you can't easily reference existing GlideN64 documentation to figure out what an option does nor easily figure out which options are the most accurate.

3) Shader Cache and custom texture packs are hardcoded to use the following illogical location: %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus\ (this may change in the future). Annoying since the Shader Cache can become corrupted resulting in whacky graphics, requiring you to delete the cache to fix it. Also unintuitive to have Bizhawk users store their custom texture packs in a Mupen64Plus folder.

Nobody is playing games on these bleeding edge emulators and enjoying it. But if they are, and if they’re that desperate to accept such an inferior presentation, they wouldn’t have bought the game in the first place.
So the fanatical fans of ZSNES and UltraHLE2064 were a myth? I mean to imply that there are plenty of people out there that are tolerable of poor experiences...

I know someone who is unemployed and can't be bothered saving up money to buy another console, but has a PC powerful enough to play Breath of the Wilrd on an emulated Wii U and says that, "it was OK once all the textures were loaded". I've been sitting here watching $gf play this game for what seem like a few weeks on the Switch (she says isn't anywhere near finishing it) and I don't believe he ran this game at full speed very often...
Apparently emulation performance of the game has improved a lot in late 2018 and throughout 2019, including hacks to remove the in-game FPS limiter. I haven't seen anyone report any problems in the game with an FPS increased above the normal limit but I'm not following the emulation project very closely.

Do you remember that time? Access to games was much more limited. Games disappeared from store shelves shortly after they were released and the only way to get them was through mail-in companies like Funco.

Apparently no, I don't remember what it was like. I can not recall the experience of purchasing any NES, SNES or N64 games from a retailer. I do know that our NES came with around 50~ games (so it must have been a 2nd hand console purchase or we got a lot of games 2nd hand) and we purchased Trog at some point from a retailer (very expensive according to my parents, but it's a great game), the SNES was brand new from a retailer & included Super Mario All-Stars + World, and the N64 was definitely second hand and came with a bunch of games.

Bizhawk uses an Interpreter (very accurate), not a Recompiler (less accurate but much faster). This alone has a significant impact on emulation performance. Try setting PJ64 or RetroArch to use the Interpreter and see how performance goes for a better performance comparison.

On my 9 year old CPU I too can't go above 640x480 internal rendering resolution without performance issues in Bizhawk (640x480 is plenty fine though).

ah yes,the idiot's button.You can simply exit RetroArch using esc you know...

How is a widely used basic O/S feature dating back to at least WIndows 3.0, an idiot's button?
