Getting a little too real now: 3D cover-flow frontend, auto-fetched covers, synthesized menu sounds, L1+R1+touchpad to jump back to the menu, Vulkan renderer, up to 6x native. Still pushing it. (retro achievements+online functionality?) #PS5 #PCSX2 #PS2 #Homebrew #Vulkan

This is amazing, I think you should make an option for changing to 4X rendering, you are using 6X, but you are running it on a PS5 Pro, and 6X maybe won't work very well with some games on PS5 Base.

I will make a web UI to change those on the fly, I don't wanna pollute the UI with buttons and settings

@CiborgEc Just implement a separate settings tab in the app, but I feel like the base ps5 shouldn’t struggle with 6x ps2 if the pcsx2 port is utilizing JIT.

@mthsmelo_ I already did RetroAchievements in my vibecoded shit, if you want, I can share what is needed, and what works. For me it uses the original PS5 trophy notification alert, sound, has the correct achievement icon, description, name, and synchronizes well with RA

A folder system should be added to the PS5. PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5 games should be added to separate folders; we used to be able to add folders on the PS4.

Minecraft is now rendering on a PS5 emulator. It's still heavily glitched, but this is another meaningful step for PS5 emulation. Current progress: • Main menu boots • World loads • Some blocks, like beds, render correctly • Basic rendering pipeline appears functional The biggest issue now seems to be texture handling. The PS5's texture memory still isn't being translated correctly into Vulkan images, causing most textures to break. It's far from playable, but every correctly rendered object is another clue that the emulator is moving in the right direction. Credit: discord/Arbis

Almost nobody else was pulling it off quite like Ridge Racer was doing back in their late 90s/early 00s heyday. RRV was a launch PS2 title and wanted to flex their new advanced 3D models, but still did in style with silhouettes on the main menu. Visual design by Koichiro Maeda

Indiedev day 79: retro wireframe renderer with trackball functionality! As someone noted, my retro UI was missing rotating wireframes, I added one! In the drone loaout screen you can now see a very low poly version of the drone in proper retro fashion! I created a cross platform wireframe renderer and trackball funcionality to interact with the mesh. For fun I also made a world space position floor function for the mesh vertexes so that the mesh jitters a bit when it rotates, mimicking the unstable 3D geometry from games in the 80s and before. The UI is still completely unfinished, but I decided to post the cool wireframe feature as I just finished it today. #indiegame #buildinpublic

Xbox Series X can now run PS5 games thanks to experimental PS5X emulator Devran Cosmo Uenal is the creator of PS5X emulator, currently has GEX Trilogy, Hellboy Web of Wyrd, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion and Quake II working so far. PS5X is an experimental Xbox port of the KytyPS5 emulator, running PS5 homebrew and game backups directly on Series X through Developer Mode. Since Vulkan isn’t supported, everything has to be translated to DirectX — but some titles are already running with controller support and sound. It’s still very early, with limited compatibility, and there’s a lot of work left to do. AI has being used on the project. Stay up to date with the project, join his discord. Source:

That little Black Tiger update I was talking about - here are some clips of it. Forgot I needed to do the boss music so I did a quick pass at it tonight too. Boss is working but needs some kinks worked out (and it needs to end the level when it dies). A few other things here and there but pass one is completed. I need to set the traps in this level (and chests I think) to spawn the fire man enemy type. Random wasn't doing a good job of giving me traps so I'll have to adjust it a bit. Jumping on poles is still completely wrong. It should be a shorter wide jump instead of a regular jump and pressing up and jump at the top of a pole should be a big jump up. I'll get to it. Haven't even had time to test it on real hardware this weekend. Later in the week maybe. SEGA SEGA SEGA SEGA. Now back to unity for the rest of the week :) I should have been a pole dancer... oh well, too late. - Daddy <3

Sure, but the idea of simplifying the appearance of Fortnite, the locker and the shop are all going in the exact opposite direction of simplicity. Equipping cosmetics takes double, if not triple the clicks. The UI is impractical and janky, not to mention the introduction of buttons and drop-down menus that were far easier to access previously. Selecting a skin to rotate it, preview it or even spin it around now requires clicking on it, which then applies it to your loadout. Previously this needed a confirm button so you could preview and choose skins, backblings etc without loosing your currently equipped on if you want to go back. Wraps are not included as part of a character's preset despite being completely relevant to the skin worn. Changing emotes, lobby tracks, and all cosmetics now means you have to back out and change tabs, something that could have previously been done on 1 page. The sectioned tabs make sense with new types like LEGO Kits, Cars, Instruments but there's no need to separate Character from Wraps, Emotes or Lobby. Archiving or Favoriting items can no longer be done in batches or quickly. Previously all you had to do was click once per cosmetic on the button but now you have to enter a drop down and select it for every individual item. Applying wraps to all slots now requires a drop down menu rather than simply clicking the button at the bottom. Swinging a pickaxe or redeploying a glider is near impossible to do and feels like more of a chore to actually accomplish with the drop-down menu. It overlays onto other items meaning as soon as it's clicked the menu vanishes and switches to another cosmetic before the animation can even begin. Cosmetics in the locker can be searched by seasons using "S1-17" but after S18+ they no longer filter. Entering the drop-down menu or right-clicking anything in the locker accidentally immediately takes you all the way back to your currently equipped item when exiting. The filter menu requires an "apply" button to be pressed rather than simply closing and applying when selecting one of the filters, taking longer and more clicks to simply find your recent items or remove a filter. The filter menu was also better as a side panel so you don't have to move your cursor to the center of the screen and back every single time. As a side panel it also allowed for more options to be displayed, whereas the current one requires a huge scroll bar to simply filter by favorite. The presets menu scroll wheel also zooms the skins in and out as you scroll up and down the list. Because of the randomize preset button, the list compared to when saving a preset is all moved up by 1, becoming disorientating to where the preset was in relation to the rows. The shop no longer displays item descriptions or set names on cosmetics - now requiring a click on each individual item when there is adequate space to do so. The new shop and locker appearance can be accustomed to, however, it NEEDS the basic functionality and user-friendly UI elements that the previous ones had. Simple buttons at the bottom to favorite, swing, redeploy and equip. Less tabs to switch between, less clicks required to complete simple tasks and less feeling like there's a battle against the UI itself just to equip the cosmetics you paid for. We appreciate the moves the renew the locker and shop, but in terms of functionality and user interaction, there is nothing we want more than the old one back or the old one's elements merged into the new appearance. Thank you.

Unreal Engine has a huge agent tax. A whole 20x in Codex only lasts about a day with the agents looping. Here's what happened so far: 1. Traffic feels way more natural. still improving. 2. Driving is smooth now, and cars actually collision and hit buildings. 3. Pedestrians has a real look but no animations yet 4. Limit burn is real, one day and the usage for 20x is gone. It took me 3 full Codex usages just trying to finalize the traffic. It's getting better, just not good enough. Unreal looks insane. it's just not agent native at the moment. Unreal Engine needs to work on some native CLI!! So I'm going to test Unity. not switching, just testing. My Claude usage will be back up tomorrow I'll report back what's up!

Devan Kaney isn't ruling out the Phillies moving off Bryce Harper this offseason 👀 "My initial thought would be Trea Turner. {...} But it could also be Bryce Harper. Which Sounds crazy. This is a player who's really on the back half of his career. He's only getting older. He really hasn't done a ton in the regular season or postseason. Like, he hasn't put up the numbers that he’s used to. There's only so many times you can go back to Bedlam at the Bank before it gets a little bit old. And he doesn't add too too much to the clubhouse culturally."

At a Chick-fil-A play area, a grown man really walked up to a 3 year old and started scolding her like he’s the parent, telling her to wear a mask just for coughing. The mom told him to back off and he still wouldn’t drop it, just kept pressing a little kid. That’s the kind of behavior that crosses a line fast, you don’t step to someone else’s child like that. People are getting way too comfortable forgetting boundaries in public

i grew up in delhi dreaming of building tech millions of people couldn't live without. today, Wispr Flow is officially live in india! before this launch, i flew to india to answer one question: does wispr flow actually work here? in the back of an auto with horns blaring. a mumbai gym with punjabi music at full volume. a dhaba with the waiter rattling off the menu faster than you can type. we went and found out - it worked every single time. india became our second biggest market on its own. we 3x'd growth in 3 months with no campaigns or partnerships. people just found wispr flow organically and made it part of their daily life. the least we could do was show up for them properly. so we're launching wispr flow in india with hinglish & android support. because it's the way i've spoken my whole life. and the way everyone around me still does. grateful to my co-founder Sahaj Garg, our india lead Nimisha Mehta, and everyone who made this possible.

Soon playing PlayStation 5 games on your Quest 3 is going to be insanely easy. Asobi is a phone app for streaming your PS5 games both from your local console and via Wi-Fi, and also playing PSN streaming games. There is a native application that's currently in testing on the Quest 3 right now I just got to test out. It works incredibly well and there are a ton of settings that you can adjust and change, including the ability to play games in what sounds like a 3D mode, which I haven't tested yet and that is still very early. Apparently. This is insanely easy in comparison to having to side load a separate PSN app or another Android app and try to authenticate. This was so so easy.

CHILLS 🇺🇸🇺🇸 One of my very talented team members produced this a few years back, and it still gives me chills watching it. Such a cool rendition of our National Anthem. Makes you proud to be an American. We can never lose sight of how lucky we are. It’s too easy to focus on all the negativity. Easy to get sucked in by a profit-driven media that sensationalizes everything and teaches you nothing. It’s too easy to believe that Twitter is real life. It might benefit us all to take a step back occasionally and appreciate the problems we have now compared to the problems we used to have. The truth is that this is still the greatest place on earth and it seems to me that everyone around the world knows it too, because there’s a pretty long line out the door. It’s the greatest place on earth because the vast majority of us DO appreciate our country and her Founding, and DO want us to live up to our full potential as the shining city on the hill. Happy Independence Day.

I spent 20 years architecting AAA game engines, going back to the PlayStation 1. I wrote all of that by hand. This one I did not. It is a stylized real time digital twin of the SF Bay Area, built from scratch in C++ and Vulkan. The geometry is real, the look is not. It is meant to read as a painted model of the Bay rather than a photo of it, because a photoreal copy of a place you can already see from a satellite is not worth building. The world is an 80 km square, about 6,400 km², and all of it is built from open data. USGS 3DEP 1 m lidar for the terrain. NOAA CoNED for the bay floor. USGS NHD for water. ESA WorldCover for land cover. OpenStreetMap for footprints and roads. That comes to 13 GB of streamed tiles, and 9.8 GB of it is terrain. Past the edge there is a 420 km coarse ring on Copernicus GLO-30, so the horizon does not end at a flat edge. Distant ridgelines bend down below it. There are 424,787 real building footprints in there, extruded procedurally, with heights off OSM tags and a plausibility gate that drops anything whose tagged height will not fit its own footprint. Across the whole 80 km box it rejects exactly 8 buildings, four of them towers carrying a bad height tag that used to extrude as needles over a derelict pier at Hunters Point. On top sit 41 landmarks at their real coordinates, authored by Fable as parametric Blender scripts rather than sculpted: Golden Gate, Transamerica, Coit, Sutro, Salesforce, the Ferry Building. Each one switches off the generated building underneath it. The simulation is the actual point. A 24 hour recording of real feeds plays back on a clock inside the app, at 1x up to 2000x. Caltrans PeMS for highway flow, 511 for Caltrain, OpenSky for flights, AIS for boats, METAR at SFO, OAK and SJC, and HRRR for weather. 165,356 samples across those 8 feeds. Cars spawn at the volume PeMS measured on that segment. Trains run the delays 511 reported. Planes fly the tracks OpenSky recorded. It is replay, not a live stream. Live polling is next and feeds the same clock, so it is a source swap rather than a rewrite. There is also a globe. You pick the Bay from orbit, fly down to the surface, and back out again. Reversed Z depth, HDR with a filmic tonemap, dual filter bloom, a time of day grade, and a volumetric marine layer for Karl the fog. AI agents write the issues, set the constraints, make the art direction calls, and review and validate every line of the roughly 235,000 lines of C++, GLSL, Python and PowerShell. What I built is the orchestration that holds it together, and the judgement on top of it: what to build, what to cut, and when to accept the result. The language choice is doing real work here. The hard part of AI written software is not producing the code. It is proving the code is right. C++ and Vulkan are unusually good at that, because nothing is hidden: every resource, every frame, every buffer you can read back. 28 golden image scenes compared by SSIM. An MCP server that drives the running app, so an agent can move the camera, set a sky preset, take a screenshot, and read the streaming counters back out. It validates against a live process instead of against its own diff. And a reviewer agent whose only job is to work out what the issue asked for before it reads the summary the PR wrote about itself. So I think C++ and Vulkan stay the heavy duty layer through the AI era. Not in spite of being low level. Because being performant, deterministic and checkable is exactly what an agent loop needs to push against. A managed engine hides the state that verification depends on. This is a hobby project, and it has nothing to do with my day job. Clips are below. More as I go. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Land cover: ESA WorldCover 2021 (CC BY 4.0).
