Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Impressive! I thought emulation would be embarrassingly slow - my attempts to get Windows VMs running on macOS on Apple Silicon resulted in single-digit FPS just rendering the desktop. What dark arts are they conducting?

FEX redirects graphics library calls to their native equivalents. This substantially reduces the amount of translated code you need to execute.

slp did a nice demo at KVM Forum last month. https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf and https://youtu.be/10Ztv0UI5I0?si=19KPcA6wGbXM3IsS

That’s ridiculously cool. Really appreciate you sharing that.

What a legendary team. What can we expect in term of graphic performance? Will it take advantage of the powerful mac GPU if you have one? I ain't no programmer but I admire what these people are doing with reverse engineering.

so is there a way to try asahi on my m1 macbook without overwriting my macos install?

[–] smud@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, asahi always installs to a separate partition so your base os shouldn't be affected

[–] slug@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

and it's easily reversible from macOS's perspective? i'm familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there's so many new security "features" these days

[–] smud@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yup it's stupid simple. All you have to do is delete the linux partition and expand back the macos partition.
