Article: KDSBest talks RPCS3 Emulator

You can view the page at http://psx-scene.com/forums/content....RPCS3-emulator

uh, ego much? how is someone ranting about what they COULD do news? perhaps in all that banter was something about an actual contribution to the RPCS3 project, but if so I missed it.

edit:
in thinking about this for just a few more moments, its great that attention has been brought to the RPCS3 project again, if nothing else! the RPCS3 project someday could seriously aid in the rapid prototyping phase of a homebrew project by allowing a more debug friendly environment to be used initially.

Take it easy.

From what I take away, he is announcing his intentions. And even makes mention of aspects he cannot achieve alone.

I suppose those willing to help are the ones he is trying to reach.

I've known the guy for awhile now, and he has talked about RPCS3 for a while now.

I hope people can help, or those that refused to help might reconsider.

lol @ KDSbest. He thinks he's so good and that he's experienced, but he's really not. Don't be surprised when his projects don't turn out to be good or reliable.

@an0nym0us & @Inaudax

I suggest both of you to read the rules of the forum here. We like discussions but leave your personal feeling aside when it comes to bashing. If you dislike the news or the project. Then there are respectful ways to go about it.

Either positive/respectful remarks or none at all.. This will not be accepted here on our forums. Form your own opinions but don't just post to bash as you add nothing good to the conversation


Thanks

If you have something to say, bring facts or nothing at all. We believe slander is one of the strongest enemies the PS3 scene has. Please do your part but leaving the empty insults behind. If you have proof to what you are saying, then by all means, go ahead and SHARE WITH THE SCENE.

Too bad we decided to be nice and starve you of our envy lol

When does this CCC thing go down @KDSBest ?

And any other projects you have, or is making this better going to be your main focus?

oh that is just rich considering the "news" posting is a bashing of the RPCS3 project. But ok I will take your advice.

Building a big switch case is just the wrong way.

you speak of this binary search algorithm? well its quite easy to build a binary search algorithm using if/else if/else for sorting, then switch to do the grunt work. but its still quite a stretch to blankly state that binary search is superior to a switch, because both are implementation specific. unfortunately (for your precious time (and therefore big money)), this can only be determined by implementing the search complexity using a number of variations and timing them.

what exactly is your argument here? are you honestly comparing an emulator that has been developed over the course of 10 years to a new project someone just started?

I looked alot at recompiler codes lately to get a brief understanding how they work and it is doable for the PS3. I hope #RPCS3 guys will take my help instead of claiming false that their way is faster and reconstruct their emulator. Of course I want to get credit than, because this will be work not much people on this planet can do.

strong bash there, have you any previous contact with the project to even believe they make false claims? it really seems like there is some sort of back story here that is missing.

you have not even begun anything and you dream of speaking about this topic at CCC already? good luck finding help.
