Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
Looks like anything above the nano pro is more powerful than the Steam machine as long as you don’t pick the weakest GPU in the configurator.
The architecture is certainly a big issue.
Nothing else really maps 1:1 to the PS3 CPU. The main overhead is not from translating the libraries. It’s emulating the CPU/recompiling the code.
There would likely be no efficiency gain from running the games on software that more closely matches the PS3 OS.
It’d be like the difference of using windows instead of proton to run games. Not always better. Sometimes worse.
Makes sense to me, actually.
It’d be an easy way to get and also store the DRM-free offline installer, in where you don’t have to permanently allocate active storage to keep the installer around.
It is super neat to have numbers on this.
