inb4 shitposting and drama
>>143999775
>/r/Emulation mod here. This is a misrepresentation of our stance on the matter.
>You weren't banned for "defending open source devs"- we received a complaint in modmail about you doxxing somebody in the thread, and acted upon it in accordance with reddit's site-wide rules. It wasn't an especially severe case, and I understand if you take issue with our calling it that- but you still revealed personal information about another user that they clearly weren't comfortable having out there in public view on reddit.
>If we didn't step in, the site admins would have done so when the user in question let them know. It's one of the few things they don't fool around with.
>We don't exercise editorial control over what gets posted on the subreddit beyond removing rulebreaking posts, removing personal abuse, and redirecting tech support posts to the Weekly Question Thread- which is why that particular post got allowed.
>The implication that we somehow receive revenue from /r/emulation is risible. We're *subreddit moderators*- at best, we're glorified janitors. It's something we do in our spare time to keep a community centred on a subject we're interested in usable. We certainly don't enjoy generating this kind of drama- it's more work for us, after all.
>For what it's worth, I'm sorry it ended up coming to this- your posts were always fascinating to read. Obviously, you're always welcome back, should you wish- so long as you apologise to the user in question.
>>143999847
It's not. You just have to disable RA's keyboard mapping to avoid interference with MAME's.
Can't we all just get along?
>>143999958
>Obviously, you're always welcome back, should you wish- so long as you apologise to the user in question.
>>143999958
What's his name posted those personal details himself on Reddit. Go through his post count. You should be mod so you should know who the person is I'm talking about.
If he isn't comfortable with that info being out there why does he post and talk about it on Reddit to begin with? Sounds pretty stupid to me.
And why should I apologize because some person is stupid enough to divulge personal information about themselves they don't want others to talk about? It's social media, everything you say and do is out there and can be viewed for the whole world to see. They invented 'privacy' for a reason.
>>143999958
>so long as you apologise to the user in question
Kek. You don't know SP very well, do you?
>>144000234
Stick with your guns, SP. Reddit's a blackhole of shit anyways, and /r/Emulation users legitimately see no problem with paying money for emulators that use stolen code.
>>144000435
And for the record, I agree with SP. If you post your embarrassing shit online for all to see, don't be surprised if it gets used against you later. It's all fair game from there.
What was the dox?
>>144000234
>If he isn't comfortable with that info being out there why does he post and talk about it on Reddit to begin with? Sounds pretty stupid to me.
I already find the argument for posting easily googleable info doxxing but if the damn fucker posted it himself on the same fucking site then how in the fuck is pointing or reusing that info doxxing.
>>144000859
Know what this 'doxxing' shit amounted to BTW?
He is 20 years old, male, and he is from Texas, and he plans to retire before he is 40.
Goddayummmmm, that's some incriminating shit right there. BTW, this 'planning to retire before he is 40' guy is the same guy who wants to go all shark tank about 'gotta make that bread', and I guess there are few surprises why he would have such a cutthroat 'screw the other guy, let's just make a profit off his shit so I can retire early' mentality about himself.

The fuck part of Texas does he live in. I'd be lucky to be retired after 60.
>>144001536
Probably, the newer beta drivers show signs of progress from what I've heard
>>144001560
>Vagrant Story, if you like that game consider playing Parasite Eve 1.
That's interesting because I thought that game might be Parasite Eve. I really need to start playing PS1 again.
>>144000234
It is pretty dumb to post shit like that online if you don't want someone to find it then have a panic attack because someone noticed.
If someone tried to search for info on me I know exactly what they will find. Not fucking much. Not that anyone should give a shit to look.
>>144001662
His definition of retirement differs from yours
>>144000479
You will find the same shit here. The difference is a name is attached to the stupidity over there and persists while things flow too quickly here and everyone has the same name.
>>144001950
Reddit is much more cringe inducing.
>"The emulation scene was shit for years until the Dolphin devs came on the scene"
is just one example from that desmune thread.
>>144002993
I saw one pretty nice one from someplace else
>"the reason pcsx2 has progressed at all in the past two years is because some of the dolphin programmers had nothing to do because their code base is so tidy and there's so few things even left to improve, and decided to come over and fix its problems in their free time and brought the spaghetti bs it used to be up to an actually workable standard"
Someday DRM and security will get good enough to be uncrackable in practice, which means no emulators for latest consoles, (because of no possibilities for reverse engineering and game dumps) preservation is going to be dead basically. This is also going to fuel the paid emulators thing because everyone and their mother will want to make money off software now that it's impossible to pirate, open source software is going to become scarce and devs are going to be ridiculed for not just selling their work on some app store (Microsoft's UWP platform seems to be built with DRM in mind).
Seeing how new ARM and x86 CPUs ship with hardware DRM-enabling "security" features already and how Microsoft and Apple plan on making use of those, I say it's a matter of few years.

Still meets the site's criteria, unfortunately- the fact that he wasn't comfortable with that information being used in a personal attack against him is all that matters.
Besides- respecting people's privacy online is a matter of common courtesy. If they're idiotic enough to let some things slip, that doesn't give you carte blanche to use it in a personal attack. Consent matters.
That you *can* do something doesn't mean that you *should* do it.

Try running an older version of Desmume then. If that doesn't help, try no$gba. You don't really have a lot of options left outside of buying a new laptop.

yo /emugen/ Question
What can this spec run comfortably, or at least at all? Ideally i want to use this for ps1 an ps2 games
>>144011480
It'll work fine for PS1/N64 and anything older. Might be able to handle Dreamcast, as well.
Don't go expecting much success with PS2, though.
The 4chan was not invented for cat videos, childish memes and porn and a bunch of other low-grade degenerate stuff you know, at first it was intended for people to become more enlightened about the world around themselves and to up their level of knowledge so they can move up social stratas.
>>144011913
Is that a fancy way of saying "intended for discussing anime"?
>>144011913
Pretty sure 4chan was invented because 2ch started banning everyone without a Japanese IP from posting, and SA banned loli content around the same time, so moot said fuck it and made 4chan.
I barely knew what a pussy was back in 2010, and I started lifting talking to people and stepping up my game. I was not an expert in girls but I learned as I went along.
>>144011913
you sound like a faggot. you didn't even post any anime
>>144012110
>>144012136
>>144012178
What you are doing is extremely disrespectful and it will make good-willing memers leave in disgust. What you are doing is actually detrimental to the development of memes in general. I think reasonable sane janitors in here should honestly impose some basic decorum here, this is getting out of hand.
>>144012403
Is this some kind of meta trolling?
>>144011797
oh thank you!
That is better results than i expected. but can you tell me why i cant run ps2? massive lag issues, and if possible could i run just the weaker games?
>>144012569
The 2300 GMT+1 shitposting seems to be a thing in more and more generals.
RetroArchism has gone through the roof, people think they are entitled to act extremely disrespectful towards standalone emu users and get away with it because 'muh dynamic ratre control'.
>>144012569
I'm just misquoting shit from the reddit thread.
>>144012682
You have what looks like either a very old or integrated Ati GPU, you're not running any PS2 games with that GPU and your CPU is probably too weak to do SW rendering on anything but the least demanding PS2 games.

Yes, that Zeromus, and it's not so much that he hates Pokemon, and more that he hates children who can't understand why they couldn't have day zero piracy for the DS Pokemon games like they could back in the GBC and GBA days.
>>144013674

See, LocutusofBorges pretends he has no issues with Libretro and/or SP, yet he thinks nobody will notice these little subreddit drama threads where he talks 'shop' like this.
A backtalking bitch that can only gossip behind people's back.
>>144014564
I also remember when he said he would not be anymore involved in drama on social media.
He just cannot resist fighting with people that do not share his point of view and will always end up shitting on people that are either considered more popular, more successful or more talented than him.
With the new HW render, how do I get the games to show anything? Everything I throw at it shows nothing but a blackscreen
>>144016145
I don't think some nobody Reddit mod over a dead sub full of people who unironically think it's okay to spend money on emulators is more talented or successful than SP
>>144016675

>>144016765
I dot have a shader on and I have a 2gb card, it should be enough

>>144017158
There's a file called retroarch-core-options.cfg in your RA folder, erase it, then launch your game, switch the renderer to opengl, close the content and relaunch it.
>>144016738
And I think Exophase is more talented and successful than SP. So what?
The irony is that he is complaining in the reddit thread that people are shitting on Zeromus and as a counter argument he is himself shitting on ePsxe devs and Exophase, while absolutely NONE of the concerned devs said anything in the discussion (and Zeromus is likely big enough to defend himself if he feels the need to).
Like it or not, SP is a drama queen and it always ends up like this with anything he is involved.

>To any opensource dev: these guys will just allow their users to slander opensource devs with fake 'accusations' of sabotage, and if you as a fellow opensource dev try to defend them, **they ban you in return since obviously, fake controversy generates revenue for them.**
...Which is such ridiculous bollocks that it warranted a response.
Reddit provides a hosting service for web communities. We're just people that happen to use the service - the company's staff have no role in the day-to-day running of /r/emulation (or just about any subreddit outside the defaults), and we really couldn't care less about our impact on the site's ad revenue.
By your logic, everyone posting here's a "useful pawn" for 4chan's current owner.
I appreciate that you dislike the fact that I hold different views to you on the topic of closed-source emulators- but that really had nothing to do with your ban. I wasn't even the one that banned you. Hell, I didn't even interact with that thread at all, beyond removing an earlier version of it.
>>144020926
>By your logic, everyone posting here's a "useful pawn" for 4chan's current owner.

Guys, guyshttps://www.reddit.com/r/picross
You can't pay rent in git commits. There is a difference between paying for time spent and fulltime. Demanding that all work be done for free also leads to stagnation as developer have to stop development to actually get payed. Giving them a steady revenue stream frees them up to work harder on the emulator making it a better product.

AMD friend from the first time you posted this
I loaded it, downloaded some bsnes core, changed the driver to Vulkan, rebooted, opened the bsnes core, and opened a game called Yam Yam (Japan), and it's all working just fine this time
Changing the internal color depth makes the textures blue for some reason.
>>144023709
No Vsync issues or stutter or anything? If so, that's great to hear. Trust me when I say it makes a big difference for bsnes in particular, since you no longer need GPU hard sync to mitigate the massive input lag inherent to it.
>>144023898

>>144024519
Reddit and 4chan basically have the same userbase at this point. Reddit might be a little more normie but that's it. The main difference in tone is because on 4chan you're anonymous and you're not trying to game the karma machine.
4chan is a cesspool but at least people are generally earnest. I can't stand the obvious "fakeness" behind many of a lot of reddit posts, where you can read people saying stuff meant only to gather the approbation of their peers instead of actually saying what they want to say.
Upvote if you agree with me.
>>144023552
>work harder on the emulator making it a better product.
And gives them an incentive to not share with the community at large and even take other people's contributions without giving anything back.
Got it.
>>144024942
I use 4chan almost exclusively to troll and vent frustration by calling people like you faggots, while on reddit I'm super friendly. I'm anonymous on both, but like you said, there are votes to consider.
>>144023552
>Demanding that all work be done for free also leads to stagnation as developer have to stop development to actually get payed.
Then get an actual job first before dipping into the grey area that is video game emulation. Don't kid yourself: emulation of video games for a large portion of users is playing pirated software. Do you really think it's a sustainable line of work without some other career to fallback on? Take byuu who worked a proper job while developing bsnes (his method of how he did it is irrelevant here).

The Mednafen / Beetle PSX GL renderer right now shows just how 'far' closed-source PSX GL faggotry got us for all these years.
It took until fucking 2016 before a decent relatively modern open source GL renderer became available, and if it had been up to the 'PSX scene' that might have been postponed until 2020.
At least SP got that ball rolling. Might not be a master dev but neither was byuu, they just get shit rolling in the right direction and that is necessary.
>>144024942
>at least people are generally earnest.
Not as often as one would like. People here like to say stupid nasty shit just to say stupid nasty shit. Kiddies on 4chan too often remind me of Call of Duty bad asses fucking everyones mom.
The dev ball licking and karma whoring on reddit does get old as hell.
>>144025646
How can you be sure those people aren't just rude and awful all of the time?
>>144025590
>and if it had been up to the 'PSX scene' that might have been postponed until 2020.
Or ever. They have Pete's OpenGL 1 and 2 plugins. Instead of ditching 2, they made work around programs to improve OpenGL2. No one is working on any new kind of renderer, or to make 1 as good as 2. Even ICapThunder is working on tweaks to these two plugins, rather than anything new.
so when would the PSX scene have done it? My preidction is NEVER.
>>144023718
I've just commited a fix for that. There's still the problem of the black screen when you change the internal upscaling though.
>>144025646
Yeah but you learn to mentally filter those people after a while I think. It depends on the boards you're browsing obviously, when the shitposting reaches critical mass it's basically impossible to have any constructive discussion. Take /v/ for instance, it's basically a lost cause at that point.
/emugen/ is confidential enough that it's still manageable.

>>144027375
Ye. I think what i'm having an accuracy issue. I'm baby new to this
>>144025590
tell me when Mednafen / Beetle PSX GL renderer works perfectly fine on a toaster. Until then, I'll gladly use a closed source ps1 emulator.
>>144028175
LOL, is that you calb?
Sad that shit is getting serious now eh? Pretty soon the supply of crack whores to run over with a freight run will run out
>>144023018
>>144027318
Okay, so now I've manually changed the video driver to Vulkan in the config and now RA boots up and the games actually play. However, i'm getting horrendous tearing and stutter. I'm using the Higan balanced core. I'm running this on a G-Sync monitor and adjusted the frequency based on the "Stuttering due to inaccurate refresh rate estimation" section of "Using RetroArch" in the Wiki
>>144014783
>but a better experience than your average pirate.
>>144028175
Software Mednafen works pretty good on a mid-range laptop from 2008. GL renderer should work pretty well on an even worse laptop. Not sure what qualifies as "toasters", but it'll probably be close.
>>144030394
Hopefully eventually, but it's really not there yet.
>>144017480
>>And I think Exophase is more talented and successful than SP. So what?
lol.
All that guy does is make speedhacked emulators for weak ARM systems, and rants about how he had a "bad experience" with open source while working on gpsp so therefore all open source is bad. He released Drastic for free (but no source) on Pandora, while he charges money for it on Android thanks to Google making it easy, and builds in anti-piracy measures (the irony), and refuses to make versions for iOS or Raspberry Pi because they don't have easy ways to charge money for emulators. The dude is very self-centered and is only relevant because he allows kiddies to play Pokemon fullspeed on their phones.
>>144030687
>refuses to make versions for ios or rpi
so what? God damn, you devs bitch about end users and then do this.
>very self-centered
compared to who? SP? Pfft.
>charging money
yeah, he can do that because his app isn't shit and it's easy to use.
>bad experience with open source
there's a lot of assholes working on opensource, so no wonder sp.
>>144031223
Keep defending the greediest emudev. SP may be a cockbag but at least he doesn't sell his users out and deny ports based on whether or not he can make money.
>yeah, he can do that because his app isn't shit and it's easy to use.
If it's going to cost money, it had better be so easy that I can mind control it.
>there's a lot of assholes working on opensource, so no wonder sp.
"muh feels" is not a valid reason to turn your back on open source.
>>144030394
I just tried latest epsxe and couldn't even use the hw renderer and the sw renderer was too slow for Tekken 3. PCSX-R's gl plugin did work but it was also too slow. I'm not even going to even bother trying mednafen.
I'll either use older epsxe or no$psx.
>>144031223
His "bad experience" has to do with a Japanese PSP homebrew developer named Takka, who forked gpsp into gpsp-kai.
http://www.qj.net/psp/homebrew-development/clearing-up-the-exophase-takka-gpsp-issue.html
>>144033165
reminds me of libretro forks
>>144033165
So he didn't understand how opensource worked and got all pissy when people forked his code?
Why are people so territorial with their code anyway. If the fork is good merge it back in, if it's crap then who cares?
>>144033165
He probably made it better too.
Japanese always add ingenius features or stuff that is rarely equalled.

That is absolutely outrageous. Almost as outrageous as the time you and Rachel talked about the most effective ways to kill yourself, and how you did nothing to dissuade Rachel from suicide.
>>144035072

I've got an FX-8350 and Final Fantasy VI Advance is unplayable for me on mGBA, but it's perfectly fine on literally every other GBA emulator. Just use mGBA, and for situations like Mario & Luigi, use VBA-M
>>144033543
Takka's fork was better and it was the only version that worked on PSP's higher than 1.50 firmware. I can only assume Exo got mad because he lost "control" over it.
>>144035410
>>144035708
Might work or might not work. But who you talk to can have a big impact on your decision to kill yourself. You can be talked out of it. Rachel had serious medical problems. Finding a solution to that may very well have prevented her suicide.

i know they have realized that there are enough suckers out there willing to buy their emulators and even people willing to defend their jew tactics.
but is the market of retards willing to pay for an emulator big enough to pay for the dick mutilation you so crave?

Is intel + nvidia really the way to go for PS2/GCN emulation? I was thinking about upgrading to the R480 when that launches, but if there's a reason I should stay away from AMD, please let me know.
>>144047478
Intel is definitely the option, since FX chips are disgusting trash. Zen might change that, but it's too far away for us to know. Knock yourself out with any GPU, they're both fine on M$., the 480 looks like a fantastic price/perf option.

I came here to post an explanation, but looking at the thread I don't think this cesspit deserves that, so maybe try a less shit community next time.
>>144053727
lol
>>144051953
Exactly what it says on the tin. Prevents SRAM from being overritten when you load a savestate. It defaults to off because it breaks a few games that utilize SRAM as extra RAM.

The existence of closed source emulators doesn't preclude the existence of open source projects. If open source really did lead to rapid progress all the time, there would fucking be an open source n64 emulator out there that kills pj64. If all the available talent working on an emulator wants to be paid you're not entitled to the fruits of their hard work for free.
>>144060928
call me again when PJ64 has a 64bit dynarec. Until then, not good enough, and mupen64plus is better.
What are the notable differences between the libretro cores of bsnes-mercury-balanced and snes9x-next?
>>144061765
>call me again when PJ64 has a 64bit dynarec. Until then, not good enough, and mupen64plus is better.
that means nothing when PJ64's dynarec is faster than m64p's 32 bit dynarec which is faster than its 64 bit dynarec.
>>144060928
well said.
>>144062169
it means a native 64bit binary will only have an interpreter right now. terrible.
>>144060745
yeah it's really good. the thrid one (and the kast one) comes out this month and it has a steam version. the sequel to 999 (virtues last reward) only came out on 3ds and vita so you'd have to actually own one or the other to play it.
though i heard there were rumors of porting 999 and vLR if the demands there
>>144062257
why do you care about 64bit binary if it's slower?
>>144060928
>If open source really did lead to rapid progress all the time
That's a gross oversimplification and you know it.
You guys haven't demonstrated anything. You even undermine your point in your previous comment. The texture perspective correction enabled graphics plugin eventually came out as an open source project regardless of previous closed source efforts. If preservation of old games is your concern, you have nothing to worry about. (though this specific example has nothing to do with preservation since it's explicitly about an enhancement instead of faithful emulation) You seem to assume a closed source developer asking for money would instead offer their work to the community for free instead of perhaps not bothering at all.
I'm not trying to shit on open source work done for free as a hobby, but I'm trying to say that nobody is entitled to the work done by others. This is as true for emulators as it is for any other kind of software.
>>144061970
Pretty much doesn't matter for the average person.
>>144062783
Look guy, the concept is a simple one: until copyright is reformed to be sane and reasonable, Imma fucking rob your ass blind. It's open season on any self-righteous asshole who thinks his ability to flip bits on my computer somehow entitles his product to the same protections as physical property.
Don't like it? Don't make the goddamned software. No one will actually miss it. The world keeps twirling on.
>>144062783
>I'm trying to say that nobody is entitled to the work done by others.
Aside from closed source emulator devs though, right? I guess they're free to take and not give back?
Unless you think that they actually clean room reverse absolutely everything about a system solely by themselves.

You don't know either way.

Great contribution, guys.
>>144063758
So you think that they actually clean room reverse absolutely everything about a system solely by themselves. Not surprising that someone who thinks closed source and payed for emulators are good, is a complete idiot.
>>144064164
It doesn't matter what I think. If you're just going to start assuming anything at all, why bother having this conversation?
Anonymous isn't a username, by the way.
>>144064378
It's not an assumption, no one makes an emulator completely by themselves.
If preservation is your primary concern, a 3 year delay is meaningless. The ROMs and ISOs aren't going away. In the mean time, if someone with the talent and skill to develop this stuff says "I'll put my time and effort into making an emulator, and I'll ask for $6. That's a fair price for a quality product!" then who are you or anyone else to say that work should be shared for free? They may not even share your concerns about "preservation." Are software developers required to share your ideals? "I have spent a large part of my life honing this craft and I need to eat and pay rent, but for the noble cause of preservation I'll toil for free! Preservation of old games above all else!" That's just so naive.
If, instead, you want the best quality emulator to play games with at all times and you hate the idea of paying for the privilege, then your position makes perfect sense.
>>144063683
>Unless you think that they actually clean room reverse absolutely everything about a system solely by themselves.
If they happen to use publicly available docs, what's wrong with that?
>>144065139
The docs are copyrighted material and under NDA. At best emulators derived from them are grey area. If ever legally challenged they might lose. And if they did, most emulators could be deemed copyright violation. Emulation is a house of cards and could never withstand true scrutiny.
>>144064735
I don't think you know what an assumption is, because you literally just posted another one.
>>144065031
>a 3 year delay is meaningless.
Not today, digital only titles are getting pulled from online stores all the time. Online gaming networks are getting are going down.
>"I'll put my time and effort into making an emulator, and I'll ask for $6. That's a fair price for a quality product!" then who are you or anyone else to say that work should be shared for free?
It wasn't just their time, it was other's as well.
>>144065139
>publicly available docs
Like what? Most documentation - and this goes for all consoles, even poorly documented ones - is written up by homebrew devs, hackers, and emulator devs. For free, and for the betterment of the community. Taking that hard work, closing it up, and putting it behind a paywall is shitty.
>>144065352
And I know you don't know a thing about emulators. ← Another assumption, but it's also right, huh?
>>144065031
>That's just so naive.
What's naive is thinking anyone uses emulators for anything but piracy. Or that emulators are made only using knowledge legally obtained. Or that any closed source emulator in existence wasn't created off the back of an open community.
>>144065782
Okay, so you've admitted that "preservation" is just a politically correct motivation for most emulation. It's about playing old, beloved games when there is no other way to do it for most people. And you've also admitted that you don't value the hard work of others. That's exactly the stench your original comments had. Thank you for your honesty.
I'm not really sure what your point about reverse engineering is. You think most authors of emulation code are stealing code or something?
>>144065386
>Like what?
Like general instruction set documention.
>Most documentation - and this goes for all consoles, even poorly documented ones - is written up by homebrew devs, hackers, and emulator devs.
I wish this was true for n64.. Had to rely on buggy code until I obtained oman's archive...
>>144065782
>Or that any closed source emulator in existence wasn't created off the back of an open community.
Please explain how SSF was created off the back of an open community.
>>144066236
Not all, but likely many are. They either steal code, or more likely, re-impliment features other have done the hard work of doing.
Notice how epsxe always plays catch up with pcsxr?
I've been on 1080p for several years now and am thinking of going to 1440p with the release of Greenland or the 1080Ti. How taxing is 1440p compared to regular 1080p?

yeah probably not true for n64 or gba at first (gba had some 0day stuff cause of leaked sdks) but nowadays open source emulators have probably surpassed whats availible in oman.
>>144066290
Fair enough. I do think that many who close source their work are doing shady business. However, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, until I find out something questionable. I don't really keep up with epsxe, but ya stuff like that is shady, if that's actually happening.
There are some devs who close source their work that I respect, like that no$ guy.
>>144066602
Try it out with your current setup if you're able, with downsampling or whatever. Cuts the framerate in half most of the time.
I have an old media center PC that I hardly use now and Im thinking of turning into an emulation machine instead. Whats a good emulator frontend? (i think thats what they are called)
Kinda want to have a nice looking interface when browsing through games since its hooked up to my TV. looking to put old arcade games to possibly playstation games on it.
>>144067290
Retroarch.
>>144067241
>Cuts the framerate in half most of the time.
Fuck. I'll try running something easy like Air Ride with bloated resolution and report back.
>>144066602
Tried with Super Mario Galaxy 1, opening area, w/ OGL backend on a 750ti: 3x = 120fps, 4x = 80fps
So framerate loss of 1/3rd.
>>144067508
Whoops, I've never actually tried 1440p. I got that confused with 4K for some reason. It should be somewhere in the middle then.
>>144067669
That's just the internal resolution. Actually outputting above 1080p tends to drop the framerate even more.
>>144067669
>>144067914
Welp. That's fine, I guess. I don't see myself replacing the TV anytime soon and it's 1080p. Maybe I'll get one with an actual 120Hz refresh rate, not the effective bullshit. Ah, I short Stadium run on Air Ride and it never dipped below 60fps to report back.
