[@Hybred]

If you're encountering stutters try lowering your mouse hz, in some instances that will be the culprit. 1000hz can be too much sometimes for certain game engines and the PS4's CPU since controllers run at 125hz

[@robonator2945]

it sounds a lot more like proton vulkan shader caching tbh

[@Hybred]

@@robonator2945 it depends on the title

[@alksonalex186]

Not just game engines, but mainly for the cpu. It is a huge task for old cpus to work with 1000hz mouse, so if you encounter issues on 1000hz, try lowering it to 500 or further. Controller running on 125hz, though, might not be the limitation of ps4, at least by itself. You should consider that controller released in 2013 is wireless with poor battery uptime, so they might not see the sense in increasing polling rate.

[@robonator2945]

@@Hybred not really, he said it specifically occured whenever he went into a new area, that matches basically exactly with vulkan shader caching.

The lags if your moving the mouse fast are because your CPU can't handle high polling rate. Turn down the mouse polling rate to 250 Hz in the drivers

[@Supershreeko]

Late to the party, but regarding the stuttering at 8:20 - This is likely caused by a common linux gaming process called "shader compilation", and is a side effect of a game originally programmed on windows running on linux. The game is made with two types of code, CPU code and GPU code. Luckily, the CPU code works out of the box (not really, but for all intents and purposes, not much needs to be changed). The GPU code, AKA the "shader programs" are written in windows style "DirectX" code, but needs to be translated to linux style "Vulkan" code. This translation is intense and can cause stutters in the game. The good news is that the translations are saved! Once a particular stutter takes place in the game, it means that the translation for that little bit of GPU code is complete and will never happen again. The more you play a particular game in linux, the smoother it will run! Eventually, it will all get translated and the game will always run smooth. Some games can bypass this whole process by running a long update before the game runs, named the "shader pre-caching". Apex legends is an example of a game that I know does this.

[@unarei]

half life 2 has a native linux build and doesn't run through proton

[@prec1sion548]

[@ElNeroDiablo]

I mean, the PS4 is running a CPU that's basically an old FX8350 which is really a 4-core/8-thread chip due to how certain parts of the hardware that makes a core a "core" was shared between pairs of "cores" on the old FX line. So I'm not surprised a 2-core/4-thread Intel Sandy Bridge/2nd Gen Core-i circa 2011 was able to beat the AMD CPU from the mid-late 2000's that's powering the PS4.

[@Hami10101]

Would you say the FX line was so bad it almost bulldozed the company?

[@ElNeroDiablo]

@@Hami10101 I mean, it just about did in the CPU market for a long time. My current working hypothesis is that AMD was able to bid a CPU/GPU combo (since AMD bought out ATI during the PS3/X360 lifespan) low enough in price and high enough in volume of silicon to produce them, for Sony & Microsoft to take it up, and the healthy sales of PS4 & XB1 gave AMD enough revenue to complete the R&D to bring Zen (Ryzen, EPYC, Threadripper) to market and finally claw back ground they lost to Intel thanks to the FX series failure.

[@DigitalJedi]

@eLNeroDiablo And to go full circle, the development of Zen2 and RDNA2 made the Series S, X, PS5, and Steam Desk possible. One generation of consoles fuels the next. I really want to see some Intel CPU consoles again though. Imagine Microsoft decides they want a custom chip from Intel's new FAB program. The OG Xbox must live on.

[@younglingslayer2896]

its more akin to the socket AM1 cpus, nothing more than a cheap mobile chip

[@biglevian]

it's way worse than an fx8350. the jaguar cores are mobile cpus. the fx8350 was about on par single core with a 2100 and obliterated it in multicore applications.

[@novh4ck]

EDIT: This stuff is not necessary anymore because shader compilation has changed. DXVK_ASYNC option is gone now. Playing DirectX games could be improved using GE-Proton and DXVK_ASYNC=1 environment variable which can help with stutters a lot. I had huge issues with MW3 often dropping down to 30FPS on my gaming PC and async made it run at stable 120+ FPS. Maybe it could make some DX games playable since PS4 has slow CPU cores but 8 of them.

[@jakeparkinson8929]

Thing is, does the ps4 have virtualization extension enabled on its processor. If it does, then you can run Windows XP at fullspeed without emulation. I have a script that runs another script to run xp on boot on my laptop. Script one is essentially: (trap 'kill 0'; ((qemu + args here) & (sh script2.sh) && wait)) Script two is essentially: Sleep 5s; vncviewer -fullscreen=1 ":5900"; Basically, SDL isn't working for me on kqemu and when the simulated monitor changes resolution with gtk mode, it doesn't scale correctly and just looks bad. Basically, we have a vncclient that connects to the VM which allows correct scaling when resolution changes. Best part is that it closes when the VM is terminated. So it almost looks like windows xp is booting up natively on my computer. You can get working dx9-dx11 using the software rendered mesa3d gallium llvm opengl.dll from fossarena (?) Where it says Mesa3d for windows, and you chose an older version, version Mesa 13 and it is a drop in replacement for the opengl dll included with xp. And with the combination of onecore API and wined3d for windows you can run pretty much anything without graphics drivers Upto dx11. And with onecore API, xp can run the latest version of chromium. You have to use otterbrowser to even download things, but can be replaced with the latest chromium binaries built on GitHub. Steam client doesn't seem to work, but I was able to use steamCMD on xp to download and run my games in [current year]. If you want a really really terrible way to play games on the ps4 install xp as a VM.

[@minsiam]

6:07 What's the command he's running to start in steamos mode?

[@pumpkinsupreme4682]

3:46 I played this with my grandpa once.

[@2fernandoc1]

Can the PS4 run Sonic Generations, Lost World, Adventure 1, and/or Adventure 2?

[@AnimateMii]

I might try this with Pizza Tower.

[@theburntcrumpet8371]

This is the stuff of absolute legend

[@AravindVennu]

Hey, What game is that at 9:35.? Looks like Smash Bros.. Is that it.?

[@BringusStudios]

That's Smash Bros Project M. It's a mod for Brawl

[@mikeallensonntag]

That's crazy I wouldn't have expected the ps4 to perform worse then the sd. You should try this with Xbox x or ps5.

[@jsprechs7847]

Can you try steam OS on a surface Pro 4?

[@bush2137]

Is there system fsr like on steam deck?

[@mitus5359]

[@BLACKY_BEAST21e]

0:50 if I fits I sits 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Fogolol]

i wanna see you do this with a ps4 pro and seeing if it makes a difference

[@aland.mp4]

did you install gpu drivers

[@Subscribe15387]

Why not install and use windows 10 on ps4 then install steam deck software or a emulator to run steam deck?

[@jakesmith5278]

How do you know you have all the correct and optimized drivers for the ps4??

[@detective_solar]

finally, I thought you wouldn't dare do it

[@aarongreenfield9038]

If you have one, try doing it on the PS4 pro.

[@rodovanra6783]

So Linux can use the PS4 GPU? never thought it would allow HW 3D acceleration with the MESA drivers.
