Awesome OP. I don't own a PS4 myself but I consider PS4 gamers to be the least lulsy of the non-Wii\PC U gamers.

A lot of poo poo about this doesn't make sense, how are they running this stuff at 60? For console games, you gotta emulate the bad framerate too or the game breaks. Maybe they chose some rare simple games that act ok when unlocking the FPS and that's why their showcase is dumb Starwars games nobody cares about.

they did a video yesterday about the 3 games. none of them have a 30 fps cap but a few have something that reverts to 30 if the 60 cap can't be met. they were saying in the vid that there are ways to remove the caps in games and they hope they get some examples of them soon.

you mean the HD remakes that make up roughly 0.01% of the PS2 library, one of which being the Silent Hill HD catastrophe? Get real bitch

No, sadly. But you can burn your GC game to a SD card and load them from there oddly.

i think its because the wii is still pretty much a gamecube structurally and the wiiu has a wii built into it, and for some reason someone decided the wii mode shouldn't play GC discs even though it's perfectly capable of doing that

not every game ties everything to the framerate (even though it's pretty common in that era), some emulators for modern systems like dolphin and ppsspp let you "overclock" the emulated system and use cheatcodes to change/remove framerate caps to get a smoother, higher framerate

I always knew those discs were retarded I hope Nintendo realized as much as well.

the small disc was a reaction to their competators' disc console issues. piracy from non proprietary disc formats on dreamcast and load times and disc drive failure on psx. the small disc was harder to copy, faster to read, and put less strain on a drive while rotating, which also allowed the console itself to be smaller. It was a decision that was great for nintendo until they realized that sales that gen were going to go to consoles with media features they couldn't match.
