@KevinvanderVelden There's the problem, don't think, just ask.

Nzall

12:56 PM

@Lazers2.0 It is a valid question, even if it is a somewhat silly one

Frank

@Nzall Valid or not, it's still pretty stupid.

Ronan

Maybe if you try and put a xbox exclusive into a ps4 it loads a comparable ps4 game.

KutuluMike

there's no technical reason they couldn't build an Xbox emulator into the PS4.

but several legal/business reasons

(i assume)

Nzall

@KutuluMike I would actually look at it from a different perspective: a developer that makes it so a game can be run both on Xbox and PS4 using the exact same files

KutuluMike

that would probably be technically difficult.

the developer is at the mercy of the console vendors there

Frank

1:02 PM

Not to mention, packing duplicate files onto each disc so it runs on both systems leads to less quality, or much bigger capacity discs.

Nzall

@Frank There are no stupid questions IMHO. We might think it's a stupid question, but for someone else, it might be a reasonable question, similar to "can I run Oculus games on a Vive?"

Frank

@Nzall There are always stupid questions.

Perhaps not in a teaching setting, but here? Oh, hell, yeah, there are.

Nzall

@Frank I wouldn't duplicate the files, I would make 1 set of files, then 2 wrappers around those files that abstract out the differences between Xbox and PS4

Arperum

It's 2PM. I knew even before watching the clock. Dammit tiredness.

Frank

@Nzall Good luck with that. The consoles would have to know about the compression algorithm, and support it.

Arperum

1:04 PM

@Nzall Except that games on consoles are assumed to be optimized to all hell to run on the specific hardware.

Nzall

@Arperum Fortunately for me, I have tomorrow off. Going to the Boekenfestijn in Mechelen

KutuluMike

@Frank there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Frank

Technically feasible? Sure. Practically feasible? Not really.

Arperum

@Nzall If I get a good night sleep I'll be fine.

@Arperum cc @Sterno

Frank

@KutuluMike Nah, everyone has a brain fart or two.

Nzall

1:10 PM

@Frank I'm not so sure whether "can Xbox games run on Playstation" is a stupid question. If you're young of age or haven't come into contact with either so far, you might wonder it

Frank

@Nzall In today's day and age, children are just going to take that as a given. If they're young enough to still ask that, they're too young to ask it here.

Nzall

@Frank I don't know that. Maybe you never thought about getting a console up to puberty, or your parents wouldn't let you have one. There are plenty of parents who are opposed to gaming.

Frank

@Nzall And you're stretching to make an excuse for the question.

Wipqozn

Zero Day Firefox Exploit. Make sure Firefox is up to date

Frank

If you think it's a good question, upvote it. I think it's stupid, so I downvoted.

@Wipqozn How DO you manually update Firefox? It just does it automatically for me.

Wipqozn

1:14 PM

@Frank It normally does, but you can actually turn that off

You can do it via the "About Firefox" window.

Arperum

@Frank If you go look at the current version, you can force it to update.

Frank

@Wipqozn Yeah, just found it.

It's buried under a menu. I'm used to it being under Tools or Help.

Wipqozn

Also I agree with @Frank that there's definitely a thing as a stupid question.

For example, how to clean your laptop with scuba gear is a really stupid question.

cc @Unionhawk

Arperum

@Nzall Do you even believe this yourself?

SGR

The main limiting factor between playing an Xbox game on the PS4 is the fact that the PS4 uses a shit tonne of proprietary formats for everything

Textures, sounds, meshes, all propriatary

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I mean, it does have a tank of compressed air you can use...

Nzall

Because we are so aware of the matter

SGR

Reverse Dunning-Krueger effect?

Frank

@Nzall Yeah, we do. Because it's got an obvious, well known answer.

Nzall

But not everyone is so familiar with games as we are

Frank

An answer that's embedded into modern culture.

Wipqozn

Are we still talking about this? Some people think it's stupid, some people don't, so express your opinion with votes.

Nzall

@Frank Is it really that obvious, though. It is to us, but not to everyone

Frank

@Nzall Yes, it is. I'm done.

Kevin van der Velden

1:37 PM

@KutuluMike emulators generally need one or two orders of magnitude more performance than the thing they're emulating

KutuluMike

@KevinvanderVelden well, I may have misinterpreted the question.

I saw "xbox 1" as "the first Xbox", when he probably mean "Xbox One"

Kevin van der Velden

You haven't, but I'm saying there is a very good technical reason you can't build an xbox emulator in a ps4

Nzall

Seriously, if you ask the average parent from the babyboomer generation that question, I could honestly believe that a bunch of them wouldn't know the answer

Kevin van der Velden

Ooh yeah he probably meant xbone

Unionhawk

I mean either way

Kevin van der Velden

1:39 PM

That said I don't think we can yet emulate an old xbox on a top of the line pc

KutuluMike

@KevinvanderVelden I assume a PS4 has an order of magnitude better performance than the original XBox, so it wouldn't be a stretch.

I thought the "360 backwards compatibility" in the XBone was basically an emulator.

arda

oh god no @Unionhawk changed his picture

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden Actually it looks like emulators exist anyway

it's x86

KutuluMike

or whatever you call that lower-level "kernel-level emulation" stuff Microsoft has been into

Kevin van der Velden

@KutuluMike not really, more like a compatabillity layer between two very similar systems

Unionhawk

1:40 PM

apparently

Or some... modified but x86 compatible thing?

I have no idea

Nzall

The original Xbox had a 733 Mhz Pentium III. Considering advances in hardware and optimizations, a PS4 might have enough power to emulate it

Well, like $900/month of it is HSA + FSA, which is basically just stupid tax loopholes

Once I realized that I wasn't feeling so bad

Although FSA is the dumbest ever. It's basically "Give us this $5000 up front and we won't tax you for it. Hope you claim all of it by the end of the year though or we get to keep it! lol!"

fredley

@Sterno Wait, that's the amount you pay?

@Sterno Yeah HSA is way better

@fredley That's the amount I spent per month to put in accounts that aren't taxed, and it's available for medical expenses (or daycare in the case of FSA)

@Sterno Wow, that's a lot.

Sterno

@fredley I can't find the link to actually play

Jason Berkan

I guess my costs aren't that dissimilar. $50 per month for dental (though that is 100% paid by my employer) and $75 month ($50 employer / $25 me) for extended health. Obviously, my health benefits there are quite different from the US ones, since I don't pay for any regular medical care.

It's basically just drug coverage.
