I honestly vastly prefer using IDA and Windows specific tools (x64dbg) over gdb. IDA can interface with gdb so it can act as a frontend which can be handy for visualization.

Not a bad idea actually, totally didn’t think about that.

Maybe even a PCIe pass through to a VM could do the trick if you’re desparate lol (with Linux living in a separate drive)

Orrrr maybe even try FreeBSD… (or mac OS, but eww gross don’t test that)

The only thing I can think of is to try the drives in a different system and see how they behave (same OS and configuration).

If they behave the same then that rules out everything except the drives themselves and the OS.

Considering how you mentioned the behavior is better in Windows, it sounds like a software issue, but you never know until you try.

FWIW I’ve also had memory issues with XMP.

Turns out that ASUS firmware is omega pepega and decided to go against AMD’s specifications even for XMP profiles.

CLDO VDDP was stuck at the same voltage as SOC. Per AMD it has to be up to VSOC - 0.1V

So, after manually setting that, and other VDDP and VDDG voltages, it magically started working perfectly.

So do check voltages anyway even if you found a bad stick. Mine endured through the crappy firmware thanks to it being Samsung B-die.

Also check this for more info in general (I recommend this even if you won’t OC, just the memtest alone is a huge section)

I tested with OCCT to find even more errors, so either do that in a mini windows environment or do one of the Linux tests to check memory some more. Memtest86+ isn’t enough.

I remember way back, around 2013, asking Gigabyte Mobile for the kernel source of one of their devices (Mika M3) via their business support.

Needless to say, they obliged! They uploaded it and then gave a link to an FTP server and credentials to use it.

So sometimes it’s just worth asking.

I couldn’t compile it fwiw, because it was missing key Mediatek components, but eh, what can you do…

It kind of still is because of Webview2. Games such as Forza Motorsport (not that you’d want to play that crap) depend on it for Xbox login purposes even if you bought the game on Steam. The game depends on the system Edge libraries and doesn’t ship its own.

First of all, thank you very much for your service.

Secondly, you’re crazy lmao

If you’re so sure senator, why don’t you back it up with a source?

I had bad grades in maths. I do programming myself. Not for a living but out of passion.

They’re not necessarily related one to another. Sure, there is maths involved, but it’s not integral. What is integral, is digital logic. That is the most fundamental aspect.

I don’t think that’s gonna work because this is a thing that he needs

You’re welcome! :)

I’ll try to make sure it works on Linux too!

You are correct! You have to put the dinput8 overrides for the plugin (ASI) loader so that the widescreen fix and other stuff can load. (This is the same for all Black Box NFS games basically)

Also, if you’re installing from the original media, you have to update it to 1.3 and then put the no cd patch. In this case I can only recommend the MrDJ repack because it does this already.

However, I highly recommend updating the WS fix and checking out now and then for updates because we do still maintain and develop it. (Not very often but hey, life is life)

That being said, I am also working on improving another plugin of mine, called XtendedInput, which brings native XInput to the game. I’ve already tested it with the Steam Controller and it works nicely. It’s currently a bit fiddly for MW because I hadn’t implemented ingame configuration, so you do have to edit ini files for custom maps and deadzones. (Hopefully I will someday, right now I am stuck on other stuff)

EA used to do this even before Microsoft!

They have their own music system called “Pathfinder” which controls music interactively in little chunks.

I believe it was first used in NFS 2, which came out before DirectMusic.

If you’ve heard the pursuit music in NFSMW 2005 or Carbon’s Canyon music, that’s Pathfinder! It was also used in Medal of Honor and Red Alert 3.

Exactly. That’s what matters. That’s why SteamOS is on Steam Deck, or Linux distros on POS machines, or Windows on ATMs (which is kinda depressing ngl), etc.

It’s a tool, nothing more, nothing less. An OS is just a gateway to other apps at the end of the day.

That’s ok if you look at it that way. But at the end of the day, it’s just a tool like any other. Personally I find it really silly to put any moral questions into it because I don’t believe it’s worth my time to think about it, lose time on silly things and/or sacrifice the quality of my work. I’m not trying to imply anything about Linux, btw, it’s the same for the other ways around. It just feels stupid because it ends up like a political discussion, when it really shouldn’t be. You have the option to use basically anything and choosing to limit yourself over that is just plain stupid imo. You could make the arguments for how they process data, which is a whole other discussion, but then again, there are plenty of workarounds to all of those problems (which is exactly what some people are doing with virtualization, different machines entirely, OS tweaks, etc., which is fine, because they’re benefiting from it). Nothing against FOSS or otherwise, btw, I do agree about the need to support, but there are so many other ways to do it. Just using it isn’t enough, sadly. As the point of this OP is - it’s also market adoption, marketing itself, etc. None of this changes the fact that using certain tool(s) (e.g. gdb) is best done on a certain OS (e.g. a Linux distro) at a given time.

On the same token - anyone who also knows what an OS is shouldn’t care either. Use the best OS for your job and needs. Reap the benefits of all of the OSs that you can run and switch between them like an army knife. It is the best when all of them complement each other.

People use tools that work best for them. There really is nothing much more to it than that. An operating system is a tool, not a religion.
