  • And that’t the crux of the issue. Stenzek doesn’t actually understand the reality of licensing.

    The reality is this - you can’t do anything without a lawyer. Laweyrs cost money (pro bono isn’t a thing in the copyright world AFAIK, but IANAL).

    If he wanted to avoid this, then maybe he should’ve kept it closed source from the beginning. Chinese sellers on AliExpress couldn’t care less about licensing anyway, so that way he’d have at least some protection.

    IMO his course of action so far has been wrong.

    What he should’ve done is this:

    1. Cause a stir
    2. Get support from the community
    3. Open up donations for the project (or just himself, since you don’t want a repeat of Yuzu)

    He could even go after Arcade1up legally if he raised funds, but that’s not even worth the time if you ask me.




  • Yes but, in practice some of these things don’t matter much at all. At that point you’re looking at the performance stack a bit too deeply.

    Look at the bigger picture. For example - an RTX 4090 can perform about as well on PCIe 3.0 as it does on 4.0 in most tasks that you’d likely use it for.

    You don’t have to care about some of these things as much as you used to before. Sometimes you can get too deep into hunting the best version of your system before you realize that it really doesn’t make that much of a difference.












  • Unfortunately not really.

    The problem is that the artstyle is usually thrown out the window with these kinds of mods. They all end up looking very similar because of the amount of work you have to put in to make it look acceptable.

    Not to mention, the hacky nature of RTX Remix is very limiting and the implementation is not very good to begin with (and very hard to use as a result).

    I hadn’t caught up with NVIDIA’s RTX Remix SDK stuff but I plan on taking a look at this myself and do a more in-depth render integration with something (be it the Remix DXVK fork itself or something like UE5). I mod BlackBox NFS games extensively and I plan on cooking something up that is technically better than anything before.
