And the second example is Rosetta 2 for gaming on ARM-based Macs. You mentioned that some emulators running x86 games (on ARM) are inefficient.

That’s the point: emulation is not the same as translation.

Translation is generally more efficient than emulation and can sometimes even match or exceed the performance of native execution.

Which you said is a backward compatibility issue. Some games that are developed only for x86 or the DirectX API have performance issues, but other games that support cross-platform or cross-platform APIs like Vulkan do not have this problem.

An obvious example is the Nintendo Switch, which goes against your argument.

Because of backward compatibility, x86’s efficiency still can’t match ARM’s. That’s why I said games run on ARM would be more efficient, lighter, and smaller (when they natively support ARM).

If you have any doubts, just look at the Nintendo Switch.

Amazing! I hope I can buy a Linux on ARM Steam Deck someday. It should be more efficient, lighter, and smaller.

1. I usually use my steam deck as my PC with a external monitor in desktop mode, but Cyberpunk 2077 has audio cracking issues in desktop mode.
2. When i unlock the steam deck in desktop mode, it still requires a password input, but it cant use the screen’s virtual keyboard, i have to use an external keyboard to do that.
3. The internet proxy settings in gaming mode still interrupt and conflict with the settings in desktop mode.
4. The Steam Deck in gaming mode can’t use a system screenshot shortcut with the keyboard, so I have to switch to the Steam Deck’s gamepad to take a screenshot when I’m using the keyboard.
5. The Steam Deck updates in desktop mode seems almost endless; I still get the notifications almost everyday I log in.

I don’t know when you last played. They added two new races: High Elf for the Alliance and Goblin for the Horde in 2023, a few new dungeons, some new glyphs/challenges, and a radio feature. But mostly, it’s the same as the original game.

I am playing turtle wow—a private server game.

It’s mostly like the vanilla wow, but has some optimized updates.

My gaming with WoW Classic is regularly crashing. OK, it’s not a Verified game. My gaming with Cyberpunk 2077 in desktop mode still has the audio cracking problem.

But it’s still the best electronic device I have ever bought.

I completed Broforce, and it took me 13 hours. It’s a funny and gory game.

I am playing Doom Eternal. It’s a gory and cruel, raging game. The atmosphere is really vivid and cool, the hell scenes and the Cthulhu art are amazing. Masterpiece!

I’m also playing Retrowave as a BGM player. It’s a purely casual and relaxing mini game, and it creates an '80s retro atmosphere. I like it and I really love the synthwave genre.

I’m still playing Cyberpunk 2077, just drive my motorcycle and explore casually. I think everyone knows everything about this game. So I won’t introduce it.

It’s understandable and reasonable.

I use a 1080p 24” monitor as the external display for steam deck. CP2077 and RDR2 run steadily at 1080p 25hz.
