The port, which has been showcased in a new video shared by @SteveBH on Twitter, uses an OpenGL renderer, it’s fully playable and comes with some additional options not found in the original release. Audio, unfortunately, is missing, so for a truly fully playable experience on PC, players will need to resort to emulation. The team behind this port also plans to release Jak II and Jak 3 native PC ports, which will definitely be more interesting to see in action, given how they are more technically advanced and much bigger in scope than the first entry in the series....

Asobo Studio’s Kevin Pinson said as much in an interview in the most recent issue of Play Magazine (issue number 19, via MP1ST)).

Different Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Version Also Features a Varying Model Number to Indicate Some Specification Differences The revelation was spotted on Twitter and comes from Ice Universe, who claims another Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 version with the model number ‘SM8550-AC’ exists. It is unclear why Qualcomm chose never to disclose the existence of this variant or if this one actually exists. Then again, we did report previously that the San Diego chipset maker was rumored to be working on two Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 versions with varying CPU clock speeds....

While all these titles are solid in their own right, they do not feel particularly innovative, as they all come with the same features that have been central to the genre since its beginnings with some tweaks here and there. This isn’t necessarily a problem, as CRPGs are more about worldbuilding, atmosphere, story, and actual role-playing, but one has to wonder if there wasn’t a way to innovate the genre in some way without having to leave behind what makes a great CRPG so compelling....

Memtest86+ is not a standard application that runs specifically in Windows 11 or any other notable operating system. The software is built to run on any platform, allowing the software to recognize a higher amount of flaws than proprietary BIOS software, which is found on most mainline motherboards. Memtest86+ can be installed onto a USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or through a network and installed effortlessly onto a system. If Memtest86+ sounds familiar, it is probably due to some users mistaking the software for the forked, close-source version, PassMark Memtest86....
