I prefer to get a jumpstart on the process by transplanting larger pieces of plants.Īs most of these groundcovers grow, they’ll add little roots along their expanding branches. ![]() ![]() In most cases a simple cutting is all that’s needed to start a plant growing in a new location. Veronica pectinata, or blue woolly speedwell, is a new addition along the sloped edges of my stone patio.Īll of these groundcovers are very easy to grow and propagate. Thymus lanuginosus, or woolly thyme, and sedum anglicum surround the flagstones leading into my backyard they help keep the slight slope from eroding, require little water, and look spectacular, especially when their little flowers bloom. I use periwinkle, or vinca minor, to smother weeds at the base of my irises I love the little violet flowers and almost evergreen foliage. I know that sounds quite broad, particularly when veronica offers almost 500 species alone, but it’s intended to suggest that there are groundcovers for all landscapes and regions in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some of my favorite groundcovers are periwinkle, thyme, sedum, and veronica. They provide a wonderful visual and physical transition between different yard and garden spots. Some of my garden paths are better suited for pine needles, or bark, or gravel, but for grand appearance few of those options match the appeal of groundcovers. I parlay those benefits into a perfect carpet to walk upon in garden pathways and at the edge of small slopes. They can be grown as an erosion control, as a mulch to help shade soil for other plants, or purely for their aesthetic value. A groundcover is a plant that grows close to the ground en masse. ![]()

The problem is that I - like most people - don’t really care about the Atari Lynx. The Libretro emulator will play games from this early-90s handheld console at 60 frames per second. Atari Lynxįinally we found something RetroArch PSP can emulate well. Ever a late 1980s game like AfterBurner will crash. MGBA also performs very disappointingly with Metroid Fusion.įor Mame 2003 and Mame 2003 Plus there won’t be any need to find a hard-to-emulate game. There’s no glitching on either emulator, but gpSP is noticeably faster than mGBA. Moving on… GBAĭK King of Swing is a game I never heard of, but according to random folks on the internet it is hard to emulate - so it will do for our purpose. But what about any other game? As I test, I boot the Gambatte core with Army Men for GameBoy Color and at the start screen it reaches… 13 FPS? As shown below, a native emulator like s9xTYLme Mod can hover at around 30 FPS even in the 3D cutscenes of StarFox 2.įor the Game Boy, we already know that RetroArch is a solid choice for playing Shantae. And while the PSP is a weak device, it can do better than this. Let’s see if the regular Snes9X 2005 fares any better with Donkey Kong Country 3.Įh, barely. All the help in the world won’t make the game hit even the 30 FPS mark. Under Options, let’s set the frame skip to Manual, and Reduce Slowdown to Max. We can try and help it out - holding Start for a few seconds, the RetroArch menu will appear. Snes9X 2005 Plus struggles already at the introduction of Mario RPG. The harder to emulate the games, the better they will identify weak cores. Not just the random Super Mario World - let’s pick them carefully. Memory Usage would be another nice stat to have on screen, but it doesn’t work, so don’t bother with it. Changing the Update Interval setting to 60 will make sure we won’t have to wait too long to get confirmation of the inevitable slowdowns that some cores will throw at us. From Settings, select On-Screen Display -> On-Screen Notifications -> Notification Visibility and finally, Display Framerate. To most accurately determine which cores are trash we will need an FPS counter - which RetroArch helpfully provides. The same menu has an option to add shadow effects to the fonts, an advisable choice to improve readability further. The aspect ratio of a PSP screen (480x272) would be best approximated by a 16:9 ratio - but if you pick that one, bad things will happen. From the main menu, select Settings -> User Interface -> Appearance. Let’s try and find the bright side of RetroArch - if there is one.įirst though, let’s change the aspect ratio of the RetroArch menu to something suitable for a PSP, before the grainy, poorly scaled letters hurt your eyes even more. More or less the developing equivalent of setting free an unwanted puppy on a busy highway before heading for the summer holidays. For now though, the developers seem satisfied to let it compile and release it into the wild. Sooner or later, RetroArch will be the best emulator on PSP for any platform. Given that the Libretro Team still support platforms like the GameCube and the PlayStation 2, it seems safe to assume that they won’t drop support for the venerable Sony handheld any time soon. The very first version of RetroArch for PSP, released in late 2014, had seven cores. Nonetheless, as time goes on, the chimera made in Libretro becomes harder to ignore. The emulator is a classic case of a jack of all trades and master of continuously crashing piece of software. Being part of the ‘everyone’, I wholeheartedly share the sentiment.

Now with iMazing, transferring documents to and from your favourite apps to a Mac and PC, wirelessly or via USB, is a matter of using the Quick Transfer function. Most of us use our devices to store files. Click the Device tab to see which apps are on the device click the Library tab to see the app library. It also reads some files on the device to find a list of apps that have been previously installed on the device. iMazing scans your iOS device to create a list of the apps it contains. It even saves and restores your game progress or app documents and settings. ![]() Once they are on your computer, you can then install them to your iOS devices. Using the Manage Apps function, you can access your apps, including downloading previously bought apps and save them from the App Store to your computer. With iMazing some of the functionality of the old iTunes is restored. Lastly, there is in-depth data about your device.

These plug into your computer via USB, and that makes them much easier to install, and means they are also compatible with Macs and laptops. Its current Mac limitations are regrettable, but it's a great way to turn your Thunderbolt-equipped laptop into a professional streaming powerhouse.The good news is that there are a growing number of modern external capture cards. ![]() That makes the Live Gamer Bolt a more flexible solution than comparable internal 4k capture cards. Thunderbolt 3 is becoming more common on laptops and can be added to many motherboards using a compatible add-in card. Posts from AVerMedia's technical support staff indicated that an M1 driver was in development, but it was never released and MacBooks have largely moved to the M2 chip. AVerMedia doesn't support the M1 Mac ecosystem. There is, however, one major caveat with Mac computers. Macs are also supported, which means a Mac Mini or MacBook Pro could be the ideal pairing with the Live Gamer Bolt. So, any Windows system with a Thunderbolt 3 port will work. This external card is functionally as capable as an internal card but doesn't require installation. That's how the Live Gamer Bolt can capture 4K 60Hz HDR footage as well as faster frame rates at lower resolutions. ![]() Moving from USB to Thunderbolt 3 solves the resource issue for external capture cards in a definitive way. There is software supplied with the capture card, but only to customize the setup and only for Windows. The only other requirements are a spare HDMI port and some screen recording software such as OBS Studio. Your recording computer, which can be either Windows or Mac, needs to support USB 3.2 to allow for the higher data rate required by 4K recording and streaming. And if you want to game at 4K but stream or record at 1080p, HDMI passthrough allows you to do so easily. It supports recording in 4K at up to 30hz and 1080p at up to 120hz. The Signal 4K30 is compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, as well as the previous generation from both companies. This small, high-quality external capture card is everything you need to start creating video content. The NZXT Signal 4K30 is another great piece of hardware to add to that list. NZXT has been producing some incredible computer peripherals and accessories lately, including the Lift Gaming Mouse and Function Mechanical Keyboard. It's also OBS certified, so if you're buying this with Twitch or YouTube streaming in mind, it's a great pick. If you don't need to record or stream in 4K, the EVGA XR1 lite Capture Card is a solid, affordable option. Unlike some other budget capture cards, the EVGA XR1 lite actual does uncompressed NV12 and YUY2 encoding in hardware, so it doesn't rely on your PC for encoding. This capture card features HDMI 2.0 in and out and connects to your PC via USB-C 3.0. This means you can record or stream your gameplay at a more bandwidth-friendly size while still taking advantage of your 4K monitor. The EVGA XR1 lite only shoots 1080p footage at up to 60 frames per second, but it displays full 4K gameplay at the same frame rate. Aren't they more of a PC components brand? Like many brands, the company is expanding its offerings, and if the EVGA XR1 lite Capture Card is any indication, we should hope they continue to do so. A capture card doesn't reduce any workload from the PC itself, so it's only really useful if you want to stream games from gaming consoles.ĮVGA may not be the first company you think of when shopping for capture cards. That's because modern PCs can capture or stream game footage without special hardware. If you are recording or capturing footage exclusively from a PC, a capture card may not be the best solution. A capture card not only bypasses the console limitations but also allows you to customize your stream using your PC and broadcasting software (such as OBS or SLOBS). While consoles starting with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have built-in broadcasting and gameplay recording features, they're often limited and sometimes even block gameplay from viewers. When using a capture card, the source of the audio-visual signal is going to be a game console. In some situations, you'll want the capture card to both record footage and send the signal to an application or AV output at the same time. Essentially, it has to capture an incoming audio-visual signal and then either store it or send it along to somewhere else. What to Look for in a Capture Card in 2023Ī capture card has two jobs it must accomplish to be effective. ![]() |
