« on: July 14, 2023, 11:42:48 am »
STALKER now runs natively on IBM POWER thanks to openXray and porting progress over a few months. Performance isnt the greatest so far but its been stable with no crashes and perfectly playable

Applications and Porting / Half-life/xash3d
« on: July 02, 2023, 07:56:04 pm »
Xash3d now supports ppc64le, was added to the git pretty simply when I asked in the discord and half-life is pretty flawless witht his "port"

you'll need to compile hlsdk-portable as well. I assume counter strike and everything else xash3d handles runs flawlessly. FPS is great. Although in time I think I'd prefer FreeHL.
but half-life is now on POWER,

Operating Systems and Porting / Can't get vulkan working on opensuse leap 15.4
« on: February 01, 2023, 01:45:00 pm »
EDIT: nevermind, there aren't vulkan drivers for openSUSE ppc64le
The library is installed, it worked perfectly under x86. however any applications with a vulkan renderer just crash, basically saying there isn't vulkan available.

General Discussion / 3.5 mic and dac/amp don't work under opensuse leap
« on: January 30, 2023, 07:55:53 pm »
so i have a fiio k5 pro and a typical microphone that worked just fine under opensuse tumbleweed and fedora 37, however they don't work under opensuse leap 15.4 at all (they work under leap15.4 amd64 just fine)
any guesses to where i can start? dmesg shows them showing up just fine.

Operating Systems and Porting / any user experiences with openSUSE leap?
« on: August 22, 2022, 06:22:25 am »
looks like the current 15.4 supports ppc64le, i don't see a lot of people discussing it though. mainly fedora or debian.
anyone here try leap 15.4 yet on power9?
