- Comment on New Steam Deck beta client update: can improve battery life in low power games up to 6% 1 week ago:
No, not quite. 60fps (or 50fps for PAL regions) was basically always the target for 2D games rendered at 240p, because it was easily achievable with the hardware and looked way better.
When 3D games started to appear with the release of the PS1, Saturn and N64, 60fps was often out of the question because the hardware wasn’t powerful enough.
Interlacing doesn’t really have anything to with that. Interlacing just means that of the 480 lines of resolution, only half get shown on screen every frame (always the even or uneven ones). Since the image gets rendered in 480p anyway, it doesn’t matter whether or not the game gets rendered at 60fps or not.
Except when using field rendering, which was popular on the PS2. There, only the lines that get shown that frame get rendered, which is why it only works at 60fps. Maybe that was what you were thinking about?

Think nes, snes, and Sega game emulation. No reason to run over 30fps.
Why would you run such games at half the framerate? 60fps was the norm back then.

Just bought that yesterday, I searched for a comment here mentioning it. Im already at it grinding tracks for 30 times in a row for that perfect run that I’m totally definitely gonna get soon.

This is a really cool project. Looks pretty convincing at first sight
- Comment on eXtremeRate Announces Clicky Buttons upgrade for Steam Deck 1 year ago:
Yeah the SP is quite something special. It uses clicky buttons, but also keeps the rubber membranes which give it this softer clickiness. Not sure why Nintendo did that? Though to be fair it was also one of the first consoles to use clicky buttons, maybe they just hadn’t completely figured it out yet?
