is this project alive? #560

Closed alexis23ange closed 8 years ago

alexis23ange commented 8 years ago

hasnt been a update in god knows how long so are you guys alive or did vulkan break everything

dawid2193487 commented 8 years ago

Hell yeah it is active. That something doesn't get as many pull requests as the linux kernel per day doesn't mean it ain't active.

TheDudeFromCI commented 8 years ago

The last code update on the main branch was 19 days ago. But it's probably highly active on other branches. Probably private ones that haven't been pushed yet.

Razzile commented 8 years ago

the vulkan branch is the main focus right now. I'm guessing at the moment @benvanik and others are familiarising themselves with the vulkan API before they do anything too big

gibbed commented 8 years ago

This project has been for over three years, and has a pretty set history of alternating periods of activity and inactivity. A month of inactivity is not uncommon.

MightyFo0l commented 8 years ago

In comparison to the RPCS3 project it's going pretty slow. But I think that's because not many people are big fans of MS/Xbox and rather contribute to the RPCS3 project.

MrSapps commented 8 years ago

@MightyFo0l you should get a job as a project manager, basing progress on lines of code/number of commits is the exact rubbish they would come up with!

MightyFo0l commented 8 years ago

I'm not basing that on the amount of lines of code at all, but more on community activity and the amount of playable games. It was not my intention to offend anyone.

Also compare https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pulse to https://github.com/benvanik/xenia/pulse

Xenia coming to Patreon page ? https://www.patreon.com/

Developing a fully functional emulator is a massive time-consuming project. With donations you can show your appreciation for this effort and at the same time support the development.

MightyFo0l commented 8 years ago

If that would speed up development I would gladly donate.

AussiePlick commented 8 years ago

I am very happy this Project is still very alive and active. Maybe I am crazy but I prefer xbox 360 to PS3. Nothing beats a good session of Halo I can also run way more games in Xenia than in RPCS3. Yes I would also be happy to donate Cemu Devs are doing it so why not you.....

MrSapps commented 8 years ago

@MightyFo0l that doesn't not show what happens in forks e.g:

This branch is 84 commits ahead of benvanik:master. Latest commit af7fc20 2 days ago @DrChat DrChat Beginnings of texture conversion/uploads

So clearly not dead.

MightyFo0l commented 8 years ago

O nice I didn't know that branch.

Maybe it might be an idea to make a twitter account or blog to post updates about the project, so more people 'outside' the project know what key developers are working on. It's hard to grasp what's going on just by looking at this Github page.

MrSapps commented 8 years ago

Just idle in IRC and watch what devs are doing. They do this in their free time so it wouldn't make sense to keep posting "I'm now doing X Y Z" on twitter or whatever.

AussiePlick commented 8 years ago

I check the compatibility page every day, to see new entries and dev feedback on the issues. Hence i stalk Razzile and gibbed input on the compatibility page. Cheers guys

PS, sorry I forgot your input SakataGintokiYT

DrChat commented 8 years ago

Please don't make issues like this, they're absolutely unnecessary.

As for progress, I've been working on the Vulkan backend for the past week. Mainly have been setting up rendering architecture, will work on getting visible output next.

SpaHost commented 8 years ago

+1 on DrChat said, and i propose to make main branch the vulkans branch... Why?

Razzile commented 8 years ago

xenia doesn't use, nor plans to use DX12

MrSapps commented 8 years ago

Obviously the vulkan branch will be merged to master when its ready just like any other WIP branch.

kkthxbye-code commented 8 years ago

This should just be closed, but regarding the state of the project, benvanik is busy at work, which would explain the slump:

alexis23ange commented 8 years ago

so the project is dead ok thanks

Razzile commented 8 years ago

obvious troll ?

AussiePlick commented 8 years ago

Maybe low IQ

MrSapps commented 8 years ago

The only thing this guy has ever contributed to is .gitignore file, clearly low IQ.

Razzile commented 8 years ago

looking on his profile at the other comments he's made he looks like a.) a major troll or b.) a massive douche

mchtt commented 8 years ago

c.) a genius.
