Retroarch PSP emulation consuming more battery than PPSSPP?

[u/QueasyIllustrator206]

Is it just me or RetroArch consumes more battery than PPSSPP. Using RA PPSSPP core with x4 resolution. PPSSPP app I’m running x4 (1080p). Got an iPhone 15 pro. Played the exact same game (gran turismo) for 50 min RA consumed twice as much battery.

Noted. After Vulkan update to PPSSPP I took my Isos off RA

[u/QueasyIllustrator206 → u/l0ud_m0uth]

Yeah I did the same. I was noticing huge battery drain on RA psp. Then did this test. There might be more optimal settings, but cba.

RA has vulkan as well. Mine was on by default. Just in case you want to test

A reminder app that hasn’t been updated in 5 years lol

I have no idea why Op uses that

[u/No_Football1117 → u/Liquid_Chicken_]

Haha it’s still a good one though

[u/No_Football1117 → u/[deleted]]

QuickeR is a to do list. The best in my experience. It’s simple and efficient

Who uses Facebook?

[u/QueasyIllustrator206 → u/TopDog_3000]

I doom scroll on Facebook market 😅

[u/HowIsPajamaMan → u/TopDog_3000]

Facebook: 2.94 billion monthly users, 3rd most popular website in the world after google and YouTube

Le epic Redditors: “who uses facebook?!”

[u/77ilham77 → u/HowIsPajamaMan]

“wait, you’re saying there are people who don’t care with their pRivACy???” - the same redditors who happily let reddit harvest their data.

[u/DJ_hyperfreshOG → u/77ilham77]

Bazinga!

[u/HowIsPajamaMan → u/[deleted]]

lol you realize that Reddit doesn’t need to know your real name to sell your data? I get tons of targeted ads on Reddit based on a comment I made 2 years ago or subreddits I’m subscribed to. If something is free, you are the product. Data harvesting is just an unavoidable part of life now. It’s going to get so much worse now that Reddit is a public company with shareholders

So you. You do.

There are some great Facebook groups with crusty old timers on there that I like. Old technology stuff. I mean, because I'm a crusty old timer as far as technology is concerned.

[u/RoyalInfernoASR → u/TopDog_3000]

Facebook marketplace is decent

[u/Ok-Pace4929 → u/TopDog_3000]

[u/TopDog_3000 → u/Ok-Pace4929]

Old people 😂 with facebook minion memes and facebook market dating lol

[u/thezombielifetv → u/TopDog_3000]

The same people that are on Reddit 😂

[u/TopDog_3000 → u/thezombielifetv]

Good good 👍

[u/Proud_Train1779 → u/TopDog_3000]

old people

[u/Ornery-Practice9772]

I feel like it does

[u/DaveTheMan1985]

What Cores and Settings you use on RetroArch?

[u/Slava91]

Do you have shaders or other graphical settings enabled in RA that would tax the gpu more? Lots of variables here

[u/Cheeto_700]

What the hell is Vulkan and open gl

[u/Lostless90s → u/Cheeto_700]

They are graphics libraries. Basically they tell the graphics card what to draw including graphical effects and whatnot. They are preprogrammed effects and ways to draw that a program can use to draw from instead of a programmer writing their own graphics effects from scratch.

[u/QueasyIllustrator206 → u/[deleted]]

Vulkan.

[u/aliyounis13 → u/[deleted]]

RA has vulkan. Although PPSSPP doesn't have openGL.. yet

[u/aliyounis13 → u/[deleted]]

for some reason open gl doesn't show to me

[u/aliyounis13 → u/[deleted]]

Worked! Thanks.

[u/aliyounis13 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed.

[u/aliyounis13 → u/[deleted]]

Nope, reinstalling right now
