µPD7220 Enthusiast (pawlicker@outpoa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 08-Feb-2023 05:55:58 JST µPD7220 Enthusiast I'm also not shocked.
The other thing during the Wii U era that everyone doesn't mention is the CPU was a literal dog. I mean, developers hated programming for it because it was simply weaker than that of the 360 for sure, while the PS3 CPU was a clusterfuck but at that point devs knew all these tricks to get more out of the CPU. The 360 CPU was SMT tri-core, the PS3 CPU was single core SMT with the PPE/SPE architecture, and both were 64 bit.
The Wii U CPU on the other hand was a 32 bit 750 core with some weird SMP extension applied to it, no SMT, and at that point devs were abusing weird 360 tricks like HDD caching and streaming data from the disc and HDD at once. -

Today it crashed on the cx3 (I think my scsi card might be an issue) I had to swap nics since the 9801-104 lacked 3.11 driver's and said nic is a ram hog. -

µPD7220 Enthusiast (pawlicker@outpoa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 31-Jan-2023 06:13:20 JST µPD7220 Enthusiast So did the 32x...the thing with the 32x is you had to deal with the cruft of being a Genesis addon among other things. For example the "background" layer (as the AVGN showed in his one video) was done with the Genesis as the 32x video hardware was literally a packed pixel framebuffer. Carmack liked that, but it wasn't good for 3d unless you did it all in software.
It wasn't as bad as the Jaguar mind you and it could pull off some 3d stuff much better, but it was all in software. Something like Darxide was a full on software renderer. -

The problem with the 32x is well, try programming for it. You'll understand why it was a dead-end. -
µPD7220 Enthusiast (pawlicker@outpoa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 31-Jan-2023 05:22:07 JST µPD7220 Enthusiast @xianc78 @ItsSkyDragonz also the high profile split between USA Sega and Japan Sega fucked them over.
No really, there were some high profile clashes between staff and departments and the suicidal USA leadership in the Saturn era.
