I'm trying to run Project Diva Megamix on my Poco M7 Pro, I know that this game doesn't use that much resources on PC and i thought that at low resolutions, this was doable on my device.

However, one thing I noticed is that my mobile has 8gb of ram, and even at the menu, almost all the ram is immediately eaten by I don't know what.

I checked the task manager, the game itself is only using 1gb. taking in account the app started at around 3.5gb ram and just grew up to 6.7, reaching 7.2gb when a song is loaded (making it unplayable at this point).

I think android starts using swap memory at this point, which slows down the whole system considerably.

so i'm wondering if there would be good ways to check what exactly is using that much ram, and if there's a way to bring it down to more tolerable levels.

setup :

I'm running a Poco M7 Pro with a Mediatek Dimensity 7025 Ultra. 8GB of ram. The game runs on Bionic with

General : Proton 11.0.1-arm64ec-1, 854x480 resolution,PulseAudio

Graphics : Wrapper, System, SurfaceFlinger, DXVK, 1.12.0-sarek-0

Emulation : FEXCore 2605 with Extreme preset

GameNative is an Android app which uses Steam Proton, the same tech the Steam deck uses, combined with some x86 PC CPU emulation using FEX/Box64 for it to work on all ARM Android devices.

You can install games directly from steam with it with saves synchronisation.

It can be a bit finnicky for it to start up but by tweaking some settings the games run perfectly. Even better for games that use the Little Busters English engine. As this engine has a native touch screen mode. So if you set GameNative to touch screen, the game's controls feel just like a native android game.

I didn't have any specific negativity toward the fender integration and name change. some of the added AI features also didn't feel too bad since they stuck to things like stem separation which were a pretty beneficial feature to creators.

But it feels like with this new release they're starting to show that their goal seems to be banking on the generative AI trend in order to generate a subscription ecosystem surrounding it which is a terrible ecosystem for creators to be stuck in.

I really hope to see them reverse course as this is definitely not a road i want to see Studio One/Pro go down into.

I'll keep following the news over time, I hope Fender will realise what a mistake it is, but I don't really expect much honestly, it feels like most companies want to hop in and milk the cow while it's still "time" until it runs dry.

I expected the price to increase but in the end it stayed at 16 bucks. I originally bid mostly for the psp game but i noticed the movie trilogy bluray included is actually pretty cool too.

I don't really know what the things at the bottom are though

I haven't played in months so I need to go back to practicing (so please excuse the poor playing), but I finally finished the electronics of my custom Rin guitar, making it finally usable.

It's based on a Squier Strat HSS that's been completely modded into a whole other guitar. It's equipped with 3 golden single coil pickups from fleor, a 2 point floating bridge, locking tuners (also gold colored). I got the custom pickguard printed on musicdesign, and the rin artwork is artwork I commissionned from the artist cspshino years ago.

it's not too visible on video but the pickups, the bridge and the knobs are very shiny IRL

It was sold as "junk" like many japanese items that are not perfectly working, but seems like it actually just needs a battery change according to the listing which is something I can do easily as I am used to do soldering for this kind of stuff.

What I'm wondering is if you have any advices for a new DX7 owner ?

For instance good resources on learning how to work with it to make original sounds (since i'm new to fm synthesis), the kind of recommended setup for it speaker wise etc.

I do have an audio interface to record it on my pc and i have a boss katana 50 mk2 guitar amp which i guess likely could serve temporarily (on a clean channel just to play around with all its effects like reverb, delay etc) but i'm not sure about the best kind of setup for it, not even the recommended stand to put it on.

Thanks in advance.
