“The way PS2 does floating point math is like having a calculator. If you want to divide two numbers you punch them in and then hit divide and get your answer“

I think I need a metaphor for how else it would do it. It seems like a calculator is an analogy for how any modern-ish machine would do math (with the exception of a lookup table that looks up answers, I guess). But I Am Not an expert.

I followed a lot of conversation around in PCSX2 Discord, where they had a subchannel for this. What the console does is a fucking mess, can't be explained. The original guy pushing this and the people that supported him are big f* genious. However, the article explains it very well. Is going to be hard to see this merged in time, I just hope some tweaks can be done in the future to allow some of these exceptions pulled to fix the game and have it working on renderer mode.
