I was starting to group together my older computers for potential recycling, but they’re now going to be repurposed after thorough testing. Not a fan of where big tech currently wants to go

What an absolute non-answer Moore provided.

Remember which companies are pulling this nonsense and boycott them going forward.

The fact that Twilight Princess HD and The Wind Waker HD are still trapped there surprises me.

I need to reconnect my Wii U again

Ah, no I saw the comment but missed the part where Amazon is letting other companies use the sidewalk protocol. I’m fortunate enough to have neighbors who don’t use Amazon’s stuff, but if other companies are using their tech it’s a moot point.

I wonder if any of these appliances would stop functioning if the bluetooth and wifi module was suddenly disconnected? Not actually asking, just putting the thought out there. I miss “dumb” products.

Would be easier to create a “guest” network to connect those appliances to and make it a LAN (local area network) only. Can’t phone home. Can’t download updates.

Ha, gottem’

Yes. The absolute worst is in the lobby at a doctor’s office. It’s quiet and then filled with whatever video stream they decide to play.

I’ve started carrying my headphones with me to drown out those situations, especially if I know it’s going to be a long wait.

Since everyone will likely give you varied answers I’m going to recommend this list from Protondb.

You can also see what Valve recommends here for another good batch of games.

Me personally, I’ve had great luck with Indie games, Story heavy single player games like Dispatch and for multiplayer, I can guarantee that Helldivers 2 works.

Oh, cool. It’s possible it’s just the version of proton it’s defaulting to if multiple games are crashing.

For X-Plane 11 I would look at what’s listed here on Protondb for a potential fix. More that likely you’ll find the answer you need there.

If that doesn’t work, you could also try installing additional versions of Proton (Glorious Eggroll usually contains fixes that in my experience, just work). You should be able to install them from the Discover store. For that I recommend ProtonPlus if you don’t already have that installed.

And no apology necessary! Gaming on Linux can be frustrating at times. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a game of mine struggle to run, but before Valve released proton it was a massive headache.

Hope that helps get your game running!

I’m going to second this.

What are you using to try and get the game to run? (Wine, bottles, Lutris, Steam, Heroic, etc)

What game are you trying to play?

Hello there!

Seems to be related to this thread:

https://lemmy.world/post/40691479

The OP of that thread had questions regarding flash carts

Sad but true. Right now the only way to guarantee an order is to either be early and fast enough to beat the bots/scalpers or buy something that’s been readily available.

TL;DR - For the Analogue 3D or even the OG N64, I would pick the Summercart 64. More details below.

My preference is likely a bit biased but I prefer the SC64 for the following reasons:

1. It’s open sourced. This may be important as time goes on since the only one who can provide updates to the Everdrive is Krikzz. That said, Krikzz does an amazing job with keeping his stuff updated in a timely manner. He had a fix for the X7 out within a week of the Analogue 3D being released.

2. I prefer the menu layout compared to the ED. All your games appear in one long menu (can page down/up with the c-buttons. On the ED there’s a limit per page. Both still allow you to play and have a good time)

3. Price: I spent around $50 when I bought mine. For comparison, the cost of the X7 was well over double that.

For other systems though (NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Sega systems, etc), until something like the SC64 is available I would absolutely pick up an Everdrive, despite the high cost.

And congrats on getting a system ordered! I know how much it can be a mad dash to get one. Hoping Analogue, INC. changes things to open preorders prior to production going forward after this.

Oh, before I forget. For both the SC64 or the ED64 (technically for anything that isn’t an official retail cartridge) for now they will show up as an “Unknown Cartridge” on the Analogue 3D home screen. This will not have any effect on gameplay

Yes, I have both the A3D and a SC64. Have not had issues with it working.

Quick edit: I also helped a friend with his everdrive x7 and getting it patched. It also works well

Thank you

That’s valid. When the Star Wars Eclipse trailer dropped I didn’t really and still don’t know what to expect from it.

If you haven’t played previous Kotor games, your party usually consists of three characters max at a time like shown in the teaser.

From the swfotor website, it does say that the game is going to be an action RPG. Nothing else of substance has really been shared

Yeah, that’s what I’m expecting with this. As someone who’s played a good amount of Bioware’s games, I’m not putting much stock in the visual fidelity of the teaser trailer they showed here. Definitely interested in where the game takes place however

To be fair that’s usually how these teaser trailers work. Something with more substance would have definitely been nice, but I imagine that’s a few years off at a minimum.

There are a few very small details that stand out if someone has played the older Knights of the Old Republic games though

Yeah, there’s a lot of small details that already show some promise: three characters in the party, the hyperspace engine is clearly based off the Ebon Hawks engines, I’m positive that is the Leviathan in the background and they showed a gizka if you look closely enough. I got enough Kotor vibes from it to warrant revisiting Kotor 1 & 2 in the near future
