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

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

This is what I really enjoy about RA. When I started going through games on it, it made me change how I played the Mega Man games. Absolutely worth it. I need to get back to playing some more retro games again.

You’re probably going to find that the terminal will come up at some point no matter what version of Linux you choose.

For most I would recommend Mint, but since you mentioned having a negative experience previously, perhaps Zorin OS would be a better alternative?

If you want a hardened OS that would be difficult to break, an immutable OS may be a better route for you. Here’s a link with some options to choose from. My recommendation would be Fedora Silverblue.

As someone else mentioned, you will still need to use a password when making changes to the system. You can set it to boot without a password if you prefer to. I use Bazzite (gaming focused immutable OS; based on Fedora Silverblue) and I want to say 90% of the time I only need my password at boot.

If you need office apps, LibreOffice and Open Office should do what you need. MS office can be a challenge to get running, but the online web versions will run out of the box.

Hope that helps!

Just quoting this from the linked post:

“I’m a KeePassXC maintainer. The Copilot PRs are a test drive to speed up the development process. For now, it’s just a playground and most of the PRs are simple fixes for existing issues with very limited reach. None of the PRs are merged without being reviewed, tested, and, if necessary, amended by a human developer. This is how it is now and how it will continue to be should we choose to go on with this. We prefer to be transparent about the use of AI, so we chose to go the PR route. We could have also done it locally and nobody would ever know. That’s probably how most projects work these days. We might publish a blog article soon with some more details.”

First I’ve seen this, so I appreciate the post OP. It’s four months old too, so I have no idea what and if anything has changed since the quoted post

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad that got it running.

If you haven’t used heroic before it will also let you pull your libraries from Amazon, GOG and Epic if you use any of them.

As someone who keeps the battle.net launcher around for StarCraft 1 & 2, I’ve seen my fair share of issues with Lutris. For the longest time I was able to run the StarCraft games and Overwatch without problems. Over the last few years though, I’ve encountered random issues where I can’t get it running again.

Rather than keep messing with Lutris, on my current install (Bazzite), I installed the Heroic launcher and did a manual install for battle.net. You can choose multiple wine versions or even Proton if you prefer. I have not had any issues with either the launcher or StarCraft games since. Good chance it may allow you to run WoW too.

Good luck!
