Recently a new update for the Sega Saturn Emulator Ymir came out with support for multiple pointing devices to act as separate emulated Virtua Gun and/or Shuttle Mouse

But when I plugged in a second mouse to play some Co-op Virtua Cop 2, both mice inputs are being merged and I cannot assign Mouse 2 to Player 2 which I found out is the default behaviour on Wayland

My current setup is Debian Forky running GNOME 49.5

Is there any way to change this or should I move to an X11 capable Desktop Environment?

I'm on CachyOS and I want to use Optiscaler to try out frame gen on Dragon's Dogma 2. I saw that Goverlay now has Optiscaler included, but the youtube tutorial I saw has some difference on the UI. The video doesn't have the OS version option, but mine has. Do I just leave it at default?

I also don't see the framegen option on mine, is it moved to the Optiscaler menu in the game after pressing insert?

Finally, I'm using Gamescope to upscale my game to 1440p, will it interfere with the Optiscaler? My current launch option for Dragon's Dogma 2 on steam is:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" gamescope -f -H 1440 --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor -- game-performance %command%

Long short story, I lost my Armored Core VI data after reinstalling in Linux Mint. I downloaded it in Linux Mint from Windows without any issues but I had to reinstall it and lost all my data (which never happened on Windows). I don't know what happened or why, but in case anything similar could happen again I want to keep external backups of some games that I don't want to lose, mainly Isaac and Balatro along with AC VI, if I go to my secondary hard drive (where I have the games installed) > SteamLibrary > Steamapps > Comptdata > 814380 (for instance, this is Sekiro) Do I copy the whole 814380 folder? then when I reinstall it in a new system, I download the game, when the 814380 folder is created, I simply replace it? thanks in advance

I have tried proton 11 beta and proton_cachyos 10.0-20260424.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?
