CARTRIDGE- A integrated emulator program where you simply drop your ROM files into the drop area, the program will auto-detect and organize each ROM by game system and put it in an organized game library. It's super simple and fast to use. Blue-tooth controller with easy to use control mapping, load/save states, art scraping capabilities with a simple instructions on how to obtain free API. I'm in the process of developing a native SDL2 C++ frame work to able to play more demanding systems. This is a passion project, I appreciate you and contact me if there any issues.

Current cores that are integrated are:

NES, SNES, GBA, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, and Atari 7800.

For Arch Linux users I had a collaborator create a package for Arch users!

Hey all, I was wondering if it was possible for someone to give me some advice around dualsense haptics on cachyos.

I'm trying to play the last of us but i just can't get the haptics to work.

I've tried different versions of protonGE and proton-cachyos.

I can select the dualsense as an audio device, the adaptic triggers work, and I've disabled steam input.

Nothing i change seems to make a difference though.

The game i'm trying to play is The Last of us Part 1

Hey guys,

If you’re using GNOME on Wayland, you’ve probably run into this annoying issue where Steam games don’t have a proper icon in the dock or show duplicate icons.

I got tired of fixing .desktop files manually, so I built a small GTK4 + Libadwaita app to automate it.

What it does:

• Scans ~/.local/share/applications
• Fixes broken StartupWMClass entries
• Automatically fixes all Steam games
• Supports Faugus Launcher (manual per-game fix)

Why this matters:
GNOME groups apps based on StartupWMClass, and a lot of launchers (especially Steam) generate no values → resulting in duplicate icons / broken grouping.

Features:

• Native GTK4 + Libadwaita UI (fits perfectly with GNOME)
• One-click fix for Steam entries

Install (Arch):

yay -S game-icon-fixer-git

Other distros:

git clone https://github.com/AdityaHebballe/Game-Icon-Fixer.git cd Game-Icon-Fixer ./install.sh

GitHub:

oh btw i'm running the installation using Wine via Lutris, I'm trying to install Middle-earth: Shadow of War, actually a girl shared me those files, and upon installation, they are about to surpass 100+ gb, so just wanted to get some feedback, i might waste my time and space both and it'll throw an error in the end, this is the first time i'm installing a game by this method, so please help.

Iv recently installed a fresh install of Arch. I installed CachyOS repos and the CachyOS kernel along with gaming meta and applications packages. My ONLY problem as of now is that i cannot get a game to launch with the game-performance command. Iv installed performance profile daemon and enabled it so i can manually adjust performance in KDE slider. But this command wont launch with a game. Everything else works. Wayland, FSR4, HDR, ect. What is stopping this command? Assumed everything needed was in the packages i installed along with Cachy kernel. If "game-performance" isn't an option is there another command i should be using?

arch, latest kernel(6.19.9), nvidia drivers(595.58), etc. proton-GE 10-34 RTX 3060 12gb, i7 11700k, 32gb ram

game runs alright, but graphics settings dont seem to do a ton despite a clear drop in visual quality (roughly 10 - 15fps), and dropping resolution by setting DLSS/FSR to ultra performace didnt increase performance at all, but it drops my GPU useage from 95% to 70ish?

feels like something odd might be going on, but maybe its just the nvidia tax? i should have NTsync going so i dont think its that..

A while back, I did some OpenGL latency tests under various conditions. There were some inconsistencies that had implications for playing games with V-sync enabled, and it would understandably lead some users to sacrifice perfect fluidity for a more responsive experience.

After updating to Mesa 26.x, I've noticed that this is no longer the case on both Intel and Radeon hardware. Fullscreen games across Xorg and Wayland now have at most two frames of latency between input and presentation without any DriConf intervention. I measured up to four frames of latency previously.

If you're already using VRR, this won't matter, but for non-gaming laptops that would presumably be used for lightweight OpenGL games, you may want to consider playing with V-sync enabled if you had previously decided to forego it due to latency concerns.

My new extension

Marketing

Are you tired of downloading an app or a game, seeing a perfect icon for it in the application menu and then having it fall back to an ugly icon when it launches?
Well, your problems may (finally) come to an end. With this extension you can match all windows that does not have a proper icon with their corresponding desktop entry.
NOTE: We are not responsible for any damage caused by the use of this product (joking).

Context

Jokes aside, this is not a new problem on Gnome, and I took it so seriously that I almost switched to another DE (and I actually did, but came back after a while) sometimes just to see my desktop icons fixed.

I have tried many workarounds to avoid manual intervention, but they usually only solve very specific scenarios.

Some context, for those who dont know what causes this: its related to how Gnome matches applications + with developers that do not care about Gnome problems. Gnome needs at least a match between the desktop entry name and the app id or wmclass (x11 stuff), using the StartupWMClass property inside the desktop entry.

Since Steam games dont set this right way out of the box, we have to check each games wmclass and manually update the desktop entry. For x11 proton games, there is a pattern (steam_app_<id>), so it’s relatively easy to fix. Wayland and native apps are a completely different story. With Wayland, it’s usually the executable name in lowercase. Native apps, pattern is… there’s no real pattern at all.

Other solutions

I tried to create an user service, but it only solves the case for x11 Proton games, since there is a easy pattern there. For wayland version, there is no consistent pattern (usually just the executable name), and native games are even worse.

At one point, I started overcomplicating things by trying to parse Steam files to figure out which compatibility tool each game uses. The idea was to locate the executable for Wayland titles based on that. For native games, the only viable approach seems to be hardcoding values in a text file.

Other solution was to try to wrapper every game inside a cli that will control the wmclass (or appId if possible) and automatically fix their desktop entry. That one I find too complicated and for that I stopped the development.

The shinny stuff

Now, here’s my newest solution (which is working really well so far, but it is still in testing tbh). I created an extension that looks for windows without icons and tries to match them heuristically to the most probably desktop entry.

Since most cases are pretty obvious, it works quite well. For example, if the game is called “R.E.P.O” and the desktop entry is “R.E.P.O..desktop” (yest with double point at the end), it’s just a matter of assigning the WM_CLASS we see in Looking Glass to it. Simple as that.

The extension searches for matches, assigns a score to avoid misunderstanding and only applies changes when the match is strong enough. The heuristic method and scoring system are constantly being improved as I continue testing. I also plan to give users control about scoring and what rules should be enable.

Another important detail I don’t modify your original desktop entries. Instead, I create a new one in a subdirectory that mirrors the original, except with the correct StartupWMClass. I also add the NoDisplay=true flag to avoid duplication on entries in the application menu.

Does it process all windows all the time? Yes and no. It keeps track of which windows (by WM_CLASS) have already been processed, so no window is handled twice, even if you close and reopen it. This state resets at the end of the session or when the extension is toggled.

Does it impact performance? That is a good question but Its hard to check the resources since it blends in with Gnome shell in system monitors, but so far I have nott noticed any performance impact. If anyone does, please report it and I will investigate.

Is it published? Not yet. I want to go through a longer testing phase with my own setup first. If anyone is willing to test it, feel free and please share your experience.

Future improvements:

• Improve on heuristic rules to avoid misunderstanding
• A way to give the total control about scoring to the user
• A way to easily undo what the extension did (Currently just deleting the sub path its enough)

On CachyOS Plasma, also had the same problem on Mint Cinnamon a week ago, running the Steam version. The crashes survived a reinstall and the latest game patch.

I can play fine for a while but at some point it will crash, on Mint it would freeze my computer and had to smother the power button. They happen regardless of what maps I'm running, I can be on the most fps crushing delirium map but then get a crash when crafting on the hideout. I can also play other performance heavy games and be fine.

Plasma runs Wayland, Cinnamon X11. RTX 2060 S, i57400, 16GB, using a secondary SSD where I put all my games.

Is running Arch with the Cachy kernel + repositories the same as running Cachy os, just less bloated? Does the kernel include optimizations and the scheduler Cachy uses? I l love the performance and snappiness of Cachy but Im interested in going to Arch just for minimalism / less packages i don't need. i familiar already with management ect.

I can confirm the GTX 1050 is working via vkcube, and shows up in vkinfo, when I switch the gpu using system76 power, however it does not work in steam, resulting in the error above. I have not had much luck debugging this issue hoping someone can help here. I am on arch with the both vulkan intel drivers and nvidia drivers from the aur as I am on an older gpu that is not supported by the latest package. I know the 1050M does support vulkan

So I’ve been looking into playing GC and Wii games via Dolphin, unfortunately, playing with a standard controller just doesn’t work given the GC’s awkward (terrible layout) and the Wiimote….

So I’ve got the Mayflash GC adapter working, it was literally a plug and play experience.

With the Wii Sensor Bar, I used Protontricks to install the drivers.

That’s it, it was literally that easy. I’m honestly shocked.

I’ve also managed to the get a DualShock 2 working, and Steam can read it as a PS3 controller.

My god I love Linux (Bazzite) in my case.

I'm planning to install Bazzite on a new build, but I'm not entirely sure where to get the right drivers or what tools I should be using for management and monitoring.

Dou you have any suggestions?
