  @zering said in Old Computer Appreciation Thread:

  @folly Still haven't had time to dig into this, but don't think I'm forgetting. I'll get on it this weekend hopefully.

  No problem
  I know you are not forgetting this unique stuff,
  I also can't be always behind the computer, so I understand.
  I hear it from you later on.
  Good luck with trying !

  @camman595 yeah you can use PS4 controllers, PS3 controllers without too many issues setting up I think. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS4-Controller/

  I used to use a PS3 controller but switched to 8bitdo ones as they're more retro looking.

  I've got to agree with @Stuffu. Pretty much everybody on this forum is super helpful whenever they can be. I see very few problems go unsolved.

  Cheers to all the moderators and thanks for all your work. You're unsung heroes helping me (and probably a lot of us) keep our sanity through retro gaming and way too much tinkering.

  Party on, dudes! (and dudettes and anybody else that doesn't include).

  @dankcushions The TV is HD-ready so it's actually only 720p and the 1360x768 is the native resolution.

  For curiosity i started playing around with the RetroArch settings. Long story short: USA region roms run pretty nice in -next with framebuffer disabled, while EU region roms (since i am austrian) seem to relay on that framebuffer thing, as they get the glitch at the bottom i mentioned earlier when turned off. I got myself a USA rom of LoZ:OoT and with framebuffer off it looks exactly the same like the EU with framebuffer on but native resolution scale factor 2x. And yeah, that takes the game to an unplayable state. Too sad parallel doesn't take it all. Goldeneye looks NUTS with it.

  @iandaemon Not to get off topic. But I have arthritis in both my knees and left should, Both of my hands. I need my left knee replaced. And I have spine problems I need to get some surgery on it. Worked all my life sense I was 10 and now my body is feeling it. Half of my life a truck unloader and reloading. I did roofing, HUAC’s well helped on them. And a lot of other trades I picked up here and there. Lol

  After dozens of attempts to install win95(tried about twenty win95 images ) under dosbox on my laptop - I finaly did it successfully, without any errors. But after transferring it to raspberyPi, ms explorer.exe errors constantly appears on any of my actions in windows (open My Computer or Control Panel, trying to adjust clock etc.). Help me please. Maybe the image of WIN95.iso is not correct. P.S.Sorry for my english.

I lernt alot and now on github have both srb2 and srb2k sauce files upload. Ive all so reedited the .sh so it makes it really easy for me to update both games.

  I'm getting close.

  I tried the version of xash3d-fwgs on RetroPie-extra as I wasn't getting anywhere with this one.

  It almost boots but there's an issue.

  log

  I can see my mouse cursor in the corner for a few seconds before it boots me back to ES.
  I had a similar problem with iortcw and I'd solved it when I realized the logs indicated the .so files should be in the config folder. That did not work here.

  @zerojay @quicksilver @AdamBeGood Any ideas?

  @retropieuser555 I use the center button on my PS3 controller, which I've set as my trigger for hotkeys. It brings up the PPSSPP menu and I exit using that.

  @pi4papiba I'm using the Monkabuntu 2.0 64bit Ubuntu build. My MESA is 19.3.2.1

  This isn't my primary build for my Pi, My official Pi 4 Retropie image is so my MESA is the current (updated a few weeks ago) stable build that Retropie-update installs. I did consider trying downloading a more cutting edge version but I want to keep my Retropie build stable without having to modify the firmware back.

  When things are more stable I may try an installation of Dolphin over Raspberry Pi OS. This build has several emulators installed but performance on N64 and PSP seems to be much worse than on my official build so I have not bothered with them.

  Out of interest have you been able to successfully connect a real Wiimote on your build? I can connect it but the emulator disables it when the game starts. If I could connect my Wiimote then I could probably give Wii games a more thorough testing. Now I've got some Gamecube games to run at 30FPS I think some Wii game may be viable.
