How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I’m curious to hear what you did with yours :o

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.
I am a certified lurker.

That’s the one, thank you!
Oh, it is indeed the second one, thank you!!
Yeah, I’m watching a video on the PS2 version and it seems completely different 😅 I might try that one, actually… But yeah, it might not have the nostalgia factor.
Yeah, I get you :c
I use CoreCtrl to fix my GPU’s atrocious fan curve, which is a necessity since normally it overheats to high hell. With CoreCtrl, I have a nice fan curve that makes my GPU rarely, if ever, run hotter than 70°C.
I can try to help. Are you using Linux or Windows? (I admittedly don’t have much experience using git on Windows)
Assuming you use Linux: usually, what I do is create a folder in my Documents directory specifically for handling Git projects (mostly because I like being organized), then open a terminal window there (right-click and press “Open Terminal Here”) or CD to its directory (for example, if it’s in home/<your username>/Documents/Git, run cd ~/Documents/Git
).
Then, go to the github page, click the green Code button, and copy the URL there, which you will use to pull its git repository. Normally, you would then do git clone <git URL>
, but the instructions say this uses submodules, so you should instead use git clone --recursive-submodules https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp.git
. Don’t bother making a specific folder for this project because git automatically does that.
Then, go inside the folder containing the cloned git repository, make a folder inside it for containing the compiled build of the project (name it, say, “build”), move inside said folder, and then run cmake ..
(you may have to install this package first depending on if your distribution includes it or not) and then cmake --build
. I think it then should be done.
Does all this also apply to distrobox? I don’t use podman, but I do use distrobox, which I think is a front-end for it, but I don’t know if the commands listed here would be the same.
I played with my PS2 quite a lot when I was young, particularly because it had a much better version of a game I grew up with (NFS Hot Pursuit 2); it then introduced me to other games I quite liked, such as Test Drive Unlimited.
It sadly broke sometime around early 2018 because I didn’t take good care of it. Now I emulate it but still wish my console worked.
How does Bazzite differ from Kinoite? I use the latter but have been hearing about the former for a while now, and was curious what exactly sets it apart from what I use and what benefits I’d have switching to it.
Cops are gutless cowards who can only punch down on people who can’t fight back; as soon as they meet someone who poses even a slight threat they cower away.
I just hope the Citra forks won’t be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can’t help but be nervous anyway…
I have had a LOT of issues, but they’re mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).
I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.
Reading these comments is making me sweat nervously because I made an 80s-themed submod for a racing game with era-appropriate metal music, and it seems that a decent chunk of the bands I chose for the soundtrack turned out to be fascist or fascist-sympathizing 😓
That’s good to hear. Everyone else was only talking about the US and EU, and I’m like… “what about me, who doesn’t live in either?” 😐
oh good lord i hope not.
Can confirm (but mine is the regular trim rather than the X version).
Yes, for over a year now (since early December 2022, don’t remember the exact date).
My experiences with it seem to constantly be different than that of most users, because Wayland was a direct upgrade for me - I couldn’t play games properly on X11 at all because they would stutter and freeze really badly even when Vsync was disabled and the game reported to be running at 60 FPS, but Wayland fixed the issue altogether for me.
…Granted, I’m on an AMD card. If I was on Nvidia it’d probably be another story entirely. :x
I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/
Honestly, you don’t have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅
