This option is enabled by default to bypass the operating system’s mouse acceleration and sensitivity settings.
This works in fullscreen or when the mouse is captured in windowed mode.
The option can be enabled/disable in the [sdl] section of the configuration file.
Most games work better with raw input enabled (especially when used with modern, very sensitive gaming mice).
Spent the rest of my desktop time packaging the excellent https://github.com/geeksville/steamback and got 99% there (needs some cleanup, but is fully functional for anyone eager):
Since i moved to a new instance, an #introduction is in order 🎮
I go by the name of Omni, i’m 41 years old and avid gamer of many different genres (roguelike, rpg, mmos, retro emulation).
The very first pc gaming experience was at the age of 9 when i got my hands on an Amstrad CPC6128 and was amazed with the whole process of running and playing a game.
Also, i'm a hobbyist small streamer on Glimesh and linux enthusiast. ✌️
Steam will soon use the desktop portal file picker.
In practice, it means Steam will use your native desktop method for selecting and saving files, resulting in better user experience and desktop integration.
This is one of many things Flatpak and GNOME pioneered that improves the Linux desktop for everyone.
Figured as I switched instances I might as well do another #introduction
Hi o/
I am a #LinuxGaming enthusiast and have been using Linux almost exclusively for about eight years now (mostly on Arch.) #FFXIV is where most of my game time goes, but I also play a lot of #pokemon#metroid#retrogaming and pretty much anything #nintendo .
Outside of gaming, I am a #DisneyParks fanatic, really big on their dark rides like The Haunted Mansion, and am a collector of older Disney Parks memorabilia.
CppCast Episode 304:
Modernizing DOSBox with Patryk Obara
The first podcast by C++ developers for C++ developers! Hosted by Rob Irving and Jason Turner.
They talk to Patryk „Dreamer_“ Obara, founder and maintainer of DOSBox Staging, about the DOSBox project itself and the DOSBox Staging repository where he's been working to modernize DOSBox.
It makes me so, so happy to head to ProtonDB and see most, if not ALL of my #Steam library working with #Linux. 😊 💞
I truly do love this and wanna stay using #Arch for as long as possible. #Gaming is one of my biggest hobbies, so knowing I can game comfortably on Linux makes me incredibly happy! #LinuxGaming#PCGaming
This feature allows the user to redirect new and changed files to a different location transparently. The files in the overlay and normal drives are merged at startup and kept up to date when the game writes to the disk.
This feature is useful for redirecting save files or configuration files to a different location (e.g. for backup or cloud saves).
DOSBox Staging Team member John Novak did a very extensive review of the different MIDI modules and their plugin counterparts in a massive review on his blog.
You can digest the whole thing here including his preferences for different games he tested and final verdict.
I discovered about oldgamesdownload[dot]com and found some games I used to play during childhood. However I've grown up and I'm now fully running Linux.
Is there anyway to easily combine the files I can get there with Lutris so I can enjoy those games again ? 😊
Boosts highly appreciated as they will help the Internet doing its magic !
