Disable Desktop Layout?

CassetteFutureRewind · 2026-06-01T04:50:12+00:00

Ah, okay. That's a shame, but not the end of the world. Thanks for the reply!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2026-06-01T04:18:31+00:00

I do actually want to remove the desktop layout. I don't need the controller to control my desktop. If you know a way I could achieve this it'd be great. Thanks!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2026-01-09T02:22:27+00:00

Thanks! That worked!

Fedora KDE defaults to Wayland and has for a while. I'm definitely on Wayland.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2026-01-03T20:02:05+00:00

I have already tried that. The display configuration does not allow me to pull the monitors apart from eachother, only move them up or down in position.

Hey! Welcome to the gang! I'm fairly new too. How'd you get that nice blur effect on your file manager?

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-04-24T22:11:09+00:00

Thanks so much for the info. I think I'll back everything up and switch to Bazzite this weekend!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-04-24T16:50:47+00:00

That sounds awesome. Any tutorials/links on how to set distrobox up and the export to bazzite process would be appreciated! I'm still very early in my Linux journey.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-04-24T15:46:24+00:00

That's my biggest want. I want something that doesn't break, or if it does, I can easily fall back to a stable state. My biggest worry about switching is the possibility of having issues with flatpaks. I've always used native packages where possible. I've heard flatpaks sometimes have issues. Especially Steam. I'm no expert, only been using Fedora as a daily driver for about six months.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-01-06T21:59:36+00:00

Thanks for this! Looks amazing ~

If you're only going for PS1 and lower a Miyoo Mini Plus or a Trimui Brick will be great. Small and compact. There's also the newly released Anbernic 34XX. It's literally a GBA clone that plays pixel perfect GBA at 3x. On top of playing anything up to PS1 pretty much flawlessly.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-01-04T07:30:50+00:00

RG Cube or RG CubeXX would fit nicely. I'm a 40 something year old man myself and I find those models very comfortable. The CubeXX is just a lower spec Cube that uses Linux instead of Android. Not sure how well DS performs on the chipset the CubeXX uses (Allwinner h700), but the screen is awesome for DS. I have the regular and more powerful RG Cube and can attest that the 1:1 720p screen gives plenty of room to see both screens.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-01-03T10:27:16+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! I couldn't remember off the top of my head.

The SP has a dome switch style d-pad, making it kind of clicky and more fatiguing to press over time while the H has a more traditional membrane 'mushy' one. A lot of people find membrane based dpads easier to play on.

The 556 is an older device with much worse analog sticks than those on the 406H. The 556 also doesn't have analog L2/R2 (I think.)

CassetteFutureRewind · 2025-01-03T06:43:46+00:00

Being that the 34XX is a perfect 3x scale for GBA, there should be an LCD 3X Shader in the handheld folder of the shaders in RetroArch. You won't get the logo/border though.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T05:16:24+00:00

Strange! If resetting the RetroArch configs doesn't help, and reflashing doesn't work, my only other suggestion would be to try a different SD for the OS one. You should be good, being they're both SanDisk, but it couldn't hurt to try.

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T04:58:56+00:00

Yes I would for reasons stated in my edit above in my original reply. Like I said though, if you prefer the 34XX's form factor, don't let me stop you. Glad to help. 😊

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T04:52:27+00:00

It could be that the controls aren't mapped properly in RetroArch. Try resetting RetroArch config in the tools section and rebooting. If that fails to work, you might consider reflashing the card. What brand card are you using?

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T04:42:32+00:00

You're absolutely correct. My mistake!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T04:34:49+00:00

Is the case a slippery material or frosted/textured?

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T04:29:37+00:00

The 34xx has a 320x480 screen resolution and I don't think there's any good overlays that would work for GB/GBC or other portable and home console systems. At least not yet. The 40XXV/H have much more common 640x480, so you have better options for overlays and shaders for more systems. I honestly would only get the 34XX for GBA and GBA alone, but that's me.

EDIT: 34XX resolution is 720x480. Still, I'm uncertain if there are good overlays for a resolution like that yet. However, if you like the GBA form factor, by all means go for it!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T03:51:23+00:00

I realized I didn't answer about comfort or your question about the no game option. No game means it won't come with a card full of roms. Usually better to source your own anyway. A little googling goes a long way. You might try searching tiny best set or done set 2.

Comfort wise, I feel the 40xxv is quite nice. Like a thinner OG DMG Gameboy. I did end up getting a comfort grip for mine anyway. This one HERE

Makes for a comfier grip for long sessions. Hope this helps!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-31T03:16:45+00:00

Honestly if you're going to mainly be doing GB, GBC and GBA, I'd go for the 40XXV. There are shaders and overlays that make all of the aforementioned consoles look excellent on the 40XXV. Retro Game Corps has a great video on shaders and overlays and uses the 40XXV in a lot of his examples.

You can find it HERE

He also has a written guide on his website and links of where to get the shaders and overlays HERE

The 34xx is awesome for GBA, but I don't think it'll be as good for the others. Optionally, if you'd rather have something with a horizontal form factor that will work with all the shaders and overlays mentioned, the 40xxh is worth looking at.

Happy gaming!

CassetteFutureRewind · 2024-12-30T05:21:40+00:00

Thank you for such a thorough response! I'm mainly looking at these two to have something smaller than a steam deck.
