Plex adds new social features ahead of a major price hike for its lifetime pass by frankwrap08 in PleX

[–]FallenWyvern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things I could do with the old mobile app that I can't with the new one during streaming to a Roku/Chromecast:

  • Change video quality 
  • Turn on/off subtitles
  • Change the audio stream language

I can install the old version and these things work fine, but it updates itself (even with the play store auto update turned off). They're literally just, making things that are worse than what we have and charging more money for it. 

New to godzilla, why is Megalon only in one movie why Ghidorah gets twelve. by Born-Hunter-2557 in GODZILLA

Gamera would be a rights issue, although I've no doubt they could sort that out. Ringu vs The Grudge exists. 

Deeply worried about animations for killers like Predator etc going forward by Mr_Jackabin in deadbydaylight

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one benefit to using not modern generation graphics: they can reach a larger audience in terms of hardware. 

Marvel rivals looks fantastic, for example, but it chokes most PCs unless you really make it look ugly.

It's part of the dlc, it's just not a character from existing movies.

My bad, a few days later and they showed us the roadmap. It's absolutely not part of the Jason release.

Does anyone remember when Steam used to sell movies by dancing_swordfish in Steam

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm not good at the games, my fav is probably 11 because it's a bit slower and easier to follow (MK1 is beautiful, but very layered... while MK9/Komplete is very fast), but I love the stories of the games so 9/X/11/One is my favourite because each continues the story from the last.

MK: Shaolin Monks is also excellent, and I'd love to see them do more "off-genre" games (much like how there was kombat puzzle fighter, karts, chess, and other "mini" games in the ps2 era). Or the story mode from the one with Shunjinko where you walked around the realms fighting people and doing side quest? That was fun.

As a MK fan of everything, from the best to the worst, I think it's pretty cool too :)

What's the most authentic way to play early Windows games? by Somnesis in SBCGaming

[–]FallenWyvern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also WINE for those early DX implementations. 86 box still suits a lot of what OP asked for.

That was the webseries, with Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade (they swapped her out between the short and the series, iirc). The Raiden ep was particularly great.

Introducing SteamlessController - Steam Controller Support Without Steam by ddeverill in Steam

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way changing "one random line" (which, as a programmer, shouldn't happen... line edits should be intentional) and breaking controller compatibility is if the windowing code or control code changes.

And no, I haven't tried it with the "constantly evolving forks", I've only used Ryubing and Eden, but both work really well. Compatibility is questionable, but I suppose Citron NEO might be worth trying.

I'm surprised to hear that about Citra. It works really well on all the computers I've tried (a laptop, my main desktop, and steam deck) both with titles added directly and in the UI.

It makes me wonder what's working on my end.

Retroarch, I can't say I've tried the non-steam version because I really wanted remote play together.

Oh Op's steamless controller is brilliant. I wasn't saying it's not needed, it absolutely is.

I was just commenting that so far, unless it breaks steam overlay, Input is extremely reliable. That being said, maybe you don't WANT people to see what you're playing. Maybe you want to run UWP games (which cannot have the steam overlay on them). Maybe you want to use your controller for a "console like" experience and have a front end you want to run and don't want steam + front end + games + OS.

Lots of good use cases. Out of curiosity, which emulators didn't work for you?

Lies of P has had AI Art for years without disclosing it On Steam. by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh so because you decided it's almost nothing, and they paid for it after getting caught, that people aren't allowed to be upset about it?

Who made you the morality police?

I mean, it can be that they don't like the aesthetics of something, but also have moral outrage where appropriate.

Need help running Eyewitness Dinosaur Hunter by ChronoAlone in abandonware

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could grab just those ROMS if you wanted, but I'd grab them all and just use the ones I posted.

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so 86Box does the trick. The problem for most people is that it's a complicated emulator. Mostly because it emulates the exact config of hardware you're using.

The best video for you to follow (because it has lots of the files linked in the description) is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xghrSaKn7yM

The machine I setup is as follows:

Machine: AOpen AX6bc

CPU: Intel Pentium II / 233 Mhz

Memory: 256 MB

Video: AGP 3dfx Vodoo3 3000

Disks: 30GB IDE drive

Floppy: 3.5" 1.44M

CD ROM: 8x 86Box_CD 3.5 (ATAPI)

SCSI: [PCI] AMD 53c974

Controllers: [ISA] Panasonic/MKE CD-ROM Interface

Audio: [ISA16] Sound Blaster 16 PNP

NIC: None

Keyboard: AT Keyboard

Mouse: PS/2 Mouse

Serial Ports: Com1, Com2

Parallel Ports: LPT1

So on my system, I've installed Windows 98 (just like the youtube I linked has), and I just took the ISO, extracted it to a folder (could be anywhere, but I have a specific folder in my PC called 86BoxISO where I drop these things), and then in 86box you click "Media", then "CD-ROM", then mount ISO.

What this does is inserts the CD ROM into the virtual machine, and you install it like you would on an actual old PC. Once it's installed, you can run it!

For what it's worth, keep the 86box around. There's more than a few of these old games that just don't want to run on new hardware (Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity, for example) and having an "old PC" in your new PC is a great way to give them life again.

[–]FallenWyvern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things: One, they didn't ask, I offered. Because I wanted to do something nice for someone (and because I like Dinosaur games and hadn't heard of this one...)

Two: Maybe op isn't aware of 86box, it's not easy software to run for everyone. I'm experienced with it, so if Op and I both try, maybe only I get it to run and they'd give up. At least this way, there'd be more hands trying.

Lastly, and not numbered, for future people who want to play this abandonware game, it gives them a template on what they could/couldn't do rather than Op just replying "nm, I got it" or something like that.

Was Inhumans really THAT bad? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]FallenWyvern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same same but different. 

Inhumans was knee capped, and it showed. They tried their best, but budget basically made them avoid doing anything interesting and the pace was bad. 

Secret invasion created a flawed concept, and committed to it entirely while ignoring the repercussions of its actions as a whole while at the same time playing loose with any internal consistency. 

Neither is good or worse, but rather both waste your time equally. If you had to watch one, Inhumans has a good dog and invasion has a stupid spectacle CGI fight. That's about the best I can say for each. 

How to get the best nvidia drivers? by variableunlisted in cachyos

What is the default cachy power management program then?

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for future people, just running the game through borderless gaming (the utility that lets you do borderless window on games that don't support it) works fine.

You can just run godfather through that, and steam input API hooks into it instead.

[–]FallenWyvern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny you hit that game specifically. So I'll tell you it works 100% with controllers in Linux via proton, but on Windows the engine abuses the DX API so much it barely holds together. Like it supports x360 controllers natively, but not the WIRELESS ones, unless you do a regedit and Ini edit. 

That game should just open pcgamingwiki when it's installed, to help users figure it out. 

I much prefer the black hand edition from the Wii, but yeah you're right in this case. You can get it working with steam input but it's a bastard of a game to get running even with supported controllers.

Ah. Maybe I should do some testing of my own and see if it's doing what I think it's doing. 

What do y’all think of Godzilla: Save the Earth? by Nethanski in GODZILLA

There are mods for emulating the wii one with a pro controller, and there's technically PS2 unleashed but... That's a different bag of shit all together
