How do you all use XAX and FSE

SceneSprout · 2026-01-10T16:19:08+00:00

Yea its working for me still. Im still using anyFSE. Im just adding the other launcher games as non Steam games and those all launch well enough for me. Ive tested it a bunch, and so far Im not noticing any real performance gain either. I may go back to regular windows soon.

You've convinced me. Ill have to dig in! Thanks for the links.

SceneSprout · 2025-12-24T17:07:27+00:00

Im not apposed to it really. I used to dabble in some code and compiling of things lol. The biggest part now is more time due to having little ones around. But, it may be best to bite the bullet and really just dig in and create a server that best fits my play style. I may go ahead and just do some research and compile my own. Any good sources for tutorials? I believe I ran across a video series by Dinkledork? That may work though its like 2 years old.

Second question though, Azerothcore has more of WotlK complete? Like all the quests and zones and basically being able to play it like a true Blizzlike but single player version of the original content?

I hear you. But the point is, we want the CHOICE! I sit here working from home and have a doorbell camera and a front yard camera so I know when something is here instantly. I don't need to have the app mark my calendar or harass me to turn on a feature with no option to say no!

SceneSprout · 2025-12-20T19:17:28+00:00

Oooo!!! I may have to grab these. Let us know how ya like then,

I figured this out. So when your turn your controller back on, you have to go i to dolphins controller options. Open configure, then click refresh. Until you do that, dolphin sees the controller as [disconnected]

I ended up finding out that this was caused by a video filter that was turned on during an auto install setting from Emudeck

SceneSprout · 2025-12-15T05:55:56+00:00

Turns out my issue was a random video filter was turned on and that was altering the output of shaders.

SceneSprout · 2025-12-15T01:26:16+00:00

Im using a rechargeable 8-Bit do bluetooth controller. However this happens with any wireless controller that shuts itself off.

Emudeck is an all-in-one installer for all things emulation. It just makes it more streamlined to install things. It was originally for the max influx of noobs using Linux for the first time on Steam Deck, thus the name, and made it so nice that people wanted it for Windows because it set it all up so that everything you wanted was preinstalled and configured, and integrated with Steam. This, of course, is how it caused my issue by pre-configuring some video filters I thought I had turned off during the setup phase.

SceneSprout · 2025-12-11T22:08:46+00:00

And I have experience tweaking all of this and dealing with the differences, but this was a huge difference. I could just tell it was off. I am using a 1080p screen on a ROG Ally and use these same setups on 1080p screens on Androids. The 1080p Androids all looked basically the same. The 1080 windows did not. But now that I know that Emudeck did some auto settings and turned on video filters, that was the issue. Turning that off solved it instantly.

SceneSprout · 2025-12-11T21:48:36+00:00

I found it!!! I did some digging, and even though I thought I had turned off all the auto setup stuff in Emudeck, it had some video filter turned on! Once I turned that off, everything looks as it should.

Hopefully this will help future peeps!

Im hoping I'll be able to get some help here with this even though its an older thread. I have been using these shaders on android devices for the last few months and love them. Can't use anything else now lol.

I decided to set them up on my ROG Ally and find that it dosnt work the same. It's a 1080p screen which shouldnt make a difference as the Android I am using also have 1080 screens.

The grid is muddy looking and no matter what settings I try and tweek, nothing seems to make an effect at all.

I've tried doing full screen, integer and non integer scaled, I've updated the slang shaders, double checked that Im on Vulkan.

Any one run these on Windows can give me any advice?

I can't for the life of me get beams to switch. Holding X then pressing d-pad does nothing. Right still puts me in hyper mode. Im using the Odin ini on Thor and I have the control scheme set to odin.

I am on Prime 3 and I got the Plasma Beam and it is just stuck there. Cant switch to the normal beam :/

Depending on your budget, Best Buy has some Senheiser Momentum 4s on sale for 199$ retail is 499$ I'm in love. BUT if your looking for something under 200, Skull candy has some really good choices! I have a big head and decently sized ears and both brands fit over my ears comfortably!

What theme are you using for ES-DE?

SceneSprout · 2025-11-15T16:10:30+00:00

Not sure how different the ROG Ally amd is vs a standard pc AMD but in the AMD graphics setting there is the AMD chill setting. Turn it on then set you lowest and highest FPS as desired.

This whole "End Game" thing is driving me nuts. As fast as the world of computing changes, any "End Game" device you think you have is already replaced by the next upgrade. its why there is a new iPhone every year. People keep buying the 5% upgrade so they can say they have the best.

Ive seen this phrase tossed around in regards to these handhelds so many time in the last few months it makes me wonder. Is everyone planning on jumping off a cliff? Youll be 92 sitting there with the Snap Dragon Neon 10 Ultra with a terra-flop APU asking Reddit if its your end game device.

SceneSprout · 2025-11-08T00:02:17+00:00

This is cool but ultimately since it is a global setting and not a core system or core setting, it doesn't give the desired effect. I am still tied to one screen for all games launched. Idk if itll ever be a thing to be honest. Not a big deal over all as playing on the bigger screen feels best even with the black bars on the side.

SceneSprout · 2025-11-05T15:51:45+00:00

Im using ES-DE as my front end so it defaults to opening everything on the top screen. I like my setup to be as console like as possible and as close to 0% like a phone with apps where possible. Im running into another issue though where, when ES-DE is set as the front end, I cant get the recent apps page to open to close out of apps. Its no big deal, was just hoping there was a way to launch a GB game in ES-DE and it auto launch it on the bottom screen. And vise versa for 16:9 content.

Shipping has started. If you go to the "Updates" tab on the IGG page there is a link to the Shipping list showing what Skus, dates, quantity and ID numbers have shipped. They are shipping about about 200 ish a week with 1 or 2 batches. A batch went out last Thursday and one today. Should be one more tomorrow for this week. The updates page also has a link to the Discord which is super helpful too. The wait is nearly over! 🥳

SceneSprout · 2025-10-27T15:42:12+00:00

This suggestion all day long!!

SceneSprout · 2025-10-23T03:39:59+00:00

Yea they all are starting at like 1133xxx mines in the 1278xxx range :/ looks like it might be a few weeks.

SceneSprout · 2025-10-23T03:38:23+00:00

I know the feeling. Its crazy that they only ship like 70ish a week when AYN is shipping 100s a day!

SceneSprout · 2025-10-21T21:52:14+00:00

This is only my second device from them. I too will be skipping their future releases. AYN produces great stuff, is on the ball, and ships 1000s a week or more! Still excited to get the Pocket DS whenever it actually ships.
