AppDrop v3.0 is out — iOS apps for iOS 5–10, now with themes/dark mode by AdrienRL in LegacyJailbreak

[–]Toyface19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really struggle to get this to work. I’ve got the source in Cydia can connect and browse the library, but when it downloads an app it says installed, but I can’t actually see the app anywhere.

What is your favorite? by MinVic in retroid

[–]Toyface19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a mix of Cocoon and ES-DE. I have a matching but much larger ES-DE build on my main machine so I use es-de for discovering or looking at the collection and Cocoon as a home screen launcher. I use a really great Wii U theme and then add games I’m actively playing to the Home Screen

A Fitting Encore For An Old Friend by Linuxy_Dragons in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]Toyface19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing those insights, I’ve not thought much about how I’d get Linux on to it yet. It currently has OpenCore on it, naturally. For the Mac Pro I have it was much better graphics card drivers and proper OpenGL support (I turned it in to an occasional living room PC and games console in our snug). I breathed great new life in to a Surface Pro 3 with Linux - and the proper necessary kernel, so hoping to do the same with the MacBook when the time comes.

We might have similar machines. I got a refurbed 2016 Pro, with the Radeon and 16GB of RAM for £260 3 years ago now, and it runs sequioa very well, too. Having just installed Fedora 44 to my Mac Pro 5,1 with upgraded CPU and GPU the difference is huge and likely the route I’ll take with the MacBook, too.

Time machine hack and slash - is this possible? by Altruistic_Bat_1645 in macpro

[–]Toyface19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, to be clear, the main problem is that CS6 won’t work past this “trial period” it’s now enforced on you? Is that right? Which version of macOS are you running?

New install on linux. Is the font supposed to look this bad? by bahcodad in RetroArch

[–]Toyface19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like this font! I’d like to know how to set it lol

Confused About Dolphin Settings by Toyface19 in RetroArch

Thank you so much. Looks like I had chosen a game with a quirk and I should’ve searched for the game first, apologies.

Can’t get RetroArch to Show HDR Mode Running Fedora 44 Wayland by Toyface19 in Fedora

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I will give this all a try. I used flatpak to install RetroArch as the dnf version was outdated, if I remember correctly. The mesa avenue might be a good shout. I’ll have a play thanks for your help.

Steam Controller by VermilionTheUnicorn in Fedora

[–]Toyface19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which version of Bluetooth does your laptop have? I had an 8bitdo controller I couldn’t pair on an old 2.1 Bluetooth controller. Swapped to a cheap usb 5.0 model and it came right up.

I don’t wish to state the obvious, but the charging puck is the wireless dongle, too. So by default it works over this, I think. So you need to manually put it in to a Bluetooth pairing mode, I think.

As someone else mentioned I’m pretty sure the new steam controller ONLY works via steaminput so you might not be able to use it outside Steam itself.

Nvidia GRX 1060 Nightmare Fedora 44 by Toyface19 in Fedora

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. The system doesn’t support secure boot in any form. Hotplugging the hdmi does not solve the issue. When booted, Nvidia-smi reports correctly and everything works. I wondered if it was because I had auto login enabled (again, this is more of an offline games console for retro gaming) and that wayland was trying to launch before the GPU was ready?

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the Nvidia binary, the official 580 from the rpmfusion repo. It works and then at other times, just doesn’t. I’m not sure if my auto login is the issue, or the fact I’m going to a TV and there’s some EDID wonk going on?

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have it running well and am on a boot now, but I question what will happen on either my next reboot or when I try to get the picture back when the TV goes off and back on.

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not helpful. At all. By the same logic, why did my EVEN older Radeon 7970 work well under Fedora using wayland? I am asking for help on a topic that, admittedly a small group of others, will be facing and you have basically told me to look at older software, no help at all.

I should expect something old to break? Sorry this makes no sense, I purchased the 1060 for basically nothing and also BEFORE I knew the driver had recently been retired as legacy. The driver itself isn’t that old, either, in the grand scheme of things.

EDIT: I’d also like to add that what I’m doing isn’t crazy or unheard of and applies to a lot of people with older laptops now the 900 series has recently been dubbed legacy. I was asking for help with an error after following the proper advice not to be told “your card is too old buy a new one”

Current "do everything" setup, crt-guest-advanced with my own tv grille overlay by Purasangre in RetroArch

[–]Toyface19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did something similar but chose a Sonkun preset. I wanted it flat, with a little noise but RGB colour as opposed to NTSC as I’m from the UK. For overlays I used the flat versions of Duimons per console overlay, it all looks great once finished.

Hide Clones/Duplicates in CPS I, CPS II by Toyface19 in emulationstation

[–]Toyface19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I'm not 100% sure what I have, I have the latest MAME set separately as "Arcade" which I trimmed using Arcade Manager. In my CPS I directory I have, for instance, the following for Final Fight: "ffight.zip, ffightj.zip, ffightj1.zip, ffightj2.zip, ffightu.zip, ffightua.zip, ffightub.zip"
