PS3 is a pirate's dream!
SolarPunker 22 hours ago • 100%
I would like to add: people incredibly underestimate the convenience of having data on Blu-ray rather than on HDD/SSD: Blu-rays last longer and, if purchased cheaply (as in the case of the cheap PS3 game market), have a comparable or superior cost-benefit ratio.
In this case we can say that the console, given its low price on the second-hand market (and if with a working blu-ray player), is incredibly convenient even without the pirate aspect.

Which distro?
SolarPunker 5 days ago • 100%
Nobara is very good for middle user that just want a ready-to-game distro; Bazzite is best for noobs, thanks to immutability; for an experienced user there are no reasons to not use Arch.

Which distro?
SolarPunker 5 days ago • 100%
Arch. Bazzite/Nobara are for noobs (in a positive way, don't get me wrong). Gaming is in spot where you want stability but also a rolling release, since we have daily improvements on essential packages; as an experienced user you can use Arch for that; consider also even Valve is on it with the Steam Deck (Arch-based).

If you want to learn more in depth about how Proton works I suggest you to ask here on [GloriousEggroll's Discord](https://discord.gg/6y3BdzC.
For emulation, X360 and PS3 needs intense resources and their emulators may be in an early development state; look back to the previous generations, maybe with a cool megabezel shader on RA.

Proton is Wine with prefixes, basically, you can use it without Steam on Lutris for example (Wine-GE suggested); also, emulation for old games isn't so demanding, try different cores for RetroArch.

Ok this is the closest thing i have found but i haven't tried setting it up yet: https://forums.libretro.com/t/official-release-thread-for-windowcast-core/40464
From an user "the only way to run non-retroarch programs within retroarch is via the Windowcast-Core, but all that really does is allow you to use shaders and overlays. it also adds some latency, so I wouldn't really recommend it anyway."

Gamepad not recognized when turned on after starting games
SolarPunker 1 month ago • 100%
Yes, bluetooth. The controller is seen again by the OS and then by Steam but not by games already started.
EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) user here. Is this just me? Everything works perfectly, but if the controller turns off and on again while a game is running, it's no longer recognized, and this forces me to restart the game. I don't know how useful it is but I tried to join the **input** group, nothing changed.

Nice, but the platform we need more is Peertube
The beautiful games I own are Snake Pass and Sonic Racing Transformed, both of which have sound issues (muffled audio) when played through a cheap soundbar via bluetooth, **audio for all other games with this soundbar works perfectly**. I'm on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) using repository Steam, KDE Plasma and Pipewire. I've tried all the different proton versions (experimental, 9, 8, 7, 3, etc) without success. Maybe I could solve it by removing pipewire but I don't think it's worth worsening the entire OS, since it's only about these two titles. Q: - The problem seems to not appear on other distros, like Debian (maybe due to different packages / pulseaudio?). - Coincidentally it only happens with these two SumoDigital games, could proton be missing some component commonly used in these games? - Since I can't find any relevant solutions online, I assume that the problem only exists with this type of Bluetooth audio device. [edit] AtM I "solved" it by connecting the speaker via cable.

Thanks for reply. Yeah would be nice to have a more complete Lutris in the future but it looks like it's purpose is more "proprietary oriented", supporting stores and Discord (for example). I'd like the idea of a RetroArch with non-emulated games supported, maybe with a 'compatibility core'.
It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast. Wouldn’t be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

A thousand thanks! I don't know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.
The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it? Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.
