I looked into wine64, as I didn't realize there was such a distinction; I've just never encountered a problem like this one before. Looking into wine64, I found there is actually something called WoW64 for 'architecture' which allows for hybrid 32/64 usage. So, I'm gonna experiment with that a bit, ...

I've been attempting to get Cosmoteer running under linux(found here: cosmoteer.net)which is meant for a 64 bit Windows system. However the game needs dotnet472 installed onto the wine prefix. I've tried using an installer and winetricks(even with arguments to force installation), I can't seem to ge...

I know about NESmaker and I've seen where people are getting it running under wine. I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet and how difficult it might actually be to do so. I also wondering if there are any comparable software packages that do the same thing under linux. Actually, any links to ...

So, I've recently started using qjoypad to map buttons for games. For the most part it works great, save those games which are developed with support for xbox controllers. Once I've mapped buttons and attempt to play those games with a controller it seems there is some confusion from the game. I fin...

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into gi notify. I should say ideally I would like to have a maximum number of bubbles set, probably around 8. Bubbles would only last 2 mins or when there are more than 8 the oldest bubble pops; where the oldest bubble is always forced down. I'm not really sure...

itch.io is another site I come across(it actually might be something I spotted in here) that has a linux filter on games... they are indie games mostly.

So, I've written a short script/plugin for Hexchat that plugs into twitch IRC chat and uses notification bubbles to display chat messages while fullscreen gaming. It isn't perfect, Twitch handles follows outside of the chat protocol which means I have to interface their API. __module_name__ = "...

Yeh, there is a push for such a thing as many gamers are switching to linux(slight performance boost)... but... even with such a push the industry politics still has microsoft influency gaming quite a bit... so while the demand might be there... there might be other things that just keep it from hap...

So, with twitch many people use Streamlabs, but this is a problem for those of us that don't use windows. I ran searches looking for alternatives, rather than running Streamlabs under wine(which I'd prefer not to do). Alas, I didn't really find much, and I also couldn't find much when it came to mon...

I've found a few emulators that offer netplay options, I was just wondering if anyone could point in the direction of emulators that offer netplay? I've found a few, but they will seem to take some tinkering Also, does anyone know if there is/are any working versions/frontends for MAME that might su...

With my brother's help I managed to hammer the following python script which can be loaded into hexchat(feel free to use this for your own purposes, I'm surprised no one wrote this already for twitch): __module_name__ = "Twitch_Notifications" __module_version__ = "1.0" __module_a...

the first part... I ended up patching together a script for this, and used the keyboard settings to make a hotkey, here is that script: #! /bin/sh # With icon indicating the state of the mic icon="audio-input-microphone-symbolic" amixer -c 2 sset Mic toggle && amixer get -c 2 Mic |...

So, I've been searching on Github and haven't had any luck finding a script for my specific needs(Actually, I haven't had luck getting any of the Hexchat scripts to load). I'm looking to enhance my streaming channel on twitch; I've already managed to get Hexchat to connect to the twitch IRC chat. Th...

I guess I should mention that I'm running xfce as a window manager. But I'm also wondering if it would possible to write a script that would grab the text as it comes through and create a transient window displaying that text for an amount of time... like say 60 seconds. any thoughts on this? even a...

I've gotten to a point where I want to take game streaming on twitch a bit more serious. First, I found this: http://nikhilwanpal.in/blog/mute-mic-with-keyboard-shortcut-on-ubuntu-or-linux-mint/ And, it seems straightforward enough, but I was wondering about how to map the keyboard(laptop)so I could...

I feel the need to and another amendment to this thread. I'll explain, I had my hd go out and was reinstalling everything from the ground up. Going back through I had a problem with Diablo 1 HD MOD the sound wasn't working properly, after going through and doing everything the same way I did before....

I found a solution.

So, I've successfully installed Diablo on POL I have it running under wine 3.0 with a patched ddraw.dll. The menu screens are a bit glitchy but navigable. I would like to run the Diablo 1 HD MOD found at this address: http://diablo1.ovh.org/hd/?download As far as I can tell I've extracted all of the...

I wanted make a post about this issue I had with the Menu Editor on Mint 18.1 xfce. First, let me explain what I was doing and how the problem arose. I was adding a menu item manually for minecraft. When, I added the item with the menu editor I made a typo in the command field, so it wouldn't launch...
