boxtron VS sc-controller

It also allows you to install Boxtron, Luxtorpeda, and Roberta for some old school games, and then choose them in the launch options for Steam just as if they were Proton versions.

Boxtron is tool for automatically converting DOS games on Steam from using "old Windows version of DOSBox via Proton/Wine" to native Linux DOSBox - I specifically implemented there conversion of case sensitivity in .cue but also automatic rewriting of paths (because some game developers publish games on Steam without testing them at all). Right now it does not work unfortunately :( - when it'll be fixed I will post the update on this sub and /r/linux_gaming (and others as well probably).

Yeah, that's the annoyance of using flatpak unfortunately :( The version of Boxtron from flatpak store is designed to work with Steam installed via flatpak - which is not the case on SteamOS. I created a bug report for myself to fix it: https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/issues/53 - you can follow the progress there.

Boxtron

I dont use this but have you tried taking a look at this wiki article: https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/wiki/Configuration

For DOS games on Steam, there's also a Proton alternative called Boxtron that is basically DOSBox packaged to work as a Steam Play compatibility tool.

https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller has been my best friend in getting controllers working properly

I haven't figure out how to intall sc-controller on latest fedora. I reported a bug on the github but I wanted to ask in this subreddit too, just in case anyone here has a solution.

third - sc controller

you appear to be missing some dependencies. Make sure that you have all of the build dependencies installed to build this program. They are listed here.

So with drivers it's easy to give gryo data to Linux, and Linux to expose it to games, but games don't always know what to do with it. The current workaround has always been a tool like Steam Input, or the open source sc-controller, that takes the gyro data, combines it with the old school gamepad data, and emulates an Xbox 360 controller with it.

The only thing I can think of, left to try is: https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

But in the end I ended up buying PS4 pad. * A big selling point for me was that it has gyro. You can set it up as mouse input (in Steam controller settings for the game or something like sc-controller. I'm sure there is something similar for Windows too) and that way use for precise movements * The mouse pad in the middle is nice too * I'm not sure if these measurements are still true after 4 years but it seems it has the lowest input lag when used via BT

I don't know about the state of Windows support, but for Linux users the fork at https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller is preferable. Ported to Python 3 (upstream is still sitting on EOL'd Python 2 due to kozec preferring a C port) as well as some bugfixes. I use it for any non-Steam games (Epic, Uplay, Origin, GOG).

SC-Controller should fit your use-case.
