wii-u-gc-adapter VS sdl12-compat

this has worked for me before: https://github.com/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter

(assuming you are talking about rivals of aether), i have played for some time using the https://github.com/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter driver which is the only one that seemed to work with the mayflash adapter on wii-u mode. Its not a very good experience compared to windows since the game does not recognize the game as a gamecube controller but it sees it as an xbox pad, so the stick sensitivity feels off

Ok, thx it works now. I just had to switch to wii u mode on the adapter. it was super dumb, and it worked out of the box on linux : for linux users : just git clone https://github.com/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter and it will work. You can also overclock the adapter under linux by git cloning https://github.com/HannesMann/gcadapter-oc-kmod and do what the readme says

cd git clone https://github.com/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter cd wii-u-gc-adapter make

And then you need to clone the repo. I suggest cloning it in your home directory.

I'm just glad so many of the SDL 1.2.x-era games dynamically linked SDL so I can use sdl12-compat to stick them on top of SDL 2.x's non-modesetting fullscreening and PulseAudio support.

Thankfully, most people don't statically link SDL 1.2, so it's possible to use sdl12compat to rebase them on top of SDL 2.x's non-modesetting fullscreening support, among other things.

There have been some efforts to keep them working: http://www.improbability.net/loki/ https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/

I've been determined to get the only system not on the device working in some way. The biggest issue to the Apple II systems not being present is that all the emulators are not written in SDL2 and the only Apple II emulator written in SDL2 (shamusworld) is far from perfect. So I tried my hand at something: What if I could wrap SDL1.2 to SDL2 against linapple? My brother showed me on github sdl12-compat https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat. Amazingly enough, we have results. Now it's not going to be as functional this way like having RetroArch to configure things, but I have over twenty Apple II games pre-configured with controls thus far.

You need this compatibility library and you can drop it into the "lib" folder in the game files.

Here's the only useful link from the article: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/releases/tag/release-1.2.52

It looks like the multiple monitor issue was known and theoretically fixed? https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/issues/38

Really old Linux games based on SDL1 can also work on Wayland by using the SDL1 on SDL2 wrapper in combination with a recent SDL2 build (I've been successful with Psychonauts this way, and it even solved some weird windowing problems with the game)
