  • xpad

    Linux Kernel Driver for the Xbox/ Xbox 360/ Xbox One Controllers

  • How can I connect a wireless XBOX 360 controller to Arch Linux using this receiver? I tried the built-in Xpad driver, this updated Xpad driver, and Xboxdrv, but none work. Connecting the receiver via a USB port shows it as "Microsoft Corp.", and nothing else (lsusb).

  • WidescreenFixesPack

    Plugins to make or improve widescreen resolutions support in games, add more features and fix bugs.

  • I'm playing the 2005 version, the game is preinstalled, meaning i just have to run the .exe through Wine. The game generally works but the widescreen fix doesn't, here's the one I'm using: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/releases/tag/nfsmw

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • er-patcher

    Elden Ring enhancement patches (ultrawide support, custom frame rate limits and more) seamlessly integrated with steam.

  • Does anyone know how to get 144fps working in Elden Ring? Both https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/t74ugn/increase_elden_ring_fps_cap_to_144_through_hex/ and https://github.com/gurrgur/er-patcher do not work anymore. :( Having one of my monitors capped to 60 fps (when it's 144 naively) when the second is 144hz creates a bunch of tearing + suttering problems.
