 Church of EMacs | Made a huge cock up | 14:20:51 |
| Church of EMacs | * But Like I said wine 7 they rewrote winebus | 14:21:10 |
 rcman | So, it's a Wine problem. I understand. | 14:21:22 |
| rcman | * But yeah, Oversteer looks like it could be useful. | 14:21:59 |
| Church of EMacs | Yh forced feedback is fucked for 99% of wheels. You can get it to "function" with a github project but they are extremely scuffed like worse than alpha experience. | 14:22:36 |
| rcman | Is there a way to have an older version of Wine installed through Lutris or something similar? | 14:24:23 |
| rcman | I've tried that in the past and it worked for a while, but if I remember well, it stopped working at one point, so I was forced to move on. | 14:25:12 |
| rcman | It might have something to do with incompatible dependencies. | 14:26:03 |
 blaiz0r | Yeah I would recommend using Bottles to handle desktop versions of Wine | 14:26:53 |
| rcman | Literally the only reason I have Bottles installed is the ability to do that. 😄 | 14:27:48 |
| rcman | I use custom Bash and Python scripts to actually launch the games. | 14:28:12 |
| rcman | For keeping really old versions working though... maybe a separate container with systemd-nspawn? I don't know. | 14:29:35 |

Is there a way to have an older version of Wine installed through Lutris or something similar? Download and extract. You want it locally installed. Then in your start script or luacher specify that wine binary as variable then your launch arg would be WINELOCALVARIABLENAME game.exe | 14:41:25 |

| Church of EMacs | I also play games compressed | 14:42:28 |

I also play games compressed Like dwarfs or squashfs? | 14:59:06 |

| rcman | I have no problem with using ones based on Wine 8 and 9 installed through Lutris or Bottle. | 15:02:31 |
| rcman | I just remember keeping one that had fshack, and it stopped working for some reason. | 15:03:25 |
| rcman | * I just remember keeping one or two that had fshack, and they stopped working for some reason. | 15:05:20 |
| rcman | Church of EMacs: This is might be a shot in the dark, but have you tried a DInput wrapper like Xidi? | 16:58:20 |
| rcman | I recently discovered it and it helped me fix the issue of missing vibration and non-working triggers in one of the Ys games, which is only present on newer versions of Wine. (In older versions, it would work perfectly out of the box.) | 17:00:41 |
| rcman | Oh, and even though the description of Xidi says it's an XInput to DInput wrapper, in the prefix I'm currently using, Wine recognises my DS4 as a DInput device and yet the wrapper still does its job. | 17:02:39 |
| Church of EMacs | Nah ff still doesnt work. But thanks for sharing was worth a shot. | 22:41:29 |
| Church of EMacs | My implementation of steam input behaves similarly so its just a winebus problem unfortunately. | 22:42:29 |

| rcman | I've just stumbled on this in case you still feel like experimenting or haven't tried this one: https://gitlab.com/as400l/wine-rbr Precompiled Wine that includes an unmerged patch which allegedly fixes FFB. | 10:22:56 |
| rcman | I'll plan on checking now and again if there are any new positive reports about this before buying a new wheel. | 10:25:37 |
| rcman | (I actually have a Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel somewhere, but its pedals are taken apart because the potentiometer in them are broken, so I can't really test the wheel thoroughly.) | 10:29:47 |

| Church of EMacs | Repo is privated. What PR or patch did it apply I will just compile myself I need to rebase my wine ge again anyway | 13:09:05 |
