Starting in 720p windowed mode.
Yes, this is the total of the video/graphics options.
Why the hell are the Achievements in French (German Steam, English in-game)???
The marketing hasn't been very good for XVI. Much worse than XV and XV was pretty sloppy too.Every time i hear something about FFXVI i am becoming less interested than before.
This is the first time i've felt about this franchise ever. Even for XIII and XV i was very excited beforehand.
You may have seen or heard the news about @dolphin / Valve / Nintendo from a few hours ago. If not, read e.g. https://www.pcgamer.com/nintendo-sends-valve-dmca-notice-to-block-steam-release-of-wii-emulator-dolphin/ from the amazing @wes.
Unfortunately pretty much everyone has been getting the legal details wrong, incl. Dolphin themselves on their blog (now fixed).
Quick thread with my personal summary of the situation.
Disclaimer: I'm not officially involved with Dolphin anymore. I was the treasurer for the foundation backing the project for a while (technically still am for a month), but I've stepped down from the project a month or so ago. So, still plenty of context, but not much at stake for me.
The error that many have done in their reporting is to say this was a "DMCA takedown notice" or "DMCA notice" or (ugh) "DMCA". This was none of these things.
The DMCA is a broad set of laws that includes, a process for copyright owners to ask publishers to take down data. This is defined in sect. 512(c) of the copyright act, and it comes with some requirements from the claimant side of things (here: Nintendo), and some liability on the publisher side of things (here: Valve). It also includes rights for the entity accused (here: the Stichting Dolphin Emulator) to counter claim, allowing the publisher to reinstate the content until the claimant sues.
In this case, none of this process was followed. To the best of my understanding, this is what happened:
- Valve legal contacted Nintendo of America to ask "hey, what do you think about Dolphin?"
- Nintendo replied to Valve "we think it's bad and also that it violates the DMCA anti-circumvention provisions" (note: nothing about violating copyright itself). Also "please take it down".
- Valve legal takes it down and forwards NoA's reply to the Dolphin Foundation contact address.
This is very much not a section 502(c) takedown! Just standard legal removals / C&D between two companies.
This has some interesting and sad consequences:
- Dolphin is not a party into any of this. Valve's ToS likely allows them to take down anything for any reason they want. There's no counter claim process or anything like this.
- Valve could have decided to ignore Nintendo with ~ no liability. They decided to just do whatever they were asked, and that's not surprising given they initiated contact in the first place.
- Dolphin probably has no recourse here to get any other outcome from Valve, but also no particular risk or liability.
Now onto Nintendo's legal claims: nobody can tell for sure whether Dolphin is in the right, or whether Nintendo is in the right. Like all legal matters, there is a lot of space for interpretation.
Dolphin does distribute the Wii AES-128 Common Key which is used to encrypt Wii game discs. This isn't required in theory, the tools that dump game discs could just dump decrypted images, in fact that might be easier than dumping encrypted images (the decryption is done transparently by the Wii OS).
Whether that's allowed by exception clauses for interoperability, whether that's allowed by some kind of fair use clause, whether Nintendo's broken DRM actually counts as an effective copyright protection measure, etc. -> only a lawsuit could decide that. Your guess is probably as good or as bad as anyone else's.

If you're interested Dragon Quest: Dai no daibouken manga/anime is very influenced by Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.Dang, I never realized Fly's adventures was Dragon Quest until now. I don't remember watching it, but I would see promotional videos of it.
if you want to use steam as a yuzu game's launcher you need to use this structure (command line method):
- tried to open yuzu as a steam game within BPM (doesn't work because yuzu is like a launcher and it opens in desktop mode)
thanks, will try itif you want to use steam as a yuzu game's launcher you need to use this structure (command line method):
this way steam input works, no idea if works with steam controller, I don't have it to try but it works for other controllers.
put -f -g "game ROM path" on launch parameters.
I got a cease and desist for doing so ! LOLAnd this is why pirating tears of the kingdom is completely justifiable
there's another method I usually use for other old PC games that don't support controllers, but maybe you don't want to deal with xDDD because it's tedious.thanks, will try it
Sadly, also didn't work, it launches the game just fine with the parameters, but the controller is still not found
Well, I will be a hardcore PC player and play the game with keyboard
this way steam launch xpadder and the videogame you want at once. I use it for games that only support kb+mouse (f.e. when Valorant was released) maybe could do the trick for you.start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\XPadder\xpadder.exe"
set HOME=%~dp0
"command line game shortcut"
console gaming is such a chore! always fiddling with settings and fixesthere's another method I usually use for other old PC games that don't support controllers, but maybe you don't want to deal with xDDD because it's tedious.
I use xpadder
(you can find "free" version on google XD)
With this program you can remap anything.
Then I use steam to launch a *.bat file:
with a code like this:

This seems to be a bit meh so far, can only download "compatible games"
Well since Valve and NoA are good friends and Dolphin on Steam is "illegal" that means Nintendo games are coming to Steammore info about the Dolphin thing:

My friend got like 4 cease and desists for downloading Nintendo games he already owned physically. He ended up framing one of them and hung it up on his wall lol. As far as we could tell, Nintendo just keeps sending cease and desists to people but doesn't actually push it further than that. But we're also not in the US so could be different there.I got a cease and desist for doing so ! LOL
Other than Meta sucking ass, Quest 2 is a nice HMD. Good for PCVR too, especially since it can be made to run in 120hz with a high bitrate.Got a Quest 2, can't believe I bought hardware because of one game lol.
Thankfully PossiblyPudding compiled a list for me
Yeah, I tried the robot dance demo and it was quite cute. It came bundled with RE4 and a couple of other games but I'm mainly interested in Alyx.Other than Meta sucking ass, Quest 2 is a nice HMD. Good for PCVR too, especially since it can be made to run in 120hz with a high bitrate.
no it's the google play games thing which is supposed to do the same thing sort of, MS "native" solution does it through amazon appstoreLove your wallpaper. What you're showing is the Windows 11 feature to load Android apps?
Just thought about this after playing like 3 hours of this game. I don't really care about Marvel movies, but you can tell this game was made with care, too bad it sold badly.
Well RetroArch is on Steam with no issues (granted with the cores each having to be individually approved but still plenty for Nintendo and other company systems already are), I guess they must have forgotten they actually include the official keys thing so long after having to mess with that part of the emulation. Hopefully it's a simple change to implement there and they can avoid issues now. Good thing it's in such a good state at this point (not that it's perfect, some big games don't work well still, like the Rogue Squadron titles and iirc I had similar if not as severe issues with the King Kong game too) so we can keep it forever.Real big brain moment for the Dolphin team. What were they thinking?!
Nice to see a lovely organised library.
You can use it with steam to launch those games this way:
if you add /R:? where ? is the game number listed on dxwnd you can launch the game through steam and play windowed.
I think the initial impressions of combat in Ghostwire probably account for a lot of that, it's generally well reviewed, but combat is basic and takes a while to unlock some real options. The aesthetics of the attack/parries/etc. kept me invested a lot though.Also, isn't Ghostwire extremely meh?
haha it took me ages I'm adding games time to time. I have indexed 184 PS2 games, 106 PSX, 76 SNES games, 78 PS3 or 44 PSP. Try they work well, add cover, header, logo, background, etc... It's like a game. <3Nice to see a lovely organised library.
It's there, there's a link in the Era thread. Looks like enough of a smoking gun for Nintendo to have good chances in court, I would say. From what I understand in the Era thread, it's also not really Nintendo that was sending a DMCA here, more Valve being overly cautious, similarly how retroArch on Steam is a special build that is not enabled to pull arbitrary cores.If Dolphin included them, it'd get a DCMA strike years ago. It's hosted on Github, from which Nintendo already removed dozens of projects using the same reasoning.
This makes a lot of sense. I know that Valve currently has a number of lawsuits that are filed against them and I'm guessing that they would want to avoid another one if possible.It's there, there's a link in the Era thread.

NoA is basically a branch office of Nintendo Co Ltd in Japan. NoA has no autonomy, and what little they did have was clawed back during the Iwata years.By the way for those that know more about Nintendo, I'm guessing that there is a difference in terms of NoA coming after you and having Nintendo of Japan coming after you (or does every little thing get talked about at the main headquarters type of thing?)
I actually had this scenario working (Yuzu with the Steam controller) just by launching it from Steam. But this was over a year ago, both of those software packages changed a lot since then, and I haven't tried it more recently, so this is probably not very helpful.I have unsuccessfully tried to get my steam controller to work with Yuzu, it just doesn't find the controller, always only the keyboard in the input devices found
- tried to configure desktop steam controller setup
- tried to open yuzu as a steam game
- tried to open yuzu as a steam game within BPM (doesn't work because yuzu is like a launcher and it opens in desktop mode)
- tried to use Steam Rom Manager to open the exact game and circumventing yuzu opening as a desktop launcher
I’m going to place an order for this oneI have a Logitech G Pro keyboard atm, but I'm in the market for a new one. It's served me well enough for some years, but the revision is definitely a step down compared to their older models of the same board.
Any recommendations? Preferabbly on the small side, 10-keyless is usually the compromise i go for. Budget is about $150USD. Just no Razers, I hate their super annoying software and have had nothing but quality issues with every single Razer product i ever purchased.
Ah, i ended up sticking with logitech and getting this cutie.I’m going to place an order for this one
Ahh that one’s very cool indeed.Ah, i ended up sticking with logitech and getting this cutie.
Cute Keyboard here
Yeah, same with ryujinx :/I actually had this scenario working (Yuzu with the Steam controller) just by launching it from Steam. But this was over a year ago, both of those software packages changed a lot since then, and I haven't tried it more recently, so this is probably not very helpful.
Fake edit: actually, I might have been playing in Ryujinx back then. Did you try that?
Konami and "invest" are not two words that go together.I wonder if Konami is willing to invest money into unfucking PES/eFootball
Haha, that's true. Most of their projects are low risk, low budget compilations. SH2 remake is gonna suck shit but they have bloober to take the fall, I can already picture the apology tweet.Konami and "invest" are not two words that go together.
They're only interested in spinning a quick buck.
They've been like this since around 2008/2009. Kojima was always an outlier in that company, and the toxic management even got to him in the end.Haha, that's true. Most of their projects are low risk, low budget compilations. SH2 remake is gonna suck shit but they have bloober to take the fall, I can already picture the apology tweet.
