I am playing Iter Vehemens ad Necem, in short IVAN, on Winlator.

Is a ~25 years old rogue-like game that uses MIDI as background music. Sound efffects are instead wave files. MIDI files are just a series of notes a sound card plays back with its internal musical instruments, much like a digital music sheet. Modern audio cards no longer have true support for this now ancient audio format (still used to this day actually, but only on specific music production devices), and desktop systems can run software based MIDI emulators to still hear this sounds (modern Windows has one preinstalled that is invoked automatically when MIDI is played)

Sound effects work just fine, but there is no background music when running this game as it detects no MIDI devices. I need a way to get a software MIDI emulator running under Winlator, maybe even the default modern Windows one.

Modern Windows update also include BIOS updates by your manufacturer.

It's per game.

Right click a game (or press Start in BigPicture/GamingMode), select Properties. Go to the Privacy tab, and there you can hide the game from everywhere but yourself. The game will only be visible in your own library when logged in, and people won't see you playing that game when you run it (you appear Online but not playing anything, your nickname in friends list remains blue). You also make the game invisible in your profile, both on the main page with the play time and on the full games list.

You can also do it before purchase, now every time you put a game in the cart you are asked if you wanna make it remain public or hide it.

If we talking about modern Android, good to know. I used to run a launcher on a modded Samsung Galaxy Young (CyanogenMod11) that had a fixed notification option to prevent Android from killing it (the device had 512MB of RAM).

You used to be able to just create a fixed notification and Android would never kill the app. This is not the case anymore?

Think AI is pointless when it doesn't apply to you?

Resolved

The following packages are needed from winetricks: directmusic, dsdmo

 

I've tried base Wine and Wine-GE under Lutris.

Base Wine has the issue I mentioned in the title, where the game would play no sound apart from the menu music and the in-game commentary (meaning the menu movements don't do any sound, and during a match you don't hear the ball kicks and the referee whistle).

Lutris fully breaks audio with it's default settings. You need to disable fsync and esync to make the audio return (yet, it acts like base wine still)

DXVK has no effect as the game uses DirectX 8, meaning it's running under WineD3D.

A Reddit post mentions extracting the following DLLs from a DirectX8.1 installer and applying a override to use them, but doing so on my end just mutes the game: "dmime.dll dmsynth.dll dmloader.dll dmusic.dll dsound.dll dsdmo.dll"

Using DgVoodoo has no effects on this issue.

Clash of Clans is kinda safe in this, nobody cares anymore if they get attacked as there are now so many ways to farm resources that got added after the game started dwelling in the player count.

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

Not much can be done if what most people can afford is a 15+ years old used car.

Also what I've seen from dedicated bus lanes in my city is them just being used by cars and bikes as overtake lane or as a sidewalk extention from pedestrians. Also trains need to be much more than once an hour or worse.

 

Hello. For a couple of days my browser has been failing automated captchas when it is hosted by Cloudfare. Any other captcha service works well and lets me go trough.

This is happening on Firefox for Debian Linux 12 (apt). Doesn't happen on Firefox flatpak and Chromium apt.

What can I do to check further or to give more info?

My Nintendo Switch joycons cannot reconnect on their own to my PC.

If I pair them again, they will connect and work extremely well. If I turn them off or restart my computer, I cannot connect them again.

The joycons will look for it but time out but my PC will see the joycons and connect, immediately disconnect then connect to the again. This happens three time before the joycons time out and turn off.

 

Backyard Baseball 2001 is immediately crashing in Wine on a black screen: https://paste.debian.net/1294999

This is on a dedicated 32-bit prefix with DirectPlay only installed via winetricks. The prefix is set to claim to be Windows 98. The exact same disc is confirmed to work if mounted in 86box (running Windows 2000)

Just before the crash, a printer error is thrown. The printer works fine in Linux, but such an error shouldn't crash the game like this. And also, printing is not an integral part of the game (you can print an image of your team, but its optional.)

The game appears as Platinum rated on Wine AppDB: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9088

I will add here. Apparently, I have fixed it by finding a workaround. Shutting down cups with sudo service stop cups has made the game run.

 

Wrestling MPire Remix (2008, DirectX 7) has terrible font rendering on Wine, making small text unreadable. Tried WineD3D, dxWrapper (with dx7 to dx9 conversion) then DXVK, DxWnd (suggested by the developer for Windows 10), dgvoodoo. Also tried enabling font antialiasing via winetricks.

How its supposed to look like (image from internet, of the character editor while editing a referee):
