While DuckStation was my first experience with PS1 emulation, and was what got me fully into emulation in general back in 2020, I've been using the Beetle PSX core in RetroArch for the past couple years. The only complaint I have with it, as well as the Beetle Saturn core, is that it's demanding on the CPU. For my Steam Deck, I use the SwanStation core, and I hope that is able to keep going despite this license change.

Just like with RE1, this doesn't work for me on Heroic with Wine. I can get to the menu (with no sound effects), but as soon as I start the story and the narration kicks in...it gives me an error message and basically crashes.

I expect RE3 to be the same when it releases. Guess I'm sticking to emulating the PS1 or other console releases; I'm not bending over backwards to figure out why these GOG releases don't work.

I hope this one actually works in Heroic. I could not get RE1 from GOG to launch in Heroic at all; always the same error, "failed to initialize graphics hardware".

RE2 is my favorite of the classic Resident Evils.

Oh, a game set in the small Brazilian state of Acre. Now this is interesting.

I don't know what PCSX2 has been like in the past, but since I've gotten into emulation the past few years, I've found it quite good. Thank you to all the people who work on it.

Cool. I intend to play through the GOG releases of the Resident Evil games as soon as all three are available.

Good news for me. With the exception of the GameCube remake of RE1, I am not a fan of the Resident Evil remakes. The classic RE games with tanks controls will always be my favorites; especially RE2.

I've wanted to give the PC releases of these games a try, but I do not know an easy method of installing the Sourcenext releases on Linux. Something like these are right up my alley.

I like Flatpak because it allows me to have access to the latest versions of software without adding PPAs/third-party repositories, or potentially breaking my system.

If I want the latest versions of emulators like Dolphin, PCSX2, or RetroArch, it's as easy as installing the Flatpak. Likewise with Firefox, or the various KDE software.

Funny coincidence, considering I just recently have been giving the original DOOM and DOOM 3 a try.

I'll give them credit for one thing; it actually has dual trackpads.
