its a hack or uplay has some official api? i hope ubisoft/epic dont break thirdy party apps on purpose.
" lots of different emulators and more."
i will pass for emulators, i already use retro arch for it, having 2 solutions would only make things confusing.

do lutris work with controller?

RetroArch 1.10.0 out with Vulkan fixes, Wayland improvements, GameMode support

retro arch updated while i was gaming on it (i think i have an snap version?) some features broke and i end up not being able to play at some point...

i hat to quit the game without saving then when i opened retro arch again, i figure out it got an new bug:
if i toggle fullscreen/window mode the gamepad stop working and i have to disconnect/reconnect it to work again...

Quoting: JpxsonI think most developers will enable it, it's just a question if they do it now or wait until it starts costing them money not too.
yeah but its a chicken and egg problem...
or people might just install windows...

Quoting: PhlebiacManufacturing compatible hardware seems like opening the door to lawsuits; Nintendo in particular likes to lawyer up.
While I agree, Nintendo isn't making NES, SNES, N64 or Gamecube consoles anymore. And since this is hardware that depends on physical media (cartridges/discs etc) Nintendo has no legal standing to prevent them unless RetroArch screw up and copy BIOS code etc which I don't see them doing.
they made nes mini and snes mini recently, and put an n64 emulator on switch...
Do they take their respective cartridges?
no, but it affect their business model, not sure on how an lawyer would interpret that
A lawyer would interpret it how he was paid to. :grin:
The question is more what interpretation a judge could be persuaded to buy.
an lawyer need arguments to convince the judge, but in any case i used the wrong word, i mean judge.

i was expecting more triple A games, i wonder if they will update this list daily, weekly or what...

well, those are the ones i care about:

Castle Crashers (finished this eons ago, no surprise here)
Celeste (native, no surprise)
Cuphead (a bit ironic)
" DARK SOULS " 2 and 3 but not the first one? (speaking of it, i wonder why its taking so long for an DS4... maybe their new ip wich is too darksouls like is taking their time.
"Death Stranding" Sony wont make an new PSP/PSV, so the next best thing for sony fans is to get an deck.
its a bit surprising that we can run an game from the last gen home consoles on a portable machine already.
" Final Fantasy" the first one of all things??
"HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED™" i dont hear much about this one on the discussions about racing games, but the company behind it made a lot of games.
"Hollow Knight" native, no surprise.
"Mad Max" ironic, this game used to have an native version
Manifold Garden
"Portal 2" valve game, obligatory
"Psychonauts 2" its owned by MSFT nowadays, so its a bit ironic.
SCARLET NEXUS
Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice
Tetris® Effect: Connected (im tired of tetris but maybe this spin can be fun again)
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Total War: WARHAMMER II (tons of warhammer games are native, no surprise)
Tunche (wait a hat in time kid is in this one too? why i never heard of it?)
