Quoting: qchtoIn case anyone is having problems with the Steam Controller, is because the Steam Overlay doesn't work in this game (regardless of version apparently [External Link].. A quick solution would be to add a the controller remap template to an activator button in the Desktop config (I have this done with the RB as activator, being the mapped RB/LB assigned to the grips).

You may also use SC Controller

Quoting: liamdaweFor once, I am inviting discussion on it due to my own confusion on the legalities of roms.

Well, roms also serves a great purpose : cultural materials conservation.
Access to history matters. Even when it comes to culture.

Roms are a great tool for this two objectives.

A great exemple is archive.org for instance; they got huge archives of arcade cabinet roms of the previous century.

Want to play Morrowind natively on Linux using OpenMW? Well it's on sale on GOG
13 Jun 2016 at 8:32 pm UTC

Well, correct me if I'm wrong but, last time I checked, OpenMW's savegame support wasn't 100% set in stone.

So, it's probably best to wait a little until the engine is ready for everyday use.
