  • Maybe Emulation is something you would look into? I actually prefer emulating the games myself, over playing the official Steam version (not at least because of the Shaders). Also there are lot of Mods (also known as Romhacks) for these games.

    I imagine they must have given these are playable on PC, and doing them with a mouse would be just short of impossible.

    The Steam Input system allows you to customize controls with lot of features available. So if they butcher this up, you have at least tools built into the Steam Deck to customize it. But it requires some time and effort, and that’s not always someone wants to put into to play a classic game.









  • Hmm sounds reasonable. After my question I was reading the original news from Archlinux and the following statement

    In order to not break user setups, we kept these repositories around in an unused and empty state.

    suggest that the empty and unused repositories have no effect. I don’t know why they kept this, because removing them would break back then. Removing them now breaks it today, so not sure why they delayed that, as nothing is won. I will uncomment out (Edit: I meant I will comment out) those lines and see what happens. :D In worst case the system cannot update and I can reverse the change. But there is no reason why the system should not able to update, if the repositories are empty.

    Another Edit: Me dummy don’t have any [community] repository. Not sure if I removed it before (very possible) or if it is removed by my distribution (please don’t hurt me, I’m just using EndeavourOS).
