Does all the configs for these stay on my system, even if I remove them?

@ThomasWilbur Sorry, I was typing.

BorWal

But I use some of these on a regular basis! Audacity, Cairo-Dock, LibreOffice... I'm currently running Unity, which is what I'm about to remove!

Well, I guess once I do this, I'll have to try to get them back. Okay, here goes...

@ThomasWilbur Sorry, but Minecraft is a little too off-topic, here. Have you tried Arqade?

BorWal

Oh, boy. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Well, all right... Just a minute...

Q: Dependency problems when updating gcc-4.9-base (and similar) packages

@StrixVaria I guess my diagnosis scheduled event was a bad idea.

Q: What are the button mappings for the GameCube controller when playing VC games on a Wii?

I have been playing Virtual Console games on my Wii, and I noticed that some games use different controls than the GameCube controller, which I use primarily for SNES and N64 games. However, I can't find the SELECT button... So, are all the buttons from these old controllers mapped, or are some ...

Then again, you might want to check your graphic drivers, just in case. Take a look at this: forums.dolphin-emu.org/…

Try to see if you can change to a different 3D renderer (Linux uses OpenGL only, while Windows can use OpenGL and many versions of DirectX. I'm not sure what Mac OS X uses, which is why I'm proposing this).

BorWal

Dec 13, 2015 22:17

@BitcoinM Taking a good look at the pictures, I can tell that you are running the emulator on Mac OS X. I have never used Mac OS X, but I am using Ubuntu, so I'm pretty sure it can't be that different.

BorWal

Dec 13, 2015 22:13

I am quite familiar with the Dolphin emulator. I know that it has many enhancements that the GameCube itself does not provide. Therefore, I'm pretty sure that it's not particularly a problem with the general 3D-reandering graphics software installed on your computer, but the settings with Dolphin are not set correctly.

Q: My emulated game of Twilight Princess has a strange texture for water

As an extra check, with your model, the AGS-001, you might want to see if the button that turns the backlight off and on has malfunctioned. It may be loose, and toggling the light when it should be off.

BorWal

Dec 13, 2015 22:04

- Your SP suffered an accident (dropping on or hitting a hard surface), thus either forcing the connections to your backlight loose or breaking the wiring.

BorWal

Dec 13, 2015 22:02

- Your SP backlight wiring just wore out due to the strain of opening and closing many times.

BorWal

Dec 13, 2015 22:01

@RDAxRoadkill It sounds like your problem has something to do with the wiring in the hinges of your Game Boy Advance SP. It's quite possible that your problem is loose or broken wiring due to either...

Q: GBA SP screen suddenly turning darker for no reason

Hello all a few weeks ago I bought a GBA SP for well nostalgia and all that. But now suddenly two issues have come up (One which I fixed I think).
