It all started when myself and other French-speaking content creators were looking for people like us to share ideas and just socialize. After a few discussions, a forum was created. However, what started as a meeting ground for content creators has since evolved into a place where all Linux gamers are welcome, whether they’re content creators or not. What matters is we learn about each other while sharing ideas, blog posts, tips, games, anything that entertains us and educates us.

If you’re comfortable communicating in French and want to chat with other Linux gamers, join us at Linux Gaming Francophone.

Don’t hesitate to send me your questions and comments on either Twitter or Mastodon.

Also, if you like what I do and use the Brave browser, you can leave me a tip in form of the BAT cryptocurrency on either my website or my Twitter account. You can also use this affiliate link if you plan to buy games, books or more on Humble Bundle.

Thanks for reading and I’ll talk to you soon. Laters.

Installing the game

If it’s not done already, download and install Rocksmith 2014.

Configuring Wine

Once the game is installed, Wine should be configured specifically for it. Assuming Steam is set to install games on the /home/user/.steam/steam folder, plug in the Real Tone cable before entering these two command lines on the terminal :

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221680/pfx winetricks sound=alsa

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221680/pfx winecfg

The Wine Configuration window should appear and the following values should be set before clicking on the OK button :

• Applications tab
  
  • Windows Version: Windows 10
• Drives tab
  
  • Drive Z: /home/user/.steam/steam (or the folder containing the steamapps subfolder where the Steam games are installed, /mnt/TRUCS/SteamLibrary in my case)
• Audio tab
  
  • Input device: In: Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter
  • Voice input device: In: Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter

Configuring Steam

Once Wine has been configured specifically for this game, Rocksmith 2014 must be run at least once to generate an INI configuration file (Rocksmith.ini) which should be edited before launching the game for real. For that, simply right-click on the game and in the properties, click on Set Launch Options and enter the following command line:

PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%

Finishing touches

When the game has been run at least once, the Rocksmith.ini file will appear in the ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Rocksmith2014 folder or wherever Steam games are installed. Simply set the following values:

ExclusiveMode=0
Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0

Disable PulseAudio (if necessary)

Trying to tune your instrument should indicate whether the game runs properly. If a message pops up indicating that the Real Tone is unplugged, disabling PulseAudio should fix this. For that, just enter the following command lines in the terminal:

systemctl –user stop pulseaudio.socket
systemctl –user stop pulseaudio.service

To revert back:

systemctl –user start pulseaudio.socket
systemctl –user start pulseaudio.service

My first experience with Manjaro

At the beginning of my Linux journey, I was getting comfortable with the Debian/Ubuntu family (especially Linux Mint) but I’ve always been intrigued by the Arch family. Sure, its reputation as a difficult distribution to use scared me but a colleague at the office convinced me to try Manjaro which was from the same family. At first, I’ve liked using it via Live USB but since I only had one spare computer and my family was already used to Linux Mint, I’ve decided to wait to get my hands on another computer to install Manjaro on it and thus, have multiple distros to play with.

My short time with Arch

Once I’ve finally bought a computer with Pop!_OS and a spare partition for another distro, I’ve installed Manjaro on it but after a few missteps, I’ve ended up borking the whole thing. Once I’ve reinstalled Pop!_OS, I’ve decided to put Manjaro aside for the time being and challenge myself to learn Arch and see if I can install it, let alone use it despite my relative inexperience. After months of trial and error while taking notes, I finally had a stable Arch installation… or so I thought.

A choice to make

After each installation, I always found something I wasn’t happy with and restarted the whole process. Eventually, I wasn’t able to install Arch properly anymore and that was because the distro had changed so much my notes were now outdated. That means I’ll have to go through the whole learning process again. I was facing a dilemma: spend a few more months doing exactly that or just install Manjaro while trying not to re-bork it like last time. Since my goal is to learn about the Arch family, I’ve decided to put Arch aside for now and give Manjaro another try. Besides, I can always play with Arch on a virtual machine while learning to install it at my own pace. Time will tell if I made the right call.

The advantage of using a karaoke machine is that you can hear your own voice coming out of the speakers as you sing, something I haven’t been able to do with the Rock Band games. However if someone has managed to do that, please let me know.

To start outputting mic sound directly from the speakers, enter this command line in the terminal:

pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1

To put everything back to normal, enter this command line in the terminal:

pactl unload-module module-loopback

Now that you know how to do this, have fun… but try not to disturb your neighbors too much.

What initially drew me to this game

While always keeping a close eye on Linux gaming-related news, I came across this article from Linux Gaming Consortium. While my experience with visual novel is limited to Capcom’s Phoenix Wright series on Nintendo handhelds, Konami’s Snatcher on Sega CD/Mega CD and MoaCube’s Cinders on Windows via Wine, a few elements got my attention.

The art style

First, the art alone from the talented Tida Kietsungden set it apart from other visual novels by its sheer quality. While the majority of these games use an average anime-like feel, this particular one doesn’t strike me as one to follow the herd. Instead, the characters’ faces have more realistic features, they’re anatomically more accurate in terms of body proportion and the color choices veering towards neon gives a distinct 80s retro feel. This last aspect brings me to my next point: the setting.

The setting

Being born during the 80s, this is a decade I closely link to a more innocent and nostalgic period of my life despite my memory of it being kind of fuzzy. I especially cherish this era where most of my grandparents were still alive and a lot of my uncles and aunts were either teenagers or young adults entering the real world. Going back to the 80s even for a short while is an opportunity I just couldn’t miss.

The music

When a game interests me, I usually wait for it to be heavily discounted and for positive reviews to come in before I make the jump. In that case, why would I buy it full price and day one without waiting for the first reviews? The answers lies within this trailer.

The last piece of that sweet 80s nostalgia puzzle is obviously the music. New wave, city pop, synthpop… these genres represent that decade so well that the first musical notes in the trailer made me push aside my habit and commit to buy that game as soon as it hits digital stores, be it Steam or Itch.

What’s it about and how does it play

As the title suggests, A Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986 takes place in Hong Kong during the Summer of 1986. The story centers around two radically different women: Michelle Cheung and Sam Wong. Michelle lives with her mother, works in an office and leads a squeaky clean but repetitive and boring life which adheres to Hong Kong society expectations at the time. In contrast, Sam lives alone in a small apartment, runs her own video store and leads a fulfilling albeit less conventional life. She and Michelle cross paths by chance and despite their differences, see their lives changed forever and the conclusion of their story is left up to the player.

If you enjoy love stories but steamier scenes make you blush, the uncensored version is optional and available as a patch that has to be enabled manually (see Passion Patch in the settings menu).

Like a typical visual novel, there’s a lot of reading involved and fairly few player input save for a few choices in order to guide the storyline. Where the game sets itself apart from its romance-centric peers is the facts that it involves two women and that the main protagonist (Michelle) can end up with one potential partner (Sam) hence only two possible endings. From my understanding, there’s an invisible system of points that add up depending on the player’s choices which will unlock either one or two possible endings depending on the player’s score.

The soundtrack comes courtesy of three talented artists who are also on Bandcamp: Timecop1983, Stevia Sphere and Crystal Cola. Here’s a song from Crystal Cola which can be heard in the game:

What I got out of this game

LGBT rights in Asia during the 80s

I know a few homosexual people but when they tell me their story, it’s always in today’s society which treats them better than in the past. That’s why seeing it from more than 30 years in the past make me realize that while the world has changed in certains aspects, it has also remained the same in others. We live in a society where we’re expected to live a certain way and within a rigid set of rules. While Michelle lived by these rules, Sam didn’t and chose instead to live solely on her terms which was unheard of at the time.

To better understand the differences, unlocking both endings is necessary. One is the desirable one while the other is the realistic one. Also, one is longer and more vague while the other is shorter but also clearer. I’ll stop here before I spoil the story any further.

The years leading up to the handover of Hong Kong to China

I remember watching the movie A Better Tomorrow by John Woo which, by pure coincidence, was released in Summer 1986. The characters briefly mentioned the upcoming handover of Hong Kong to China. That’s when I understood the Hong Kong people were already thinking about their future way before the fateful day of July 1st 1997. In A Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986, even if that wasn’t the main subject of the story, it was discussed at one point by Michelle and Sam where each gave her opinion and what such an event could mean for the future of the Hong Kong people. Now that more than 20 years have passed since the handover, we can see there are still two camps: those content with the status quo and those that desire change.

Should you play this game?

If you wish to revisit a pre-Internet era, love music from the 80s or believe that love between two individuals is universal regardless of their identity, I highly recommend this game. Also, if like me, you tend to wait for that 75% discount before buying it, maybe this song from Timecop1983 will encourage you to buy it sooner:

The developers at Oracle & Bone have already expressed in this article their desire to add Cantonese voice acting in the future for a more immersive experience. If enough people buy it, this may come sonner than later. If you do play it, please share your thoughts with the world.

L’article How Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986 really affected me est apparu en premier sur Les Ateliers PHV.

Hey everyone. Klebs here and today, I’m back after a long hiatus. 2019 has been an eventful year for me personally. However, it also gave me time to take a step back and rethink about what I want to do with my blog.

What have I done these last few months?

Before I wrote my last blog post, I worked hard to maintain an online presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Steemit. Unfortunately, it quickly overwhelmed me and I ended up spending more time engaging with people on the Internet than actually writing. Moreover, I no longer had time to do what interested me in the first place: play video games and learn about the wonderful world of Linux. No writing material? No blog post. That and my personal life led me to take a long break. During that time, I got myself a Neo Geo MVS and a Wii U, I started using Pop!_OS fully installed on a USB key, I installed Nextcloud on my desktop computer and I kept tinkering with the MiSTer project on my DE10-nano.

What do I have in store for the next few months?

I recently created a GitLab account in order to share whatever I learn with the community. Since I’ve only been using Linux for a year, I will focus mainly on Debian-based distributions for the time being. I remain open to the idea of exploring Fedora and Manjaro is there’s a demand for it. My main objective is to write more frequently but I will allow myself more freedom to write something off-topic once in a while.

Don’t hesitate to send me your questions and comments. See you in the next blog post.

Hey everyone. Klebs here and today, I will talk about this phenomenon on Linux known as distro hopping and my first impressions of it.

Why jump on another distribution

At first, my goal was to find a distro that would allow me to do as much as possible the same things as I did on Windows. I talked to my colleagues and watched some YouTube videos and here’s what I tend to hear:

If you’re used to a Windows environment and you want to use your computer to play video games, go with Linux Mint. It’s a good distro… to get started.

To get started? Does it mean I’ll have to eventually replace it? Right now, Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon fills my needs as well as my family’s so I don’t feel the need to hop on another distro just for kicks. At least, that’s what I thought.

As I started learning more about desktop environments and the stability vs bleeding-edge debate, doubt also slowly started creeping inside my head. Some prefer the Debian/Ubuntu group because a huge number of software and games are developed with this group in mind. Others prefer Fedora/Red Hat and Arch/Manjaro/Antergos that are considered bleeding edge and are evolving more frequently. I’ve decided to leave my family desktop alone and use my wife’s laptop as a guinea pig to try other distros.

Exploring new territories using Live USB

I understand now why Linux users don’t recommend buying a brand-new laptop to install Linux on it. It’s not just a waste of money considering you’re basically paying for a Windows or Mac license you won’t use anyway. You’re not even sure if your distro of choice will work on it. I found that out real quick when I tried to boot Manjaro and then Antergos on a Dell XPS 13 9350 (see picture below).

Source: Tigerfog, iPhone

Of course, everything’s possible with a bit of research but I wasn’t willing to risk destroying my wife’s laptop while poking the BIOS. My adventure with the Arch family will unfortunately have to wait indefinitely. At least, I managed to boot Manjaro on my family desktop so I know my USB thumb drive works fine.

What’s next

In short, it was a positive experience. I succeeded in booting Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce and Fedora 29 GNOME on the laptop so instead of buying my own, I may as well use my wife’s. After all, a colleague explained to me how it’s possible to install Linux on an SSD plugged in via a SATA-to-USB-C cable. With that, it will feel like booting from an internal SSD. Next up, I will put this idea on my project backlog for this year and with this, I should be able to write tutorials for more than just Linux Mint.

Before we begin

First, I’d like to thank ETA Prime for inspiring me to write this tutorial. In his video, he explains how to extract ROMs, rename them and use them in Retroarch, a multi-platform tool for emulators. To find out more:

Source: ETA Prime

Why then do I bother writing this if ETA Prime has already covered the subject? Two reasons:

• he used Windows to explain the process
• he showed how to rename the files without getting into too much details

If you also use Windows or can get around Sega’s odd ROM-naming conventions, ETA Prime’s video is all you need. However, if you prefer a Linux-oriented tutorial or a script that will rename the files for you, I’ll encourage you to keep reading.

Buying the games and locating them

You can legally buy certain Genesis/Mega Drive games on Steam individually or as part of a special package called Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics through this affiliate link on Humble Bundle. From this point on, I’ll use the term Sega Classics when I refer to Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics for the sake of simplicity.

Since the Sega Classics game isn’t natively available on Linux, we need to make sure Steam is configured to run all games in SteamPlay mode using Proton. That way, Sega Classics will appear in the list of purchased games making it available to be downloaded and installed.

Once installed, right-clicking on Sega Classics and choosing Properties will make the pop-up window appear (see image below).

Source: personal screenshot

Clicking on the Browse local files under the Local files tab will show the exact location of Sega Classics on the computer (see image below).

Source: personal screenshot

Normally, if the username is klebs and the default location set by Steam hasn’t been changed, the folder should be at /home/klebs/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sega\ Classics

In my case as the above screenshot clearly shows, the folder is located at /mnt/DATA/Jeux/Steam/steamapps/common/Sega\ Classics

Renaming the files

Assuming the username is klebs and is using Steam’s default game location, the following commands in the terminal will create a copy of the ROMs in another folder and create a CSV file with nano:

cd /home/klebs/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sega\ Classics
cp -R uncompressed\ ROMs/ ~/Documents/SegaROMS
cd ~/Documents/SegaROMS
nano segaclassicslist.csv

Before copying the list below in nano, it’s important to make sure nothing’s missing. Also, the original filenames should match those in the SegaROMS folder.

After saving and closing the CSV file, next up, it’s time to write a script that will rename the files:

nano segaclassicsrename.sh

#!/bin/bash
IFS=","
while read f1 f2
do
echo "rename from : $f1"
echo "to : $f2"
mv $f1 "$f2"
echo "done"
done < segaclassicslist.csv

After saving and closing the script, all that remains is to make it executable and run it:

chmod +x ./segaclassicsrename.sh
./segaclassicsrename.sh

If everything goes according to plan, the new filenames should be more straightforward.

What’s a Humble Partner?

Someone who’s partnered with Humble Bundle can help the latter sell its products in exchange of a commission by sharing what’s known as affiliate links. When you click on one of these links and you buy the advertised product or anything else on the Humble Bundle website, I receive a seller’s commission. The best part? It comes at no additional cost on your end. However, by using my affiliate links to purchase something on Humble Bundle, you contribute on helping the blog grow (e.g. buying retro video game accessories for review, investing in the development of this website, etc.).

How does it work?

First, you click on the image below or another one just like it on the homepage to access the Humble Bundle website.

Second, you buy something on that website.

Third? That’s pretty much it.

I don’t know what to buy

Here’s the first affiliate link in image form I’d like to share with you:

The Messenger is a 2D action platformer with retro-style graphics and heavily inspired by Ninja Gaiden on the NES. It’s been released for a while now and I’ve long hesitated to buy it because Linux wasn’t officially supported. Knowing that it’s now playable on Steam with Proton (I’m currently using version 3.16-6 Beta), I gave it a shot and am glad I did.

The most amusing part? Seeing a ninja speak in Québécois, a form of Canadian French.

Why I’ve been less active these days?

Normally, we tend to be busier with our family during the holidays. Hoewever, I’ve also started taking online courses on blogging and website creation. This has led me to obsess over minute details and work non-stop on my website. Only when a certain influencer named Sean Cannel from Think Media TV has said on social media that done is better than perfect did I come to my senses. That’s why I’ll aim to publish more frequently regardless of the state of my website.

What do I have in store for this year?

For a few months, I’ve started to get interested in development on FPGA circuits that simulate computers and video game consoles on the hardware level, mainly the MiSTer project with the Terasic DE10-nano. I plan to share my new interest with you and also help Linux users get into this by writing tutorials for them.

Speaking of Linux, I also aim to write tutorials to help people run some Windows games using Proton in Steam. That’s because some guides on ProtonDB aren’t always straightforward enough.

Another problem I’ve had is I spend too much time writing complex blog posts thus affecting my productivity. I believe by focusing on writing more for fun instead of overanalyzing stuff, that should help me publish more content more frequently. Hopefully, that will also encourage more discussion among readers.

Closing thoughts

I’m very excited for 2019 and I hope you are as well. Questions? Comments? Let me know, thanks for reading and laters.
