[Feature request] Linux and Steam support ? #3

Closed Saroumane closed 4 months ago

Saroumane commented 5 months ago

Hello, I just saw your presentation video, it seems to work amazingly well, kudos !

So I have 2 questions :

Is it planned to support mame and retroarch linux/wayland builds ?

Steam has many new excellent 2D games (natively running in 240p or close to it). It would be fantastic if we could stream them to Groovy MiSTer CRT core. What do you think about it ?

Well, I can happily report it "just works" on Linux, with wine. (wine 9.3) I placed Groovy.rbf (in Utility folder) and replaced the MiSTer menu. I used the mame "no gpu" build provided with the flags provided : $ wine mame.exe -video mister -aspect 4:3 -switchres -monitor arcade_15 -mister_window -mister_ip "192.x.x.x" -mister_compression lz4 -skip_gameinfo -syncrefresh -nothrottle (Of course you have to use the real IP of your MiSTer FPGA)

On Linux it's important set a udp send buffer like "sysctl net.core.wmem_max=2097152"

Sometimes during my first tests, the picture became a bit blurry. Could it be a fix for this ? (I did not try to modify any settings on the Groovy core itself)
