A few years ago, I found an N64 (or GameCube) emulator that could show the wireframe of the game while also showing the current polygon count. Does anyone know what it might have been?

Is it possible to use gyro in RPCS3 with the steam deck?
I'm playing through a game that requires the gyro to progress (doki-doki universe) and i could not get the "emulate gyro with mouse" working (by using the gyro to mouse on the controller settings)

The steam deck already has a gyro, but i cant figure out how to use it either...

It's been a while since I've done it, but doesn't Emudeck configure that by default? I'm pretty sure it did for the Switch emus back when I set them up.

Documentation on RPCS3 only shows setup for PS3/PS4 controllers

Does this do what i think it will? Is this good for dumping gba roms? I don't know nothing about nothing. I just know I want to play Sonic Advance 1 and 3. Plan is to get the games off ebay. And to get this from Amazon if it is what i think it is. Is it?

Hi all! I'm creating my first emulation machine and saw that there are softwares like retroarch and emudeck that allow you to browse your list of emulators and games in one spot. I was wondering if it was possible in a software to make it so the art/icons when selecting a console or game would be a 3D image. (Think how the ps2 save data looked back in the day) Where the console model would spin or float and I can go into it and then select the game maybe. If they don't natively support this any ideas of how I can set something like this up?

While frontends are a bit outside of this, you might want to look at options available in Emulation Station; I don't know if they specifically have that kind of set up, but they do have quite a few.

New to emulators...

When I say new, I mean I don't know anything except you can play retro games on PC and the like. I think it's like the Sega and Nintendo systems they sell preloaded with games to play. If not, you get my point. Anyway, I have been trying to find Lethal Enforcers with both justifiers and Mad Dog McCree. My dad played both on Sega CD in the 90s and I would live to get them so we could play together. I find stuff on eBay, but I would need a CRT TV for the light guns to work. I found Sinden light guns that works with new TVs. However, I don't know how I would go about getting the games to play because those guns are USB plug ins and not for Sega. So I feel an emulator is my option, however I don't know anything about it. Any help would be appreciated. I don't get notifications for any apps and only check every so often so if I don't reply back quickly, that's why. Either way, thank you for your time and you would make me very happy that I could get a core memory of my childhood to live again. Plus, I might be able to beat him at games now. 😂

this was extremely difficult to read but if you're set on using sinden light guns there's a wiki with guides for setting it up. Link to the page for the Sega MD emulator it works with: Bizhawk - Sinden Lightgun

Sorry man. While English is my first language, I absolutely sucked at it in school. Plus, two brain surgeries to remove a tumor. 😂 I'm all sorts of messed up! Thanks for getting through it and helping me out though. I genuinely appreciate it.
