Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5	730bcd1a5d	feat(console): add the standalone Dolphin emulator ... The libretro dolphin core lags upstream on compatibility in the same way LRPS2 does, so install pkgs.dolphin-emu next to pkgs.pcsx2 and run GameCube and Wii titles through it. The cores stay for the sake of a single frontend and a shared save/state layout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-09-01 10:32:24 +01:00
Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5	4e3347cb8c	fix(console): make a failed Steam session diagnosable, add shortcut tooling ... Autologin into the gamescope Steam session does not take on the real hardware; the television lands on ReGreet instead. The config side is correct -- initial_session is present in the generated greetd.toml and services.greetd.restart evaluates to false -- so the likely cause is the session starting and then dying, which greetd answers by falling through to default_session. greetd hands a session the VT for its standard streams, so whatever the session prints on its way down is erased as soon as the greeter repaints. Run the launcher under systemd-cat so the reason survives in the journal under the steam-session identifier. Steam's non-Steam-game Browse dialog and its library-folder picker both go through the XDG portal FileChooser interface and do not open here (ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9447, #10415). Add steamtinkerlaunch, which writes shortcuts.vdf without the dialog, and document library_folder_add as the equivalent route for the library folder. Docs also catch up with the host's actual state: hardware-configuration .nix is a real scan now, standalone pcsx2 is installed, and the untested claims become the list of open problems.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5	39434b3929	feat(hosts): add lyrathorpe-console, a living-room games machine ... New x86_64 host for a 4th-gen Core i7 (Haswell) with a GTX 1070 8 GB, wired to a television and driven with a Bluetooth controller. Session: greetd gets an initial_session, so the machine autologins into the gamescope Steam session at boot with no greeter and no keyboard. Quitting Steam falls back to greetd's default_session (ReGreet), where the ordinary Sway session is available for keyboard-and-mouse work. Graphics: the GTX 1070 is Pascal, so it needs driver branch 580 (nvidiaPackages.legacy_580) like the Mac Pro's Quadro P400 -- the nixpkgs default (production, 595.x) dropped Pascal support. Games: RetroArch built through retroarch-bare.wrapper with 17 cores covering NES through PS2, GameCube and Wii; Clone Hero; and Steam with Proton-GE and protontricks. RetroArch's menu toggle is bound to L3+R3, without which there is no way to exit a running core on a machine with no keyboard. Proton prerequisites beyond what programs.steam already arranges: the esync file-descriptor hard limit is raised from systemd's default 524288 to 1048576 (soft limit untouched), and Proton-GE is wired in via extraCompatPackages. vm.max_map_count already defaults high enough in nixpkgs and needs no override. Content lives in a shared /srv/games tree created by systemd.tmpfiles, laid out one directory per system under roms/ using the libretro/ES-DE naming convention, plus bios/, saves/, states/, a Steam library folder and Clone Hero's songs. RetroArch is pointed at it declaratively. hardware-configuration.nix is a placeholder, not a hardware scan: the machine is not installed yet. It assumes partition labels `nixos` and `BOOT` and must be replaced with nixos-generate-config output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-21 17:06:21 +01:00
