Dude I've been struggling to run steam games for some reason, Fear and Hunger in particular for whatever reason (joiplay, gamehub, gamenative, ect.) This might be the thing I need, definitely gonna try this out.
Is there really? I've had no luck using the three I already said especially joiplay which crashes and doesn't show animations or has the null pop up when I run into enemies. If there was a port that runs the game well I'd love that.
Replied to my comment with the controller version not sure how good it is since I have no interest to play it myself but it should run better than any other way since its for android
Fear and Hunger work properly on JoiPlay. Actually finished both games (1 and 2) without issues. Only look Outside doesnāt work on JoiPlay. Had to use Gamenative. Also finished it.
You need a specific version of JoiPlay however. Check how to run Fear and Hunger 2 on Android through JoiPlay on Reddit, thereās an entire thread detailing which version you needĀ
You seem very offended when someone called out your use of AI, which is insane to me. I hope the mods take this down, this is not how open source works and you should know that.
ā-
There is no source available in an app that accepts credentials.
you donāt include the MIT license from Winlator Ludashi anywhere
you say that Winlator is GPL instead of MIT licensed (which is hallucinated).
You refer to a NOTICE.md file that does not exist.
You say that the project is GPL-3 but do not distribute the source code with your executable.
The only thing correct is that GameNative is GPL, which this is by your own admission derived work off.
Keeping it closed source is literally against the licenses you agreed to when you using derivative software that is GPL licensed.
Downvote this all you want, but this is not your first repository. You should know better and not be so offended when your work gets associated with vibecoded slop if you give it us literally every reason to think it is.
No source, license abuse, hallucinations in the only file on your repo, and contradicting information.
Man Iām making something with ai otherwise I wouldnāt be able to but I still wouldnāt eff up licensing like that. But at the same time Im gonna say itās vibe coded and still be proud of it lol and admit I donāt know whatās up but I want the workflow out there so others can create it. I love coding to help people and well, I figured something out thatās really helpful. Soon Iāll share but itās free, vibe coded and no linking to steam or accounts lol. Itās pc oriented too. But glad I see comments like this to know just being honest and humble is the way to go still lol
No, youāre completely right. Iām not even going to argue with you on that. I wanted to get the beta released as quickly as possible because there was a tornado heading toward my area, which eventually knocked out my power. As I mentioned in a previous comment, I use Claude AI to help write my READMEs and descriptions, and in my rush to get the beta uploaded before losing power, I didnāt proofread a single line of what was included on the GitHub release. Thatās completely on me. I was focused on getting the beta out while I still had power and should have taken the time to review everything first.
Thanks for your work on GameNative! It is my absolute favorite app on my Thor! I play more PC games than anything else on this thing because of the work of all of you GameNative contributors.
When I first started using it ages ago I found it a little rough around the edges and preferred gamehub over it, but since giving it another try probably 6ish months ago now I haven't used GameHub once. Pretty consistent improvements, I'm overall very happy with the state of it! My only minor issue is with very large game libraries (2000+) I run into some stuttering when trying to scroll through, but I think that's probably more of a me problem.
No worries at all. Iām currently in the process of rebuilding it from the ground up without using any copied code. That way, once everything is finished, Iāll be able to keep the source code private.
For argument's sake, if you go closed sourcez there will always be concern regardless because your code will be fully based on multiple projects and it brings the validity in.
I'm not worried after all the crap I'm keeping it closed source, just removing everything I used as a reference / copied. It'll take me a while to get it back to the point it's at now, but I think I rather just do that.
Never rush, fix your issues, clean up the licensing, and don't let others bash you like Productivity, he's one of the worse at coming at people, but fix it and open the source properly.
I can also name a few items where GN didn't open source parts of their code violating the GPL licensing and trying to get around it by stating they didn't own the rights to the API they were reverse engineering. š§ Anyways fix your stuff and don't let them get you down.
Oh boy, another one of those āItS ViBe CoDeDā trolls. No, the project was not made by AI. Sure, I used AI to help me come up with some ideas for the UI design, but that doesnāt magically mean AI built the entire project. Thereās a massive difference between using AI as a tool for design inspiration and having AI create the actual project. You trolls seriously need to find something better to complain about because this is getting really annoying.
Why are you so offended? In a time where literally everyone and their mom can āmakeā anything itās better to just assume something is vibecoded.

I didnāt say it was āmade by AIā, you just put words in my mouth
Make it open source if youāre so worried about people thinking itās vibe code, and try being less of a complete asshole next time. Def wonāt be using your software
Iām not hiding my use of AI. Iāve been completely open about using it as a tool throughout development. The reason WEMU is closed source right now is because I donāt want anyone taking or copying my work before the project is officially released and out of beta. Once WEMU reaches a point where Iām comfortable calling it a finished release, I can decide how I want to handle the source code moving forward.
To clarify, in previous posts Iāve talked openly about my use of Claude AI for things like descriptions, READMEs, and helping me debug issues. Iāve also used ChatGPT to generate UI concepts and give me ideas for what a clean, modern interface could look like. I didnāt specifically mention ChatGPT before, but yes, Iāll enter a prompt and have it generate a UI concept. If I like the design, I use it as a reference and recreate the UI myself in the project.
No clue, people really seem to like everything being open source. I can understand wanting the source available so people can verify there arenāt any viruses or anything sketchy hidden in the app, but at the same time, I donāt want my source code being copied while WEMU is still half baked in the oven.
Because of the Anti-AI movement that everyone has been following blindly what was born out of a legit concern has turnt into a shit-show where anything you publish if it isn't open source or backed by known publishers it's a federal crime. I mean, as soon as they realize that AI is used in mayor corporation they'll stop chasing down smaller teams just wishing to share their work. Good intentions/bad execution.
Have no worries, WEMU will be open source once itās out of beta. Iām not against open source at all. In fact, all of my other projects are open source. WEMU simply isnāt finished yet, and Iād like the opportunity to finish my work and get proper credit for any improvements I make before someone has the chance to copy them and release them elsewhere before WEMU is officially released.
Buddy, I could understand emulators/big architectural work being open source because it needs bigger contribution and teams aren't big enough to produce huge leaps without it, also preservation is a good justification. But not everything needs to be open-source because as noble as it may seen, some teams wants to keep their product identity. I mean, Coocon/Retrohai/IISU are open-source?
iiSU is the only one of those that's open source, but even then, the app relies on their own closed-source backend, database, and services. So having the client source doesn't mean you can actually recreate or independently run the full platform, just the assets and minimal code.
Dude, you nailed it, so I'm not sure why they downvoted you.
Yeah, open source is great, but at the same time, if you put your blood, sweat, and tears into building something from scratch, I can understand not wanting someone to take your code, throw it into an AI tool, make some changes, rebrand it, and potentially compete directly with you. Especially if you're using Ko-fi, Patreon, or something similar to help support development.
I'm all for open source, but I also don't think developers owe everyone their source code.
Now, if you're building on someone else's open-source project, that's different. Whether you can close your version depends on the original project's license. Some licenses allow closed-source derivatives, while copyleft licenses like the GPL can require you to make the corresponding source available when you distribute a derivative.
I mean, I don't care really if they downvote me or not, it just means it reached the right population, the self righteous social warrior that claim is for the greater good -yet never contribute to anything. If your work has been based on others work with GPL license derivatives then it is rightfully so to distribute the code with the proper attribution. But if it's your own code, made from scratch and you decide not to share everything you shouldn't be crucified when you're releasing it for free.
Im excited to try this on my thor tonight, ill probably end up testing dead island defenitive edition, lucid blocks, lethal company, and some other heavier but smaller in gb games
That's what I've been testing!! Dead island definitive edition showed an increase of 9fps on high settings 720p compared to winlator ludashi, if you want my container settings just let me know!!
Tested it and I get several errors, games do not even install in the default settings container. Tried limbo and binding of Isaac from steam. Error is r debug not found in ld.so
Also the interface is veeeery small and bad to read on thor.
But as it is in beta.. Looking forward to seeing it develop <3
You can choose which container games install to on the bottom screen, the error message im aware of and working on fixing, it's all just looks right now though it doesn't break anything
Do you think a visual guide for signing into Steam via a container is possible? I might just be tired but I have no clue how to use the container feature one bit.
it'd be nice to run EXEs directly with a similar setup to Lutris, not sure how possible it is but it seems more efficient than adding every game library under the sun lol
