  • Oh, cool. It’s possible it’s just the version of proton it’s defaulting to if multiple games are crashing.

    For X-Plane 11 I would look at what’s listed here on Protondb for a potential fix. More that likely you’ll find the answer you need there.

    If that doesn’t work, you could also try installing additional versions of Proton (Glorious Eggroll usually contains fixes that in my experience, just work). You should be able to install them from the Discover store. For that I recommend ProtonPlus if you don’t already have that installed.

    And no apology necessary! Gaming on Linux can be frustrating at times. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a game of mine struggle to run, but before Valve released proton it was a massive headache.

    Hope that helps get your game running!






  • TL;DR - For the Analogue 3D or even the OG N64, I would pick the Summercart 64. More details below.

    My preference is likely a bit biased but I prefer the SC64 for the following reasons:

    1. It’s open sourced. This may be important as time goes on since the only one who can provide updates to the Everdrive is Krikzz. That said, Krikzz does an amazing job with keeping his stuff updated in a timely manner. He had a fix for the X7 out within a week of the Analogue 3D being released.

    2. I prefer the menu layout compared to the ED. All your games appear in one long menu (can page down/up with the c-buttons. On the ED there’s a limit per page. Both still allow you to play and have a good time)

    3. Price: I spent around $50 when I bought mine. For comparison, the cost of the X7 was well over double that.

    For other systems though (NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Sega systems, etc), until something like the SC64 is available I would absolutely pick up an Everdrive, despite the high cost.

    And congrats on getting a system ordered! I know how much it can be a mad dash to get one. Hoping Analogue, INC. changes things to open preorders prior to production going forward after this.

    Oh, before I forget. For both the SC64 or the ED64 (technically for anything that isn’t an official retail cartridge) for now they will show up as an “Unknown Cartridge” on the Analogue 3D home screen. This will not have any effect on gameplay
