  • Well not sure what was different this time but it fired right up after install.

    I didn’t test extensively but the controller support seemed to work reasonably well. I just played through Mos Eisley and nearly got gold even with a little delay on figuring out controls.

    There are definitely some tweaks to the control scheme I’ll want to make - it doesn’t follow modern conventions very well (e.g. the fire button isn’t any of the trigger/shoulder buttons). The only issue I noticed is if I accelerated, the camera didnt always keep up. I’m not sure what exactly is causing that. I’ll have to play with settings later to see if I can get it right.

    IMO, much better than keyboard though, for my preference anyway.

    Unrelated to the controller, it doesn’t want to use the right sound output and I can’t figure out how to control that. In my setup a fairly minor inconvenience. I might be able to figure that out when I get more time to mess with it.



  • It’s not even a dual boot. You can enable a linux access from ChromeOS that is essentially the full install. Shell access as well as GUI apps.

    I have used it with a lot of success. The initial startup of the sandbox is a bit slow and I seemed to run out of space quickly on mine but for light work it’s definitely usable.
