  • I just download the appimage version of duckstation on the Linux side to see if it could run the game but it was unable to find my games in the ROMs Directory. Then I tried going to System > Start File and When I tried to launch the game that way I got this error.

    What is even more weird is that I was able to launch the copy on my ext4 partition despite the fact the the BIOS I selected is in the ntfs partition.

    Edit: I just tried opening the BIN and CUE files from the ntfs partition and got on error saying that the file does not exist despite the file being visible from the file manager. I also noticed that the one on the ntfs partition had some lock icons while the ext4 one did not. I also saw a windows directory in the cue file on the windows C: drive which I found very weird because I usually store all my games on the D: drive of my system. The copy on my ext4 also how this Windows Directory.








  • Ok is what happened. I was on the UNF subreddit trying to figure out how to connect my laptop to the schools wifi on linux because my university uses the thing call OnGuard which is only required for Mac and Windows. A redditor link me to this post and it turned out that the reason why I was unable to connected to the schools wifi was because the network had my MAC address was tied to Windows when I originally connected my computer to the Wi-Fi. So I tried to follow the instructions on how to spoof my mac address which I was able to do it manually but then when I tried set it up to do it automatically by installing udev and editing some files using this link in the post I rebooted my computer login into gnome on x11 and did an ifconfig and noticed that my wireless adapter changed from wlp0s20f3(which is my usually the wireless inferface on my system) to wlan0 and was unable to connect to the internet so I then tried removing udev and then out of nowwhere the system showed a CLI. I tried to reboot but it took me Back to the CLI again so I then tried to reinstall udev and reboot which did nothing. Then I tried to remove the files that I had created and that did not work either and that was when I tried to restored from timeshift.
