Proton Launch Script for Games in any Steam Library Folder
#!/bin/sh
# This is a script that allows you to easily launch Steam apps via Proton
# without going through Steam.
# It also allows you to specify specific libraries, for those who utilize
# multiple Steam library folders.
# Finally, it also makes use of curly braces for variable expansion,
# which is best-practice: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8748880
#
# To use this script:
# 1. Save it somewhere (e.g. ~/Desktop/LaunchMyGame.sh)

Patches to convert GameBoy ROM to `.pocket` (Analogue Pocket ROM)

Patches

Those patches are to convert GameBoy ROM to .pocket ROM. This allows you to play games from the SD Card on your Analogue Pocket.
Feature like RTC and Link cable seems to be unsupported by the Analogue Pocket in GB Studio mode.

Meltdown fix impact on Redis performances in virtualized environments

UPDATE: apparently kernel difference may have a serious impact, so I'll redo the test from scratch.

Test performed with AOF enabled, fsync policy 1 second, allowing the rewrites to be triggered.

Using a rotary encoder as a volume control for the Raspberry Pi

Update on Nov 30, 2025: This Gist is nearly eight years old! These instructions worked back in 2018 for the Pi 3, but recent comments suggest that they may not be sufficient on more recent Pi models and newer versions of Raspberry Pi OS. Be advised.


Using a rotary encoder as a volume control

On my RetroPie machine I wanted a hardware volume knob — the games I play use a handful of emulators, and there's no unified software interface for controlling the volume. The speakers I got for my cabinet are great, but don't have their own hardware volume knob. So with a bunch of googling and trial and error, I figured out what I need to pull this off: a rotary encoder and a daemon that listens for the signals it sends.
