Apple - MESS - Steamlink

[RLLull]

Hi everyone !

 

I'll try to be as clear as possible..

What I want : To play Apple //e games within Launchbox on my TV throught Steamlink.

What works :

- I can play Apple //e games within MESS all fine on my PC

- Apple //e games launches with Launchbox/Bigbox on my computer thanks to the great tutorial :

 

What doesn't work :

When i launch Apple IIe games with my steam link on my TV, MESS launches but

- crashes immediately (on 99% of MESS/MAME/MAMEUI etc versions)

- or makes me loose any kind of control on the window (keyboard or joystick). The only thing i can do is to close MESS w/escape or Hotkeys... (on only one MESS version, the 0.198).

 

What i tried

- like 10 versions of MESS/MESSUI/MAME/MAMEUI etc

- change videos options in MESS, etc.

- speak kindly or not to my TV

 

If anyone has a clue...

Thanks

I've found, thanks to this discussion

MESS/Mess.ini

=> change joystickprovider=auto to joystickprovider=xinput

And it works !
