I’ve never heard of this tool. Is this basically lutris for windows?

There is also bcl on fdroid, requires no dongle but root access, as it just changes some lines in a config file on the root partition.

Ps3 pads can be bought very cheaply used. I replaced the battery on mine (they are to old in most pads today), but did not bother doing it for the kids pads. They work well enough with a USB cable connection.

Is it you Sif? Sif I’ve finally found you!

Consider undervolting cpu and gpu and you will be able to get away with a leaner psu. I always do this and there really is no downside if you overclock the gpu a little to compensate for the undervolting. Your system will run cooler as well often stopping cpu/gpu from throttling down, so with a bit of luck you can even gain performance while saving on power. It depends on the cpu/gpu combo, but you can expect to save around 50 Watts under full load with both components properly undervoltet.

Here’s a very good guide for undervolting your gpu under windows, it’s meant for nvidia gpus but the process is very similar with amd gpu’s and/or under linux.
