⚠️ WIP - Not intended for direct use. Made for my setup / systems specifically.
- Auto-mounting a Samba share on boot with all the user permissions working flawlessly: Samba.nix. Requires you to create a
smb-secretsfile to store theusernameandpassword.
- I run the 5700X3D undervolted -30mv across all cores.
- Using this script: undervolt.py
- Ran as a service: default.nix
- Using a 15Khz CRT TV (JVC TM-A170GE) as a monitor (for retro gaming)
- Hardware I use: AMD Radeon R5 340x for analogue signal out -> RGB-2YC Converter for changing the VGA to S-Video -> S-Video to the CRT TV.
- This setup requires specific 15Khz kernel patches from this repository: D0023R/linux_kernel_15khz
- How I've implemented it (I pin the kernel to the latest stable kernel supported by the patches): hardware-configuration.nix
- Need to set the default resolution for the CRT TV since there is no EDID info: hardware-configuration.nix
- Since my main GPU is Nvidia (RTX 2080), I need to use the Nvidia Prime Sync option. Then the AMD GPU is simply used as a monitor output and the Nvidia GPU does all the rendering. That is setup here: hardware-configuration.nix
- If you use X11, there is switchres available for changing resolutions on the fly depending on what system you are emulating. This should also work with the switchres setup within RetroArch (I personally prefer all standalone emulators).
