hi everyone, sorry for my bad english, It's my fault I never learned it :cry:

so, following the suggestions found here . i have my supermodel 3 on xubuntu 24.04 , thank you jack ! you saved me from a nervous breakdown ! :D

but now I can't configure the window resolution and the joypads, I imagine it's a matter of modifying the ini file

for joypads the items to be changed are clearly visible, but I don't understand what to change for the size of the window

further question, among the many guides I tried I had read about the possibility of using emulationstation, installing supermodel with flatpak, is it possible to do it also with the compiled program?

thanks for your attention !

The README.txt is out of date but the parameters for resolution are still the same. If you compiled Supermodel yourself, it should be reading from Config/Supermodel.ini. If you installed via Flatpak or something, who knows. Someone recently put in a change that lets you store Supermodel.ini in various home directories. This of course makes everything confusing because unless you know the convention for searching for config files, you might not be sure where the INI file actually is!

To configure inputs, run: ./supermodel -config-inputs
Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and press 'q' to quit and save. If you press escape, the changes will not be saved.
