Android is a pain. How do you add access permitions to duckstation so It can read the shaders folder?

Hi!

The standard folder structure places the shader folder inside the android data folder.

That means that you can't use any shaders due to duckstation not having permission to acess the folder.

Is there any way to fix this?

Got banned off the official duckstation discord server for being kind?

A couple of days ago, I went to the official DuckStation Discord server because I needed help with SDL connection issues regarding my controllers, gave out all of the information I could, from my distro name and type of the issue I was facing, to literally explaining everything in boring detail. The owner Stenzek apologized because he wasn't able to help me, I kindly thanked him for at least trying to assist me, then he started throwing sarcastic remarks about my distro (Bodhi Linux) and calling it unknown and finishing it with calling me "A typical Linux user".

I got annoyed, and as a joke, I said I'll be trying to figure out the issue hoping that my unknown distro won't break your emulator tomorrow, and then he started calling me a jackass and a dickhead for no given reason.

A guy tried to brush it off and trying to calm down the situation, I on the other hand thanked the one who tried to calm down the situation and thanked Stenzek for "his decent attitude" and then he told me " Why didn't you send the logs?" How would I know? Heck, why didn't you bring it up in the first place?

Silent Hill cutscene issue im curious about

Upon entering the church to speak with Dahlia, after the initial cutscene the whole thing bugs out like this and the game freezes. Though when i skip forward, i can here people speaking like something else is happening in the background. There is no other way to progress in the game that i know of.

Really dont want to have to restart my game again. If anyone can help me i'd really appreciate it.

Finally after a really really long time!

I bought a new PC because I hadn't replaced the old one since 2010 and it started to give problems

Not only that but it didn't even support duckstation when epsxe gave me a multi tap error ( basically it deleted controllers input when using 2 of them)

Now that I can finally use duckstation and I'm genuinely asking...

What makes duckstation superior to epsxe?

How to solve black geometric spots on 3d characters?

I am playing Koudelka on duckstation, it's works really well with the graphics and all BUT the characters have black geometric spots that migrate on the polygons of their bodies, it's quite annoying. Any ideas?

Audio glitches in Look outside

So, i'm making a gameplay series of this game for my YT channel but for some reason, when i've updated the game i've noticed that certain encounters and areas have either NO soundtrack at all, or the wrong soundtrack.

For example, someone will show up, or a battle will start, and there will be NO back ground sound, no battle OST or anything, and it will stay like this until i restart the game, until it happens again.

Any fixes? i've look a little on the internet, but there's nothing i could find that will really work.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force load all geometry in a level that relies on camera/player position for rendering? (Destruction Derby 2)

I'm using 3D rips from DD2 in Blender & Unreal Engine to lay out a foundation to build a modern rendition of the tracks in Unreal Engine. As of now, I'm forced to navigate the tracks inch by inch to load geometry based on my player position and take an excessive amount of 3D screenshots to reconstruct an entire track and all it's culled geometry.

Would a potential hack for this issue be implemented on a game-by-game basis or is is possible to write code on the emulator level and add a feature for this that would apply a rule to any game that loads geometry this way?

Thank you

this is driving me insane

Everytime I extract my rom from 7-zip it pops up with a traffic cone, the tutorial im watching after the guy extracts it, the file looks completely normal, then he can press on said rom and look at all the details such as .bin. but when I press on mine it tries to play audio through a media player?
