Any chance the MOD Desktop could be made available to install/update using winget on windows? It’s really nice to see it being updated so fast and that could make it easier to always use the latest version on windows
Unlikely, at the moment it’s still alpha software so it doesn’t make sense to push it to a repository.
But also using something like winget puts a lot of strain on packaging and distribution side.
(there might also be licensing issues, it is Microsoft after all)
For now using the github releases is the best way.
I discovered mod desktop a few days ago, and I’m using it to evaluate if I could use dwarf in my setup.
I’m an acoustic guitar player and I’m currently using line6 helix LT, but I’m impressed by the mod ecosystem and routing possibilities! Great work!
I don’t know if it’s possible but it could be useful to have a sort of visual clue on the cpu load meter to compare the current pedalboard cpu requirement to the dwarf cpu (perhaps by comparing linux bogomips?)
Anyway I’m liking a lot what you are doing, even if it’s not still perfect and I want to say thanks.
Ciao,
Andrea
P.S.
How can I include a link to some improvvisation I made with the ModDesktop?
Hi folks, first post here, wanted to make my first dive into the MOD world by installing this desktop version but I encountered an issue that’s stopping me on two different win11 PCs: whenever I press the Start button it stops again after a couple seconds and I get this error in the mod-ui log
Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems this files are missing but I don’t know where to find them nor where they should be. Anyone who could give me a hint?
this is likely an antivirus falsely flagging it as a possible threat and automatically removing the files. this “cpu id” stuff is used to read device specific data (like CPU model, type, features etc) and antiviruses really hate those and assume it is something bad.
dont know how to fix that to be quite honest, dont want to give any bad advice here.
