For file transfers (*cough* ROMs *cough*), I set up sshd here. It just needs a user password to be set with passwd, then a couple sudos to add 2 lines to the sshd_config and enable the daemon. The best thing about it is that I no longer have to bother with desktop mode for transfers, I just filezilla things straight to where they need to be.

Looks like Steam is also getting more Persona goodness as part of this:

It works great if you dual boot windows. I've been playing the poo poo out of destiny ont he Deck. I saw someone post Division 2 running on the deck but I only did 150gb partition for windows so only 1 big game at a time.

I’d avoid Amazon if possible while you might not get a fake it’s definitely a possibility.

Bestbuy will normally have a price that’s close to the same anyway.

I don't think anything can really go wrong if you get a SanDisk off Amazon as long as you make sure you're actually buying it from Amazon and not a third-party marketplace seller.

e.g. don't buy this:


search the other sellers for this instead:


(incidentally, it's really dumb how they'll surface a third party with slower shipping over Amazon, despite both being the same price)

This is the video I followed. Description has links to all the software needed and I managed to do it without a hub or multiple thumb drives. A keyboard is handy but I don’t think you even need that either. (I used a Bluetooth one)

My guiding Moonlight...



So I got EmuDeck set up and literally my whole gaming childhood is now on the Deck, integrated right into the SteamOS UI and it's the most loving amazing thing ever. This is a dream device for me. I'm currently doing a playthrough of the PS2 version of Shadow of the Colossus and it's stunning. I can't express how much I love this thing. I'm struggling to get Xemu running through, I only want it for Conker Live and Reloaded but I'm not sure which BIOS files and poo poo I need because I know Xemu requires quite a bit. The PS2 only needed 1 file so that was easy, but there seems to be a lot more to juggle with Xbox. I've played more retro titles on this than I have actual things on my Steam Library.

I also can't wait to see how much of my Switch library runs on this because at this point, why the gently caress not.

The only thing that hasn't worked on my Deck is Microsoft Flight Simulator for some reason, I've seen videos online of it working but it just hangs on a white screen for a minute or two before closing.

This is not correct. Anything shipping from an Amazon warehouse will bin all the items together that have the same SKU, so a ton of third party sellers will ship a batch of bad cards to Amazon’s warehouses to be shipped from there and they’ll all be mixed together and you could easily get a fake from Amazon proper. It’s remarkably stupid.

Yeah if you must order micro SD cards online just order from Best Buy, almost as cheap as Amazon, free shipping too.

Here's a Samsung micro SD card of the same size and specs for literally only one dollar more than your Amazon Sandisk card.

This hasn’t been true for literally years. Amazon does not commingle direct vending inventory and even 3P inventory that does commingle is done through a pretty strict approval process that would allow them to identify bad suppliers.

Basically sold by Amazon or FBA and you’ll be fine.

Hi
:saddowns: Don't look at my site :saddowns:
I have posted in this very thread about how my Steam Deck SanDisk microSD card ordered from Amazon was a total fake. So yeah, this is definitely still a thing, was sold by Amazon itself.

Question Time
Sep 12, 2010



Windows installation following a guide wasn’t hard at all, and once windows and its drivers are installed, it works just like a mini desktop. Unfortunately, desktop is the key word there. With the windows microsd plugged into a hub with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Xbox controller, it worked flawlessly, but in handheld mode windows is terrible.

Is this total overkill for a portable bank for my Deck and all other things electronics? It just looks cool, and overpriced, as all hell: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NY8GN76/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2A5D831U0XISL

Also, I know that the Deck has issues with player 1 controllers on some games if you've got several connected because the built in controller usurps all else and is always player 1. Can you Steam Link your gameplay/audio to a TV wirelessly so you play on your Deck and your friend is just watching on the TV to play?

I installed Warframe as a "could I slot in a couple missions during lunchtime at work" kind of way, and it's both good and bad.

The good: it works flawlessly out of the box.

The bad: playing Warframe with a controller is like doing neurosurgery wearing kitchen mittens.

I noticed the left trigger on my deck is mushy. Probably not enough to RMA it at this point as it really just makes the trigger feel kind of bleh. Like plastic is making contact where it shouldn't be. Can't decide if this will be annoying enough in the long run to contact valve about.

Apparently this isn't an uncommon problem and it's always with the left one.
