ExcessBLarg! posted:It's also worth knowing that holding the Steam button while using the (right only?) trackpad makes it work like a mouse even if it functions differently in the current input configuration. This is important to know if if you ever get a mouse cursor that you otherwise can't control, or if you screw up your Desktop input settings. I'm not sure this behavior is actually explicitly documented somewhere so it's kind of hard to discover. I'm pretty sure this was part of the tutorial UI. It's also the only method I know of...? While most other options will work, nothing allows for mouse-clicking unless the steam button is pressed. (To my knowledge)

There’s a lot of shortcuts tied to the steam button and yeah they’re mentioned someone at some point. The ones I use the most are: Steam + R1 is screenshots. Steam + X brings up the keyboard.

ExcessBLarg! posted:I think games have to make use of a Steam API to have the on-screen keyboard popup. Most games won't do that, so you have to bring it up manually with Steam+X. Over time we should see less of this as games accommodate for the Steam Deck, but for now that's how it is. Thanks! I wish there was a smaller keyboard (or transparent) for these situations. I use the virtual mouse cursor all the time and its really great! Good tip

Ugh, yeah, I've had the keyboard obscure the field I'm typing in a few times, and it sucks, especially because the touch keyboard can be so unresponsive that I'm not always sure if it registered or not.

You should honestly learn to type with the trackpads. It feels off for a little bit, but then you get the hang of it. An external keyboard means you put the thing down to type and that's a hassle.

When the gently caress can I turn off "press to click" on the trackpads for the keyboard because that poo poo is my biggest issue with it. The way I use the trackpads I try to be as minimal as possible with any sort of pressure I put down on it but sometimes, especially when I go fast, I press down just a little bit too hard and I get a keypress I didn't want. I really like typing with the trackpads and the triggers, I don't want to select anything with the trackpads and it's still so annoying this can't be turned off so instead I just use a keyboard.

Anyone have gamecube games running through dolphin working well? I'm getting annoying stuttering on Wind Waker. I've installed the flatpak via Discover. It's weird, it doesn't look like the CPU is taxed at all, but there's some fuckery in the way dolphin works when launched in game mode so it has bad stutters every so often. I've seen that running it in desktop mode helps, but then IDK how to use the controller buttons as controller buttons then since I've already bound most of them to do desktop things.

There's a program that limits your CPU threads that helps out a lot with Dolphin. I don't have my Deck with me now or I'd tell you the name. But if you limit it to only using 3 CPU cores it runs better. EDIT: Here's a thread on it. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ue2vvt/this_plugin_makes_emulation_so_much_better/

Windows and Android end up loaded to the brim with manufacturer crapware, what makes them think SteamOS will end up any different. Like not just on some devices, every single third party Windows laptop and Android phone is loaded to the brim with crapware. Because in a commodity hardware market your margins are razor thin and crapware is how you make money. I think it's just an acknowledgement that SteamOS is mostly open source and there is nothing Valve can do to stop them as long as they don't call it SteamOS or preinstall Steam itself (just make the knockoff devices first boot to a web browser open to Steam's install page instead)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Valve is legally required to let other companies use Steam OS if they want to. edit: but I'm sure steam OS becoming more universally used would only benefit them. they would obviously like it if steam became the face of handheld pc gaming just as it has for desktop gaming.

I put down Dark Cloud 2 long enough to try the SM64 and OoT native ports. Both run well as expected. The Zelda Ocarina of Time native port Ship of Harkinian very easy to get going. There are linux binary releases in their discord - you don't have to compile poo poo if you don't want to. You just drop the right ROM with the right file name next to the .appImage file and go. Controls work out of the box. F1 for options and F10 for fullscreen. The SM64 port SM64ex was a bit trickier. Instructions I found for building it were for other linux distros so it was a bit of looking to find the right libraries. Render96 also didn't help, as some outdated instructions mistakenly tell you to add models before building. Controls out of the box are hosed up. They can be remapped but it didn't recognize the analog stick. This might be easily fixed by running it in game mode. Settings for SM64ex or any fork are found in /.local/share/, which can be deleted to reset settings to default. I made of copy of the built game and added the Render96 models and textures which look pretty good. This way I can have a choice in Steam between Super Mario 64 EX and Mario 64 Render96.

Rinkles posted:Just for you I checked my Inspiron laptop and 10 year old HP monitor. This made me remember something: I think we have 60 Hz as a standard refresh rate going back to NTSC/System M (in that case, it was the field rate due to interlacing) because our electrical grid uses 60 Hz AC as the line frequency, and synchronizing those values was used to prevent intermodulation; similarly, PAL/SECAM/System B/G regions were 50 Hz due to their grid's frequency. Maybe that's why those 48/50 Hz options are specifically available? I'll freely admit that I'm just conjecturing here; some of the details are factual but I may be way off base with the rest! Gay Retard posted:You could always place a USB A > USB C dongle into the third port of the Anker power adapter, which would let you charge those pesky pre-PD 2.0 devices that hate USB C to USB C cables. Oof, you're talking about using a USB-C to USB-A receptacle? I hadn't thought about that, but that might actually cause even more problems! Remember, there are different underlying power delivery standards (including multiple versions of PD over the years, Qualcomm QC, VOOC, etc.) and throwing in an adapter doesn't resolve any inherent incompatibilities. ExcessBLarg! posted:I haven't been lost in the discussion--you're suggesting that I've made points I haven't actually made. I'm going to drop the discussion because I think we're all on the same page now. The only thing I'd add is that, the one thing you've uncovered, the re-regulating (or not) hubs, is genuinely useful information to consumers yet is never advertised. It's the kind of thing that users would have to test for and create a community-run database. I'm guessing it'd take either disassembly of each hub to inspect their components, perhaps inquiring with the manufacturers to see if they'd be willing to clarify, or testing with different power sources/sinks and multimeters to see if the hubs can or can't handle different input/output voltages.
