Now that you mention it, I could go for a Nitro Cold Brew.

So I�ve got the hang of Emudeck and the Steam Rom Manager. Sometimes the Rom Manager thinks a game has a different name so it won�t download any artwork for it from SteamGridDB. I could download the art manually, but I�m sure that it�ll be easier for it to scrape the art if it�ll get the name right. Is there a way to manually change the name so that it scrapes the art correctly? For example, it misnamed Ico as �Iconic.�

Add a year after the name like (2000).

After setting up a dedicated filesharing thing on our local network we've been doing a ton of emulation and dumping our game collection. I'm sad xbox 360 games are a pain to dump, but I can't get xenia to work so :shrug:

i tried it thru lutris and directly through steam to no avail, so if anybody has advice for getting an x360 emu to work on SD lemme know. i know they're gonna release a linux version eventually so it might just be a matter of waiting for that

Steam. Nearly all the desktop navigation stuff including the keyboard relies on steam input and requires steam to be running. It all works the same way in Windows also although you get the old UI until they backport the Deck stuff.

v1ld posted:

TL;DR: The Deck's audio jack output is excellent and if you're already happy with their output using headphones or in-ear earphones, don't bother reading this long effort post.

The built-in speakers on the Deck are very good indeed, but they are still limited in what they can do for output that needs a very full range. It's noticeable in Elden Ring where gameplay audio comes through very clearly on the speakers but the background orchestral score has lots of missing detail when compared to using headphones. I.e., game is a blast to play without headphones but good headphones make a noticeable and enjoyable difference.

I've been looking at how best to hook up headphones to the Deck - beyond "plug them in!" of course - so here's an effort post. Will repeat that the speakers on the Deck are very good for typical gameplay audio, there's absolutely no need to go down this rabbit hole.

- Connecting a wired headphone directly to your Deck's audio jack is the lowest latency possible and is excellent for gaming.
- If your (wired) headphone is very efficient, which means it doesn't need a lot of power to achieve a good volume and, more importantly, its full range then you're all set. This isn't just about hearing it loudly, it's about the headphones having enough power to drive the full range of audio being fed to them - you may not hear some of the detail if the phones are not efficient and are not receiving enough power. ER's soundtrack is actually a pretty good test, even some wind noise doesn't show up on the speaker output for example.
- If they're not efficient you'll need some form of amplification to drive them or the source audio jack must itself provide enough power.
- The Deck's audio jack is running at higher power than most devices. Certainly more than most, but not all, phones or even your typical Windows laptop or desktop (Macs seem to do better here).
- My current best pair of headphones, a 6+ year old B&O H6 2nd Gen, isn't efficient at all though they sound lovely. Most portable devices struggle to drive them well but I'm quite impressed by how much the Deck can drive them - but it's still not as good as with an amp in the flow.

Things are different on the unwired/Bluetooth side:
- The Bluetooth connection is purely data and power for the headphone is in the BT headphone itself which was presumably designed with balanced power/efficiency in mind and that shouldn't be your primary problem.
- BT latency is a real problem. I tried out my voice calling/exercise/outdoor music BT earphones with the Deck and the lag is very very obvious even to me and I'm not very sensitive to that kind of lag usually. It's bad enough that using those earphones is a non-starter for me.
- Lag is typically a function of the codecs in use. The Steam Deck can use just about any codec under the sun, which is brilliant. It's like the most fully featured BT stack going of any console or even most phones. Thank you, Linux.
- But your BT headset may not support a low or even medium latency codec whose lag is acceptable to you, especially if you bought them to be primarily focused on other activities instead of gaming. Try it out and see.
- AptX LL (low latency) is one low latency codec that's supported by the Deck. AptX Adaptive is a newer codec that isn't focused on latency as much as varying the bit rate on the fly, but it's supposedly in the medium latency region and may suffice - I haven't used it.
- AptX LL didn't take off though the tech is neat, may be because of licensing and cost overhead. Adaptive seems to be in more devices. Check codecs before buying any BT gear!

Two other options exist to address the power and latency issues:
- Use wired headphones with an external amplifier to address any power issues.
- Use wired headphones with an external Bluetooth DAC with a low latency codec.

You can get portable combined amp/dacs that do both of the above. The (excellent) video below covers the most popular options here but the target audience is music listeners so latency is not a primary concern that's covered in it.

The approach is to buy wired headphones that are not for gaming but instead are great for all audio and then let the dac handle all of the low-latency connectivity to the deck while the amp handles powering them. So while the dac/amp is an added cost, I prefer buying good general purpose headphones because I use them for non-gaming as my primary use case.

If you're buying new headphones be sure to consider where you'll use them. Closed back headphones don't leak as much sound but can be more uncomfortable over a long session and the sound may not be quite as good or more expensive to be as good. The H6 I have is closed back and was bought for listening while traveling as the primary focus. The Deck is such a great device I'm going to use all the time that I've ordered an open back set to use primarily at home.

The Qudelix-5K that they recommend is indeed a great buy, but a few points worth noting.
- Is perennially out of stock since it's such a good deal, but check their website too. I haven't had any luck in a couple weeks of looking.
- Has best in class BT connectivity in terms of antenna and range, they designed for this.
- Doesn't do AptX LL but does do AptX Adaptive so low latency isn't a given. From their forums the team has said they'll never do LL because of the increased licensing costs and the poor coverage in existing headsets, again because of the increased licensing costs. Adaptive is supposedly pretty decent but it's not a fixed latency or even bitrate, so ymmv depending on game and other, environmental conditions.
- The major squee factor on the Qudelix for audiophiles is its fantastic coverage of Parametric EQ and the preset configs for each headset that are in vogue in that community. It's still the best device by many other factors but this is the killer feature that no one else can match. It's not important to me, though it would have been nice to have - I don't plan to spend a lot of time messing with EQ curves. But I would have like to have the possibility.
- Has a killer phone app that gives you access to the EQ and more.
- Has ok power output on a normal audio jack (single ended or SE jack) and also has decent power delivery on its balanced output if your headphones support balanced power delivery, which is typically twice or more what you can do on an SE jack. When I say decent, it means it should be able to drive most even ineffiencent headphones with no problem.

Their other choice, the iFi Blu Go:
- Has excellent power delivery over both the SE and the balanced outputs. It's best in class by a long way here.
- No app or no EQ possible, but they have 3 presets that address common needs you can switch through with a button.
- Has AptX LL support and broader codec support than the Qudelix in general.
- Has reports of BT connectivity issues at even medium ranges so if your use case is to walk around without the transmitter near you, it will probably have problems.

They've both got decent batteries, though the Qudelix is slightly larger. Should get 6-10 hours out of them depending on lots of factors, even the efficiency of your headphones.

The iFi costs almost 2x what the Qudelix does, but is actually available. There's also a new Shanling UP5 device but it has lots of reports of BT dropouts that haven't been addressed in firmware updates yet.

Both of these devices will let you connect either wired over USB C or wireless over BT. If you connect wired, both devices will charge themselves while acting as a dac and an amp for the connected wired headphones. I plan to try both setups. Wireless to the dac/amp with AptX LL. Wired to the dac/amp using a hub that is connected to the Deck which the dac/amp and a USB PD power source is then connected to as needed.

I'm going with the iFi Blu Go because I want the extra power output as that gives a wider range of headphones you can drive and the AptX LL codec is important for the Deck IMO. I plan to use the BT connectivity so there's no need for a USB hub in the path and the USB C port on the Deck is only used for power.

Both the iFi Blu Go and Qudelix 5k have been great, by the way. The Qudelix is way the better price/feature deal, no comparison, but the Blu Go's completely self-contained, no-phone UI means I use it more.

... is a heavily modded Skyrim running on the Deck. Sharing because I added a weather mod with an integrated ENB today and the Deck still manages to produce around 26-30 fps with no wild jitter or sudden drops in fps. The GPU is maxed and CPU is usually north of 45% which means you're draining battery ridiculously quickly, but the game is running smoothly on this tiny little machine with an ENB active. I threw the mod on there just to see how badly the Deck would do and it turns out to be playable. Pretty incredible.

Love this machine.

I think Titanfall 2 is one of the best things I have played on Steam Deck. It was also one of the first things I played through on it so i was just kind of in awe that it looked as good as it does on PC/console and still pulled 60fps the whole time. I even played some multiplayer and managed to do passably.

Lol we must have the same line of thinking, because all of those were some of the first games I installed. They all run great so pick your poison. I'd do TF2 personally.

Really hoping that reddit post / YouTube I saw about how to get Halo:MCC to run actually works because that was like half of the selling point, having all of them on the go.

For reference I don't give a poo poo about multiplayer, this was just a fix to get the campaigns working.

The other selling point was of course the previously mentioned games and roms of games that never got moved to anything current, like the Metroid back catalog and oddballs like the X-Men arcade game.

The battery in the deck is a bit over 5000mAH, so something like the Anker 737 or 537 should be enough to get you over 8 hours on even the most power hungry games.

e: the cheapest you could go with those requirements is probably this Anker Powercore III . 19200 mAh and 45 W output (which is the maximum the Deck can draw)

A couple things (not exclusively directed towards Tamba.) First, can we cut down on the "thousand + milli-" notation? "5000 mAh" is just 5 Ah. Simple! That's how metric prefixes work.

Second, ampere-hours is electric charge, and is basically a useless value unless you also know the voltage, because then you can easily calculate wattage. Watt-hours is a unit of energy, which is actually useful.

I think I may finally pull the trigger on ordering a Steam Deck. Is the thread consensus still that you're best off saving money and getting the 64gig model, and just using high capacity SD cards?

I think basically everyone is going to use an SD card with their Dreck (just like with the Switch, even though both have internal storage.) I suggest the 512 model for people who will never try to upgrade the internal SSD, the 64 model for those who definitely will do so, and the 256 is the middle choice for people who may or may not upgrade it but will primarily rely on the SD card for game storage and reserve the SSD for shaders, OS stuff, and other files that can't stay on the SD card for one reason or another.

1. I'm not planning on having more than one or two games installed at a time and I can grab more storage and a screen protector on my own. Because of this and the wording in the OP it sounds like the 64 would be the version for me - this check out?

2. Do we think this thing has long legs? I know valve has made chatter that they plan on it but I was initially thinking of holding off and waiting for a revision / version 2 because I wasn't sure about their history with hardware... but the reception as far as I can tell has been overwhelmingly positive especially in comparison to the link and steam machines. Since i don't, like, need this thing I can hold off but I'd like to play my steam library and I have a good use case for it (extended periods at the desktop is a no go for unfun reasons right now)

If you're certain you won't have that many games installed the 64gb is a perfectly cromulent option especially if you insert an SD card or if you are confident in your DIY abilities enough to install an SSD down the line.

It seems extremely unlikely Valve has any reason to work on a revision of the Steam Deck while the current one is still backordered, which will likely be until at least early next year. You could also get into some speculation about how much the PC gaming market will really be interested in pushing further graphics enhancements in a market where NVIDIA seems keen on pricing more and more gamers out of the hobby, but long story short, if you pre-order one now you're going to have a very long time before you start getting pangs about generation two. The only time Valve ever rushed a successor to market was Left 4 Dead 2.

You could also just buy a 512 microsd for like, 50 bucks and have plenty of storage to go around. Iirc read/write tests with decent sd cards have been roughly the same as the internal ssd.

SteamOS will let you hotswap them while the device is on as well, so you could have a couple if you wanted one for emulation and one for proper Steam titles, etc. There�s even a neat little thing somebody made called the Deckmate that�s got a clip-on bracket for the back and some kickstands and other attachments which has a couple little slots in the clip for extra sd cards that I thought was pretty cool.

The 256 model is in kind of a weird place - with the 512 you at least get the fancy etched screen to make it stand out a bit, but I�d go 64 plus a bigger SD card for a budget device or 512 for the bells and whistles.

Any hardware revision of the Deck is unlikely to come before 2024 imo, and that would probably be a spec bump to AMD's latest architectures (most prominently RDNA3) most likely. The Deck seems to have been a solid success and they're starting to push more mainstream marketing out there as the wait period from reservation to order shrinks so I doubt there's any danger of them abandoning it, and even if they do abandon it the progress of gaming hardware requirements seems to be massively slowing down to the point where even with no hardware revision ever it'll likely be fine to play with for a while yet. Frankly the biggest sign that the Deck's in solid health is that even big companies like Square Enix are highlighting when games like FF7R are Deck Verified.

Something along the lines of revolutionizing PC gaming the way the iPhone revolutionized phones. I think he may have overstated the importance and I didn�t take that to mean it�ll have yearly iterations. But it�s clear there�s a confidence and vision that wasn�t there with the Steam Machine a decade ago.
