There are other places you can get roms obvi but you'll be dealing with ads and painfully slow dl speeds.

Are you playing an emulated version or the GoG PC version? Trying to decide which would be better on the deck.

Emulated, I set up with Emudeck. I actually bought the GoG version awhile back before I had a deck but it wouldn't work on my PC, so I went this route.

Install windows on an SD card or make a second partition on your SSD.

I’d just do the sd card route tbh

Yep I have Win11 on an SD card. I’d say it’s more hassle than it’s worth if you’re a casual Destiny 2 player like I am but if you’re really into it and want to play it on the toilet, it’s pretty cool.

The actual setup isn’t terrible but using windows is kinda terrible.

The battery life is poo poo. I can’t figure out why sleep doesn’t work so I have to do a full boot each time which takes about 1:30 or so.

The trackpads work when windows first boots but then just stop working for whatever reason.

Once you are loaded though destiny 2 plays pretty drat good though.

Just finished up The Simpsons: Hit and Run. That last mission to deliver toxic waste to the alien mothership is a real doozie, although I randomly ended up finishing with like 20 seconds to spare after trying and failing 10 times last night.

Game holds up super well. The loop is simple, sometimes to a fault, but the cartoony physics mixed with a charming open-world still stands out as a unique experience even in the decades since it came out.

Second dumb question how do you like uninstall things that were downloaded from the discover store? I think I want to delete FFxIV since I haven’t played it since I got my deck.

The discover store has a button on the left side towards the bottom that shows you a list of installed apps, you can uninstall apps from that list

Hi. my deck is currently sitting in Carol Stream IL with a sticker on it waiting for fedex but while I wait I was wondering if anyone has partitioned the SD card before. I'm getting a basic 64GB deck so I was hoping I could get a HUGE 1TB MEMORY CARD and then partition some of it off for a windows install and use the rest for steam games?

Is there a guide anyone followed to get the blizzard launcher going on this thing?

There's guides on YouTube. I just did it yesterday and it's fairly simple. Go into desktop mode and download the launcher setup exe, then add a non steam game and force compatibility. Then do it again with the launcher exe basically. Then everything installs from the launcher pretty painlessly. At least d2r did.

Does anybody have issues with apps installed through the Discover store not triggering the file explorer when you attempt to click on something like "Open ROMs Folder" or "Open HD Textures Folder"? I've heard it's some sort of permissions/sandboxing issue, and only some apps have the issue. I discovered Flatseal (https://itsfoss.com/flatseal/), which I thought might solve this issue, but couldn't figure it out - the issue still persists.

I could just pull down and install the non Flatpak "AppImage" versions of many of these apps from Github, but then I'd lose automatic updates, which is pretty nice when you're talking about emulators that are regularly being updated to improve compatbility.

Does anyone know if you can change the hotkey for fast foward in retrodeck, which uses retroarch I think. To access it, you have to press the 2 Square Button (Select?) + Right trigger, or whatever I change it to. If i set it to a back button, I still have to press the Select + back button. I kind of want to keep the Select + w/e and just have Fast foward only on a back button, but not sure if it works like that. Also, I set the fast foward to 2x or 3x, but I can't tell if that works at all, seems to be the same speed to me.

Does Emudeck work the same way for their hotkeys? I might use that instead, or just go with stand alone emulators.

Less likey to get Cease and Desisted into oblivion if you say it's not going to be distributed.

They're posting youtube vids of their progress. It looks neat.

The first thing they did was rip the entire game's geometry from a modded version of the game that mashed all the levels into one continuious environment and plonk it into whatever game engine they're using textures and all. Like one step in they're spawning in a prefab car object and driving around an open world version of the game. Crazy that it all worked so seamlessly.

Boilr needs added to the OP. It's great to make your non-steam games not look like 2nd class citizens. It will allow you to import logos and box art from steamgriddb and makes it nearly effortless. It's in the discover store and pretty easy to get setup and use. Here's the short video for how to set it up.

Preordered on the 25th, the ‘your reservation is ready!’ email came last Thursday, got dicked around by the payment system so it wasn’t paid for until Friday night, and the shipping email came in this morning.

Did anyone else have an issue paying for the Dreck? With both CC and PayPal I’d just get ‘an unknown error has occurred, contact support’ and after getting tired of waiting for support’s 24 hour response time I ended up just filling my Steam wallet in $100, $50, and $25 increments (getting the same unknown error intermittently, and a few ‘too many transactions’ cooldowns) until I could use it to fully pay for the deck

Go name brand. If people are concerned with bootlegs, I can assure you no name cards will be the same or worse.

SanDisk
Samsung
Kingston


Edit: And of course buy from a legitimate retailer, no third party or marketplace people.

IIRC these are all the major brands of SD card manufacturers (mostly the same as RAM manufacturers), and as long as it's not a bootleg none of these brands will do you wrong.

SanDisk
Gigastone
Kingston
Lexar
PNY
Transcend
Samsung

I wouldn't get a no-name card because it's extremely unlikely that a no-name card will beat one of these major brands when they go on sale anyway. I recommend a U3 A2 card. https://www.sir-apfelot.de/en/Meaning-a1-a2-on-sd-cards-24628/

Ps5 remote play question -. When using chiaki to take ps5 or of standby mode, it turns on the ps5 ... But then stays on the "press the ps button" and I'm not sure if the deck can actually bypass that. Is there a way to get it just to log right in to my account?
