ExcessBLarg! posted:The ext4 filesystem that the Deck uses preallocates metadata (inode tables), so with the default inode ratio you do lose quite a bit of space. Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't upset about the "missing" GB so much as I was worried about the card being genuine or not.

Iirc there's a validation test built into the Deck's formatter, if it passed that you should be fine.

This feels so wrong, but you can even grab a cart reader and play old carts on your deck using a Joey Jr (cheaper, plug and play, more portable) or GB Operator (better software integration) I've been tempted to build or buy an AIO cart reader: https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/Overview https://savethehero.builders/  Corb3t fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Oct 14, 2022 |

Note that you can run into a very Fun situation where everything will tell you your disk is full even when you can look at it and see "Free space: literally over half the drive"; if you're going to be shrinking the inode space, just make sure you're aware that you can still run out of space if you fill your filesystem with a ton of tiny files everywhere. E: You probably won't run into this, but it's worth being aware of because it's a real headscratcher if you're not aware of the other limits. This feels wrong.

I envision the same thing as you, as much as I'd love to keep all of that old poo poo around it's not going to do me any good, plus I can make scratch off of it to feed the Deck (I see you Valve, I see you) and it's less poo poo for me to keep. Sony's already going that route, I don't think Nintendo would change course for a long while unless they just stop making money which won't ever happen.

Quixzlizx posted:3. I noticed when loading the Discover store that there are system updates to things like the KDE Application Platform and Mesa drivers. Is there a reason why Steam isn't automatically bundling those in system updates, and should I be leaving them alone instead of updating? Flatpak uses pretty much its own separate isolated operating system image for its applications, including GPU drivers. Flatpak apps use those drivers, Steam uses SteamOS drivers. It's set up that way to avoid compatibility issues across different Linux distributions by bringing its own containerized "distribution".

For Wii U games on Emudeck, where do I put the title files?

Wii U is a bit more complicated than other emulators. First, make sure you have the right files, there should be three sub-directories in the game directory (code, content, and meta) and a meta.xml file in the meta directory. If you have a bunch of .app and .tik files you need to decrypt them. If you're on Windows and are somewhat familiar with command line you can use CDecrypt. Once the games are decrypted you can just drop the whole folder in the roms/wii u/roms directory and Cemu/Emulation Station/Steam Rom Manager should just recognize them the next time you use them.

Makes sense, although for some reason I thought each individual Flatpak app had its own container of libraries, in case two different apps in your OS require different versions of the same library.

Strangely enough, I've been going through the top games on metacritic per platform (80+ scores) with the aim of emulating the good stuff and I've spotted a couple of things: 1) When you get to the PS3 era, most "good" stuff is a lot of loving sports games or multiplat stuff that's already been ported to steam and I've already got relatively quick access to on the ps4 or ps5. 2) I'm just not that inspired to replay many of the games from that era. I dunno if it's just too recent or that we're currently playing sequel X of the same series so it's all just the same stuff with lower textures or something.

don't let anybody log in to steam on your deck... if they have the same game it might delete your save file > does anybody know how to fix that? maybe the local files on my pc are still there? rollback?

I got a 48" 4k OLED 120hz monitor because of bad impulse control (plus $1499 marked down to $799 plus a $200 rebate). It is funny to me that now I will be playing a lot of the same games at either deck size or "too big, dummy", with no inbetween

I got my Steam Deck Dock. Works perfectly. 3440 x 1440 @ 100Hz over HDMI 2.0 on my Alienware AW3423DW. Unsure if Freesync is working, is there a way to check? Half Life 2 runs at 80fps at this resolution. A Steam Deck can really be a main PC for someone who does light gaming and web browsing.

I ended up going with the 4k70 one as im not really interested in doing too much tv / monitor okay but would be nice for some of the couch co-op games. Mostly would like to be able to charge while loading up roms.and poo poo with a USB stick

For you guys trying to transfer large files over, if it's a Windows environment it seems pretty trivial to just share a folder and smb connect to it from the deck in desktop mode and just start copy/pasting everything and letting it go. Also I use DWService as a really simple but good remote agent that works great to mess around with the dock from my desktop.

kynikos posted:How is Scorn? It runs surprisingly well on the Deck, I was fully expecting it to buckle from the early build I had tried before, but it's great on High. It's mostly puzzling so far, but playing it with the lights off on the Deck is a get mood setter. About 2 hours into it, it's fairly solid so far. Can't wait to get the physical art book from them though.

Anyone know a good way to install Minecraft (bedrock) onto the Steam deck? Specially the windows version? I don't give a gently caress about Java, this is only to play with my kids. Aside from goofing around with them, I'm kinda over the game. Been playing it on and off for 12 years  It looks like I'd have to install Windows, which I'm not doing. How do y'all get Game Pass on there?

MCPElauncher, which runs the android phone minecraft, bedrock compatible, works on the Steamdeck. It's running a couple of versions behind (1.18) due to development issues and possibly some drama, but you can get that running without too much hassle. (as long as your kid is playing same version)
