loquacius posted:Okay, next crisis: I got an Xbox Core Controller to use while my deck is docked. They apparently paired ok if I held down the pairing button, but the indicator light on the controller keeps flashing really fast and the "NOT CONNECTED" indicator on the Deck's Bluetooth menu is flashing wildly on and off. If I hold the controller's sync button down again, its indicator light starts flashing slow instead of fast, and "NOT CONNECTED" stays up. I can't get a connection to hold for more than half a second. What do? Connect it to a PC, the Xbox controllers need a firmware update to properly connect to the Steam Deck

Next down the line is that the Xbox controller's input lag for any game (emulated or native) is pretty unusably bad. I'm seeing some reports of this problem but no solution seems actionable so far. Has this been a thing for anybody else ITT?

Also, in addition to my other question about swapping 3DS screens on the last page, does anyone know how to update your RetroAchievement password in Emudeck? I'm not seeing it in the tools, and I had to change my password earlier today so it's not working anymore. Edit: Nevermind, I just went through and did it manually in RetroArch/Duckstation/PCSX2. I really don't think there is a way to update it in Emudeck without reinstalling completely. Soysaucebeast fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Oct 17, 2022 |

Does the frame rate limiter still induce input lag, or had that been fixed yet?

I can say that Soda Popinski in Punch Out feels suuuuuper wrong. Playing on the deck itself through emulation station. It’s the first time I’ve noticed the lag so far on this thing.

I tried the Rogue: Genesia demo and was interested by it but using the same structure as VS. From what I understand the stage structure seems more like Slay the Spire, though I've never played that game to know for certain.

Wii/Wii U emulation tip: download the Deck plugin + PowerTools and reduce the number of threads to 4 when playing games - it actually overclocks the 4 active cores and makes most Wii games run without issue.

ExcessBLarg! posted:You generally don't want to run the frame limiter at all with emulators. They all run off internal timers* that correspond to the refresh rate of the emulated system. At best, frame limiting just drops frames that the emulator is generating anyways, and at worst it's going to cause stutter and adversely affect input latency. good to know!

Ordered a Steam Deck 512GB off of eBay from the UK (I'm in Australia, a forbidden zone featuring actors and that Statue of Liberty from Planet of the Apes) for about $150 more than I'd pay on postage, GST and a US phone number and handling from a forward shipping service... and I'm fine with it. Now I play the waiting game, and avoid all of my other consoles whilst feverishly searching for accessories, games and tips for a new toy.

I have some WUXs that work fine but the rest are in that folder format and the Steam Rom Manager doesn't seem to see them. You need to go into desktop mode and launch Cemu from Steam there. Then go to File > Install and navigate to meta.xml in the Meta folder for the relevant game. That will add it to Cemu and allow Steam Rom Manager to see it.

Has anyone sold their PC to just play on Deck? I honestly haven't used my gaming laptop once singe I got it, but...I dunno just not having the more powerful hardware there if I want it, keeps giving me pause on selling it. And if I want to play gamepass games it's much preferable to do it there, but I really just use gamepass on Xbox 95% of the time.

I do like 75% of my gaming on PS5, but I think ultimately I'm gonna just keep my laptop around and not upgrade it as well. It's just tempting to get rid of it and clear some space and maybe put 600 bux or so in my pocket, because it's not being used right now, but I only having the deck option would probably be annoying at some point when there is some thing I want to play on a bigger screen that I can't just play on console or want to play something that is less of hassle to just play using Windows.

My Steam Deck was acting really problematic with the Dock, so I said gently caress it, wiped the whole thing and reimaged it. It's a much, much smoother experience now. However it seems like all of my Emudeck saves and whatnot were wiped with the reinstall even though I have Emudeck on the microSD card... weeeeeeeelp. sigher fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Oct 17, 2022 |

I'm sure you've all watched something while playing something else, and those memories get tied together, probably for years if not forever.

My Deck shipping seems to be stuck at “on its way to the final parcel centre”, and the last updates seem to have it still in the Netherlands. Did anyone else have this for several days before delivery to the UK? Detailed tracking isn’t showing me an updates since October 14th, although I guess it has been the weekend since then (not sure how much difference that makes in the world of international shipping).veni veni veni posted:Has anyone sold their PC to just play on Deck?

If it’s likely there’s going to be big AAA releases down the line that you’d just rather have the full fat, locked 60fps experience with - then it makes sense to keep your PC around I guess?

Detailed tracking isn’t showing me an updates since October 14th, although I guess it has been the weekend since then (not sure how much difference that makes in the world of international shipping). Yes, both with my Deck and Dock. Its a slow transport from the Netherlands to the UK, took about 3-4 days both times. As for getting rid of my main PC it's honestly something I've considered, but I'm one of the sick degenerates who plays League of Legends so I need Windows for that. Though I'd also probably just use my Macbook with a dock to do that. But at the same time I'd probably want to get a mini PC of some kind to connect to the TV for higher level emulation so its probably better for me to just move the PC and connect it directly to the TV. I might end up doing that if DeckOS ever becomes freely available to just install officially.

Pretty much a week of that, and then it suddenly appeared in Finland, and was available for pickup the same evening, except for me the week long delay was between Denmark and Finland.

The Deck has changed up how I go about playing video games. My partner and I used to vigilant about what the other was into watching or playing so as to share the rig / tv. We never argued over it or anything, but there's less game to be had when it's always behind booting up the thing and fills up the room. Unless it's particularly bombastic I'm happy to play my thing handheld on the couch and half- pay attention to some series or movie I wouldn't normally go for. More movies for them, more games for me. More movies for me too. The thing has been surprisingly good for Us. This is a role that the Switch kind of filled, and the Wii U before that. But the novelty is gone where it's still strong with the Deck, and the library gives it longer legs. I love the Splatoon games and still haven't picked up the new one. Snackmar posted:There was a surprise update to Super Amazing Wagon Adventure today! It now works (the music was broken before) on Steam Deck Very stoked for this.

Well, using a HL2 control scheme as a baseline, I now have the perfect No Man's Sky control setup. Touching the right thumbstick immediately turns on gyro, and I've even added a few other shortcuts that make sense to me, for photo mode and toggling my flashlight. This is amazing. I'm mouse aiming while not using a mouse at all. Based on the setup, this is actually better than when I was previously using m+kb on my laptop.

We never argued over it or anything, but there's less game to be had when it's always behind booting up the thing and fills up the room. This is exactly why I've bought the Deck too. The Switch is probably my favourite console of all time just down to the form factor. Me and my wife both work full time and have 4 kids, and we definitely don't share the exact same taste in entertainment, so competing for already limited down time just sucks for the both of us. The flexibility of the Switch just removes so much of that sense of compromise. Where the Deck probably has an advantage over the Switch for me is that I'm a first party kinda guy for Switch games, so my mileage with it depends on which Nintendo games I'm playing at that time. For long stretches of time this can be little or nothing. The Steam library is obviously a lot broader and is a persistent ecosystem I've been in for over a decade. Like you, I think that's going to give the concept even more relevance than the Switch already offers.

Update on my Bluetooth controller-lag issues: I followed this guide, changed a config file, and from my desk anyway, the lag issue appears to have been solved. I am flabbergasted. I love Linux. I'm still trapped in my home office for the moment, but when my daughter goes to sleep I'm gonna go upstairs and try the whole setup end-to-end on my TV and see if the whole problem is solved before I go doing anything crazy like order a third-party wireless controller dongle for 20 additional dollars. Wish me luck
