jokes posted:I mean, how much better performance loving with VRAM and the swapfile stuff can you get on SteamOS? Varies from game to game. On some I can up from med to high settings with higher frame rates. Other games it just helps with a consistent frame rate.

pseudorandom name posted:A half hour isn't short, especially when it should be a couple paragraphs of text that you can read in five minutes. Honestly, follow his instructions to install it, click on "Recommended settings", do the BIOS thing for the vram, and then, if you want, watch his explanation. Unlike other installers, most of the recommended settings are just a binary choice, where the stock deck option is "this thing is off/doing it inefficiently" and the Cryo option is "turn this thing on/make it run efficiently". I know with some installers, I don't go the recommended route because I want to customize everything, but for this, the recc'd settings really are the best ones for the deck.

So, I got Mario 64 Plus working on my Deck (which owns) but I'm annoyed that Decky Loader still isn't working for me. I ran the install again (via Curl) and this time I paid attention to what it was actually doing. I did a reboot, have verified that plugin_loader.service is still located in /etc/systemd/system/ where it's supposed to be, and yet the menu still doesn't have a Plugins section. I've got Notifications, Friends, Quick Settings, Performance, and Help, same as before. Why isn't my Deck actually showing me the plugin loader I installed? The only thing I can think of is that I didn't actually install any plugins, just ran the Decky install. Should that matter?

Been doing a bunch of docked play and I think setting the output resolution to 1080p, running the game at 720p+FSR and then letting my TV's upscaling figure out the rest has given some pretty decent results. It helps that 30fps is less jarring on a TV than it is on the Deck's screen.

Basically you just compile it on your PC as normal (easy), copy the install directory to your Deck, add it as a non-Steam game, tell it to use Proton 7, open the launcher, and use that to tell it to use OpenGL instead of DX11.

VibrantDeck is great. The screen is the worst part of the Deck imo and bringing a little color to it helps a lot even if it impacts accuracy.

Already have Gamecube Sunshine working on my PC and will get it onto my Deck when I have the opportunity, and I didn't know Mario 64 Plus was a thing but I'm into it. Thanks

That seems like a major oversight. If anyone would be into getting a game running into lower-end hardware it would be Minter.

At the moment it's outright unplayable as the play surface renders as a flat white space. Tried a few Proton versions and it's the same issue. It actually took me about five minutes of trying to figure out what was going on and thinking I was just misunderstanding things before I checked some footage on YouTube.

This poo poo loving sucks. Nothing works, Bluetooth headphones won’t connect. One of my controllers will endlessly disconnect/reconnect wirelessly. One does connect but drops out frequent. I thought this was going to be a more refined experience not a bullshit portal Linux machine for tinkerering around in menus and trying to get things working

Just hazarding a guess because of the port Decky is using but I think it would require all the plugins to expect Decky to be on that port as well.

Yeah, that would probably be a lot more complex because of all the other software expecting a certain configuration. There could also be any number of issues preventing Decky from working properly, but a good way to tell if something's using the port is by running lsof -i :8080 in terminal. If you're using a preview build of the OS (or whatever the non-stable one is called) I've heard that can mess with it sometimes too.

99% of the time, if someone is complaining about a device's implementation of Bluetooth, my eyes glaze over because I have never found Bluetooth to be particularly intuitive/reliable outside of a few devices' implementations. Devices I've found that have good/reliable bluetooth functionality: -Microsoft Surface products -Apple devices, particularly communicating with other Apple devices -Logitech M+KBs, strangely Every single other bluetooth adapter, connection, or device loving sucks. The Deck's is "fine", I guess.

If you're using the Deck docked, it's either BT, or you snake a wire across your living room. I guess you could get one of them wi-fi dongles, but those aren't common

It sucks to hear but long-rear end cables are the easiest solution to most Bluetooth issues. Wiimotes are 2006-era Bluetooth and those work really well, all things considering.

Heran Bago posted:Wiimotes are 2006-era Bluetooth and those work really well, all things considering. The only time Bluetooth ever works consistently, ever, is when it’s between items that were specifically and deliberately designed to be used together. And even then it can be spotty. I mean literally “this exact piece of equipment was specifically and painstakingly designed to connect to this exact other piece of equipment” and that’s it, as soon as you’re trying to do anything more exotic than that it’s an absolute coin toss at best and a minefield at worst.
