parasyte posted:It's probably not going to be as simple as you think, unless you have a linux box lying around. The SD card gets formatted to ext4 by SteamOS, so you'll need something that can read that partition; you can do this with WSL2 and some command line tricks, but I haven't done that myself so I don't know if it's as simple as wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEn and bob's your uncle. A new SD card will also need to be formatted with ext4, probably easiest to do just inserting it into the Deck and having that format it. Why can't I just put the new SD card in the Deck, format it with the Deck, plug the old SD card into a reader and plug that into the Deck's USB-C slot, and copy the files over?

Omg I just saw on Reddit that the left trackpad is a circular scroll like an old iPod! I had no idea and just kind of gave up using it and dragged the scrollbar like a nerd!

Annath posted:Welp. These are things you can definitely copy over without issue. I don't think it matters that much unless you start messing with OS level stuff. I think you are overcomplicating things. I would just use the steam interface to move all the installs you care about to the SD.. copy your roms and poo poo over manually ... pull the hard drive and install the new one.. reimage the new drive using the steam OS recovery image.. log into steam and update everything and you should be good to go. You will have to reinstall emudeck but if you point it to the correct install where your stuff is it will figure it out and should use your config files and whatnot.

You can buy a usb c enclosure for like $10 so I don't see much reason to waste time doing anything but dd copy old drive to new drive. I'm not a linux guy at all but it's one line  It copied all my mods, emulators, non-steam games like battle.net stuff, etc all perfectly and the new space was available

They need to tell you that somewhere because there is zero chance I ever would have guessed that.

It defaults to circular, but it doesn't have to be! You can tell it to be a horizontal or vertical swipe, too. It's one of the extra settings on a Scroll Wheel mapping type - I'll take a look at my Deck when I get home. The circular scrolling on the Steam Controller was my favorite binding on it, it made playing map games like Crusader Kings and the like real easy. If you can get used to it, I really suggest sticking with it - it means you can continuously scroll instead of having to pick up your thumb.

In the meantime, I'll try to overcome my choice paralysis and play something from start to finish. Currently debating between Atelier Ryza 1, LIVE A LIVE, and (emulated) Xenosaga 1.

Hey gang, just snagged my deck today and have been feeling elated, buuut the last half hour I've been trying to stream from my pc to my deck. I feel like I must be missing something; every guide and video.. shows it as a lot more seamless than the time I'm having. I navigate to the game (on my steam deck) that I am wanting to play on said steam deck, I click the arrow next to install, then select the name of my PC that appears. I click stream, a backdrop of the game I'm wanting to play appears.. acts like it's loading.. then the game loads fine on my PC then just on the steam deck simply just backs out to the game's page, but the button says "connect" this time, clicking it... shows a backdrop of the game again, acts like it's loading game again....then nada, repeat. :\ Am I just misinterpreting what remote play/streaming is? I'm just wanting to play a game on my steamdeck, a game that I already have installed on my pc, but not currently installed on the deck.

Another option is to try Moonlight (on the Deck) and Sunshine (on the PC). I've heard those are more consistent and lightweight than the Steam game streaming, but with the drawback of not being able to use Steam Input. I haven't tried it myself, I should honestly get around to trying it out someday.

I've heard those are more consistent and lightweight than the Steam game streaming, but with the drawback of not being able to use Steam Input. I haven't tried it myself, I should honestly get around to trying it out someday. Steam input is possible via Moonlight actually! Moonlight can be invoked via command line to launch a specific game from a specific server PC, so all you have to do is just write a one-liner script and add that as a non-steam game, and then you can configure input settings for that game. Even better, if you name the non-Steam game the same as its real Steam counterpart, you can get all the community controller configs available too since as far as I can tell it pulls configs based on on matching games by name. Moonlight + Sunshine/GFE is the only way I've played non-competitive games for the past few years, input and display latency is far far better than any other alternative including Steam streaming (my latency is sub 10ms most of the time). Best part is it's platform agnostic, often times I'll fire up a stream session on my Android TV, then head to bed and pull out the deck and resume the exact same stream from there.

Thanks to the poster who talked about the circular scroll wheel. I had no idea how it worked and just thought scrolling was glitchy but now that I know how it works it’s so much better.

I wanna copy some games to my PC from my Steam Deck and for some reason it just doesn’t want to. I followed the instructions, got Steam on my PC and deck to accept game transfers over the local network. I have both my PC and Deck on and connected. I just don’t see how to get it to pull from the source.

If you have remote access set on your pc, using Microsoft Remote Desktop MAY also wake up the pc when you try to connect. It depends on your NIC and drivers and it’s a long shot but if you’ve got that setup, might as well give it a go?

If I get bored I’ll try to find a flatpak of an RDP client, though, just in case.

Quantum of Phallus posted:they NEED to do a new steam controller which is just the deck without the screen. its free money I think a killer product would be the SD with no screen and you just use something like the xreal airs. Can likely get a form factor closer to a normal controller.

Doesn't have to be exclusive, but it'd be a perfect form factor and probably cost considerably less. I really really like not looking at my SD screen anymore but using the airs. I think this use case legs.

It'd only cost less if you omit the price of the external display. Now instead of convincing somebody to buy one product that's ready to go out of the box, you have to convince them to spend even more money buying two products, the second of which is undefined and requires work by the purchaser to decide upon. You gadget hounds have truly bonkers opinions.
