Zarlog posted:How are parental controls for Steam Deck? I haven't had much success finding info about it, which leads me to think there probably isn't much beyond Family View. You'll have to password protect the desktop mode and share games via family view. E: but really you should just block internet access from your router and open up game ports as needed.

I’m oddly invested in how to solve this now. I wonder how to get around “reboot into rescue mode” or similar.

Steam Deck does have parental controls. IIRC, I had to create an account for my kid, and then you can set it as a child account under MY account. Now, when he is signed in, it disables most of the menu options (like desktop mode, etc.) and I can disable his "family view" if I put in the pin. It also filters out all of the games unless I specifically set a game as a "family game". So he doesn't even see my shameful collection of paradox game DLC, etc. It was kind of a pain to set up, from what I recall, but once it's set up it's fairly needs-suiting.

Is this 9yo that enterprising? I think the basic lockdown is enough, in addition to expectations, conversations, observations, and trust. I'm not telling you how to raise your children, but any amount of barriers can be overcome by someone sufficiently determined and precocious. I know I got around every barrier in my way as an unsupervised youth.

How well does the Deck do as a Moonlight client while docked to a TV? I've been considering buying a Deck for this over a mini PC due to the added prospects of portability and playing some simpler games natively. The old laptop I'm currently using only has H264 decoding and struggles to maintain a constant 1080p/60FPS with 4K being out of the question. I'd assume the Deck is more than capable of that but just wanted to confirm before pulling the trigger.

man I’m trying to get all the Nonary stuff setup so that I Sunshine-stream from the fake 3rd display and have it set the resolution the right way and so forth but it keeps dropping the moonlight connection before the game comes up I think I’ll try just using nircmd to switch the primary to the fake display and let MoonDeckBuddy set the resolution and HDR-ness on it, see if that works better I really want there to be an emudeck-like wrapper package that creates a fake display, configures all the resolution switching and HDR toggling and primary setting, wires it into Sunshine, and is perfect. But I do not want to be the one who writes it!

Moonlight really depends on your internet provider. I got that T-Mobile internet thing. Fine enough for streaming at home but it doesn’t support port forwarding so I can’t use it outside of my home network.

I'm not really worried about him getting access to things. Frankly making things seem taboo usually makes kids want it more. I'd rather just monitor his use.

I'm glad hentai games weren't really a thing when I was a kid, or I was too naive to know about them. There were always shooters and gory games but there definitely more adult focused games now that I don't look forward to having to navigate with the kids.

I got the marvel capcom arcade games working finally! Here's how I did it just in case anyone has any issues with this specific issue. I put my files in the arcade folder of emu deck then I changed the emulator to mame 2010 This worked for all of them except xmen children of the atom and I got that to work by just going down the list of alternate emulators until one worked. This is everything I've ever wanted in an emulator. It's basically THE game station at this point. If they ever get gog working on this thing oh hell yeah

Shard posted:I got the marvel capcom arcade games working finally! Here's how I did it just in case anyone has any issues with this specific issue. Why are you using Mame 2010??? There's no reason to use anything but current MAME aside from the dubious use case of Raspberry Pi's and other microcomputers. Or I guess if you don't like fiddling with the emulator directly, but if you're really getting into Emulation I recommend it. For Marvel vs. Capcom 1+2 I actually recommend emulating the Dreamcast version for more options

I ran into a weird issue just now. I started a download of Phantasy Star Online 2 and it was reserving space. Now, PSO2 is 124GB, so that was taking a while. I paused the process because I was heading to my parents' house for dinner, and when I got there I resumed the download. Only, it gave an "out of space" error, saying there was only 22GB available. I looked in Settings, under Storage, and PSO2 wasn't even listed. Verifying the files verified part of them, land it tried to download the rest, but it gave the out of storage error again. Since Steam didn't see the game as installed, there was no option to uninstall it. I ended up having to boot into desktop mode, and desktop Steam had the option to uninstall. Super weird, but if anyone else runs into a similar issue that's how I solved it.

There's a way to tell which games do it, when you go to install them the folder name it offers tells you, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll check when I get home.

There's a setting to delay this so launchers don't trip it but some games just don't play nice with application shortcuts.
