njsykora posted:It's an Android phone using the new Snapdragon X3 processor they co-developed with Qualcomm bundled with their Kishi controller. A lot of companies seem to be trying to get devices out for Xbox Cloud streaming as it becomes more known, Logitech are doing one too that also runs Android. The problem is they're way more than any sane person should pay for a streaming device, Logitech's is $300 and has a super old Snapdragon CPU so it would suck even for emulation. If Android gaming was less of a joke it might make more sense but Genshin Impact on Android still doesn't have controller support (something it's had on iOS for over a year now). Well crucially it's not a phone. I think they're trying to tap THE PHONE MARKET which is huge but forget it's actually the phone part that makes the market so big.

Is Xbox Remote Play the same thing as the cloud game pass stuff, and if not can the deck run it on its own or do you need their controller?

It must mean same network Xbox console remote play similarly to how the ps5 does it. I’m sure the deck could do it.

Emudeck seems to always overwrite the Shader settings in the games I play. Like, I can get the shaders set within the core, save them (that took some learning) so that if I go out of Retroarch and into another game, they stick around. I do this to get rid of the drat bezels too. But - if I close Emudeck itself (Emulation station, I mean), everything gets reset. Removed are the nice CRT shaders, and returned are the godawful famicon bezels alongside each game. Any ideas?

I have another emudeck question I have a ridiculous number of roms. At some point I downloaded torrents of every NES game, every SNES game, and so on. Today, I put all the roms in the requisite directory for emudeck, I clicked "generate app list", and it generated like 3700 apps. I'm guessing if I just go forward with the standard procedure, my home screen will be flooded with thousands of shortcuts for literally every game for every system I've gotten roms for. Obviously I don't want that. I'm used to emulation station type apps giving you a shortcut to launch the app and then letting you pick the ROM out of a list. Is there a way to make that happen here, or should I just click "generate app list" every time I want to play a new rom and save only the one in question?

Again another "why I don't use EmuDeck" post: The emulators I use (Dolphin, PrimeHack, Mednaffe, etc.) show a list of ROMs when you open the emulator. Yeah you have to use the mouse/trackpad to select them, but using another GUI or adding them to Steam seems totally superfluous.

Then go back to the Quick Menu and set up all of your Shaders and save them, then find (I don't have it open right now) the "Overrides" menu on the Quick menu and save all 3 settings in there. That's been my go to for keeping the stupid bezels off and the shaders saved.

hannibal posted:Go into Steam Rom Manager (relaunch Emudeck, click Tools), shut off everything except Emulation Station. Emulation Station is the thing you're looking for. yeah this. tick the top "Parsers" option so it turns everything off, then turn on only emulationstation and/or emulators (if you intend on using the other emulators). doing it for a bunch of ROMs is a huge mistake because it will also generate "Friendly" names for them which are a. sometimes wrong and b. completely indistinguishable between versions ask me about ending up with 10+ copies of Link's Awakening DX in the list and having no way to differentiate them at all sigher posted:So when you've loaded up a game in RetroArch bring up the Quick Menu and go back until you get to RetroArch's main menu, then Settings/On-Screen Display/On-Screen Overlay and set it to off.

That's been my go to for keeping the stupid bezels off and the shaders saved. emudeck's new "custom" setup as a bunch of options for enabling/disabling bezels, aspect ratios, etc. and only leaves one icon on the desktop now (for itself) rather than several. once it's installed/updated, open it again and there should be a button at the bottom for options

Thanks to sigher and Zamujasa for the tips on shaders etc. I’m mostly happy with how it seems to be running after doing the new Emudeck install (2.0 or whatever).

Xemu is the worse of the 2 big Xbox emulators but it's the only one with a Linux version and technically has higher compatibility than CXBX Reloaded, though CXBX has way better performance on the games it does run.

Yeah 1 ran flawlessly on xemu but neither seem capable of running MA2 yet based on compatibility lists (didn't bother trying the other on windows it seemed doomed to the same loading loop) I wonder what it is about it specifically that bombs out? Apparently it fails on the shared Outrun disk too

This sounds unbelievably lame to say but after years of every all-in-one emulation box solution I've tried having bad input lag (meaning mostly the Nvidia Shield and a raspberry pi) I just loaded up Mario World on the Deck and it was such a pure experience I almost cried Ok not really but I thought "I almost cried" while doing it which is the same thing right Anyway I haven't tried the USB hub / Xbox controller setup yet, hopefully that doesn't ruin it

Mescal posted:-is there any movement on making multiple switch pro controllers work with the deck? This took me way too long to wrap my head around but it's actually pretty easy. Ignore the action layer stuff. Instead assign your deck button to the right mouse button. Then add a subcommand and assign it to the T key. Then customize each command by adding a fire end delay to RMB and a fire start delay to the T command. The action layer stuff I haven't messed with too much but it basically lets you do something like "Press the X button to toggle between control schemes". Ive only used action layers to let me toggle the left trackpad from an action wheel to a scroll wheel.

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?
