I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;

I am trying to get Tyrian 2000 to work properly on my Steam Deck, via installing it from my gog library on Heroic. While it managed to install correctly I have a few issues that need to be resolved before I can continue;

The controller support is non-existent. I am unsure if that is fixable, though I suspect I might be able to get around it by remapping the Steam Deck controls. Not really a problem though if anybody knows a solution I'd be happy to hear it.

The real issue is that the music is not playing. Sound effects work just fine, so far, but I don't get any music. I suspect it has something to do with Dosbox, given the age of the game in question.

I’m trying to put a vinyl skin on my Steam Deck, and I’m having trouble; it keeps wrinkling up at the bottoms of the grips. Any suggestions?

Whether you are into casual, retro or AAA #gaming, KDE has something for you 🎮🎲!

After too much time spent on google I finally found this lightweight GUI + CLI tool that finds locally installed games (yes including non-steam games running under proton) and thought I'd spread the gospel!

Combeined with something like dropbox/onedrive/nextcloud, or rsync/borg/syncthing etc you've got yourself cloud backups too.

Zero configuration involved so far on my Steam Deck which is nice as well.

Forgive me if it's old news ☺️

A few more points from the (referenced) CNBC video: https://twitter.com/StreetSignsCNBC/status/1704971310361629080

• Would like work with other hardware manufacturers to adopt SteamOS
• Happy to see other manufacturers participating, making different decisions
• Right now no Steam Deck VR headset, but explore more in the future
• Keep working on the current SteamOS, version 3.5, hardware side focusing on the supply chain
• Current iteration is a stable performance target, sweet spot for the new releases

Title, and thanks.

Review is quite long (45 min). A highlight:

• Games tested with frame timing: Steam Deck has very consistent frame timing, ROG Ally is only competitive plugged in, otherwise on battery (and the same 1280×720) the low 1% and low 0.1% are far worse than Steam Deck in several tested games, and more akin to AYANEO.

Other things:

• Crazy $2000 for ASUS RTX “4090” eGPU with proprietary connector vs. GPD’s standardized OCuLink
• ASUS with pushy BIOS updates and questionable benefits, sometimes even performance regressions
• Windows 11 touch keyboard appears automatically in text fields, and more comfortable than the Steam desktop mode on-screen keyboard
• Steam Deck with 60 fps V-Sync cap sounds more closely like ROG Ally on “Silent”, without annoying high frequency noise. But once uncapped, sounds like ROG Ally on “Turbo” and with high frequency noise.
• The reviewed ROG Ally also developed a malfunctioning SD card reader, like many reports.
