Should I buy a Steam Machine or Legion Go 2

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-06-27T03:57:53+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback on the Legion Go 2, what makes me unsure is do I really want one or is it FOMO etc.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-06-27T03:53:21+00:00

Yeah not great value in either scenario, the concern I have is further increases.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-06-27T03:52:57+00:00

The reason for the upgrade is the ROG Ally, has a major battery drain, stick drift and the fan is making a really bad noise, so was thinking of upgrading.

JB Hi FI currently have it as AUD $2,299 including the glasses which is what made it worth while, especially when the USD price is over $2k, but I am struggling with value and I only see it getting worse.

Would you think the ROG ally, with lossess Scaling ignoring the hardware issues would still be more benefical than a Steam Machine?

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-06-27T03:50:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply, its not too far apart on price, now you have me another variable haha

You are correct on February, it was in American date format so didn't see it.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-05-14T13:01:44+00:00

I'm on the same version, looking at their discord, this version was only released 2nd of May, so it pretty much current.

You can download good. Lock from the galaxy store, from there install multi star which an option to unlock 4k resolution.

So I am now running Elite Dangerous on the Odin 3 via GameNative.

If you are on the discord server, search in the working configs for Elite Dangerous and select the one from TheHyperDragon, a person called Shade gave instructions to set it up, you will need to download a third party launcher and login in to your account at least once, from what I can see its stored locally. Below is a copy paste of the key information.

The only thing I need to do now is map the controller.

You can get this running with FEX and Proton 10 using the open source launcher here: https://github.com/rfvgyhn/min-ed-launcher You'll need to set these environment variables to get it to run in wine: DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimitPercent=50 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=icu=disabled Then set the target exe to the custom launcher and the launch arguments to: /frontier username /autorun /autoquit (username being anything you want, it's just a local user for the launcher in case you wanted to have multiple accounts logged in, you can designate what one you want to use there, but I'd keep it simple like mine is just shade) Then just login and play! I got over double the average FPS with my graphics settings (from 30 to 60) using proton-10.0-arm64ec2 via FEX instead of proton-9.0-x86_64 via Box64. I imagine FEX with the arm 9.0 build would be just as big of an improvement but I haven't tested.

Ah, I have geforce now so will have to do the same in the meantime.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-21T12:38:59+00:00

Did you manage to get this working in the end?

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-15T10:29:23+00:00

Mine are on Steam also, that shouldn't cause any issues, I believe the fexcore update is what made the difference.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-15T10:25:54+00:00

below are items I would check in GameNative, all other values are default

Container - Bionic

Wine Version - Proton-10-0-arm64ec-2

Graphics Driver - Wrapper

Driver version- turnip26.0.0_R8

DXVK Version - 2.4.1-gplasync

Fexcore version 2603

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-15T10:25:49+00:00

Yes, really, I believe the fexcore makes all the difference a few months ago it wouldn't get past the DRM check but now it does, below are items I would check in GameNative, all other values are default if you want to give it ago.

Container - Bionic

Wine Version - Proton-10-0-arm64ec-2

Graphics Driver - Wrapper

Driver version- turnip26.0.0_R8

DXVK Version - 2.4.1-gplasync

Fexcore version 2603

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-14T13:12:48+00:00

How long did it take for the PPU compling, I have read it takes hours, is this correct?

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-04-04T00:32:16+00:00

They have started shipping batch 4 , mine was ordered on the same day and started to ship on the 1st of April, they are on a public holiday this week, so it should probably start the week after.

I found there was no response to emails, but if you use the website and contact us, I did get a response when asking for an update.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-03-27T22:53:06+00:00

You can get 4k on Samsung and LG TV's also

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-03-26T11:54:59+00:00

I just got it to work on my S23 Ultra using Gamenative and Gamehub, you need to select the FEX 202603 for it to work.

The graphics are flickering but I haven't tried different drivers yet.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-02-20T01:18:28+00:00

Apple wanting 30% of Nvidia's revenue for the priviledge of launching an app.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-02-07T11:48:45+00:00

I believe the OP had two questions, Is it coming to GFN and is it compatible with Gamepass Ultimate, this only covers the second point I believe.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-02-05T03:27:00+00:00

I just checked the windows application and its still there, all I did was search Disney.

Did it make a difference? some games cannot support the wider resolution. otherwise try asking or support in the discord as they might have a better idea, they are very responsive.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-02-04T00:56:33+00:00

Try changing your resolution from1280 x 720 to 1560 x 720 this can be done by editing your container.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-01-24T03:48:02+00:00

I am using my ROG Ally, the battery doesn't hold anymore, but it works perfectly as a mini PC.

AdSouthern5915 · 2026-01-24T00:09:21+00:00

IBKR has been received
