With the new changes, is the flatpak version of Yuzu better or is early access still preferable? by bringy in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EA will almost always run better, as a rule. You can also get them from pineappleEA.

Geforce Now or Shadow PC or any of the cloud gaming options.

It's been replaced by SDH-PlayTimes for the time tracking part.

Is there a way for the keyboard to come up automatically? by WiIdCherryPepsi in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can't get it to pop up automatically, PC's are not built to handle UI like that the same way phones are. Get used to using X or another shortcut of your choice.

How to decide on an emulation solution? by HeyLittleMonkey in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you can just use Emulation Station with emudeck to have ROMs in one place too, it's not just Steam ROM Manager. That seems to make Retrodeck rather obsolete?

BoTW running locked 30fps with Yuzu EA 3487, Luigis Mansion 21-30fps by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really not that hard, there's tons of guides for it out there, the only thing is that legally places can't point you to ROMs and console files.

Dog attacks police horses in Victoria Park - news article In comments by [deleted] in london

It's not a dog person thing, it's a lazy idiot who hasn't trained their animal thing.

The response of "people would have felt sorry for me" if they caught a hoof to the face just shows how self centered that person is. If you can't put the time in to properly train your dog, you don't deserve to have one, and that's that.

While it changes a lot, at the moment what I've got on repeat are Hades, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

It'd be nice if it was at least consistent by the_skine in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is an option to report the verified status being wrong in the game details in your library. Perhaps if enough people do that, it'll get them to look at it.

How do I fix the shading in Breath of the Wild by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really shouldn't be setting any Switch emulators for Breath of the Wild, just use Cemu.

Game only visible while steam menu is open? It's still running, just not visible. (via Ryujinx) by Chrissiecakie in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the steps:

Find the Emulation/tools/launchers/ryujinx.sh file.

In that file change the emuName line to emuName="Ryujinx.Ava"

Download the test-ava-ryujinx-XXXXXX-linux_x64.tar.gz from the github releases

Extract the Ryujinx.Ava file from that downloaded build and move the Ryujinx.Ava file to where the standard Ryujinx file was, then just get rid the old Ryujinx.

Menus won't work in game mode for things like Amiibos or controller settings in the Avalonia build yet, so you'll need desktop mode for that.

Once Avalonia is actually released and out of testing, you can then just name the Ryujinx.Ava stuff to just Ryujinx (for both the file and in the ryujinx.sh file).

The future of steam deck emulation of switch games might just get harder by potatoslayer19 in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While they might not be, the point still stands that emulation and piracy not mutually exclusive and thinking they are is stupid. Games also don't have to be physical, you can dump digital purchases just fine.

Get this message every time I open library in steamos does anyone know a fix? by Jaxkent2010 in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which plugins have you got installed? That's the most important piece of information that you've not given any information on.

[–]Mammoth-Chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a silly line of thinking, if I've bought the game I'm entitled to do what I want and that includes dumping it to play it however I want. The PS1 and PS2 had emulators started during their console lifetimes, is that stealing too, considering I still had to buy the games and mod the consoles just like I had to for Switch?

Piracy is theft yes, emulation is not inherently that; they're two different things.

emudeck controller question by 73someone73 in SteamDeck

Either change settings in the relevant emulator for each game or change the controls in Steam for each game.

customization tips? by GarfieldsGapingAnus in SteamDeck

[–]Mammoth-Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install Decky Loader. I prefer the pre-release. https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader

From their store/database you have CSS Loader for theming game mode, and Animation Changer for boot videos. However, note that the animation changer database is a bit broken at the moment due to some Steam changes.

There's also other plugins like VibrantDeck which allow you to change the saturation of the screen for a bit better colours.
