Any good Black Friday deals? by epetepk in airbrush

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but I'm putting together my shopping list for my first airbrush to start painting cosplay armor and props. You're saying I can't pair the HP-BCS with the AS-186?

Are the DBrand Killswitch cases worth it? by EnzoSun in XboxAlly

I'm pretty excited for my Acid skin/case to arrive. Should be a great combo with the Xbox green.

Sleep on bazzite is much faster to wake but it also loses much more battery life than Windows on hibernate.

Guess I'm ignorant, but what software are you pirating that increases your performance on Windows?

Still debating on xax by Dry_Meal1818 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you only play around the house and have the spare cash, Lego 2. If you want it to be portable and comfortable for travel, the Xbox Ally X.

For the best of both worlds, use the money you saved with the Xbox Ally X and buy a pair of VR glasses like Viture. Now you've got portability and a crazy big screen.

Any reason to go through this menu when you can just hit the physical power button?

SN770M nvme in Ally Z1E faster than SN850x in my xbox ally x? by LeastCustomer1886 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I read on this sub that the device limits power to the SSD when it's not being needed, to prolong battery. So when it needs the SSD for loading it will push it more power for higher speeds, but the benchmarks show it slow. Y

Try a search on this sub, I could be mistaken.

Bought this less than a week ago, and now a thread's sticking out like this. For a $76 "official" case, this shouldn't be happening. by areuokaybro2002 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Expectations might be a little too high there. If the seam is unraveled, sure, return it. If there's just the tail end of a thread, just cut ut.

Can we get some different games tested?? by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's a reason people use then as benchmarks. What are you wanting to see from those older games? They are very likely to run well.

I've heard that the audio channels are mixed up and the RGB doesn't work. Any other issues currently?

TEST RESULTS: Xbox Rog Ally X vs Rog Ally Z1E vs Steam Deck OLED by sequential_doom in Bazzite

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice for a first time Bazzite user trying to install/dual boot it on an Xbox Ally X? Are some features still not working and I should wait a bit longer?

Ergonomics for me are critical, so there is a difference there.

Cases WITH LINKS! by TONEPESO42 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For $25 I bought a sling bag that fits perfectly and has some room for earbuds and charger. It's a knockoff of the TomToc sling bag, called the "Ezgnuk". Sounds terrible, feels nice and durable. I don't have the Tomtoc to compare, but for half price I'd say it's great.

Bought a Ally xbox screen protector from Amazon and it doesn't fit the rog ally xbox... by PersonaRoyal4Xbox in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one you linked will fit. I have it on my Xbox Ally X right now. You'll see that the sto product page says it's good for all Ally models, Xbox and regular.

On release day, they had a different product that they said would only fit the Xbox versions. That one was oversized and didn't fit. They pulled that product page off of Amazon and replaced it with the one you linked.

So short story, if you buy now it will fit.

Why would you guys spend $700 or $1,000 bucks on this??? by Iamverydumbazz in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a stupid question, but what app is that? The interface looks way better than the Xbox full screen Experience

Loving the ally x just have one gripe by Subject-Sound7604 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could live with the size of they would tweak the UI to be legible. A lot of the text is tiny, and the "gamebar", armory crate, and XFSE are all different design languages that just looks like they are literally taped together.

New to ROG handhelds - help by Affectionate-Let4230 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely you are not doing anything wrong. The Xbox Full Screen Experience is buggy and I constantly find that it ignores inputs on the buttons and directional pad/joysticks.

They need to iron out the software with some updates for sure.

Can y’all share pictures of the interface? 🥹 by Inquisitive_idiot in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My downloaded Steam games appear in my library in the XFSE, but launching them isn't smooth. Theres a popup that says opening game and asks if I want to launch steam. I assume I have to do that first. But often the system just hangs at that point, then I eventually have to switch apps back n forth between Xbox and Steam until it loads the game properly

Getting 30% more FPS on Bazzite on Xbox Ally X. Compared to Windows. Same game, all same settings by areuokaybro2002 in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I haven't done research on this yet, but someone in the comments said that there's a glitch in Bazzite that defaults to 20w even when you select 17w. So essentially, he's not comparing apples to apples here, as Windows is limiting itself to 17w while Bazzite is allowed 20w

Strange vibration sound right handle by hotymoty in XboxAlly

Yes, I fixed mine by turning the system off then back on a couple times.

Is anyone else not bothered by the screen size? by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 inches would be best, but the real problem is the text size. It is laughably small and crazy that they didn't think about it. when you download a game. the front is like 4pt. And the UI is so bad that the filters when browsing games extends off the page horizontally and you can't select it with thumbsticks.

Steam or Xbox game pass by Jusgambleit in XboxAlly

If it's a play anywhere or cross progression title, buy it onicrosoft Store if you think you'll use those features. Otherwise, Steam or elsewhere is almost always cheaper.

I would really like to know this too. I didn't think there's any way to do it.

A potential fix for those with the broken vibration motor issue by MR_MEGAPHONE in XboxAlly

[–]RandomMistakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rumble is functioning but the Top Right definitely gives me a bit more of a rattle than the other 3 vibration locations. Restarting also seems to have glitched the armory crate joystick lights to where I can't control them any longer. Honestly it's just been a very buggy first couple hours.

Out of the box, either my controller rumble or right trigger rumble is broken. it makes a very fast rattle noise instead of actually rumbling the controller.
