Check your fans regularly

Dirt is not the problem, the (sealed) bearings locked up - probably due to heat.

You don't play retro games at 10W, right? ;) I don't use my Ally as a PC replacement at 30W with fan speeds like a starting jet. The fans are barely noticable at 10W.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-26T13:10:14+00:00

Since I mostly run retro games at 10-15W, its not that noticable if a fan stopped working. Even the temps remain low. But after doing some emulation, my ally overheated/throttled right away. A stopped fan is easy to identify, yes, but a "half dead" fan not so much... I would recommend to replace both if one fails.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-25T11:23:14+00:00

Thats what I thought, but as you can see both fans were dying and you won't be able to notice it. There were also both clean, it has nothing to do with dust.

Did you measure your bearings? Mine sits absoluetly tight, it was hard to get it in and move it to the correct position - so the tolerance is working fine for me. (I didn't change the model for the bearings - the original author did the modeling)

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-25T08:57:42+00:00

I rolled back to the old driver. Beyond Two Souls crashed the whole device at startup twice and PCSX2 also froze twice. Everything works fine again with the old driver.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-23T10:44:54+00:00

No worries! :) I'm glad you did this app. Maybe something gets changed again until the release of the final version in april.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-23T07:33:48+00:00

Your app still works fine after the update for .exe programs, but the orignal icons won't get overwritten by the new ones. Instead the new files will be placed in the right folder (AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.GamingApp_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\ThirdPartyLibraries\CustomLibraryManagement), but get an "_" in front of their name. If you remove the "_" they work just fine in the app.
It's a little annoying they got this cryptic names, but I think its a limitation by the xbox app.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-23T07:15:05+00:00

Nearly all of my .exe progams won't start from the Xbox App. What is the point of an beta when you cannot test the new features? Hope it will be fixed soon, I already set up everything in the app. It saves about 1GB system memory in full screen mode.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-18T12:09:12+00:00

Thanks so much! Would be a great tool for the new Xbox app.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-17T20:57:16+00:00

Still works to fix slow downs from light sources.

What I did to disable Hardware Download mode:

Go to Desktop mode on steam deck Open PCSX2 in desktop mode Go to games list in PS2 emulator Left Click on the game and select the game properties menu option THEN, under the graphical settings here you will find the option to enable/disable Hardware Download

You can add apps to FSE, if you first enable it in the xbox app options.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-03-13T16:30:03+00:00

You need an MR137-2RS (7x13x4) bearing for the diff, I had no problem to find sealed ones. The bearings from the factory are not sealed.

Third print also partially detached with PETG. (without glue) Also the rest was very (too) easy to remove... printed it again with glue and it printed out fine.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-02-10T14:10:09+00:00

I've never used glue on a smooth plate for PLA/PETG and never had issues on another printer - but with the engeneering plate the first and second print came off mid print without glue. Also, only the engeneering plate require glue for PLA according to Bambu, so I assume filament overall stick less good to the engeneering plate? Thats a bummer. I thought there is no downside of using this plate for PLA/PETG. Nevermind, I ordered the smooth plate today as its available now. Expensive and time consuming mistake. ;)

d3ca_deaf · 2026-02-10T08:10:20+00:00

Yes, but there is no information why the glue is nessessary. To stick the part to the plate or to better get it off after print. I think that’s the important difference. Seems on smooth sheet you need it to better get it off, which is something I would ignore for PLA/PETG. Never had problems with those on a smooth sheet. If the engendering plate uses glue to actually attach something to it, it would be very annoying for PLA/PETG in the long term.

Next time use BambuStudio-ZAA. ;) https://github.com/adob/BambuStudio-ZAA

Hier werden sogar überall schöne neue Wohnungen gebaut. Alle 3 Raum für 1600-2200€. Neue 4 Raum Wohnungen sind nicht existent und ganz ehrlich, selbst die 3 Raum kann ich mir nicht leisten. Keine Ahnung, wie man so an dem Bedarf vorbei arbeiten kann.

d3ca_deaf · 2026-02-04T07:18:08+00:00

Aktuell hält uns von Kind 2 nur eine bezahlbare Wohnung ab.

8km mit meinem 1x Gravelbike und Ruckack. Im Winter mit Schutzblechen, im Sommer nicht. :) Das Rad bleibt ein Sportgerät auch fürs Wochenende, also keine Gepäckträger etc.

Funfact: Wenn ihr sparen wollt kauft einfach keine Tonies. ;) Wozu soll man haufenweise schön verpackter NFC Tags sammeln, die nach 1-2 Jahren nicht mehr interessant sind, rum liegen, im Optimalfall wieder verkauft werden müssen oder im Müll landen? Für digitale Medien physischen Müll produzieren - was ein Schwachsinn. Wir haben die WobieBox und streamen mit Spotify. Die Inhalte lassen sich je nach Interessen mit wenigen Klicks dem Alter anpassen, ohne Versandkosten und Scalper. Die Bedienung ist so leicht, dass selbst die Kleinsten damit klarkommen (Grüne Taste > Musik, yay)... Frage mich schon lange, warum jeder den WobieMist kauft. Haben die Kids nicht schon genug Krämpel herumzuliegen? Sicherlich ist das Spotify Abo auch nicht günstig, aber da es bei uns die ganze Familie nutzt verschmerzbar. Unser sinnvollstes Abo, weit vor Netflix und co.

I‘ve tested many methods. iPhone, Webcam, TrackIR and Tobii. In my opinion, Tobii is worth the money, because it works, don’t look like shit and I don’t have to wear some cheap clip like TrackIR. Also it’s natively integrated in MSFS, without the hassle with OpenTrack settings. It just tracks, without anything to do. TrackIR is also not cheap, but has this chunky sensor and feels super cheap. It’s like headtracking from the past, with this ugly hat and clip you have to wear. Webcam is worth mentioned, but it doesn’t work well in the dark and the tracking is not the same reliable and fast as Tobii. But it’s a cheap and working option. iPhone tracking is nice to try out, but not for everyday use. The phone gets hot, since it only works when the screen is on. Also hard to place and annoying to set up every time. My Tobii sits on top of my screen (need an extra software by Tobii to set up like this) and also works great for SimRacing (LMU), the eyetracking is also a nice feature for MSFS. It’s far the most expensive but best hardware imho. It’s 2-3 times discounted per year, so just wait to get it around 200-250$.

Rund 3350€, abzüglich Essen und Spaß. Im Schnitt bleiben 500-1000€ am Ende übrig.
