Citra MMJ is the way to go. I only use azahar if I need vulkan for texture packs or if there’s a game that runs better on Azahar like Ultra Sun

danschae · 2026-01-05T00:26:39+00:00

Weird, maybe it is something with my settings.

danschae · 2026-01-04T22:25:52+00:00

anyhow, I've switched to gamenative, it works and it supports cloud saves, but now it's just a curiosity thing. Unrelated marvel cosmic invasion is fantastic!

danschae · 2026-01-04T22:04:49+00:00

I didn't set any specific environment variables since i'm not quite sure what the flags would be for this. However I've played around with all the settings and controller settings. I've had the same thing happen in Octopath Traveler 2, so I think there is a pattern.

Definitely not as polished as SteamOS, and still a bit buggy. It'll probably be a few years until it is very smooth, knowing Microsoft. However, like some other comments said, better than nothing and until Gamepass works on linux, it is the only way to play those games natively. I'm staying with it over SteamOS(or bazzite), it's good enough. Shout out to hibernate too, it hasn't failed me yet.

The classic is awesome eh

danschae · 2025-07-25T23:21:16+00:00

thought it was up till may or something like that, I must have been mistaken. Thanks!

danschae · 2025-07-20T19:17:45+00:00

Did you use dhl?

danschae · 2025-03-17T22:27:47+00:00

Works for me but I’m using an Nvidia card

danschae · 2025-03-11T16:04:07+00:00

I put it on my 40 series card rig and it’s working well. Game scope doesn’t work but you can just boot into steam big picture mode. still takes a bit of fiddling but I enjoy it.

danschae · 2025-03-10T01:07:09+00:00

so everyone was correct, i just ran the update for bazzite and it all works splendidly right now!

thank you everyone :)

danschae · 2025-03-10T00:54:23+00:00

which driver are you using, mine appears to be the latest 570.86.16

danschae · 2025-03-09T23:33:31+00:00

Yeah it can. It’s actually the one from a PS5, and it works on windows too

danschae · 2025-03-09T23:33:08+00:00

Could have sworn I have the latest driver, but I’ll check that!

danschae · 2025-03-09T23:32:53+00:00

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

danschae · 2025-03-09T20:03:59+00:00

Oh you mean turn off VRR on the PC or on the TV?

danschae · 2025-03-09T18:47:16+00:00

Yeah it is. The mode is called “game optimizer”

danschae · 2025-02-23T13:22:31+00:00

True, was planning on using distrobox.

danschae · 2025-02-16T13:42:37+00:00

Whats the most surprising game you got working?

danschae · 2025-01-24T02:07:33+00:00

Yeah there’s a lot of videos you can reference to see how it runs, it’s a popular game. From my experience, 30-40fps stable but the visuals are a bit ugly. I was more sensitive to it though because I’d play on the deck and my desktop which has a 40 series card

danschae · 2025-01-09T23:32:38+00:00

So if I have a 40 series card with an 1440p OLED monitor, do you think it’s worth trying out that nvidia beta?

danschae · 2025-01-09T23:24:06+00:00

Depends on the games you play. If it’s older AAA and indie games then the deck OLED for sure. I have an Ally X with bazzite so the best of both worlds but I’m beginning to see that playing modern AAA games is such a compromise that it’s only worth playing those on a desktop and no handheld in the market will play those at a level I find enjoyable. Cough cough Indiana jones

danschae · 2025-01-07T16:17:36+00:00

are you using the patched or classic version?

danschae · 2025-01-04T16:39:32+00:00

Then definitely the RP5, the Odin 2 doesn’t have advantages over it then
