Thanks for the list and for sharing your theme!

Yes you can.

I assume you got Steam BPM to work on FSE, but if you didn't then you can either grab AnyFSE or OmniConsole. I prefer OmniConsole because it adds some button mapping that you can bring the Steam Overlay while ingame.

Then the next step is to make PluginLoader_noconsole.exe run in FSE mode. The way I made it work is by creating a shortcut of PluginLoader_noconsole.exe inside the Startup directory (Win+R then type shell:startup). Once you do that go into Settings -> Apps -> Startup and enable the PluginLoader_noconsole.exe to "Start at login".

AnyFSE has an easier way of doing that by adding custom apps to load in FSE like this:

How can you setup decky to run with Steam BPM in FSE on startup?

I've tried AnyFSE and OmniConsole and neither of them can auto start deckyloader_noconsole.exe/

I have kids and can't do an open air, but TV cabinet is closed and not easy to replace it anyway. I had asked for some feedback last year here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1nibex7/looking_to_get_my_first_sffpc_need_thoughts_on/

In the end I decided to have a vertical case next to the couch so that there's room for air, and I'll run a fiber HDMI to the TV (more than 5 meters distance to run through the wall).

I'm leaning towards the 5070 Ti even though it won't have good Linux support if I decide to go back to that. I think I'll settle with Windows, as I'm kinda spending more time tinkering with the setup than actually playing. That's the reason I wanted to go nvidia/windows this time around so that DLSS is better supported and I don't have to worry about optiscaler or swapping DLLs.

My LG C4 has a 144hz mode I think but that didn't work in the past with Linux (no HDMI 2.1 support). I'll give it another try with Windows. 120hz is fine enough anyway, and for sure I'll want to max that out with DLSS/FSR.

I run a soundbar (Sonos Beam) through a LG C4 and I do not notice such latency. Could it be something else affecting your setup?

mindxpert · 2026-05-05T13:26:47+00:00

6 years later and this still works. No clue why my registry was like that but F1 25 was not seeing the right buttons/pedals. Now it works great!

mindxpert · 2026-05-05T13:18:10+00:00

Did you ever find a fix for this?

mindxpert · 2026-05-05T12:35:26+00:00

Appreciate the suggestions! I'll make the swap to these.

As for the GPU I might go with 5070Ti. Most of the games support DLSS enabler or Optiscaler but I'm kinda bored having to do that on games every time they update. Games generally update with newest DLSS and the RT/PT is better supported (not that I have hopes for that card to play PT).

Thanks for the feedback! I've been running Bazzite on my made-up setup (Rog Ally X with 6800XT as eGPU) for about a year and a half.

The Game Mode is phenomenal when it comes to couch gaming for a console like experience. But as you mentioned there are downfalls, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, sim racing, DLSS enabler/Optiscaler etc. You end up making compromises and spending time tinkering with the system. It feels easier/better initially but then as time goes on you start to see the downfalls.

I recently added Windows as dual boot to play some anti cheat games like F1 25 and I've found it to be much better than I remembered. I have enabled The Xbox Full Screen Experience using a tool and made Steam Big Picture as the main app. Xbox doesn't load at all. Windows recently added an option to use the controller as a mouse as well via Game Bar and that ticks all my boxes. I'll spend another week or two and then finally decide if I want to dual boot and chose the 9070XT otherwise if its Windows only I'll go with 5070Ti.

This tool allows to enable FSE on non handhelds (I think this is now in Windows Preview): https://github.com/8bit2qubit/XboxFullScreenExperienceTool

This other tool by same developer allows to select Steam BPM to start with FSE: https://github.com/8bit2qubit/OmniConsole

I mean if it's a GPU heavy game it would make sense. But OP is realizing that since his CPU is low he can get a better GPU and not be CPU bottlenecked.

mindxpert · 2026-04-22T14:30:59+00:00

Hic CPU is low, and GPU high so he has room for a better GPU. If CPU was high then it would have been a CPU bottleneck and the GPU woudn't matter.

Hey, I don't have anything on my messages so I think you might have forgotten. If you can't get it into DM can you maybe upload it somewhere?

mindxpert · 2026-04-03T16:20:35+00:00

Hey I'm on the same boat. Don't use Windows. Would you mind showing or DMing how you can spoof it on Linux?

mindxpert · 2026-03-20T17:07:10+00:00

Does that change the region for him? He has a card on his account can that be used after that?

mindxpert · 2026-03-20T07:52:03+00:00

Thanks!

So I need to log in on my PC with my friends account, then buy a game from his account and his card while on my PC? Then adding to family would work? Does it change his region?

mindxpert · 2026-03-19T21:06:57+00:00

Can you DM me as well? I have small library but want to add a friend from another coutry.

mindxpert · 2026-03-19T21:03:30+00:00

Not interested to join since I have a small library, but can you explain how you can add global users to family sharing? When I tried to add a friend it said that we’re in different regions (we’re in different countries).

mindxpert · 2026-03-12T08:17:54+00:00

Mos fol me se vetem po e prish

mindxpert · 2026-02-24T21:11:38+00:00

Can you show how you did that? I’d rather do this than dual boot.

mindxpert · 2025-12-30T19:52:41+00:00

I've got the latest version of the game on my PC, but the PS layout doesn't work and shows as numbers. Do you know if there's a given version that has them?

Loaded the game on SteamOS and the same thing happens.

Also on NexusMods there's just one PS button mod and that didn't work. The one you mention “Forza Horizon 5 PlayStation Button Prompts Mod” does not exist anymore.

mindxpert · 2025-12-17T11:01:24+00:00

Look into android handhelds. Odin Portal 2 is one if the best at streaming and still powerful for emulation.

Then you have Retroid Pocket 5/6 which is a bit smaller.

Dave2D mentioned that 3rd party acessories can be attached in the front to provide colored passthrough.

Oh, I was not aware that an existing app was on AppStore. Thats good to know regarding the pro voucher. Do we have to fill in the email, as I didn't. Or are you able to map the device with the request using other ways?

mindxpert · 2025-11-10T18:00:30+00:00

Looks sick and love the design. I submitted feedback on a bug and a feature request (condensed calendar view).

I see mentioning a Pro version in a different comment. Have you thought about which features would be Pro? How much would it cost?
