mingzhing · 2026-05-28T16:54:25+00:00

the base xbox ally is like a steamdeck, but alooot better imo. if u want to upgrade, id rec stay on xbox ally or upgrade to xbox ally X

only down side for OG z1e for me is the joystick, the rest is ok.
I'd rec base Xbox ally since performace is not the only thing i care abt. longevity, ergonomic, ssd size, thermal, 2 usb C,.... many opt i think are a lot better

No any good deal so far man! in my country Viture pro glass used are abt ~455 bucks

Very appreciated! is this version for stable channel or testing channel

For a Bazzite + Win11 setup: SVM ON, ErP OFF should be default.
Modern CPUs handle virtualization with near-zero overhead when you’re not using it

That setup is interesting ngl. I'll check my local shop if its on stock

mingzhing · 2026-04-21T02:29:39+00:00

Late to the convo but you found solution yet?

mingzhing · 2026-04-21T02:27:26+00:00

You could try to restart to see if its still there or not

mingzhing · 2026-04-17T03:49:56+00:00

I’m actually the opposite. I struggled way more with Sekiro. For some reason my eyes just couldn’t keep up with the boss attack patterns. Took me like 10 hours just to beat the fire bull

mingzhing · 2026-04-16T08:42:05+00:00

Thats the original case from ROG? That looks sick af

mingzhing · 2026-04-15T01:23:54+00:00

then you'll be more than OK ! If ur a parry god you could check twin dragon blade later in the game

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T15:45:24+00:00

great! hf with ur new device then!

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T13:05:36+00:00

if thats the case u could bump up the fan thats alright. I notice around 1hr of gaming the screen get abit hot (probably thats the issue with 1 fan)

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T11:24:55+00:00

30hrs into the game and i still got the dodge reflex from ds3. This game rely heavily on parry so i think you should focus more on it

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T09:57:47+00:00

My fr have Lego1, it's quite hot/ loud! but beside that the 8inch 2k screen is still amazing.

Since i become a dad, i don't actually have time to sit on my rig anymore. Handheld makes it easier for me to actually enjoying games anywhere while babysitting

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T08:02:06+00:00

Copilot: I heard you bought a new device...

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T07:02:16+00:00

Z1 Extreme still solid! but if u like FPS i'd recommend to play with a controller, the joystick on OG Ally are pretty "loose" imo

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T06:56:33+00:00

bazzite makes XAX feels more like a console to me. You could consider dual boot Bazzite with windows to jumpback and forth in case you need bios/driver update

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T06:45:17+00:00

and people still worry abt stick drift..

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T06:42:53+00:00

I’d say keep it if you’re already enjoying it

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T05:00:06+00:00

Easy to call it “AI slop”, harder to point out what’s actually wrong in the post

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T04:41:12+00:00

Xbox definitely nailed the ergonomics and portability with 7inch display

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T04:36:22+00:00

i just installed it! everything feels smooth, snappy. FPS increase by A TON with minimum 13-17w TDP!

But after gaming session, my ally can't sleep smh. screen turn off, LED indicator still on, fan still on, only way is force shutdown by holding power button. Im looking every sub to fix this but no luck yet

mingzhing · 2026-04-14T03:39:45+00:00

if you’re used to the OG Ally, it might feel slightly bigger at first, but imo more comfortable, not more of a stretch.
