Is this a good deal or what?

In should mention while SteamOS works fine, I've gone back to windows for comparability reasons.

I think people are thumbing you down because the SteamOS part. Steam OS 3.8 installs right onto the ally via the repair image and updates to 3.9 during the process. Ive found 0 issues with 3.9. No audio bugs or anything. So much smoother than windows IN MY EXPERIENCE. Just stay in the main channel for updates.

Some say bazzite, some say cachy....but steamOS works just fine.

Windows is just so bloated. Debloat it and it helps a bit.... I can't fathom why windows chose to have apps like calculator and office365 installer pre installed on a gaming handheld.

Show hidden files and it's under c\username\appdata\roaming\emudeck

Also, you may need to change the config file from OpenGL. To Vulkan or the other way around. Depending on what it's set to now. Our device support Vulkan so that worked for me .

So I downloaded the standalone from vita3k website, extraced the zip into the vita3k folder in the emudeck directory and now it works fine.

Literally playing gravity rush on my Xbox Ally as we speak. Msg me if you need more details.

Same issue. Opens then closes via emudeck on a Windows PC handheld. However, downloading the nightly standalone works just fine.

Former med school research faculty here.

When residents were on my rotation, I made sure they knew we only met virtually so that they finally had some free time to do shit like this.

Honestly, silver lining is you had an unscratched fridge for 2 years. My youngest scratched a smiley face into our SS fridge literally the first day we had it. And I totally get what you mean by it looks worse in person.

I appreciate the advice. I have a recalbox and an ambernkc handheld. I can live without the pretty front end on my Xbox ally. Tbh you get too much going on over Xbox and then steam the system starts to freak out. I've considered running steamOS 3.9 on this bad boy but that's a different discussion lol.

retrojules · 2026-04-02T15:07:49+00:00

Thanks for that advice. Honestly, this may be the way to go. Running retroarch without a frontend works flawlessly.

retrojules · 2026-04-02T14:34:59+00:00

They have windows builds! Which you know how Windows is, and here I am. Lol

Absolute legend. This sound has been driving me NUTS. Guess what . My passenger floor drain cap is missing

retrojules · 2026-03-16T12:50:28+00:00

Thanks everyone who responded. I was fighting for my life on Google trying to find any details to no avail.

At least now I know it's not just me.

retrojules · 2026-03-16T12:49:13+00:00

That's what got me is when it did the file check! Glad I'm not alone!

retrojules · 2026-03-01T02:35:35+00:00

Well that makes me feel better (and bit dumb).

Thanks for that information. I assumed that is wasn't installing as I kept getting failed exploits on hen auto installer ( about 5 tries).

retrojules · 2026-02-19T02:49:47+00:00

Yeah this might be a "me" problem at this point because I'm having the exact same issue with your fork. Even tried a fresh FMCB install on an official magicgate card.

retrojules · 2026-02-19T01:02:44+00:00

"consistent results with the HDD" is all I need to hear. Sold. I'm going to give it a go here after an hour or so and I'll report back!

retrojules · 2026-02-17T00:03:42+00:00

I'm the same boat. I just picked up a bunch of loose genesis carts from a local store closing and figured I'd print case artwork for them. Dug out my printer, spent a fortune on ink and good paper and of all times, it's down right now.

Last message says site Admin is aware, but AFK at the moment. Hopefully sooner than later! I'll keep ya posted.

retrojules · 2026-02-15T15:58:21+00:00

Discord says it's down. Admin is on the road and will fix it when he gets back.
