[Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 2 months ago by Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

The community name has been changed, but the c/steamdeck part cannot be changed without creating a new community.

In the previous discussion on whether to include Steam Machine/Steam Frame/Steam OS, the majority of the responses wanted to include the new hardware, at least for the time being.

Part of this decision is that, right now, the fediverse isn't really large enough to support multiple hardware-specific Steam OS communities. However, if the community grows or it becomes apparent that the communities need to be separated, we can do that at a later time.

As always, feedback is encouraged and welcome.

These are lists of some tools and software that are useful for Steam Deck and can enhance your experience with it, as well as all the websites and other such Steam Deck resources I know.

I made these lists for the wiki on Reddit's SteamDeck sub and I thought it was a pretty useful to keep around. I wanted to dump them here for everybody to preserve them and to maybe find a new home for this Steam Deck resource.

Let me know what you think.

List of tools and homebrew

Below is a list of tools and homebrew that can enhance your experience with the Steam Deck. Since the Steam Deck offers most things that a normal Linux desktop environment can, tools are included that can be found in the Discover store (including from non-default repositories) and have proven to be an especially good fit.

Emulation and non-steam games

  • BCML Installer for Steam Deck

    BCML (a modding tool voor Breath of the Wild for WiiU) can be difficult to get running on Steam Deck, because it uses an immutable filesystem and the version of Python installed by default is higher than what BCML supports. This script helps people install it.

  • BoilR

    Add non-steam games to your steam library.

  • Emudeck

    This script automates downloading, installing and setting up a large list of different emulators.

  • SGDBoop

    A tool that automatically applies assets from SteamGridDB directly to your Steam library, removing the need to download and set them manually.

[Help] ext4 or btrfs or xfs for Proton and Wine prefixes on Lutris or Steam with an external SSD ? (piefed.social)

Should I use which file system for Proton and Wine prefixes on Lutris or Steam with an external SSD or microSD card under SteamOS ?

In the Bazzite documentation says "FAT32 and exFAT are unsupported . Both filesystems do not support symbolic links which is required for Proton prefixes to work properly. However, there are scenarios where a microSD card is formatted to exFAT may work in some cases, but this method is unsupported as something the Bazzite maintainers do not plan to accommodate."

[Help][Deck] infinite Steam Logo after wake Bug, any fix unrelated to animations? (feddit.org)
submitted 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) by Don_alForno@feddit.org to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
0 comments fedilink
 
 

My Steam Deck OLED does the thing where after waking from sleep it infinitely displays the spinning logo, the game sound is audible but I can't actually get into the game. In most cases no buttons react, not even the Steam button. Only way out is a forced shutdown. Everything works again after a restart.

I've read online that disabling startup animations is supposedly a workaround for that. The thing is, that feature is not and was never turned on on my device. Does anybody know of different reasons or fixes for the bug?

Decky Plugin "DeckyParty" may be the easiest way yet to transfer files between your Deck and other devices (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 1 day ago by Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

The plugin brings the excellent CopyParty, which is a file server program. After toggling it on from the Decky plugin, you can go to the provided IP address on any of your devices, enter the password, and access the Deck's files. You can manage files, upload or download files, and more. File transfer speeds are fast and resumable.

Here's the GitHub for the plugin, although for right now it's pretty bare on a description. For details one what all it can do, I'd recommend checking out the CopyParty link up above.

Lutris games only seeing Steamdeck as a KB+M when running games in Gaming* Mode (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I have some games I’m running via Lutris, and my Deck runs the games fine.

All my prompts for commands are based on keyboard controls, even if I disconnect a keyboard.

I was able to work around this for some games via in game settings, but not all games seem to have this option.

Am I missing a setting?

Edit: should clarify I am running the game via Lutris in Gaming mode.

Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by Batmorous@lemmy.world to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

A gaming phone controller accessory that connects physically to phone (With same layout and functionality like the Steam Controller, Steam Deck, and Steam Frame Controllers) Would be cheaper than regular Steam Controller

With FEX making x86 Steam games capable of working on ARM devices it will be cool to game on mobile with mobile controller that has the dual touch control pad things the hardware above has to go with the phone and what better way than another option aside from the actual controller. Plus it gives phone more of a Gameboy Advance type of feel to play like that

Maybe to incentivize more people to have that you can use gaming phone accessory wirelessly or wired connected to any Steam hardware for using your phone with the gaming phone controller accessory as controllers too

Like the idea? Not like the idea? Anyone wanna suggest changes/additions/etc to the idea to be better be my guest.

Also if anyone wants to suggest other stuff Valve can do then please do!! All of us together can ask for the ecosystem to grow in ways that are good and fun for us all!!

Trying to help make gaming better for us all!

Edit: Looking at comments the post does sound like a eh idea but it is salvageable initiative. This post was mainly meant to be focused on extending that dual trackpad for mouse/etc functionality with another addition to the family for mobile to give mobile users ability to have those trackpads at lower price point.

But what would be cooler to see is more companies make their own versions of optional variant controllers with dual trackpads into their own controllers and mobile controllers cases to have more ability to use it as mouse/etc in-game/in other software/operating system as we do in Steam Deck already but having that functionality on phones/other non-mobile hardware across a larger breadth of controllers and devices

We’re also committing to supporting Vortex on SteamOS. We’ll be targeting vanilla Steam hardware like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. We won’t be officially supporting any other configurations, but as Vortex is an open source project community developers will be free to extend support for their preferred Linux distros as they please.

Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode (slrpnk.net)

Lately my Stream Deck has not been accepting "mouse" clicks, whether it be my trackball, the touch pad on my keyboard, or the Steam Deck's own hardware buttons. A restart of the deck had been working, but today it does not. Also now when restarting, the Deck boots into game mode instead of back into desktop.

Anyone else have this issue and find a solution?

The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant) (piefed.social)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by bonenode@piefed.social to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
34 comments fedilink
 
 

Edit a few hours later: I just want to thank you all for a nice discussion of the topic, I certainly learned a lot about how things work in the background. Doesn't change how I find it annoying but it makes it more understandable!

Just need to vent this into the great emptiness that is the internet. What is going on with providing proper save capabilities in games today? Is it really that hard to save the state the game is in, when I exit it? It seems to be, because I keep seeing games where only at specific times an autosave is triggered, and honestly, it's annoying.

Latest offender, The Fall of Porcupine, actually looks like a cool game, if you would actually be able to save when you exit it. Instead it saves at seemingly random times. Now I am trying to play that with my kid, and we got to watch our screentime a bit. It happened now twice we weren't sure how to trigger a save by going anywhere, nothing we could do would trigger it. So we lost progress... again. Probably not going to continue this one.

Even really great games do this. I finally got Dave The Diver and at least you get to save on exit everytime you can exit. What I didn't know until playing it for a while, there's times where the game does not allow you to exit, what in the world is up with that? Apparently it is really really important to finish this silly cooking minigame right now, as there is no option to return to menu. Similar in some other sequences of triggering a boss fight. Just now I was at a place in the game where 3 separate boss fights got triggered with no indication its going to happen and of course no way to exit. Other than killing the game, but I guess that wouldn't save it.

Aaand Stardew Valley, I really love it, great game. But only being able to save when ending the day, seriously? I read the mobile version can save anytime, why not all others too?

Ok, done, you can now ignore me or share your own stories if you like...

RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by PerfectDark@lemmy.world to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
12 comments fedilink
 
 

So I asked my friends on the RetroDECK team if they'd be open to me asking them a few questions about their latest update (which is a full rewrite of RetroDECK), and they were more than happy to.

For context, RetroDECK is a Flatpak-distributed retro gaming platform designed to bundle clients, multi-emulators, game engines, tools, ports and emulators into a single, self-contained application. Built around the ES-DE frontend and targeting platforms like the Steam Deck and desktop Linux, its aim is simple in concept: make endless retro gaming easy to install, easy to remove, and easy to maintain, without requiring users to manually piece together emulators, dependencies, and configurations.

I've used RetroDECK for years now on my Steam Deck, and absolutely swear by it over the alternatives. I love their work, and definitely encourage you to try it if you haven't already :)

Anyway, if you're interested in the details on what went into it, you can read my little article on it here with this link. In a day or two I'll be sharing the full 'interview' (it was shortish, by my own standards) with the team as well.

Here's a little edit, my full questions and answers with the devs is available to read with the following link:

In this full debut episode of Games For Everyone, we discuss the upcoming Steam Machine and Steam Frame hardware launches, focusing less on specs and more on the impact these could have on broader Linux adoption. We also reflect on how our gaming habits have changed since the Steam Deck launched back in 2022. Plus, we throw down some bold predictions for 2026, and share what games we've been enjoying during the last month.

Nexus Mods is ending development on Nexus Mods App, their steam deck compatible mod loader, to focus fully on Vortex instead (docs.google.com)

Victor posted the announcement as a Google docs link in the app's discord this morning.

Basically they said that developing two apps was slowing down development.

Specifically on Linux support they said this:

We're also exploring what Linux support might look like for Vortex in the future. While getting every game and mod working on Linux might not be possible, it’s an area we want to keep evaluating where it makes sense.

Edit: kinda weird update, but they apparently decided having the announcement as a Google docs link was weird too, so they put it on the Nexus mods blog as well and edited the original discord announcement to link to that instead. You can see that here, as far as I know it's exactly the same as the Google docs announcement.
