This is the way. For every steam game I don’t have on gog, I have a repack on my backup NAS.

Good to know. I just bought it on gog’s sale.

I didn’t give it a good chance before because it was getting multiple 99gb updates. It was pretty fun though and it would be well past that stage now.

Yes, it should have been in the collection instead of the snes remake.

It’s too late for you… But anyone else wanting to play it, just start with the pc engine version. It’s easy to find a CHD with the translation patch already applied. PC Engine will easily emulate on any device.

I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

That was how this morning I learned fitgirl had a comments section.

Dropping the name of the show early in the conversation works better.

This show is readily available in torrents, where the community has curated from the highest quality sources available.

This is true. I recently got cassette beasts after wishlisting it on release. After about 20 minutes I looked at my battery and it had dragged down by about 25%.

What a battery hog that one is.

I like to think those internal communications were “goddamnit this torrents got no fucking seeders too!”

If you’ve been reading tech articles long enough, you know when wccftech appears; don’t trust a single word.

They blocked Pirate sites here in Australia years ago, and as far as I’m aware it affected nobody. Everyone who knows how to torrent already knows how to get by it.

Lacklustre hardware, poor Linux support, and anti-consumer business practices.

These are the things that Asus are all about and it’s why I dismiss their product.

I was on leetx a few times this week, everything was working great.

Are you using a dock? I just have the dock plugged straight into the receiver and it’s fine.

Also I had heard the official steam dock had problems doing it, I’m using a 3rd party one.

Adding, receiver is a Denon from around 2008. Dock is Jsaux.

Yeah, handheld war, Anbernic vs Miyoo, amirite?

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.

I tried to find the github issue, but it’s eluding me, so I’m going to go into detail since I spent about 3 weeks troubleshooting this.

Hard crash when playing a game. Restarts steam deck with a “verifying installation” message.

This happens anywhere from 2-15 minutes of playtime. Game didn’t matter, Terraria, Skyrim, Borderlands 1, Dave the Diver, Shredders Revenge, Doom 2016 … It was also reported by users with both LCD and OLED decks, so hardware revision didn’t matter either.

Anecdotally you find people saying that some of these steps work:

Memory retraining, re-imaging steam deck, Flashing different bios versions, Messing around with gpu clocks

But almost all of those threads loop back to the OP saying something like “nope, still crashing”. Any reprieve they did have seemed to be coincidental.

Valve themselves recommend those first two steps and then an RMA if it doesn’t fix it.

A Brazilian user in the issue tracker worked out you can flash BIOS 0116, and disable two specific memory power management flags. I believe the settings are hidden in other versions of the BIOS.

A Valve rep on the tracker confirmed that would work, but suggested not to do it as the deck is not functioning properly and needs to be replaced. They then closed the issue and advised to only use that fix if you can’t RMA.

Worth noting, 0116 is a pre-OLED BIOS, and can only be flashed to the LCD models. There is no way to reveal these BIOS flags on the OLED model, so you can only RMA in that case.

This has absolutely solved the problem. But I think I’m having a few dodgy side effects that weren’t happening before, like updates failing, and USB connection has become iffy and needing a few restarts to recognise devices are plugged in.

At least I can play games again, which work flawlessly now.

My partner bought me one a few months ago from Kogan for my birthday. But it does have a problem which needs to be RMA’d and I knew there was no hope of that.

I thought we could try our luck with Kogan returns, but they only have the OLED model now so don’t know how that would go. Especially as it appears to work fine ( until you get 5 - 10 minutes in-game then it hard crashes).

I found on the github issue tracker for steamOS someone from Brazil (who also had to resort to grey imports) found a way to flashback to an older BIOS and adjust memory power settings. That fixed it, but it’s a bit bodgy and introduces other issues.

This is a known issue that the Steam rep on the issue tracker said only follow that process if you absolutely can’t RMA it. They closed the issue in the basis that you just RMA it if it happens.

I know what you mean. I just started playing Borderlands and it’s so hard to do the shooting. I don’t know how people play these games on consoles.
