[App] I recently made an update to my SD Card scanning app [GitHub - ddotthomas/SteamDeck_SD_Card_Scanner: A program to keep track of the games on the SD card on a Steam Deck] ( github.com )
I made this app to help me keep track of the different games I have on each of my SD cards. If you have 2 or more SD cards that you swap between and you're ever trying to remember which one has which, this app will help you out....
Should I get a Steam Deck?
I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I’ve sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2...

[News] Updates to the linux kernel 6.6 suggest a hardware refresh/variant of the Steam Deck is in development ( www.phoronix.com )
The Linux kernel has been updated for some new hardware that still includes the AMD Van Gogh APU, which is currently only used in the Steam Deck. Popular speculation is that Valve will release an updated Steam Deck, one that still uses the same APU (so same performance), but had other changes to the hardware. Possibly different...

Anyone else have trouble with the Nintendo layout not working properly?
For a little more context, I use an 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless controller. The one that works on the Switch, PC, and the Deck, with my Deck docked to a TV while playing for this to happen. Haven’t tried to recreate the issue undocked, because I don’t use the Nintendo layout undocked....

RDR from switch...comparable performance?
Hi guys! So I have been testing RDR on a hacked switch, on a PC with a 1070 and a 6700, and on the SD (both using Yuzu Pineapple 3851). Seems the switch is still offering a smoother experience, even when Yuzu claims 30fps. It feels more…jittery? Is there a way to soften the framerate?...

[Game] ‘Starfield’ Steam Deck review in progress - "good in some parts but struggles in cities" ( toucharcade.com )
“After dozens of hours on just Steam Deck, Starfield feels good in some parts, but really struggles in the bigger cities. Turning everything to low and enabling FSR2 is basically the only way to play it right now on Valve’s handheld, and even that drops to 20fps often in the first major city (New Atlantis). The game itself...

[Discussion] two handed split / VR controllers similar to joy-cons on nintendo switch, but for PC?
I honestly don’t care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that’s split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven’t had any luck...
Beyond good and evil on Steam Deck
Hi, I was interested in playing the HD version of Beyond good and evil on my Steam Deck. I did some research online and I found out that at least to 1 year ago the Steam version of the game had many issues (only french language and settings related problems). Anyone knows if those issues are still there or I can buy the game...
[Game] Baldur's Gate 3 - Patch 2 is "just around the corner", and includes lots of performance updates ( store.steampowered.com )
The next patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is supposed to include a lot of performance improvements, especially for Act 3. I know I’ve seen complaints in this community that the game runs too rough in act 3 on Deck to be a good experience, so this should be great news for people....
[Game] Leaked Patch Notes Confirm Starfield Compatibility with Steam Deck ( gameishard.gg )

Slim protective cases for the Steam Deck
Can anyone recommend a good case for carrying a Steam Deck in a backpack or similar which is less bulky than the factory case and yet protects the device? (I’ve heard the Dbrand Killswitch and JSAUX Modcase recommended, though that was a while ago.)
