Comment on GuliKit reveal SNES styled dock for Steam Deck

All I ask is CAN THE DOCK FUCKING WORKS?
I have the official deck dock and when you put the deck to sleep and wake up you can face :
- borked hdmi output requiring removing power and plugging back to fix it
- this will sometimes cause the graphical driver to outright crash requiring a hard reboot of the deck
- after time without removing power and plugging back, the audio will become desynced and would need to power down and back up the dock.

I don’t have the official dock, but I do have the Jsaux dock. Maybe I’m lucky but I haven’t had any of these issues, the worst I had was audio came out of the Deck rather than TV after I put the deck to sleep, docked, then woke it. But a quick setting change and back to normal.

I haven’t noticed most of those issues since upgrading to SteamOS 3.5, so I think fixes are incoming.
Unfortunately 3.5 has an equally annoying bug where the steam overlay and QAM overlay sometimes stop opening when a Bluetooth controller is connected. Swapping games or changing QAM settings will require turning the extra controller off and using the deck’s built in controls instead. Not sure if USB controllers are effected, I should probably check those next.
