Comment on The Legion Go made me thankful for my Steam Deck
soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoYou also need to transfer the ROM files, what either means using a USB drive, takig out the SD Card, or using some form of network file transfer. The Steam Deck comes with sshd preinstalled, so gaining sftp access is just a matter of enabling it, but most guides to do so just mention how to do it on the command line… And for some weird reason Windows users seem to be afraid of terminal windows… (I just had to google if there even are graphical frontends for systemd… The answer is of course yes.)

I’ve installed EmuDeck a couple of times and I don’t think I’ve had to use the terminal. And if I did all I was asked to do was type my sudo password

I’m talking about sftp access. The sshd is disabled by default, and the deck user doesn’t have a password set either. If you want to push your ROM files over to the deck over network, you need some way to tell systemd to start sshd - the usual one being
sudo systemctl start sshd.
