Wow, that’s scary

Auto Suspend
So what happens? The screen just goes black in the middle of a game? I guess that would be a clue to plug it in if you’re expecting it.
Right now, having it shut down when you didn’t realize the battery was low is really annoying.
But here’s something I’ve done many times. I pick up my Deck, I turn it on without thinking, and it turns out it’s at 0% or very close to it, and as the screen comes on, the voltage drop from waking up has lowered the voltage below the low-voltage shut off, so it just shuts down immediately.
I did this like three times before I learned to always plug in the Deck before turning it on if i’m not certain I have good battery.
So what would happen with this plugin installed? Would it wake up and then immediately go to sleep again? Or is there a threshold where it doesn’t check if it should sleep within a certain period of being woken up? In that case, it would just shut down, like normal. But I’m wondering if there’s a chance the plug-in catches that and makes it go back to sleep. Because that would be excellent as long as I knew what was happening.

Makes sense. Like MAME, like the other reply mentioned.

Some of us don’t even know what RCPS3 is, so LBP could have been anything.

Orginal Oblivion with mods. I have never played it. I just got the game installed yesterday, and set up in Vortex. Now I have to go grab all the mods, which is very manual. Vortex mod installation links on the Nexus don’t work on the deck. There might be a way to fix that because the mod suggestion list I’m looking at said there’s a way to make links work with Mod Manager 2 on the Deck.
I’m following a curated list of mods that will be a “vanilla+” experience. Not too crazy or anything. It’s called “A Pocket Full of Cheese Wheels” on the Nexus. It comes with a one-click installer shell script that installs Mod Manager 2 and a bunch of other stuff on the Deck but I’m just going to do it manually. The script is old and no longer maintained.
I modded Fallout 3 with Vortex on my Deck, and it was pretty easy when the game is installed on the SD card. I feel like that was key, but I don’t remember exactly why. You also have to symlink the “My Games” folder from the Fallout 3 (or Oblivion) Proton prefix into the Vortex Proton Prefix. That’s so Vortex can manage the INI files and such. Plus you set the SD card as the D: drive in the Vortex Proton prefix so it can see the game’s folder, too. In fact, I think that’s was done automatically done by Steam. Maybe that was why I installed the game on the SD card. But it’s not like you couldn’t make your own drive mapping. It’s a simple symlink named like “d:” or “e:” in the “dos_devices” folder. I don’t see why that couldn’t point to the NVMe drive, but I feel like people online said that wouldn’t work. Vortex is also installed on the SD card.
Maybe some day I’ll document all of this.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 1 month ago:
You can use any controller with it, though. I bet there will be a lot of people who love their Xbox, PS5 or Gamesir controller and just want to stick with that to save $50 or whatever the price difference will be.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 1 month ago:
The Steam Machine will not require a Steam Controller.
- Comment on [Deck] Make it make sense 1 month ago:
Clockwise is “ascending”. Scrolling down is ascending alphabetically by default in a file manager, or ascending through paragraphs in a web site or PDF.
It’s ironic that your graphic of time is ascending in a downward direction, but you didn’t understand this.

Oh, I see it now. My bad. I missed him specifically showing that early in the video and later it looked like his left thumb was being used instead, but it’s not.
I even remember looking at my own Steam Deck to see the icon on the “select” button, and it didn’t ring a bell being called the quick access button. (Because it’s not.)
In addition, I mixed up my looking at the button with him zooming in on that button in the video. I would have sworn he did that, and I was about to go take a screenshot of it, but he didn’t. Stupid brain.

- Comment on A Steam Deck Has Been Turned Into A Steam Machine 2 months ago:
Now, Tom doesn’t recommend actually doing this, since it really doesn’t improve any performance and takes away the portability of the Deck, but it is a nice way to “revive” a Steam Deck that doesn’t work anymore.

Scrape, not scrap. Your version doesn’t sound very useful. :D
- Comment on DF Direct Weekly #240: Steam Machine - Pricing, Specs, VRAM, ARM Ambitions + More 4 months ago:
Doesn’t have to be a loss, just competitive with what a self-built PC would be.
Daniel Owen does good PC part breakdowns. Especially video cards. Here’s a cheap build he threw together using PC Part Picker to see what it would be like to build a PC using comparable parts to what the Steam Machine has, but a garbage power supply and case. It came out to $706.
(This link skips to 27:24. You have to rewind 2 minutes or so if you want to hear him talk about the bad power supply and case, which you definitely shouldn’t buy.)
If Valve can come in around $700 it will be a good deal. If it’s sub $600, it’s an outstanding deal. Especially because of the premium wifi, special Steam Controller antenna, small form factor, and stuff like that. SFF cases and motherboards have premium prices.

Fallout 3.
I spent the time to learn how to make action layers, radial menus, and multi-action keys. It’s great! (Emulating mouse/kb controls)
- Holding L2 for sights/scopes enables gyro aiming.
- X button presses Ctrl and Caps Lock at the same time to toggle both crouching and walking. (I will disable Caps Lock once I take the Silent Running perk.)
- Holding L1 enables an action layer that changes nearly every control:
- Right stick becomes a radial menu for item hotkeys, 1-8
- X presses Caps Lock alone to toggle walk-run by itself
- Y is hotkey 8, which is my hotkey for Stimpack. It’s easier to hit in an emergency than the radial menu.
- B becomes X (keyboard) for exiting shops
- Right trackpad become a a scroll wheel for menus
Stuff like that. Basically, I have every important keyboard key mapped somehow. I have the E key mapped two different ways. R3 for just opening doors and such where aiming isn’t important. And L4 for when I’m using the right trackpad as mouse for carefully picking up individual items like bottlecaps, Nuke Colas and such that are often surrounded by junk, or landmines.
It’s not as good as a real kb/mouse, but it’s much better than the default XBox 360 controls. Steam Input is so amazing.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 5 months ago:
Sure! The only thing I’m worried about taking over the community is the Steam Frame. There’s a chance it becomes super popular. But if that happens, we can just make a new community for it. No biggie.
- Comment on Steam Controller 5 months ago:
I’ve been replaying Fallout 3 on Steam Deck, and I only have Gyro enabled when I hold down L2 for aiming. It’s pretty awesome because it’s so much easier to fine tune aim by pivoting the whole steam deck than it is to use a stick. Like I can get headshots with a 10 millimeter pistol at close-medium range pretty easily. I could never do that with a stick.

- Loop Hero, but it became too hard at Chapter 3, and I have no idea how to get good. (I guess grinding resources and building more things in my town to see what they do.)
- Balatro, but it got repetitive and boring.
- Dave the Diver (Beat it. Loved it.)
- Nova Drift, but after 140 hours, I think I’ve had enough. Awesome game!

Thanks. I understand better, but I feel like I would just use one of the rear buttons as “disable gyro” if I were to use that kind of setup.
When I played Horizon Zero Dawn, I had gyro activate on left trigger, like you are saying, and it was very nice. I was so used to playing BotW that I couldn’t play any other way…

Good to know!
The JSAUX one is definitely robust enogh to handle Steam Deck charging. Also, I’m pretty sure it has a chip in it. It was advertised as such when I bought it. That means it probably is compliant.
