    Unfortunately I am fully convinced since I had the pre ordered first batch of them. I think its fucked. Once I go to the remote play They see eachother but neither willl connect when I selecet pair. It tells me to put a code in that never pops up. I just want to be able to play my emulators

    I can confirm I just used the newest version on their website because I didn't read the comments first... thankfully their most recent version based on the github was released 3 days ago. I believe they fixed the problem. Everything cloned successfully. I installed my new SSD, powered on and got worried at first because loading took a minute and it went to the original setup and login screen like a factory restore. Chose English and my time zone, logged into my account and everything is perfectly as I left it. I do have to redo settings and some things, it's almost as if it's a fresh install, yet all my games are installed and working (I've only tested elden ring so far). All my video files I've saved etc are there in desktop mode. All good! 👍 Thank you for the guide! 😊 Edit: Also, decky is installed and all my decky settings/ui changes that I've noticed are intact as well.

    I see so many videos about on Decky! And without fail, 90% of the comments below are Decky broke my XZY on my Steam Deck. I don't understand why content creators are promoting Decky when it is clearly unstable and comes with high risks.

  • @steamdeckguy
    @steamdeckguy12 күн бұрын

    The issues isn’t decky at all. its people installing steamOS beta releases and then wondering why they run into issues. People need to actually learn what beta actually means. I don’t promote any beta stuff on my channel for that reason. If you stick to stable you’ll be fine, and imo decky is essential.

    Great video. Just followed the process and Deck storage is upgraded to 2TB. My unit does not have the heat foil on top of the screw for some reason (different metal plate - bought in Japan) which made that part even easier. The reboot took a long time tho, probably because I've used a slow flashdrive. I took the opportunity to also install a copper heat shield at the SSD instead of the foil. Thank you for sharing this.
