[@ED4T]

android is just an optional choice if some one does. need it.

[@R3AL-AIM]

Actually, in emulation. That's where Android is going to be much better than Windows or even Linux with that hardware. Specifically of most, Nintendo Switch emulation :) If compatibility layers all work well, performance it's going to be very nice.

[@gerriebossert8933]

@@R3AL-AIM do you gain any advantage in battery life. for moonlight this would be perfect or even geforce now.

[@oo--7714]

The games that don’t boot are probably due to their anti cheat solutions

[@ED4T]

WayDroid is a similar approach that I've got running on my own Deck. Plays games, Sky Sports, etc. Just finished a play-through of Final Fantasy Dimensions, sometimes portable, sometimes docked. The benefit of WayDrid compared to this solution is that I retain my SD card for storage. Still, nice video.

[@ehenyor]

I wanted to share that I have this installed on my ssd. The instructions are identical to what's shown in the video except you choose an empty (and formatted) partition. I installed "Bliss OS 16.9.6 (x86_64-v2) with GApps" on a 32gb ext4 partition. It seems to run fairly smooth with reasonable Steam Deck battery life, but I don't know if the analog sticks work (yet). I've successfully tested Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Gmail, and Pac-Man Championship edition. I have a bit of an Infinity Gauntlet now with a quad-boot Steam Deck: SteamOS, Ubuntu Studio, Pop! OS, and Bliss OS. Also worth noting is that, due to Ubuntu, I have an additional EFI partition at the end of my drive that I used for Bliss OS. Happy Android-ing, Steam Deckers!

[@seitostockman]

White looks so good

[@ED4T]

thank you! it does.

[@NecolasHamwi]

Howwwwww? This looks absolutely awesome... I need this white shell

[@liamb135]

Does it pass SafetyNet and Play Integrity? If not, that might be why certain games and apps won't run. Rooting and using PIF might be a solution.

[@ED4T]

It's not the problem of rooting. I believe some games are so sensitive. Esepically games are from tencent. they just treat bliss os as emulation too but they are not actually.

[@learninglanguages744]

I installed Bliss OS on an x86 tablet PC and faced the same issues about compatibility. Some apps will not work on x86 devices, especially games. For dualboot, maybe rEFInd could help you. Hopefully with Chromebooks popularity increasing, it’ll be more apps compatible with x86 and suitable for landscape use.

[@xeienar]

Android apps on x86 are deprecated long way ago (think of the old intel atom smartphones / dualboot tablets) the way Google handles Android apps on x86 devices is through a kind of emulation (it's technically not emulation, it's pretty embedded on the system, that's why you see almost native performance. think of it like windows' subsystem, but better) this is why the cheapest Chromebooks are ARM based, while the middle to upper models can handle Intel and AMD.

[@ED4T]

yeah i think it will never be perfect and it still have a long way to go. but it can run some basic apps and games at least.

[@Neroevelocity]

Hi LOVE your tutorials and was wondering if you could do a quick video on how to put cheats into citra for the steam deck? I've tried manually inputting them I've tried copy and pasting txt file lines and NOTHING works! fyi the game I'm playing is dqm2 cobi and tara for the 3ds. I've looked online and there are cheats but NONE work even when others are saying they do! I'm worried it might be a linux problem. I hope you see this and I look forward to your future videos!

[@ED4T]

great topics. so cheat for 3ds games on steam deck. i will see if i can make it work if i do. will make a video for sure.

[@potatogels4477]

I tried it and it works flawlessly! Thank you! Just curious, how can I uninstall Bliss on my deck if I will not use it anymore? Thanks!

[@quest2782]

have you tried out waydriod the guy who made the clover duelboot made it its pretty cool.

[@ED4T]

Not yet man. I heard every time steam is update will break the waydriod. Hope it won’t happen in the future.

note: Format SD in Steam Game Mode is not necessary if you are going to flash the micro SD using balena etcher in Steam Desktop Mode.

[@apairofpears]

do you think one of the reasons it couldnt run those graphical games is because its running of the sd card. could you make a video putting bliss os on the internal storage

[@cirotheb5]

drivers issue, keep in mind that the Steam Deck has an x86 processor, while android devices have ARM processors, so not everything is going to be compatible

[@makandalp]

This is all not true. The reason these tencent games don't run is because they have an emulator protection and bliss os is and always was seen as an emulator.
