What about the ROG ally

[@PeteTalksTech]

Great question! The website says it DOES work with Windows too - for the Ally and Go 👍 The instructions on the website say it is launched the same way as on SD OLED - from the bios manager section on our Ally and Go 👍

[@Nodster]

@@PeteTalksTech Basically it should work with anything that you can access either the bios or the bios boot menu on a system and can boot from either SD card or a USB card reader should be good to go. There is a caveat to this though and with out sounding like a complete nerd basically if the device is set to run the bios purely as UEFI then the micro SD card would need to be set up with the GPT (GUID Partition Table) boot as those systems will not boot an MBR (Master Boot Record) boot drive or even see them. I will assume most devices will the option in the bios set to some sort of hybrid uefi so that it can detect legacy devices and in turn able to boot MBR drives. In summary, If the bios can see it the bios can boot it :D

​@PeteTalksTech why ally has less games but same price ?? Can you pls make a video on ally as well

[@MichaelEMaul]

Thanks Pete! I really appreciate the shout out! It’s my Bday tomorrow and this is the only present I need! I will be getting one now!

[@PeteTalksTech]

Awesome Michael, Happy Birthday and have a fantastic day! 🎊🎉🎊🎉

[@PeteTalksTech]

How was your Birthday Michael? Hope you had a great day! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@MichaelEMaul]

@@PeteTalksTech It was so amazing! Thanks for asking! Played games all day- best Birthday present of all lol. Then went to an Italian restaurant for a nice seafood dinner.

[@shaunmabey9790]

@@PeteTalksTechdo you need to install anything else or is it just plug and play? Is there any controller layout settings you need to adjust?

[@Frankenstein630]

A few tips for anyone getting this. 1. Make sure your audio is unmuted on steam os before switching to batocera, otherwise your audio will be muted regardless of what batocera says. 2. Go to system settings and change screen rotation to 0°. Mine was set to 90. This will fix your games screen being partially cropped out. 3. Go to controller settings and remap your controller. This will fix your issues of triggers not working like it did for Crazy Taxi in this video. Set your hotkey as the select button to Exit your games as usual. 😁

[@PeteTalksTech]

Thanks for sharing Frankenstein! 🙌

[@FrankHolder-v9e]

Very interesting but before I buy I have 3 questions if you have the time to answer:- 1 - Can you add extra games and/or systems? 2 - Does going in and out of the bios screen cause issues over time to the deck? 3 - Does the PS2 have GTA:San Andreas? (if you can't add more games and it doesn't have this one, I'll pass on it)

[@PeteTalksTech]

Great questions user! 1. Yes we can add extra games - just go into Desktop Mode, into roms folder and place extra roms in the right system folder 2. Hmm I wouldn’t think so - any readers any thoughts on this? 🤔 3. It doesn’t have have San Andreas but we could find this Rom and place in the ps2 folder in the Rom folder Hope this helps!

[@Lisa313shoe]

This is so great for ppl who are not familiar with doing emudeck thanks a lot . Also good for the people who don’t have the time or patience why not just grab this card save time and help others so thanks for this video. I was wondering can you use these cards in the Odin pro or lite consoles

[@PeteTalksTech]

Perfectly said Lisa! Yes you’re 1,000% right, this is perfect for those of us who just don’t want the hassle of doing all this themselves, literally saves 10s of hours! 🤩

[@dhirajreddy56]

Make a video for ROG ally x and compare which games are missing!!! As cost for both is same but ally SD card has less games

[@PeteTalksTech]

Funny you should mention this Reddy, my NEXT vid will be about the ULTIMATE Emulation Accessory for the Ally, stay tuned! 👀

[@sieedhassan86]

Looks great. Can I ask, each time you want to go back to Steam OS do you have to go back into bios mode? Also when you re insert the original SD card that you may be using for emudeck etc will all of the settings be in tact as if it was never removed? Thanks and the vid is sick!!

[@PeteTalksTech]

Thanks so much Sieed, your encouragement means so much! Yep we DO need to go back into bios after using this to head back into Steam OS, but it literally takes like 20-30 secs… Yes, when we insert our SD card with all our roms on, EmuDeck settings etc all work perfectly still, hope this helps and happy retro gaming! 🙌

[@yardboydeuceoao3489]

Is this an actual 512 gb card or is it spoofed to say 512gb? seems pretty cheap for the amount of storage provided/games vs the price of same cards on amazon and in store.

[@PeteTalksTech]

Seems pretty close to 512gb yep, yes it does seem very good value!

[@dhirajreddy56]

Can we use this card on Windows handheld???

[@bluesmhan9709]

Just a quick question my friends.... Does it Play the switch games too? Thanks

[@TheDarkchum1]

Those are basically impossible to emulate. Protected by Nintendo.

[@lexbeltran1354]

Yes it does😊

[@kinseyvandine1885]

Is it compatible with the ally? I’m so torn between the two. I don’t know which to buy 😅

[@PeteTalksTech]

Hey Kinsey, the website says it DOES work with the Ally - I’ll check this in a vid SOON! Funny you should ask about Ally v SD OLED - I’m working on a vid about this right now for release VERY SOON so stay tuned! 👀 In the meantime this is my SD OLED review! 👇 Steam Deck OLED: 3 Month HONEST Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqC2cn6wqrSqnpo

[@shaolin95]

One has OLED the other has IPS with the mediocre IPS contrast ratio and light grey blacks. Easy choice 😅

[@guillermocalderon2793]

​@shaolin95 processing power is also different at a different price point, so it's not easy at all. If all you care about is a console having oled, well that's you, but there's plenty of people who would benefit from the video hes working on.

[@Frankenstein630]

I clicked the link, and when checking reviews, a few stood out to me. The BIGGEST one was saying that there is NO AUDIO for the games on the OLED. Which is the only reason I haven't bought one. But I heard you say while playing Crazy Taxi 2 in the video that you loved the soundtrack. But I didn't hear anything in your edit. IS THERE AUDIO FOR DA GAMES??

[@PeteTalksTech]

Great point Frankenstein, I can confirm that YES THERE IS AUDIO in all games - you’re right that I think there were issues when the SD OLED first came and this SD Card was first available, but they have updated the Batocera system, as stated in their description of the item lower down: “Note: The new upgrade! The Batocera system built into this TF card has been upgraded to Batocera.Linux 39 version, which is perfectly compatible with the Steam Deck OLED version and perfectly solves the problem of no sound during use.” Hope this helps! 👍

[@shaolin95]

V39 is compatible with the OLED

[@ashketchup1093]

Can you set preview videos for the games and translations for the japanese titles?

[@PeteTalksTech]

Not too sure re. Japanese titles but pretty sure we can set preview vids as there are a bunch of different presentation options 👍

[@locnguyen-lr2ig]

Is it different from the LCD version? Like install driver or something like that

[@PeteTalksTech]

It will work equally as well on LCD as it does on the OLED 👍

[@chrisd8884]

Would you say it would be better to just use the files from this card and transfer them into folders for EmuDeck or RetroDeck?

[@PeteTalksTech]

It’s definitely much easier than trowling the web for them Chris yep! 🤩

[@Frankenstein630]

Can i leave the sd card in my steam deck when switching to steam os? Im worried about the card eventually corrupting if if remove it everytime i want to switch

[@PeteTalksTech]

Yep we can leave it in Frankenstein 👍

[@mreverybody1150]

That's why it is always a good idea to use disk cloning software to clone the card or backup to an image.

[@Frankenstein630]

When scrolling through the game catalogs, I notice some duplicates. Is that all they are, duplicates?

[@PeteTalksTech]

Hey Frankenstein, yes there may be some duplicates and also there may be some that look like duplicates but are just from different regions eg Japan, Europe and USA 👍

[@jondr]

There is an option dor 256GB or the 512GB. Is there just a bunch of extra storage left on the 512?

[@PeteTalksTech]

Great question Jon! Just checked and there's about 5GB storage left on the 512GB SD card, so the 51,400 retro games pretty much fill the entire card... 👍

[@valhallaoutcast]

I find these overkill, good I guess if you the type that doesnt know how to find roms yourself but its much cleaner and easier to just put the 100-200 roms you really want on yourself good video either way

[@PeteTalksTech]

Thanks Valhalla! You’re right that if you just “dabble” in a bit of emulation then doing 100-200 yourself is prob best, but if you’re a big fan of retro games then this is an excellent solution - I’ve been playing retro games from systems I never otherwise would have played! 🤯

Don’t think so, but remember ash we can just copy any roms from this sd card and place in our Emulation folder to use within EmuDeck if we want 👍

[@henryfulbrook4913]

How long did it take to arrive?

[@PeteTalksTech]

I think about 5-7 days 👍

[@MetalMyrZ]

either some of the systems aint showing up in this or u got a bit scammed, i know it showed at the end of you going through it all that there was 50000+ but i added up all the ones you sahowed and you showed exactly 19729 games, where the other 30000 are i have no idea

[@PeteTalksTech]

Hey Metal yes I figured out after making this vid that quite a few systems don’t show by default and we can go into the menu settings and choose which of the systems we want displayed or not like Spectrum for example which is off by default 👍

[@PeteTalksTech]

Haven’t encountered this Frankenstein, was it a virtual boy game you were playing as perhaps it was an error with the rom?

[@Frankenstein630]

No, I was playing manhunt on PS2. But it might've been a overheating issue or something. Where I live it got to 90°f today

Great question Sandy, I see no reason why we can’t copy everything that’s on this sd card and put it all on our own sd card of choice, so I’m guessing this is very doable 👍

[@PeteTalksTech]

Hey Steve! I’ve just checked in Desktop Mode in the roms folder and the ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari 800 and Amstrad subfolders are PACKED with games, so it looks like they are searchable, they just don’t have their dedicated section in the main menu! Feel free to let us know 5-6 of these systems games and I’ll try searching for them!
