Jsaux has two versions, the old one HB0602 only has the 100Mbps ethernet and 2x USB A ports, while the newer version HB0603 has Gigabit and upgraded 3x USB 3.0 A ports.

Ah cool, I stand corrected.

Got my email last night but I doubt I’ll follow through for the 512gb version given the cost of living at the moment. Instead I’ll put that Deck money aside to purchase an aircon in December for the 2023 summer heatwave.

Only just ordered my Deck so don't have a skin on it but I have iphone & Macbook Air skins from Xtremeskins, always been satisfied with them, well priced too.

I've been playing around with the Steam Deck for a few days and I'm massively impressed!! I'm completely sold, and I would 100% upgrade to the sequel if it had a few updates (larger screen or less bezel would be my top)!

Do you guys use a screen protector on yours at all? Not sure if I should, or which one I should go for...

How to install the Epic Games Launcher on the Steam Deck

Here's how to install the Epic Games Launcher on a Steam Deck, and get access to your Epic Games Store library.

*** The Official Steam Deck Thread *** (18)www.rockpapershotgun.com

Will be doing this later today. Got a few purchases on Epic but also got literally hundreds of free games that I’ve never got around to playing too.

No need to install Windows either, which is nice!

I’ve just done this today, it’s a piece of cake and you can launch it from within the gaming mode of the deck once you’ve added it, no need to go to desktop mode every time.

Tried out rocket league and seems to work fine, that rumbleverse even worked too but that’s brand new so may need a while for some updates to be more stable, didn’t play around with the settings (all were on high) and it was stuttering quite a bit. Impressive though a none steam game working on the day it’s released.

Edit: Just realised that method is not the one I used, I just installed heroic game launcher and you can link it straight to your epic account, far easier imo.

So this completely replaces the need to install both Epic and GOG on the Deck?

pretty much, though it can be a bit fiddly at times, when its doing everything right it just gives you a list of all your gog and epic games and manages the installs

Already installed Emudeck, been playing a few older Dreamcast games.

Did have a post deleted regarding trying to get the Switch emulator working. I’ve got a Switch so not sure that it’s exactly piracy but haven’t cracked it yet, which I gather is needed to get the “keys”.

Shame really as I was looking forward to playing BoTW on my Steam Deck.
