Is it possible to get some kind of external storage going where I can plug and play?

Exactly pal,

It did get sent to GN by multiple people as i also posted it on reddit. I of course told them to do one and that i wouldn't sign it! told them if they don't want to take liability for shipment cancel my order simple as why should i lose out on £700 so they can save £4 on a premium shipping service.

Did they cancel it then?

People are going crazy on Reddit checking their tracking, I haven't look at it once since ordering. I mean what can I do if it's delayed other than ask for a compensation?

kakarott · 12 Jun 2023 at 12:06

Anyone got dispatch/tracking emails yet?

Edit: got email from dpd

Do DPD allow you to reroute delivery as it turns out, no one will be home tomorrow.

Any defects?

Even if it comes today, not sure I'll have time especially with Zelda to finish on my switch.

Got mine - slightly odd that it won't switch on unless you plug it in first despite being charged - also how do you get the keyboard to show to input wifi password, had to use steam deck dock and keyboard to get passed that..

Other than that very nice so far, shame its not black and the RGB will be switched asap lol..

Read on Reddit about KB: It’s left back button + D-pad UP brings up keyboard

Did anyone get there's in a cardboard box because mine only had a think packet and the box has dents.

Was it from Currys? I got an ipad from them last year and it just came in a plastic bag over the box, no proper external cardboard box which I thought was poor. I don't think the standard box is enough for transport IMO.

Yes

Set up was a little sloppy but have an offline account set up for now. Will do SSD swap and then install windows by the bios.

May I ask why you will do SSD swap and new w11? Is it better to have fresh install?

Well more storage the better. Installing win 11 via bios is the recommended/automated way

Has anyone used Emudeck for Windows on their unit yet? I think you can get it by coming a Patreon of theirs.

I am tempted to order one, really love the way Emudeck works on the Steamdeck and would like the same on the Ally.

No but will look into alternatives such as retrobat and playnite

Anyone found a good tempered glass?

kakarott · 16 Jun 2023 at 18:30

Just updated my bios to 3.17. There is 3.19 but has worse performance.

Anyone rolled back to bios 317 - is it worth it and not too much hassle?

Yea I did, pretty easy.
