r/SteamDeckTricks

Hi I discover that I can use steamLink on my Tv and can t retain myself to try it with my SteamDeck. At first sight it works flawlessly; I can t found for now how to connect my ps4 controler to my tv but it s not even a thing because connect to my steamdeck there will be no input lag (I found in my search that it could be the major issue).

I tried the perf by playing Dave the diver; from the deck, the resolution is in 1080p, 60fps, 9watt. From the side of the SteamLink, I let the default settings and it said that thé connection is more that enough. I noted some minor lags (not in the input but in the "streamflow"). Is lowering the video quality from the steamlink app could résolve this behavior ?

If you already use the couple steamdeck/steamlink, what are your recommandation ?

Is there a way to turn of the screen of the deck while using it as a contrôler during a session on steamlink ?

Thank you for your advises 🥸

После того, как я оставил консоль на зарядку на ночь, утром он начал заряжаться без подключения, а при подключении зарядного устройства наоборот разряжается. Так же, при игре на зарядке не показывало значок «вилки» в правом верхнем углу (пиктограмма игры от питания), а показывало какие-то космические числа работы от батареи (что-то вроде 150 часов). Пробовал перевести в режим сохранения аккумулятора в биос, это помогло с игрой от питания, но после отключения кабеля начинает крутить часы работы от аккумулятора с двух часов до 11 и потом обратно, а в режиме рабочего стола пишет, что мощности зарядного устройства не хватает, чтобы заряжать консоль, хотя в игровом режиме все в порядке. Это программная ошибка или что-то с железом консоли?

Here's a trick for anyone who wants to watch their Deck gameplay on a bigger screen or share it with someone in the room.

DeckCast is a free Decky plugin that turns your Deck into a casting device:

1. Install the plugin (download zip from GitHub, extract to ~/homebrew/plugins/)

2. In Gaming Mode, open Decky → DeckCast → Start Casting

3. A URL appears (like http://192.168.1.231:8420/cast)

4. Open that URL on ANY device's browser — phone, laptop, TV, iPad

5. Your Deck screen streams live at 60fps

No extra apps needed on the receiving device. Works on any browser that supports HLS.

It also does Wi-Fi file transfer, YouTube uploads, clip trimming, and Twitch streaming.

Hey everyone! Im newish to pc gaming and I’m having a really hard time setting up emudeck and emulators. Im hoping i can connect with someone on here thats willing to help me get it set up. I’d love to get all my nostalgic emulators on there and i dont know how to go about it. any help would be really appreciate.

Hello, after a steam update I had two plugins requiring an update but I didn't complete them before updating Decky. Now Decky crashes and won't function. I switched to Desktop mode, found the folder for the plugin I think is causing problems and "move to trash" and "delete" are greyed out. I tried the Konsole rm -rf command as well but nothing happens after entering my root pw. Any suggestions?
