Finally done setting up the #Odin2 Mini. #EmulationStation-DE installed, added Android apps to #ESDE and set it as my default launcher, added all my ROMs, set up all emulators and scraped metadata.
I created a #python script to generate a custom #emulationstation collection of all 5-star #retrogaming games present on #steamdeck. this is a great way to have the best games easily at hand, especially when using large collections.
Bought a couple of crappy usb #snes controllers from #aliexpress. Replacing a broken and greasy fake usb #saturn controller for an #emulation PC in a restaurant. I can't be the only one wondering what's inside these things, so here is a pic.
I love how the #SteamDeck still hasn't figured out how to properly exit from non-#Steam apps yet, particularly desktop apps (including its very neat #NestedDesktop app).
This used to bug me so much, but I've sort of accepted it by opting for web apps instead of desktop apps in #Gaming mode - these apps can safely/properly be closed by "closing the tab" (from the browser) by pressing Ctrl + W. Using the Web Browser controller layout, the left "Select" button on the controller is a shortcut for this combination.
Games or any other game-like apps such as #EmulationStation are fine, as they have an in-game/app "quit" option to close the app properly. Desktop apps though, mostly do not have this option - leaving you only with the option to "Exit Game" through #SteamOS instead where the issue lies, and something that hasn't been fixed since the Deck was launched.
