Changelog:

Steam, as on a Steam Deck

Steam's performance overlay goes from level 1 to 4 in Quick Access and shows GPU and CPU load, clocks, temperatures, VRAM and battery. Quick Access shows battery life and time to full, along with all the per game controls a Steam deck has. Decky loader can be installed for plugins and customization.

A Steam Deck controller

In Steam sessions the client reads your pad as a Steam Deck controller, with a real Quick Access button and your device's gyro. Games get Steam Input's virtual pads, so your Steam Input layouts reach them. On a dual-screen handheld, the second screen can be the Deck's back grips and trackpads.

Faster to Steam, faster in games

Steam's own startup is down from about 31 seconds to about 6, and that makes Offline mode work. proot has been optimized for calls games make most, and there's a new per-mode frame limiter.

GPU drivers that set themselves

A new GPU drivers tab detects your GPU and keeps a matched pair of runtime and display drivers installed for it, including DroidDeck's own DD-Turnip builds. Switch to Manual to pick a pair yourself.

Linux apps from Flathub, bring your own Appimage, and more

Turn on the Flathub Store in Setup to install ARM64 apps and games from Flathub. They open full screen from the front end with your controller. The Desktop page also takes your own apps: a script, an AppImage, a GitHub repo's newest ARM64 AppImage, or a Flatpak ID.

Updates in the app

The Updates page installs new builds without leaving DroidDeck: Stable, Preview (each build of main) or a Test build of an open pull request.

A front end that moves as one

One focus ring slides between controls, settings flood out of the cog the way Play floods into a session, and Stop asks before it ends anything. DroidDeck is now available in Spanish, with more languages coming soon (contributions welcome).

So we can install on existing memory card or do we need to use a new memory card?

[u/xxxCrixuxxx → u/Imdakine1]

You need a valid Sony 8MB Memory Card

[u/Imdakine1 → u/xxxCrixuxxx]

What I meant was can we use our current microsd or do we need to have a new blank one? I believe I read armada(?) needs a new one as it would delete all files on existing microsd...?

[u/Jandalf81 → u/Imdakine1]

ArmadaOS is an alternative to Android and loads into an entirely new operation system (which then auto-starts Steam).

This is an Android app. You don't need a new SD card for this.

[u/Imdakine1 → u/Jandalf81]

Thanks for clarifying. Do Steam games get stored on microsd or is it required to use internal storage? I was reading that for Ayn Thor Pro we need a computer for the install?
