JI heard from one of the nobara devs that emulation is better than windows across the board even if its only slightly
Ano random resources allocation
Athats why linux is better
Mmy whole TDP overclock adventure on the Ally was in search of better totk performance.
Jhighly dependant on most games and different hardware
Mthat’s my basis I’m recommending leaving it alone now
Jfor the most part native linux games run better than native windows ones though
FOn AMD specifically, OpenGL performance is much better, so emulators which use OpenGL have much better performance
FAnything else, is more or less the same
Jyou sure about that?
Ano not really
FYeah
Jfrom what I've tried vulkan works a lot better than openGL on the ally(at least on yuzu)
CI'm 100 % interested on it, like, just look the price difference between a 2 TB 2230 SSD and a 2 TB normal gumstick SSD
Ait depends on the game still
JI'm more concerned about thermals
MAlly is the easiest handheld to put a 2280 in
C252 usd vs 176 usd
Csheesh
FI'll agree to disagree
Fin this case
Jand I know heatsinks can be installed
MI’ve done it on my own device. Had a 4tb 2280 in my Ally for awhile.
J@Aru been playing around with your plugin and the game runs really good at 35w
Xtime to rsync over the ~/Emulation folder
CYes, that's the 90° mod, you install a 90° adapter so you can use a 2280 ssd
Jare the temps with the built in tool in the QAM accurate?
CHow was thermals?
Myou either need a slightly boosted fan profile over the default, or it could probably use a slim heat sink
Ai can give some good examples, totk runs better with vulkan rather than opengl, bayonetta 1&2 runs better with opengl rather than vulkan, its game dependent really, because of the weirdness of the engines used
CA bazillion watts in a tiny device, sheesh
Xshould I use a decky plugin to cap the TDP to be safe?
MI got thermal warnings when I’d try and transfer more than 600gb at a time unless I boosted the fan a bit
Juse @Aru 's plugin

Jbut PLEASE do this,, set minimum wattage to 4w
Jgoing under that isn't safe I think
A
Aat 3w even the deck starts to die
Jyou can do that from the QAM from decky menu
FI didn't say that Vulkan is better than OpenGL.
I compared Windows OpenGL to Linux OpenGL.
I compared Windows OpenGL to Linux OpenGL.
J4w is the lowest the ally can go safely and even thats unsupported
Jshouldn't linux openGL be better
Fcompared to Windows OpenGL, yes
CI don't know if you want to suffer the terrible battery life and heat from a 8 or 12 perf core spu in a petite device
Jwoah hold up
Jthe ally is running really cool at 35w
J80C
JI'm gonna try 40
Athats because of the new architecture, which is a bit more wattage and voltage dependent than the previous one
