Hi!

Here is the ISO for those that are making the DIY project by themselves using an Odroid H4.https://github.com/Playnix-io/playnix-os/releases

Playnix is going to be the brand I'll be using for my hobby hardware projects in the future so they don't affect EmuDeck in any way, EmuDeck is my main focus but I need some hobbies too :)I've created this Live CD ISO myself for this matter, you need to deploy it to an USB drive using a tool like Balena Etcher ( https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etcher ).Install the OS on your Odroid and then when you are in desktop mode click on the "Enable Gaming Mode" icon so Steam and all the other needed goodies are installed, after that you can use your Odroid like a SteamOS device with Gaming and Desktop mode like a Steam Deck.

PS: An Android APK sneak peek is coming soon :)

I got Play-Nix installed but the shortcut "Enable Gaming Mode" doesn't seem to do anything. I see a window flash for a second and then disappear. I tried to manually run the curl command and get the error " bash: line 86: zenity: command not found"

Awesome work like always will set up on the machine when I get home

EmuDeck

Did you have internet enabled? Try running this in Konsole: pacman -S zenity

Brandon Rollins

Yes, I had internet...that worked and I was able to click "Enable Gaming Mode" and it ran and is installing now. One thing I noticed is some keyboard keys aren't showing up correctly. For instance. I tried to type pacman -S zenity using the SHIFT number keys and got pacman 'S zenity....I ended up having to use 10-keys to get the - correctly. Other symbols weren't right either...like SHIFT2 (@) showed up as " Things seemed to correct once I got into gaming mode though. I checked my keyboard type and it's set as Generic 104-key (PC)

EmuDeck

Sounds like the keyboard is in Spanish 😐. I’ll take a look!

Brandon Rollins

Yep, that was it. I checked the /etc/vconsole.conf and fixed it.

i am not sure playnix-os is a good name, it could give the illusion you are using nixos under the the hood.

Will this only install on the Odroid H4? I've got a HP 3–4-year-old higher end mini desktop that I was going to setup for Linux based emulation device...

EmuDeck

as long as you don't have an Nvidia card it should be fine

NikoAlex

Me and my big Nvidia card shaped stomach 💔

DAVID EVANS

It might have a Nvidia card, so screwed right?

DAVID EVANS

Will it work with Intel video cards (the device I have has a Nvidia and Intel. Trying to avoid the Windows version in this case, I just want a dedicated emulation device.
