I just got my 512 OLED in this evening. The chime on mine is also noticeably quiet. Personally, I preferred the chime loudness on the LCD model. Oh well.

Interestingly, Valve actually has separate recovery images in zip archives next to the bz2 ones. Inside the zip archives are regular .img recovery images. Thanks to your tip, I was able to get it to boot on my IODD 2531 simply by renaming .img to .ima and selecting it as the boot image on my device. SteamOS Recovery boots on my Deck!

I don’t know why, but Valve doesn’t restrict browsing their SteamOS Recovery repository. And that’s how I found out about the .zip archives. Interesting, huh?

Give it a shot on your IODD ST400. You probably don’t have to use that ‘goober’ workaround anymore. :)

I have an IODD 2531. I like your out-of-the-box idea of writing the Steam Deck Recovery Image to the device and making a separate partition to store other bootable images in. But for me, that kinda defeats the purpose of the device if I write a recovery image to it and do that workaround to make everything else work again.

Granted, the Steam Deck Recovery Image may not change all that often, but still… Thanks for sharing!

That certainly was very quick! Enjoy~

I hate to be that guy, but…

The correct word is, “whether”, not “weather”.

I’m really enjoying this update. It’s been baking in the oven nice and long.

I saw one yesterday listed at about $1,900 but today it dropped to $1,100. Just insane…

edit: There are new listings up showing a screenshot of their confirmed order and the price they paid. These people have no shame.

Neon Drive would be pretty nice on that OLED. Also, get Aperture Desk Job.
