Oh, I don’t know how it is nowadays, I have switched to Linux since many years ago…

Very often sfc /scannow will ask for an installation media, which, in a corporate environment, means sending the machine to onsite support for either “fixing” or “reimaging”. It’s basically the command you should try first if you don’t want to help someone fixing the issue. “See? There is something wrong with your installation, you should fix that before doing anything else…”

I used that trick a few times myself to get rid of poorly behaving people.

I would recommend to pay a visit to Wipeout Phantom Edition.

It’s an enhanced PC port that uses the original assets from the Playstation CD and I had a lot of fun with it on my deck a few months ago…

No, I didn’t. But I suspect that there might be some unwanted bridge somewhere which is directing electricity where is shouldn’t and lowering the overall voltage in that part of the circuit.

I had no time yet, but I was thinking to remove the components of that part of the circuit and solder them onto an external board one by one. If I reach a point where the circuit starts working, I should then see if the last component moved was shorted with another one.

It will take a while, but I’d like to keep searching for the answer until it’s found :)

The Steam Deck is a PC…

I use regularly Lutris, Bottles, ScummVM, Dosbox-X or EmulationStation. So I can play from GOG, Epic, Itch.Io or plain old games (Dos) / emulated.

I do have many titles on Steam as well and generally I don’t look too much at whether something is verified or platinum on ProtonDB, I just avoid titles from companies like Activision, EA, Ubisoft and generally all works very easily or easy enough!

That is a good point… on average it’s around 500Mb of RAM usage, between 0.5% and 1% of CPU (it’s a 2.4Mhz four cores).

Space is 5Gb, mainly media files accumulated over two years.

So overall, not bad.
