There is zero chance I’m flashing a bios from a third party company onto my Steam Deck in order to install a different screen.
And without doing a better GPU what's really the point? Slower frame rate and a bit more resolution? Not what's important in a portable console for me.
If you stream a game from a PC with a stronger GPU, a better screen makes a difference, and you can still run lower resolution when away from home.
Yep, completely fair.
They mention:
Which sounds to me like they haven't reached out to Valve and there's pretty much no chance of that (EDIT: official BIOS support) ever happening.
alley address????
It'd be cool if coreboot supported the Deck. Hopefully OpenSIL will help with that.
This is the dealbreaker for me. I was looking at earnestly upgrading the screen despite the effort/patience needed to do the swap, potential battery drain, etc. But the fact you need a third party bios flash is the bridge too far. I just want to make sure I don’t run into a situation where they stop support and now I’ve got to swap the screen again.
