Asus ROG Ally - Day Three Thoughts Blog
23rd November 2024
OK, let's try that VR thing then, huh?

-=-=-



I grabbed the Quest 3, grabbed the ROG Ally, connected them together with a USB-C wire.

First, and quite odd thing to note, is that they both wanted to leech power off each other. Not sure what the solution to that is. But if I switched the Quest 3 into Standby, the Ally would leech power from the Quest 3, and if I switched the Quest 3 on, the Quest would leech power from the Ally.
*shrugs*

3 or 4 installs later, and things appeared to be ready to go, at which point I finally donned the headset, and ...oof, it wasn't great.
It "kinda" worked, but it was ever so slow, and looking around caused stutters at the edge of the display. The framerate in general was pretty poor, to be honest.
A shame, really, because that would've been a nice feature to try out.
As it stands, everything got deleted.

Over on SoCoder, TheRevillsGames suggested I try using Wifi Streaming mode, but by that point I'd already deleted everything, in the hopes of getting Steam running again. (That's a whole other issue, I reckon!)
I'll likely try all of that again some other time.
For now, I have Wednesday ALChoon to do, and.. Oh yeah, the whole Advent Calendar thing is due in about 8 days time, so.. \o/yeay\o/..

.. This might be tight, guys!!!

Code : 0/5 - Uhoh!!
Worked : 0/5 - Uhuhoh!!
Fun : 3/5 - Arsing about with drivers and things is bringing back some old "enjoyment" memories from back in the day. .. Though, honestly, the past couple of years of MacOS Only has made me REALLY appreciate how much I didn't actually enjoy doing all of this!
