Hopefully this'll work on the new fold. Give us some sort of software parity with Samsung for multitasking on foldables.

You may already know, but just wanted to report that the megathread is down.

Edit: Back up

I'm not sure if I did this right, but here it is! This is the script to run on moonlight launch, just reverse the numbers for your script to run on moonlight exit.

The instructions above worked well with the exception of the script. Make sure that the iddsampledriver folder is on the root of the C: drive. and make sure that Multimonitortool is inside that folder.

You'll have to switch the numbers in the script with your monitor values. You'll get those from MultiMonitorTool. Open MMT, right click on your monitor, click properties, and the value you're looking for is under "Name"

@echo off

:: Path to MultiMonitorTool.exe set "MultiMonitorToolPath=C:\IddSampleDriver\MultiMonitorTool.exe"

"%MultiMonitorToolPath%" /disable \.\DISPLAY1 "%MultiMonitorToolPath%" /enable \.\DISPLAY21 "%MultiMonitorToolPath%" /setprimary \.\DISPLAY21

So after sitting down and setting it up, I found that on my setup the script above didn't work for my machine. I had to set up my own scripts that specified the path of the executable, and then I used a command that toggles the monitor instead, it worked much better that way.

But scripting aside, now that it's working, it is beautiful! Set it up for my living room TV to be a 4k 120hz virtual monitor.

  1. install sunshine on host (and needed programs: moondeckbuddy, ViGEmBus)

  2. download and install virtual monitor on host, save files on folder C:\IddSampleDriver

  3. From Windows, open display settings and configure the new virtual screen with the steamdeck resolution 1280x800

  4. download multimonitortool From nirsoft and unrar files on C:\IddSampleDriver folder

  5. install moonlight on steamdeck from desktop mode with discover app

  6. pair moonlight with sunshine

  7. from first time run multimonitortool, and write down the names of the adapters, you should have a virtual monitor with adapter IddSampleDriver

  8. write the following cmd scripts in C:\IddSampleDriver folder, note the display names are same From multimonitortool gui (this can vary From yours)

Steamdeck-on.cmd

cd C:\IddSampleDriver
MultiMonitorTool.exe /enable \\.\DISPLAY9
MultiMonitorTool.exe /turnoff \\.\DISPLAY1
MultiMonitorTool.exe /turnoff \\.\DISPLAY2
MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary \\.\DISPLAY9

Steamdeck-off.cmd

cd C:\IddSampleDriver
MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \\.\DISPLAY9

  1. Configure sunshine to run scripts when stream is launched and finished, inside Configuration -> General

now every time you launch a game in stream through moonlight + sunshine, the script Steamdeck-on.cmd, will turn off the “real” monitors you have, turn on a virtual monitor with the steam deck resolution, put this virtual monitor as primary and the game will launch and stream from this virtual monitor.

When you finish the game session, the script Steamdeck-off.cmd will disable the virtual monitor (you can add commands to turn on real monitors)

I hope you find it helpful.

Here's hoping they make a great product. I usually like to wait till a 3rd Gen product before jumping in, but I'm missing the versatility my Galaxy fold 3 had. Love my pixel 7 pro too, really looking forward to getting the best of both worlds.

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 2 points 7 months ago

Hopefully this one will be more stable than the last two updates. I think I'll wait to make sure they didn't break anything with this one. Personally I didn't have any issues, but I'm on the lookout now.

That's why I check back in every so often. I would love for it to be my main browser again, but they just have to polish those rough edges a little more.

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I used to. I used Firefox as my daily browser for about 10 years. Desktop use there really isn't any significant difference, but I find the mobile experience for edge to be better.

I check in on Firefox every six months or so, and while feature parity is mostly there, the way they implemented the features just don't feel right? Like they're kinda backwards sometimes? It's hard to put into words, but they are different, and I prefer the way they function in edge.

Personally, I've been asking for this for years. Very excited to see this mostly for ublock origin. But there are a few other extensions I use daily that I'd like to have available.

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 3 points 8 months ago

That's correct

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 1 points 11 months ago

Interesting. That does make sense, but I agree. That's my biggest gripe about it, don't say it's device exclusive when it has nothing to do with the device.

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm glad people are catching it early. I said the same thing when pixel 7 pro came out and it had "exclusive" features. These tensor chips are not vastly different from each other, no reason that these new features won't run on all of them except for greed.

My favorite is the new one with pixel 8 pro where it sends the video TO THE CLOUD to edit it and then you download it back, but it's an exclusive feature? Make it make sense.
