I got Mario Galaxy on my steam frame standalone running 120 fps, and can run next to it Discord and Youtube im mind blown. 🤯 Sorry SadlyItsBradley i really loved to use that video because i watched it and now i have the Deckard <3

Hey guys, I was working on this since I received my Steam Frame for personal use, but since Quest2Frame was taken down I wanted to share it.

The app tries to be a simple wrapper around already published tools and includes various utilities. It can:

1. Patch apps built with the Quest SDK to work on the Steam Frame

2. Apply game specific patches (similar to Morphe/ReVanced) to improve compatibility

3. Sideload Android and PCVR apps onto the steam frame and add them to your library

4. Automatically attempt to manage ReVive for PC streaming of oculus games

5. Allow you to manage files on your Frame (like FrameDrop but totally local)

6. Adds a keyboard button to let you enter input from your PC into your Frame

I obviously can't test every app published, so please give it a try and let me know if you have any issues or suggestions!

Dongle NEEDS windows. The dongle just freaks out when you plug it in on Linux. No date given on when will work.

Update: Windows is required for dongle streaming. WiFi steaming works fine.

Like the tittle said. The frame is good for me.

Picture Quality is amazing tho I bumb the resolution up to around 200% (same as godlike vd).

The latency and responsiveness is freaking amazing coming from a pico 4 user.

I see a lot of people complain about the brightness being very low but that's certainly not the case with mine. Looking directly into the sun in star citizen is extremely blinding.

On the matter of star citizen. I need smooth nothing or asw or something like that. But sadly I can't seem to get that to work. (Steam said it's not supported).

Controller straps are okey but are not based on the knuckles. It's more directly over my hand but in that position it's fine. Button layout is something I need to get used too.

Software wise it's a bit of a shit show the steamframes own settings and the steam vr settings look exactly the same and some work together and some don't which made backtracking tweaks sometimes kinda difficult.

Tweaking in general seems next to impossible since all settings are or mega hidden or just not exciting for what I can see.

Ow and steam please give me an fps overlay. Now I had to buy a separate app for a basic function.

This could be in flat games and VR games or both

I played a indie game called axiom verge, it’s a very low graphic SNES style game, looks great in the headset btw

But I noticed it was saying the frames battery life only had 28 mins of life left even with the battery at 50%, and I thought no way this game can cause that much battery drain

I turned on performance overlay and noticed the game was completely ignoring steam OS frame rate limiter, even if I turned on vsync in the actual game settings didn’t matter, the performance overlay was showing the game running at 900-1000 fps killing the battery life, it could be doing this for other games as well even VR ones

Edit: I’m running Steam os stable not beta

Both packages represent an SKU that can be purchased

Hello! I have been working on this project for a while, and I wanted to show you guys an update! Right now it may not look so good, but I have been working on some things that could fix it. Sadly, I don't have a frame devkit, so I can't finish it once I get the mono -> color finished. But I am working on it, and I will try to implement Steam Frame features. (I was banned from this subreddit so your won't get any responses) if you want to see V3 go here https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamFrameValve/s/yo6pHtVkz8

I've been seeing a lot of posts from linux users and screenshots from Steam support saying that the steam frame and the dongle is only supported on Windows. While that might be the case for the current steam machine software; my Linux desktop has been able to run everything well! NVIDIA GPU & kde plasma 6 wayland, SteamRT3 client, Steam VR with legacy steam runtime, nvenc hardware encoding, steaming dongle and multilink all working. Very impressed with the latency and stability of this experience. I wanted to share my experience to all the skeptical Linux users who haven't received their frame yet, you can get it working!

-Open the Arcturus Vision Camera app to be prompted to install.

Shoutout to Komino for getting us through in the meantime!

I was downvoted to oblivion in another thread for stating that Virtual Desktop would bring its Android standalone app to the Frame once we could. Reading the comments, I realized majority of people are unaware that 99% of experiences that are currently “Steam Frame Verified” are Android builds that run through Lepton or they are Windows x64 builds that run through Proton & FEX.

Unity (used by 95% of VR games) doesn’t even allow you to make builds for Linux Arm 64. Unreal can target Arm 64 but it is still recommended to target Android at the moment to get the best performance. This is from Valves documentation:

We currently recommend targeting Android to take full advantage of optimizations tailored for mobile hardware.

When app/game developers bring their experiences to Steam Frame, it’s almost guaranteed to be using some sort of emulation layer. The only exception to this is probably HL:Alyx since it uses its own engine. AFAIK, there aren’t many VR apps & games that don’t use Unity/Unreal.

Thought I’d share this piece of information. Take care.

EDIT: installer now creates an assPod shortcut in your (+) Launch Program menu, so you can launch the player without needing to launch the liquid glass theme.

Also added an assPod nano.

Has most of the functionality of an iPod Classic. Plays in the background too! Just updated as part of my LiquidAss theme.

A few days ago I said this thing sucks. So I had a crack at two of the things it was missing.

FramePlayer plays your videos right on the Frame from a microSD card up to 8K, flat, 180°, 360°.

Chromium XR: a Frame-native browser that opens WebXR games, including passthrough experiences, VR and AR. 

To install, open yellkell.com/frame on your Frame in native Desktop Mode, download the installer and open it. One click installer adds them into your steam library under non-steam games.
