For the record, it's toast.

It gets recognized by my computer as something, but it can't read the drive and it is unable to be reformatted or anything.

Bummer, but lesson learned. If anyone out there has a Deckmate, be careful with putting the SD cards in the slots and then having it in the steam carry case.

Good call. Going to try with the expansion card thing it came with

Wow, they really pack that stuff in there. Truly is amazing that such a tiny little piece of tech is hundreds of MB!

I'll try it in a normal-sized SD carrier card, but I think it's probably toast.

Thanks for those images, super cool!

I suppose there's no harm in trying to seal it up and give it a whirl

Can't that be done with a steam link though?

I 3D printed some. I'm going to modify one so it slips over the Deckmate's kickstand.

I assume there are buyable versions, although I didn't find any in a cursory search just now

Kickstand of some kind is really nice. And the belly stand things make it more comfortable to play laying down. Nice simple additions, but useful in the day to day

Depends on the game, but there's going to be written sectors no matter what I would think. From Save games to generating terrain in things like Minecraft. It would be interesting if they could do a paired folder thing where all the writing would be done to the OS drive and read from the SD.

That being said, I think the wear will be much less than on the RPi since it's not running the actual OS off of it, not that I have anything to back up that theory...

Meh. It's fine in the browser. Wonder what they'll do better than that
