PS Portal and ROG Ally.
I wanted to have Portable Factions/online from PS end on Portal, but can use it for other games still.
Rog Ally is just windows based for PC mods. Though I'd perfer content creation pipeline/better developed games than mods, it's a service issue.
Got both of these now... Kinda.
Portal is a bag of shit. SO FED UP of it losing connection and me surfing the great purple wormhole to get back in. It seemed to work slightly better at my brothers house for a time, but then was back to normal shittiness out of nowhere, leaving me to ask if the improvement was just placebo or the same odd good stretch I get at home sometimes, because there's no way his Internet is as big a package as mine from the same company etc.
What did I do whilst Portal's Remote Play was shitting the bed and it was a controller-screen shaped fucking useless brick? Why, I went on ROG Ally of course and played the Steam version natively instead of the PS game I was trying to remote play all together.
Unfortunately the Ally I bought quickly developed Left Stick left and right inputs not working (even on calibration screen). Apparently a known hardware issue, so leaves me crapping pants, just hoping I can simply take it back to Argos for a replacement unit. Only had it just shy of 2 odd weeks.
At this stage, the Portal is LUCKY that before Ally's LS broke on me, that I couldn't get it to remote play my PS5 using the Ally's buttons and PS Remote Play app combo, or vica versa that after breaking Ally's LS that I couldn't get the Steam game to recognise the Bluetooth wirelessly connected PS4 pad.
But if Argos fuck me around, then this might become a little docked machine for games that require LS inputs on Alley, and I'll get a USBC to MicroUSB adaptor wire (Ally has no full-sized USB port ffs!) to use PS4 pad on wire with hopefully no hiccups.
This game in particular, WWE 2K24, I always wanted the PC mods for, but if the hacks weren't a thing and I was only needing the portability aspect, like 99% of my other games, then I wouldn't need an Ally, just a non-remote-play-only PS Portable. As it stands, I'm seriously looking at selling the Portal if I can get the LS repaired, and then work out how to use Ally buttons to do PS Remote Play on Ally. All over remote play hiccups/frustrations.
Someone at Sony is a fucking bozo! They could have had an all buttons version of Vita, or one flashed with PS4 OS like 10 years ago. Instead it's been a parade of shit like PSVue TV service which was canceled, phone streaming fan, PC ports, and now a wholly inadequate response to Switch/Deck/Ally & Friends etc.
