## XBOX games are slow on the Steam Deck
Unfortunately on thanks to missing optimizations focusing on the Steam Deck and the hardware is limited in scope makes performance not great. Like most emulators they will get improvements over time and we will follow the XBOX emulators progress with great interest.

## I am having problems with my SD card on my Steam Deck: It cannot be found since SteamOS 3.5
Some users of SteamOS have had a problem since the upgrade to SteamOS 3.5 by Valve.
It changed how the SD cards where mounted and gave them a new path and in some cases this broke the auto-mounting on boot. There are several issues on Valves SteamOS github mentioning this.

This does not only affect RetroDECK but also all games and files you could have on the SD card.
The solution some found was either to reset the entire Steam Deck and reformat the card or to go into Desktop Mode on each boot and click on the card from the GUI to make sure it is mounted.
But these issues might be fixed in a upcoming update to SteamOS.

NOTE: Valve does not recommend users to fix it by editing fstab or using something link Gnome Disks or KDE Partition Manager to do so. This could break other things.
