How can I delete save data from the Steam Deck? I quickly loaded up Balatro yesterday but never really took all the tutorials in so wanted to start all over again. The game doesn’t let you delete the save so I’ll need to do it through the deck itself, can’t seem to find where I would do this though :?

You should just be able to delete it from the cloud.

How do you access save files in the cloud? I can’t see an option on the Deck to see what’s saved?

Does anyone use a grip cover with the SD? Seen some on Amazon and wondered if they actually make much of a difference when playing handheld?

I believe you can see everything on this link.

I just had a problem with my deck. It wouldn't turn on just got the fan going and nothing on the screen. Managed to get it back by leaving it with the fan going until it ran out of battery and then plugging it in.

Did you not hold down the power button until it hard reset?

Yeah it wasn't working.

EDIT: To be honest I think my power button might be a little bit strawberry floated. It stopped working and I sprayed IPA into it to loosen it up.

Can anyone help me with how to get 2 Bluetooth controllers to work with Duckstation PS1 emulator? The pads are synced fine to the Deck, and SNES games through Retroarch work no problem, but no matter what I do on Duckstation it wont let me start a 2 player game (all the games I have tried have had 2 player option greyed out, indicating it is not seeing a second pad connected).
I have rearranged controller orders using the quick access menu, enabled and disable multitaps etc but nothing works.

A good mate of mine who now lives abroad is coming back to the UK and we were hoping to relive some of the classic PS1 days, but I have run out of ideas....

Saw a post suggesting that you set up and configure the 2nd controller and play through Desktop mode rather than gaming mode?
Not ideal but worth a shot.

Thanks for your reply - truly appreciated.

I think I saw that post at about 11pm last night when I was tearing my hair out with it (my work blocks reddit so can't be sure). I think that's the one where they then elaborate to say that it then causes an issue when playing over bluetooth where the circle button pauses the game? If so I can confirm I tried this and found the same problem. I could not find anything to suggest why "O" was bound to pause when trawling through hotkeys, but it was late at night. Plugging the controller in won't be an option for me (which fixed it for the Reddit user) because we will be playing on a sofa some distance away. Maybe I will reinvestigate that avenue this evening though.

Thanks again.

Yeah that's the page I found. :D

Certainly you should be able to pick up a longish USB cable pretty cheap as a last resort at least.
Hope you can get the BT sorted though.
