ATTENTION!!:
Quick note: you DO NOT need a Microsoft account to use the ally. Simply type”USER” for both account name and password, then hit next to start up on a local account. Hope this helps
Would that affect the three months trial for Xbox game pass? I think you might need an email for that. Not sure tho
@@__tebane7it would not affect the game pass because on my laptop I did a similar thing and it still gave me my three months of free ultimate game pass
@@__tebane7you won't BE able to use Xbox Services anyway without a proper MS Account
"Once you've sold your biometrics to microsoft for free" i love this dude😂
So great and true
Pales in comparison to people giving Apple their medical information. Corps have to pay money for that to use and people actually even pay them for it 😂
Help me, i want a device so i can play mostly modded minecraft, which device should i choose????
😂😂😂
So u mean to tell me i can install unity or unreal make a game and walk around and play it? Thats dope! And play five m on the go. I want one!
With windows patience is required, but after everything I’ve delt with on Linux and other windows laptops, this setup wasn’t too bad. Gotta have realistic expectations, the more features you fine tune, the more you’ll be able to do with your Ally.
Yea you literally need to do EVERYTHING in this video to get full functionality/performance out of the system (literally just bought one a few days ago, was INCREDIBLY “broken”/“unstable” out of the box until I did ALL of the above) now it’s amazing :)
as you open the box. the flap of paper that you mentioned, it’s stated in there (with drawings) that the console needs to be plugged into a power supply for it turn on even if its not drained.
I love my Ally. Im a console gamer and this is perfect for me. I dont play pc games really anymore so im used to seeing 30-60fps on my series X depending on the game and as far as im concerned every game ive played on my ally looks just as good or better than my series X pretty regularly
Yeah right 🤣
Agreed. I’m primarily a PS5 gamer, I bought the Ally for portability and also for Steam games and especially for game pass. Microsoft is buying its way to triple A glory and the Ally as well as my AOKZOE A1 PRO will be handling that. So far the visuals on this thing are on par with the visuals on these consoles and that is due to the relatively small clear screen.
@@redcrimson1028He’s not lying. I have one too. It is freaking incredible. Now it doesn’t look as good as my 77 inch oled but no handheld does.
@@user-ln6gm5cd3tboy thats oled and 77 inch God ik that mfer look good asf w though
@@redcrimson1028Oh look, I found an angry poor person
I have a nintendo switch, I game on the go, and I recently bought an Asus ROG ally. One thing I love about Asus ROG Ally, as someone who loves portable gaming, is the fact it has the same charger as my Switch. I essentially need to fewer, and the fact that this console replaces me bringing laptop everywhere, it is convenient.
Wish I had seen this video before I got mine on the 12th, had a rough experience when first booting it up. Should have done all the updates before.
The first thing I did when I got mjne was set it up and did all updates after that so far everything is smooth I also did custom fan curve and my degrees is always 70 or below never over at first with the first custom fan it stayed around 70 to 67 but I tampered with it alot to really see what I could do and got it into 50 and like 63 most of the time
@@nani.df.whats fan curving?
'it's like a game controller, but with a screen in the middle'
Oh Lord. This made me realize that the majority of the audience doesn't know what a Game Gear is otherwise you would have said it looks like a Game Gear 😅
Or any other handheld laid out that way before steam deck.
Makes you wonder how Sega was ahead of its time.
Man, the game gear. I remember getting so frustrated as a kid trying to beat sonic 2 on that thing. Don't think I ever fully even beat the game lmao
I loved my game gear!
LOL exactly man only 80s babies know that 🤣🤣
If you can plug a keyboard in through the USB - C port in first time setup, I think you should still be able to do the Shift + F10 to open command prompt and do the OOBE\bypassnro command to skip the online setup and make an offline account without all of the junk. I get my Ally tomorrow and that's what I plan on doing. It's what I normally do with all of my computers when setting up or installing Windows. Unless a Microsoft account is required for the functionality of the device(it's not) I'd rather bypass it all together and just use a local account.
Was going to comment this but you beat me to it lol
You can also just login as ADMIN and type any random wrong password, then you will have the option to create a local account
Why wouldn’t you set up an online account?
@@AllThingsZz It's not required and it enables a bunch of BS on the computer.
@@SpookyCitrusHD Did it work? :)
When you download them from xbox game passs do you still needs internet to play them or i can play anywhere without connection
nice video I'm going to wait to buy until around dec. or Jan. when all the bugs are out and they have different colors
Very useful my dude
It's only a matter of time before Linux runs perfectly on that machine, and anyone who doesn't care about the xbox service, might find SteamOS to be a much more convenient solution.
you might as well better off with steam deck then.
@@SonicDestiny today yeah, but I want a faster steam deck and valve will not provide it
@@SonicDestiny Are ya kidding? Do hardware specs mean nothing anymore? 🤣
@@SonicDestiny i have both ally and SD, id love to run steamOS on both of them. I only play games i own on steam, no xbox gamepass, so for me, i dont need windows, but i like the extra power of the Ally's Z1E chip
Like the fact that u can use both steam and and gamepass imo..
ty this really helped :)
My device came with MYAsus preinstalled which had all the updates needed outside armory crate ready for install. Way faster than running updates directly through windows. I had only 1 security update to install for windows itself after the fact. The unfortunate side is that much of this is not drawn attention to for the user. Def not user friendly for anyone not familiar with PC. I even had to hook up a keyboard just to finish the windows first boot setup.
Really tempted to get this. As I travel a lot for work. Can anyone give me some insight to the build quality please?
Diablo 4 is out, but all gameplay on the ROG Ally I’ve seen are from early game, how does the device fair when you get to end game and it becomes a button mashing session? 😅
Thanks!
Still nerd help?
This was great!
This April's fool joke ended up being pretty good.
You are doing great Sir
Its a powerhouse it literally play D4, Doom eternal, mass effect Le, wolfenstein new order, amnsesia the bunker 1080p native med/high settings 60fps. These are the games im currently playing. Doom eternal play max settings wirhout RT. Mind boggling performance but use alot of power. I play in 25w mode with pd3.0 usb c 65w output 30k mah powerbank. Its leagues above SD. Super happy gonna keep mine for sure. The dolby atmos speakers are superb and the screen! Very easy to use no hustle, once everything is updated the performance is unbelievable.
It’s not really 1080 though
@@gelul12 1080p
@@powerplay074 upscaled
@@gelul12 On that screen, you can't tell. It's beautiful. Handheld PC game consoles for the win.😀
I mean it dont matter if its 1080 or not as long as it looks as good as that right????
I might experment with tiny11 and see if everything works correctly when i get mine
I got mine yesterday... now I need a dock, and a memory card recommendation.
Preferably something that is available world wide (never bought the Steam Deck as it's not available in Norway).
The setup process was similar. Did not have as many apps, MyAsus did have some drivers that where not provided by Windows Update and Armory Crate. And I needed MyAsus to get the touch screen to work again after Windows Update failed.
Either the 512 gb Samsung evo pro or the 1tb sandisk extreme pro … I have both and they load/perform almost the exact same!!
I change mine with a 1 tb inside an probably get a 1 tb micro mini
Swap out the 512 SSD and get 2tb minimal. Easy Peezy. Just make sure to completely up date everything first. And I do mean completely. NOTE: do not upgrade from the 317 bios. I hear the 319 is garbage.
@@blacknine Would be great. Sadly I am not able to get a 2TB version in the 2230 size over here. And 1TB is just not worth it at this point.
Im so excited can't wait to get mine very soon XBOX AND STEAM LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🔥🔥🎮🔥🔥❤🔥❤😊
Been wanting a gaming pc that’s on par with a ps5 or better for a while since my laptop broke and I do wanna make a full move to pc eventually.this just might be oerfect and on top of that I won’t have to worry about playing old games with low fps.
True true
5:33 and crank those fans. Turbo with the default fan curves runs hot as hell
What would you say to have the settings for on turbo?
@@RomesOTL I mean with the speakers going or even headphones you can crank the fans up to 100% no problem. But in my quiet room test the fan speed gets noticeable somewhere between 75-80% so I set the 60C-80C range at 75% and haven’t gone over 80C at 30W. But just it case it goes over I bump the fans up to 100% at the 90C range where it throttles
may i ask a simple question just how do you pause and then re-start when playing a game on the ROG ALLY?
Any tip of why the buttons not working? And one of the joystick 🕹️ lights it off and won’t respond to the buttons, only the touch mode works
Dont you need MyAsus for things like Battery Care?
For updates also etc...
Yes No one should delete MyAsus its also good for getting Driver Updates If Armory Crate doesnt work
Got mine yesterday I have a 2TB 2230 nvme drive coming today.
I specifically play bo3 customs and beamng monster jam. This handheld is literally a dream come true. Picking it up today 🙏🏼
How is it for bo3 ?
Quick question, I’m trying to play city skylines on My Rog ally. I downloaded the windows 10 version and the Steam version. The controls don’t work at all on the Steam version and they stop working randomly on the windows 10 version. I have no idea how to fix this.
I returned mine. Zero regrets it was way too slow for me considering the hardware it has. I customized everything and did all the updates and this thing was so slow at processing anything. Happily returned it.
I’m returning mine tomorrow.
What a letdown this system has been!
I think that most ppl dont understand that this is an 780m graphic card with a super overcloaked gpu. This is basically 2013 technology but made into a smaller factor now. From what i see, most likely we will see a very big leap in 5 years or more where they might catch up to something close to an GTX 1000+
Sloooooow ? 😮 This is the fastest Handheld available lmao i use Mine as a normal gaming PC :0
I like your CZcams plaque. I plan to get one someday. :)
I got a question, i was thinking of getting the Rog Ally for christmas. I was wondering do you need a PC or laptop for it? Because i dont have one.
No you don’t
I wish I could put a dedicated gpu into this device expand the battery even if i need a custom back case and some upgraded cooling.
2:29 Probably a bug since I clicked the option to start fresh and it did not load the files from my laptop and desktop which is what I intended.
Anyone know how to set it up so the right stick works and all buttons are right for cod warzone? Run it on battle net but just can’t get the controls right. Doing my head in
DON’T DELETE MYASUS, key updates are in there
Thank you
@@adamvillanueva2387 happy to help
Yeah something told me this was equivalent to deleting the system 32 folder for the rog ally rofl
Somehow when I start certain Steamgames or LoL the controller doesn't work do I have to setup every game completely manually? 😅
Question. All is "set up" for gaming. But why my shooting doesnt work while i sprint my account in counter strike example? Just when the character doesnt move it shoots, dafak? Moving is set up on the joystick on the right and shooting on the back button BT.
Can anyone tell me how do I remove the real time monitor extra info? All I wanna see if just FPS, I don't wanna see the GPU CPU etc info all that stuff too
I heard the new update lowered the performance fps in games are they fixing this on a new upcoming update does anyone know?
Same here. I need to plug into a charger to start for the first time.
Having a problem with real time info showing on my unit. When I hit the button on quick access it just shows a translucent box with no info. If any1 has any idea why, please respond
I'm getting it for my birthday so I'm curious I play on an Xbox series s so do you think I'll be able to keep my progress
Of course that’s kept in the cloud.
Yup and aye if you need help or tips or anything I'm here to help ik how it is switching from console to pc it can be overwhelming lol
@@nani.df. hey man! Quick question, I am getting a Non extreme Ally for my birthday. Am I really missing much on performance? Will I be able to do the same as in the extreme version but at lower fps?
the my asus app does bios updates which is kind of important on such a new device and board so it is probably worth it for a lot of people to keep it
Nah armory crate does that right?
@@HawkNocturnal mine didn't i finished all my windows and armoury crate updates then the next day i opened my asus to find out about a few more driver updates not in armoury crate for some reason and a bios update.
It's stupid for asus to do things like this but companies doing stupid shit isn't anything new and sadly wont go away any time soon.
@@AnxiousDavidngl I went on their siste for the bios update lol but them finally decided to make a acc for my asus then finish the extra updates not from windows
It's just like setting up a new computer...
How can we get Armory Crate to recognize games from an SD card please??
How can you use keyboard and mouse with it plugged in?
I think I might get the Steam deck instead of the Ally no hate to the Ally at all it's awesome but when I close my eyes and envision myself with either of the two I imagine the Steam deck I know it's less powerful but something about the steam deck is just so appealing I just can't explain it
Its from all that steamy goodness 😋
you cant go wrong either way, and if i had to choose to only keep one, id probably keep the steam deck. it just feels higher quality all around. buttons, joysticks feel better and steamOS is amazing. i feel like ill wear out the ally and buy a newer device and my steam deck will work until the end of time
Just remember the ally just was released and the steam deck has been out for awhile. If you can wait like a month or so because you’ll know with updates if the ally is going in a good direction or bad.
I had a steam deck and sold it so I could get an ally. The amount of incompatible mainstream games on the steam deck due to Linux steam OS is insane. I couldn't play majority of my normal go to games because of Linux and I was not going to buy windows11 just to fix valves incompatibilities . Ally fixed all of that and more. As much as windows 11 is unintuitive I'd still pick it over steam OS given its compatible with every game and steam OS incompatibilities are growing, not shrinking. Valve still has not gotten 3rd party anti cheat software to work and I doubt they ever will
@@PierreJeptha uh, what? literally everything you said is factually false... every game ive tried to play (which is MANY) 'just works'. Other than a few anticheat games. and some anticheat games have actually started working recently as well. The number of games that steamdeck/linux cant run is 100% shrinking and will continue to do so. i truly am baffled that anyone would claim incompatibilities are growing??
Can anyone help,the left that moves the character does not work on steam games, checked In mw2 and apex legends,any help
Little cuestion!!!....how upgrade the bios??
Welcome to another episode of can't afford, still watching 🙂
My xgm3080 will come in handy!
im in the market for either this or a laptop for playing wow. Would the ROG ally be worth it if i set it up with a dock with mouse+keyboard to play wow ?
Yes
I personally would say go for this but it's all up to you
Mine did not require any updates out the box….is that bad???
This video has inspired me to just get a steam deck lol
Mine isn't pulling up the options for wifi to get the setup started what do I need to do
how to get the frame rate gpu etc in screen ?
I just got mine but it does nothing at lets connect you to a network screen...
i think the rog ally is perfect, but it should have a larger screen and possibly be able to have 5G? otherwise i am fine, i could just use my phone for my rog ally to connect to a hotspot
Honestly with how good the screen is amd it being 120 hertz it's actually good with the ally
I received my rog ally 3 days ago and when I opened xbox app there was no free subscription for game pass and they told me that I have to pay, Idk why .
Can u help me on this?
First thing one was in ur email when u bought it
Someone please, why don’t I have any options under commander center. It’s blank. My biggest problem is I go to play a game and it AUTO switches between desktop and pad mode on its own.
I’m considering an Ally because I’m a PS 5 gamer but more and more XBOX and PC titles look interesting to me, Starfield in particular. Starfield CAN run on Ally yes?! 😂
Same boat. I'm mainly a PS5 gamer However, it looks like Microsoft is buying their way to triple-A glory so my R.O.G Ally will be handling that.
Yes it will be able to
Bro get it lol if you need to know pros and cons I can help as a console and pc gamer I can answer questions for you
So we don’t need the my asus app that comes installed I thought that was where we got some of our firmware?
It is! DO NOT DELETE
You need that bro
@@rawdiggitydogfrl bro needs that bad
I'm having a problem with the screen side buttons, they are not functioning as they should be. Nothing opens. Any idea?
I actually haven't heard this before from anyone mine works fine but did u update everything? Bios, windows my asus and armory crate?
If so check armory crate for customization to set up the stuff
Final if that doesn't work u have two options hard reset and try that or return it bc urs is disinfected
I love how it’s titled how to setup it up for gaming and not HERES ALL THE FEATURES IT HAS FOR GAMING
Would be cool if there was a phone app to download to use SIM cards
Do you have to be around Wi-Fi to play the games
I was wondering what all that crap was on the desktop. I’m like did they install this thing with bloatware 😅
😂😂 w comment
Hi can the ally screen replaceable
Any video on a alternate way to connect a egpu to the ally 😏
What about driver updates?
How dos rog ally compare to aokzoe a1 pro
Myasus isn't unnecessary though. I'd keep it to keep updates going.
🤔do you have to custom set your controls every game? I tried borderlands, bf, and old mw2. Almost none of it works for the first than the last game only my right as looking around no shooting either
Hey there, do you have any advice or tips for games? I bought a load of games through steam but most aren't playable...something about controls etc so frustrating
@@stevenxa3956 couldn't say. I honestly returned this a day after i got and made a rig myself.
I got mine two days ago…
Haven’t opened it…
Do you have to pay for a windows account?
Somebody pls lmk how to make my rog raikiri remote compatible with the games in the ally 😢😢
Let's go 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it, but I'm still lost. Just got my Ally and going through the notorious bazillions of Windows updates. When I am finally ready to play, with all those settings within armory crate, I feel like a I am going to be very overwhelmed.
is the 3 month game pass for people that have game pass already ??
Does it have usb port
My games wont load up. Just stays on the launching screen. Does anyone know how to fix ? :/
The Man
Wht u mean by “ behoove “ uninstall., where do I go
Bro the whole update thing took me 2 minutes
I know this device supports Asus’s proprietary xg mobile GPU but this is UFD Tech soooo... when are we gonna see crazy m.2 egpu experiments like we saw on the deck and ps5 😂
Just came outa few days ago give it some time to see if they going to support this better or not
How do I get my buttons to work like they're supposed to? Buttons dnt work when i play a game. Works when in-menu but not in-game. I'm so fukn close to returning this shit
I heard you shouldnt change the refresh rate.
My Xbox app doesn’t want to load up can anyone help
Only reason I'm buying this is cause you can buy it at your local best buy unlike the Gpd aya or steam deck can't buy at a local store
I heard you like updates, so we gave you updates for your updates
Does this support playstation games ?
Would you sell your steam deck for the ally?
I did and have no regrets!!
Ill sell mine
@@rodgadala just the screen, sound and GamePass make it amazing - Xbox app is so nice, and man M$ is bringing it with games, if ABK closes how can I not have GamePass 🤓
I can't belive i forget about windows upgrade XD
How is emulating ps2-3 games like on it?
as far as I know it's pretty good
I'm looking at building an emulator out of a mini pc, and seeing the performance I can get for 50 bucks, this thing better be able to handle them flawlessly.
Seen people emulate PS3 games on the ROG Ally
I hope I can get one from the giveaway 😊
👍
Didn't update and ran games at 40fps and was mad
"Once you've sold your biometrics to Microsoft for free" lmaooooo
