This is the Day 1 guide we wanted and more importantly it’s the Day 1 guide we need for the ROG Ally X - great video, great tips, great recommendations!
I just want to thank you for this! You made the setup and optimization process simple and easy to follow. I'm always a little worried to tinker with settings on my own, especially on a device as expensive as this one. Thanks again!
I just want to say tysm ❤. Most of this stuff I know and can figure out but it’s so much some is naturally overlooked. I really wanted to start this handheld off clean & organized since it’s ONLY for gaming. You made our lives so much easier ❤. Instant sub my friend o7
Thanks for your support. Yeah there are a lot of little things with windows that just bog down a system or clutter it up. I usually make these guides with remembering my transition to PC gaming and the learning curve that came with. Keep it simple and straightforward to help them get started.
Great video man, I do not own the Ally X, but I watched the whole tutorial. I fully agree that most folks get tripped up by the initial setup of these devices hopefully your tutorial is going to alleviate those anxieties and frustrations.
Great vid for starters mate :) Suggestion / personal preference about the LED lighting while sleeping/ to disabled and also disabling the bios audio when booting up
Great suggestions, I'm hoping people can also check comments for further tips. I remember first starting off with PC gaming and it can be a lot to learn
thank you for your help, I just bought the non-X version, it will arrive in two days and I really needed initial help. Another question I would like to ask you is how do I update the video drivers? the same way as on PC?
Thank you! I think it should be fine. Microsoft has a way of being persistent with OneDrive, so don’t be surprised if it comes back from the grave in an update or something lol
In the optional performance settings, you suggested turning off the virtual machine and disabling the memory integrity. What do these two functions actually do?
Just got my rog ally x and I think their something wrong with my right trigger it feels funny compared to the left and making this noise and it not registering to 100% on the tester and I tried to recalibrated too in armory crate
@@okestgamerthank you! And so my left trigger only goes to about 92 I have to really really squeeze it to get it to 1.0 but Right trigger works perfect everything does… should I return it?
UPDATE! I got on my ally this morning and have constent virus pop ups from allowing that “dead pixel” test! BEWARE! Don’t do it!! I’m having to factory reset my device.
Pro tip to save you tons of heartache@@!!!! Make sure you UPDATE IN THIS ORDER WINDOWS ARMORY CRATE MY ASUS then steam and xbox. Make sure your windows doesnt have any updates pending! I had to delete 1tb to do a reinstall! Was a nightmare!! Again. Updates in that order! Your welcome
@@okestgamer I figured it out ! I guess you have to open the AMD software atleast once before the feature will active. Kind of silly but atleast I got it lol
The main changes are the joysticks and the battery, performance is slightly increased but really it’s those other two upgrades that make the difference.

Not a problem, I'm glad I was able to help
This is very well put together video that every new ally owner should see. Was mighty informative for me.
Glad you found it helpful!
10:00 10% battery gave me the chills.
I live life on the edge

Thank you so much.
Could you demonstrate the full Steam store experience? I'd like to see how to click on any game, install it, and start playing?
I made a beginners guide for the legion go which would be the same steps as the rog ally. I didn’t show full installation but went more in depth

Thanks man, that's what I'm hoping for, and really is the reason I started the channel. Hopefully it can be helpful
This was super useful, thank you.

Awesome quide! Just waiting for my Ally X to arrive 😅
Congrats on the new device!
awesome video as always ❤
Thank you!
You nailed it homie !😊
Thanks man, hope it was helpful for you!
Great video, just subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Best Video!
Glad it was helpful for you!
Lovely video
Thank you!
great video, well put together.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

It should all be done through armoury crate on the ROG ally
@@okestgamer thank you very much!
@@Valeriya_78 no problem
Gracias mane
No problem!
Does it matter if you deleted one drive? I deleted it before I got to the step of unlinking. Great video mate
Thank you! I think it should be fine. Microsoft has a way of being persistent with OneDrive, so don’t be surprised if it comes back from the grave in an update or something lol
Great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Haven't had a single BIOS update showing in that since i got mine over a month ago
That’s so odd, mine popped up right away. Maybe we received different batches, some with the update and some without.
In the optional performance settings, you suggested turning off the virtual machine and disabling the memory integrity. What do these two functions actually do?
That’s what I’m wondering lol for the small performance boost I’ll skip that part
Hi, I just ordered the Ally x and I plan on using it as my pc. I have a question though, which type c port should I use for a dock?
Either one will work fine, you shouldn't see any difference
@@okestgamer thank you for replying, BTW which dock would you recommend? I'll be using a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
BTW, I didn't get an bios update till I updated myasus
That's good to know, I was wondering why some people hadn't gotten it
I'm still on the fence about getting one because of the price for a new one
It's a big investment. Maybe wait for a sale on black friday
@@okestgamer thanks for the tip I'll definitely wait then maybe you have more videos about it so I'll know what I'll be looking forward to
@@devinglover8633 hoping to keep putting some out
I was gonna buy the PS 5 Pro but now I’m buying this instead
Yeah it’s a solid device, you will enjoy it
Wait what how can you add a custom bootup when launching armory crate I want to add a custom one???
Let me link a guide for you.

@@okestgamer Thanks
no, you need to upgrade the ssd, and flash bazzite os on it.
That's another way to go. I keep hearing good things about it
Hey, Does anyone know How I can remap the right click from pressing the joystick in to using a different button?
You might be able to use third party software like handheld companion, it may mess up the controller though with conflicts from the Asus software
Just got my rog ally x and I think their something wrong with my right trigger it feels funny compared to the left and making this noise and it not registering to 100% on the tester and I tried to recalibrated too in armory crate
I would take it back and exchange right away
@@okestgamer Okay
@@okestgamerI got another and it is perfect now ☺️
@@The_Supreme_Savage good to hear, hopefully it remains so
My bios update shows up in MyAsus instead. But when I tried to update it keeps showing asus software manager is busy. Any idea?
Hmm I've never seen that, I wonder if some updates are stuck in armoury crate
i forgot about the core and virtual
Yeah it's a small bump, but it's something
@@okestgamer have you playd hogwarts legacy on rog ally x? i know stutter is a issue in the game but is there any fixes? if you know about it.
So I can apply this to my ally z1e?
Yes the whole guide works for either device
@@okestgamer thanks! What do you recommend to set the ram output at since the ally z1e only has 16gb ram
@Emysta1997 I would go with 6gb
@@okestgamerthank you! And so my left trigger only goes to about 92 I have to really really squeeze it to get it to 1.0 but Right trigger works perfect everything does… should I return it?
UPDATE! I got on my ally this morning and have constent virus pop ups from allowing that “dead pixel” test! BEWARE! Don’t do it!! I’m having to factory reset my device.
Pro tip to save you tons of heartache@@!!!! Make sure you UPDATE IN THIS ORDER
WINDOWS
ARMORY CRATE
MY ASUS
then steam and xbox. Make sure your windows doesnt have any updates pending! I had to delete 1tb to do a reinstall! Was a nightmare!! Again. Updates in that order! Your welcome
Yes doing things in order will prevent extra work. Windows is the main culprit for breaking things so I always do that one first.
for some reason i cant turn on my rsr . what the heck
That’s odd, I’m thinking maybe AFMF and rsr don’t work together
@@okestgamer I figured it out ! I guess you have to open the AMD software atleast once before the feature will active. Kind of silly but atleast I got it lol
@@MrSherman4 oh that’s interesting, well glad it worked out
Wow 🤩 nice but too complicated. Please make shorter videos for each main topic. And talk slowly!
One thing you can try is set the playback speed to 75%. I used to talk slower but people would just click away off of the video.
WHAT A JOKE... NOTHING CHANGES RATHER DO LIKE ME AND UPGRADED THE RAM BY PUTTING 32 GB RAM ☝️🇺🇸🇮🇹🙏
The main changes are the joysticks and the battery, performance is slightly increased but really it’s those other two upgrades that make the difference.
the battery lasts half an hour longer 😂the only thing that has changed is the color 😂@@okestgamer
I did a battery test with the two at turbo mode. 50 min ally, 1hr57 min ally x
@@okestgamer I took the test too.. Half an hour more..
