<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">'''Steam Deck''' | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
'''The steps below must be repeated every time SteamOS updates. It is recommended to use the stable branch of SteamOS to avoid having to repeat this as often. You will also be given a new IP.''' | |||
Please note that installation of ZeroTier One on the Steam Deck will require usage of the terminal. If you follow these instructions exactly, you should have no issues.<br> | |||
: 1. Open the terminal, by opening the '''Application Launcher''', then '''System''', then '''Konsole'''. Alternatively, you can open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.<br> | |||
: 2. First, a password needs to be created for heightened permissions. Do this by entering the below command and following the instructions. | |||
<pre>passwd</pre> | |||
: 3. The SteamOS needs to be made writable for programs to install, so enter the command below. Enter your password, and it will be done silently; if successful no error messages will be sent back. | |||
<pre>sudo steamos-readonly disable</pre> | |||
: 4. Next, the pacman manager needs to be installed to allow easy installation of ZeroTier One. Enter the two commands below, one after the other. | |||
<pre>sudo pacman-key --init | |||
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux</pre> | |||
: 5. If done successfully, you will get a message stating '''appending keys from archlinux.gpg'''. Allow the process to finish.<br> | |||
: 6. After the above finishes, type the below command and confirm the installation. This will install ZeroTier One. | |||
<pre>sudo pacman -S zerotier-one</pre> | |||
: 7. After installing ZeroTier One, type the two below commands, one after the other, to boot ZeroTier One, and have it start on bootup. | |||
<pre>sudo systemctl enable zerotier-one.service | |||
sudo systemctl start zerotier-one.service</pre> | |||
: 8. To double check you're connected to ZeroTier One, type the below command. If successful, you will receive a message back similar to '''200 info [ID] [version] ONLINE'''. | |||
<pre>sudo zerotier-cli info</pre> | |||
: 9. Type the below to connect to the PSP2i ZeroTier One network. If successful, you will get a message saying '''200 join OK'''. | |||
<pre>sudo zerotier-cli join b6079f73c6cd58c5</pre> | |||
: 10. For security, it is recommended that you make SteamOS read-only again by typing the below command. This is not strictly necessary, however. | |||
<pre>sudo steamos-readonly enable</pre> | |||
Now that you are connected to the PSP2i network, you will need to do some setup in PPSSPP: | |||
# In PPSSPP on the home screen, click on '''Settings''', then '''Networking'''. | |||
# Change your settings on the page to the following: | |||
::: '''Enable networking/WLAN''': On | |||
::: '''Change MAC Address''': Make sure to click this at least once to get a random MAC Address. This only has to be done if it has never been done before. | |||
::: '''Enable built-in PRO ad hoc server''': On | |||
::: '''Port offset''': 1100 | |||
You will need to make a note of your ZeroTier One address - you should be able to find this by clicking on '''Change PRO ad hoc server IP address''', then '''toggle list''', then scroll down until you see an IP address that begins 172.23. If you are unable to find your ZeroTier One address in this manner, open up the terminal again and type <code>sudo zerotier-cli listnetworks</code>; your managed IP address will be shown at the end of the resulting message. | |||

If you ever wish to disable the ZeroTier One service, use the below commands: | |||
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">''' | * <code>sudo systemctl stop zerotier-one.service</code> - This will stop the service. | ||
* <code>sudo systemctl disable zerotier-one.service</code> - This will stop the service booting up on system launch. | |||
