Make your own external Steam Games drive // TUTORIAL 

Wizards are always watching.

I'm actually more of a Wwwyzzerdd if you get my meaning...

You say it

I see he knows my mum as well, didn't know people enjoyed throwing hot dogs down a hallway 🔥but to each their own I guess 🌭🕳. 😁

Thanks buddy. We played Shredders Revenge on the deck. BIG hit with the kiddos!

Don't make me blush 😊

That is a freaking awesome setup. Wish I had decent internet, but I'm at the mercy of Starlink :/

Good point!

Yup, your game saves are on the drive.

My favourites 😘

Yeah any formatting that windows recognizes will be fine. You can definitely also put retrobat on it!

From what I've read online, one reason external SSDs exist is because they have been designed specifically to deal with the heat generated when it's operating. Internal SSDs and enclosures should work fine provided the enclosure can deal with the heat.

Yes you can move the files over, but there is another file you will need to get called appmanifest (in the steamapps directory). Each of those appmanifest files corresponds to a game, and the number at the end of the file is the game's number on the Steam store. So just make sure to get the appmanifest for the game as well as the game files in the 'common' directory. Otherwise you will have to reinstall the game, although you probably won't need to re-download it because it will detect and verify the files, but if you get the appmanifest at the same time you won't have to do that step.

@TechDweeb thanks for the quick reply. Im going to set up an external drive for taking to friends or work (if it's a slow day 😂) love ur videos, keep them coming.

@@danielwaters3188 I mean you didn't buy the game in the different account

Woah slow down there GANDALF!

@@TechDweeb I am Gandalf the Troll! Your channel is special and wanted you to know. And although people tend to be reserved in Canada, where I am from... well, we do not have a word for "subtle" 😂

Same method will work with Chimera OS! However you can't bring the drive back and forth between windows and linux PCs

Nope! Sorry but that's not true. I did it exactly as I showed in the video, and I've done it multiple times like this, and it works as I showed. Give it a try! And don't worry about the typos. I make typing mistakes when I'm upset too :.(

@eeb well my problem is that windows can not start any games if i did not verify intregrity. so i use local network transfer in steam. or i have to right click on 800 games. to just scan it to replace the main executable.. and system restore usally breaks my games so i i have to rescann intregity after the games have been scanned and reconfigured to that windows.. it needs to be cracked in order to start on any windows if its not downloaded or transfered. even if just connecting steam drive to another pc.. and this is just because windows is diffrent than donwload source in installation 2.if its not cloned. and its the truth have been using my steam account for 16 years now.. also did try backup restore and that did not work. some titles is not combatible and it has bugs like donwloading transfering never finnishes. and the games need to be installed to start in offline mode and launched once. so i buy a huge drive and use connectify hotspot and just connect them togheter and transfer them if you have slow speed i have 18 tb drive and have used 13 tb and it takes months on 20 mbit locally a week and they dont always transfer locally if i dont use insternett on 1 computer in another in connectify hotspot and this is correct way

Nice shot

Nope. Wizards only.

We all must make little sacrifices.
