Hi! Great video tutorial. What's the performance like? Is it playable? I don't have a physical GPU in my server so before I get one, I'd love to know more. Thank you

Do these set of instructions still work? I get an error when starting VM (using that SteamDeck recovery image) which says BdsDxe: Failed to load Boot0002 "UEFI QEMU HARDDISK" and it won't even boot to that install screen. Any ideas friend?

[MyEddie]

Hi, I follow your tutorial and work, thanks. But I have no sound, are you an idea?

[issaissa]

Hello, cool, but what game u can play on VM without graphics card ?

The music in this video is not nearly loud enough! You can still barely hear the instructions.
