Hi everyone, I’d be happy to assist with your setup. Setting up the Steam Deck recovery image in Qemu via Termux can be tricky, but here’s what you should consider:

1. **Virtual Hard Disk**: Use `qemu-system-x86_64` with the correct VMDK file and ensure it has enough space (your 64GB request looks good).
2. **CPU Cores**: Enabling multiple cores (e.g., `-cpu qemu64 -cpus 4`) can speed up the process.
3. **VMware OS via VMDK**: Your idea of using a VMDK file to boot from VMware is valid, but make sure the ISO is correctly formatted and the VMware installation is complete.
4. **Termux Commands**: Double-check the paths and commands in Termux. The `-hdd` option points to your VMDK, which should work if the file exists.
5. **Reference Link**: The blog post you shared is helpful—follow it carefully for setup details.

If you run into issues with loading or booting, let me know the exact error messages and I’ll help troubleshoot further. Good luck!
