the deck isnt outright more powerful. it has a better gpu, but nearly any time you see yuzu choking on a neo w the diagnostics up the gpu still has headroom while the cpu is turbo'd up to 4ghz on a couple of cores and bottlenecking. the deck has the same zen 2 arch running at 3.5ghz max, w 5w less power available.

Quantum of Phallus posted:dunno why you’d wanna emulate switch games anyway tbh Because the Switch has good games and bad performance. I mean, not saying poo poo will run better on the Steamdeck, but I'd love to get my Switch Library running on Yuzu (on my desktop at least) but I have no experience messing with Yuzu and I'm lazy as poo poo.

sigher posted:Because the Switch has good games and bad performance. cool, so you're saying people emulate switch because yuzu performs better than the switch, also it won't run better than the switch, also it's really about the library, also you haven't actually ever installed yuzu.

MarcusSA posted:Does it feel as heavy as you thought? It is both bigger and lighter than I expected. Dramicus posted:Nice, have you also got a switch? If so, are you able to give a rough comparison of how it feels in the hand compared to the switch? Yeah, the Switch is a very good comparison. It's bigger and heavier than the Switch, but, you don't notice it once you get into the groove of playing a game. It just feels like playing the Switch does. It's a good chunk more comfortable, in my opinion, thanks to the more natural controller shape. Downside is it's considerably larger, so if you're taking it traveling, it will take up a lot of your bag space. PowerBeard posted:Nice, how long have you found the battery lasting for you, or do you only test it with a charger? Obviously depends what you're doing. You get a good few hours. Again, it's in the same ballpark as the Switch. The most interesting thing I've done with it is play through some of AOE2's campaign missions. What's cool about it is it hooks into the same ecosystem as the Steam controller for input, so you can take advantage of all of the mappings that people have made for the Steam controller over the years. I grabbed some highly-voted AOE2 mapping and it played great. Or as great as you can expect a M&K RTS to play on a gamepad  Wouldn't want to do multiplayer with it, but single player missions worked great. Playing AOE2 on the couch was a pretty rad experience.

Yeah yeah the fact that we have a handheld device that can play the entire PC ecosystem of games past and present - untold thousands upon thousands of classic games - well that's alright for what it is, but come on, the people want to know - can this thing run Switch games?

I think I'm going to very much enjoy the Deck specifically playing PC-heavy games like weirdo indie strategy and management games.

Rebel Blob posted:How it handles emulation is the deciding factor on if I follow through and buy the Steam Deck. I mean you can see how the current devices do it and maybe add on a bit more performance. Its certainly not going to be a revolutionary emulation device but upon release it should be the most powerful handheld emulation device for its price. The closest units are nearly double the price.

honestly, i know switch emulation will probably be poo poo, I only care about hyrule warriors on the switch (which runs perfect on yuzu), so I'm happy to be able to play my steam library on the deck, and if it can also run hyrule warriors ill be extra happy I already have a switch, i just don't get to use it because my kids lol Happy Noodle Boy posted:This is an elaborate XCOM2 portable platform, if you think about it. tithin fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Sep 30, 2021 |
