Commander Keene posted:Just wanted to make sure that 45W would power the Deck and a hub and still allow for fast charging on the Deck. I know you and another poster were having a debate a few pages back over whether 100W was complete overkill vs. 60/65W IIRC, but I wanted to make sure 45 was OK. Yes 45W is the most it can take (15V * 3A)

Quantum of Phallus posted:holy poo poo Metroid Prime Trilogy with Primehack is amazing on the Deck. Is there any other custom emulators that really transform a game to be absolutely perfect on the machine? Is there a guide anywhere for getting this set up? Would love to play it but I got intimidated when I tried to do it myself.

Save app list and then the game will be there for you in the Non Steam games section.

Mooktastical posted:I installed Clone Hero on mine. Strumming for my kid while he plonked his way through Iron Man/Easy was actually really rewarding. I brought it over to a friend's house, too. A good time was had by all. I need to install more songs. So I really want to pick up a guitar peripheral or two - is there a consensus among the Clone Hero community as to which one to buy? I'd also like to get my hands on some DDR controllers...

Currently I'm playing Guild Wars 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Pathfinder depending on my level of sobriety. I'm thinking about getting into a shooter next and the recent spat of doomchat made me think Eternal might be a good pick-up, but 2016 is a really good game and I already own it. Destiny 2 would be perfect, but, well. I'm surprised that TF2 kinda doesn't work well with the Deck. The default configuration is hosed; B button opens the daily missions menu?

This has covered my use pretty well. I have Destiny 2 installed on the SD card and aside from a generous initial load time the game runs real good and looks great as long as you’re not expecting max quality.

Enderal runs pretty well on it. I don’t know why it broke before but uninstalling and reinstalling Skyrim and Enderal seemed to fix it. Maybe it really didn’t like me putting it in sleep mode because it froze when coming back up and never ran again.

Good to hear the initial driver problems have shaken out. Maybe this weekend. The shared Windows/SteamOS setup on the SD is particularly neat.

Quantum of Phallus posted:It’s so good that I can’t believe Nintendo still haven’t bothered to do it on switch. Apparently Nintendo has at least a Switch version of Prime 1 finished and ready to launch, for whatever time they think would be 'right' for it. Probably in the lead up to Prime 4 coming out. It's probably a small enough project and Nintendo makes enough money that they can sit on it for however long they want. They delayed that remake of Advance Wars 1 & 2 at the last moment when the war in Ukraine broke out, that still doesn't have a new date and it probably cost more to make than a port of Prime 1, assuming they didn't do that much to the game.

quiggy posted:Is there a guide anywhere for getting this set up? Would love to play it but I got intimidated when I tried to do it myself. If you right-click on the Dolphin/PrimeHack control boxes it brings up a dialog that lets you do some pretty custom stuff too, so you can do things like switch beams with D-Pad but only when the trackpad is pressed, and switch visors with D-Pad when the trackpad is not pressed. I used this to setup a set of key combos for save-states: Y+R1+L-stick direction for save, Y+L1+L-stick for loads. Regarding performance, with the defaults PrimeHack will run MP1 near 60 fps but will drop to 40-50 fps when in open areas like the Tallon Landing Site. If you disable the "Synchronize GPU thread" option under game-specific settings (right-click on Metroid Prime: Trilogy) then it's pretty much a locked 60. The only problem is that you need to actually play the game for a few minutes (watch the opening cinematic, wait until HUD shows up) to warm the shader cache before changing this setting, otherwise the emulated GPU gets so lagged if you turn it on right away that PrimeHack crashes. Once you get it running the first time though it shouldn't be a problem thereafter. It's been working fine for me for the few hours I've managed to play through MP1. Regarding graphics, Dolphin/PrimeHack is CPU bound, specifically it requires high per-thread performance. The Deck's GPU is farily underutilized though so you can turn on the graphics enhancements a good bit. I use 2x Native resolution, 4x MSAA anti-aliasing, and 4x antisotrophic filtering, and I set FSR scaling in the Deck's performance overlay. I also found it's better to use the "auto-adjust window size" option instead of enabling full-screen. They look the same in gamescope, but I found that if a dialog-box pops up it screws with full-screen. Edit: Oh, if EmuDeck doesn't do it automatically for you, you'll need to set the audio backend to Cubeb--or something. By default it's nothing and there's no audio.

Veotax posted:Apparently Nintendo has at least a Switch version of Prime 1 finished and ready to launch, for whatever time they think would be 'right' for it. Probably in the lead up to Prime 4 coming out. At minimum the remaster has to add gyro aiming, and even then trackpad aiming with PrimeHack will probably still beat it. Graphically the Prime games all look great with rendering enhancements enabled. The only real issue is that the textures are pretty low-res. Particularly anytime you go through a transport and it shows the close-up of Samus her suit looks very blocky. And yes, I can't imagine they're actually going to change much with the remaster aside from controls, rendering, and maybe HD textures. Prime was a genre-defining title and got a lot right out of the gate. Anything more they do to it is likely to detract from the experience.

just fired up alpha protocol and it booted right up. had to manually bring up the cursor and select gamepad from the settings, but after that this game, which has been delisted for years, ran flawlessly. no idea what all those needs hollering about flatpacks are talking about, but this thing is magic.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Actually can you do gyro aiming in Primehack? I guess you could also use the "as joystick" flavor and tell PrimeHack to use stick controls if you prefer that instead of the joystick mouse. To be honest I haven't noticed much difference between joystick native and "joystick mouse" look in games that support both. All that said, the trackpad really is the best. It feels fantastic.

Occasionally Nintendo gets it right, or close enough, but then they drop the ball. Like SM3DAS was generally fine, considering platform limitations (no analog FLUDD in Sunshine) but they delisted it for, reasons, and never followed up with a port of Galaxy 2. Relatedly is there any real benefit to Zelda WW/TP HD compared to the Wii versions upscaled?
