That sucks dude. The RMA process is reliable at least.

Until then try the old magic. Flash neighboring pixels and gently massage it.

Thanks, I've already tried that site for about an hour - no dice. I'm reluctant to apply pressure to the screen because that would just give Valve a reason to deny the RMA if it goes wrong. I'll probably just keep it for another day or two (apparently stuck pixels can magically resolve themselves sometimes), and then suck it up. I've waited for months, the extra 1-2 weeks won't kill me, right? Right? Seems like I got the "good" fan and buttons too. Oh well.

I wish I had a delivery date, the European shipping company doesn't provide anything like that. My Deck has just been stuck in Denmark since Friday with no updates since :argh:

ugh, kena blew out my fan. now, when it ramps up it starts a low secondary noise and vibrates the whole deck. tried opening up the thing to clean the fan and check the screws on it but no effect. ifixit never has the fan in store on the european side, so i had to order a replacement from a random ebay-seller. hopefully it wont take forever to get here. atleast it should be the better model compared to the delta made fan i had in there.

How does it compare to the 3ds version?

It’s still the N64 version to its core. But there’s a whole menu of toggles, cheats, stuff like that. The folks behind the port made a very clever video explaining everything in it.

There’s more enhancements shown in this video.

As for the person who asked about actually getting it to work on Steam Deck, it’s a pretty simple process. I had zero problems. The biggest hurdle was finding a debug rom, which can be found very easily by just googling the file name it shows in the video. Then it’s just a matter of dragging and dropping on the file.

I made it to Dragon Roost Island on the GameCube version of Wind Waker. One thing that was bugging me was that the Cube version has the horizontal axis inverted on the c-stick. A quick fix on Steam Deck, very pleased with that. But then I got the titular Wind Waker and realized that with the stick setting changed, left is right and right is left. I’m thinking I might go with the Wii U version for that and the other QOL fixes. The only thing giving me pause is that it would be a single screw experience. What’s the reality of playing WWHD on Steam Deck like? It was a blast on actual hardware but it doesn’t seem like a great single screen experience. I was never fond of 3/DS emulation solutions.

Just watched the video because I have never played OOT and my deck is arriving soon. It's cool that it's possible, but I cringe when I see all the steps required to make it happen.

I know the Steam Deck's desktop mode can be intimidating, but being able to load up every previous Nintendo generation's games is one of my favorite things about my Steam Deck. I haven't quite dumped all my Nintendo Switch carts over to my Deck, but I'm eager to have my entire Switch collection available on my deck.

I need a 1.5/2 TB MicroSD.

If you've got a USB hub with video out, you can actually turn the Deck into a legit Wii U.
  • Enter desktop mode.
  • Launch Cemu.
  • Make sure the "separate window for Gamepad screen" option is checked.
  • Drag the main window to the monitor/TV screen and maximize it.
  • Maximize the Gamepad window on the Deck screen.
  • Check the full screen option for the main window.
  • Congratulations, you now have a Wii U!
It's honestly the best way to play Wii U games besides official hardware. The need for a TV or PC monitor reduces the portability factor, but the Wii U was honestly less portable so it's fine.

Also, iirc Wind Waker is one of the games you can play without the second screen, you just need to set up Cemu to fake a pro controller and not a Gamepad.

One of my planned Deck use cases is to use it as a dockable emulation console and I am 100% planning to use that for Wii U stuff.

You can also do something similar for 3DS emulation, but since Citra doesn't have an option to separate out the 3DS screens to different windows it's a more involved process that requires you to manually edit an ini file to make the display for the top screen the size of your monitor and the display for the bottom screen the size of the Deck screen, then adding together the resolution of the monitor and Deck to trick the emulator into displaying the bottom screen on the Deck. I got it to work, but since I still have a 3DS in perfect working order I think I'll stick to real hardware on that front for now.

Anybody ever had issues with primehack recognizing your controller? I get to the main title screen and it tells me to push A and brothers, I'm pushing A but nothing is happening. I'm stumped!
For PrimeHack you have to setup a controller configuration through the menus since the default uses a literal keyboard/mouse layout. Maybe EmuDeck prepopulates this, but since I installed PrimeHack manually I had to set one up.

Then, once you start the emulator you have to "click the mouse" and press a gamepad button to actually get Dolphin to focus inputs correctly. Notably, I've found that Dolphin won't recognize the analog triggers until you press one of the other digital buttons, but once you do the triggers should work then-on.

Also keep in mind that the "A" button is probably mapped to the R2 trigger since that's the beam fire button on the Wii remote.

There does appear to be a bug in Dolphin that if you stop the emulator and restart it, it won't recognize gamepad buttons bound to hotkeys, which breaks my mapping for save states. Quitting and restarting PrimeHack fixes that, which is mildly annoying but not something I do particularly often. It's a bigger deal in regular Dolphin when switching between games.

Primehack assumes you're using the trilogy collection on the Wii and not the GameCube versions too, that tripped me up with regards to mappings
PrimeHack supports both GC and Wii versions of Prime (Trilogy). There's a separate controller configuration though for the GC controller. Maybe EmuDeck doesn't ship a configuration for that.

It does. No extra setup necessary when installing PrimeHack through Emudeck. I only had to do some minor fiddling to invert the Y axis.

Almost everything older is best run though ScummVM which has a native Linux port and a port for just about everything else, as it's about as heavily ported as Doom. Shouldn't matter where you buy them as long as ScummVM has support for it, anything outside of it's scope will probably run in DOSBox (some setup may be required) but Windows-only adventure games are more per-case.

I’ve had moonlight glitch out occasionally and refuse to start a game (some message about drm), requiring a reboot. I imagine it’s due to nvidia game stream not always properly cleaning up stray processes after a streaming session, so there ought to be a workaround.

It is very hit or miss. Some games run way better than they do on the switch, some of them don't run at all. Here is the yuzu list for compatibility:

I've not had any problems with gog exes. Patching them I've not figured out yet (It doesnt find my install directory). The only real annoyance comes after installing "pc" games and then having to figure out setting controls, but most games have user created presets.

Correct. The only thing you really lose out on without the gamepad/tv interaction is being able to access your inventory without opening the menu.

CEMU also has graphics-packs that do things like lower the bloom and add some additional color (WW:HD can be washed out looking sometimes).

The bloom update is a god-send and makes the game look much more pleasant. The color thing is more hit and miss, some areas end up looking overly saturated.

Are you using in Game Mode or Desktop? I've been mostly using Parsec in game mode, but reading some comments say it introduces more encoding/decoding lag in Game Mode. I can try it in Desktop later.

I bought Okami HD yesterday and it plays great (well, aside from the 20 minutes of incredibly slow story text before you're allowed to touch the controls) except that the game only fills about 2/3 of the screen. It's inside a big black frame on-screen. Fiddling with resolution in-game didn't do anything. Anyone experienced something like this?

I am running All Of The Point and Click Adventures. Its GREAT.

For gog games I'm preferring lutris over heroic launcher and it's mostly pretty seamless. KQ1 for example runs directly, although some need some fiddling through dosbox, whether the one included in the gog launcher or via lutris' own dosbox / scummvm or other emulator packages. (Last Express)
