Call of Juarez Gunslinger is really good on deck. The art style looks really nice on the little screen. Runs at at a solid 60 of course it better it's old as hell.

I have no idea what speed is in my switch and I think it's been working fine but I'm overthinking this time There's not really a big performance difference that I'm aware of. just go with a decent manufacturer like samsung or sandisk and you shouldn't have a problem.

Any U1 card from a decent manufacturer should be fine, the only things that really get faster if you go up are write speeds but that isn’t going to matter once the games are installed.

People say there's a noticable load time improvement with U2 and U3 cards, but I wouldn't expect the difference to make anything unplayable.

I've only encountered about 5 games that have a noticable difference in load times between the SSD and the SD card, so imagine differences between cards will be even less noticable.

Works for me, the 512GB U1 SanDisk cards were marked down to 40 bucks on Newegg so I just grabbed one of those

You won't see a difference between SSD and this when you're playing games. The faster SD cards are on the market for photographers. E: Beware of theoretical speeds

If I'm using an SD card just for classic PS2 and older era games it won't really matter what speed I got right? It should still be faster than the original disk or cart medium, or in the carts case probably just load the whole thing into ram

I just wanna say that I got RDR2 in the sale as I've got a 20 hour flight coming soon and I figured some chill cowboy action would be a good fit. I'll also very likely have a working plug as I'm flying business. I played it a bit on PS4 when it first came out but got sidetracked and never went back. I just tried it out on the deck and I'm absolutely blown away by how well it runs.

Besides that it does play great.

The easiest to get running is probably x-plane 11. You can get Microsoft Flight Simulator running well on it too, but it takes a lot more work and you need to install windows.

Ugh my jsaux dock appears to be malfunctioning. The video has been cutting in and out or not being recognized. It was fine until this afternoon. I took the deck out of the dock for a while and hoping it will look back to normal now that I've reconnected. None of the connections felt loose.

I hate MSFS2020 running once, and it wasn't all that bad but I have no clue what happened since and it just crashes. This was the native Steam version too going through Linux.

I am considering buying a Steam Deck, but I want to use it as both a retro-game emulation device as well as a Steam Game device. Do I need to mess with dual-boot shenanigans or "jailbreaking" or whatever to do so, or can the Deck natively run 3rd party programs such as emulators?

There's no modding involved. You just switch the deck to desktop mode and install it like you would anything on Linux. I am not a Linux user and I don't even have a mouse and keyboard and was able to do it.

I honestly don't know why you'd even buy a Steam Deck if you weren't going to just gently caress around setting up increasingly broken emulators and ports

I didn't have a gaming PC for literally years, and this January my wife and I bought a gaming laptop. It was great, except for the fact that we had to share it. And now we don't.

In the past I'd spent more time hacking consoles / pirating games than ever actually using them. Nor had I purchased anything on Steam for distaste of the monopoly that admittedly they have yet to abuse. Now I give Steam money and spent time gaming. Incidentally my dream of finishing a computer game and publishing it on the Switch has taken a hard pivot to a different export target.

As other people have said, it’s just a PC so you can install programs on it just like you would on a PC. The EmuDeck thing everyone talks about is a single install script that’ll install all the emulators you need, set up their file structure either on an SD card or the internal storage and configure everything to optimal deck settings (in theory, some of its default settings are a bit off). It also includes a program called Steam Rom Manager, which sets up non-Steam game shortcuts to your emulated games so they show up in the Deck’s gaming UI like any other game. You might occasionally need to do some janitoring to keep it looking nice but you can have a main screen like this.  The version of Ocarina of Time there also isn't emulated. It's the native PC port that can run at 40fps, has all the randomiser tools built in and can use texture packs so if you want it looking like the 3DS version instead of the N64 one you can do that. Super Mario 64 also has a native port, and I believe people are working on Perfect Dark. The Wii U emulator Cemu also has mods for some games that will let them run at the Deck's native 16:10 resolution. So you can have Breath of the Wild running in native 1280x800 at a locked 40fps. njsykora fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Nov 28, 2022 |

Are there any good ways to get the various streaming services (Spotify, Netflix, HBO, whatever) on here other than the web browser? That works but it has some limitations, and I'm gonna be on a trip in January where I'd love to leave my other devices behind.

Right click it in the “start menu” and choose “add to steam” to get access in game mode. It will multitask with games, but getting the audio mix can be annoying. There’s a plugin for Decky that puts media hot keys in the “3 dot button” I don’t know anything about HBO and Netflix on Linux, but usually DRM makes that a pain.

I've had an issue with Ressonance of fate where the game resolution will not fit the screen, it makes it so I can only see the top quadrant of the image, plus when the game is booting I notice there's some resizing going on because I see a blank window for a split second, none of the override options seem to do anything also.

Since it was on sale, I spent an entire $4.25 on Vampire Survivors since everyone here slobbers all over it. It just looked like a Robotron / Smash TV clone so I never bothered with it. loving hell, I've never been so wrong. You guys are directly responsible for my massive plunge in productivity.

This may be a bit obscure even by the standards of this thread, but has anyone ever gotten a MUD/MUSH client running on the Deck? I'm super unfamiliar with the Linux software scene but it looks like Mudlet is the client of choice. Would it be as simple as downloading and installing it in desktop mode?

I also thought it would be dumb but since people raved about it and it was pocket change pricing I decided to try it and there went several hours of my life pretty much immediately. I’m still only scratching the surface I’m pretty sure, I’ve managed to clear the first area a couple of times and unlocked a few more plus some of the evolved weapons. It’s a lot more fun than you’d expect given the premise.
