I must say, it's no where near as easy making stuff work or as bulletproof quality wise as a lot of the videos on the subject are making it out to be. Some consoles are essentially just plug n play, EZPZ, but i'm having trouble finding the right combination of settings/rom formats/etc for stuff like Saturn, Wii, Wii-u, etc. Even the Turbo Duo is having trouble with images I took from my Duo ODE's SD card, some of which were self-ripped and worked fine on the ODE. Commander Keene posted:Wii U is a bit more complicated than other emulators. First, make sure you have the right files, there should be three sub-directories in the game directory (code, content, and meta) and a meta.xml file in the meta directory. If you have a bunch of .app and .tik files you need to decrypt them. If you're on Windows and are somewhat familiar with command line you can use CDecrypt. Also you can find sets of .chds for disc based consoles, I don't know of any mass conversion tool for Windows but as a last resort you could just re-download them as .chds.

This is emulation on every platform and its incredibly frustrating because of how easy everyone makes it look when it clearly isn’t.

Wii is mostly obnoxious because every other game expects a different control scheme or even controller setup and you're going to need to mess with emulator settings a lot, it's not a console you can just rapid fire switch between games on.

chdman is usually distributed with .bat files to batch convert stuff to chd.

Most emulation on the Steam Deck is pretty straightforward, but op is right that Wii and Wii U are tougher for the reasons stated. I've not messed with Saturn much but from what I remember emulating that platform is a pain simply because the internal architecture of the Saturn was so wacky.

I tried making Sega Rally Championship work for a while before giving up. I would also mention that the only emulators I've ever had major issues with are the Retroarch cores and I've had no major issues with the standalone ones.

I tried a few Saturn CHDs, they all ran as expected, with a little slowdown here and there. Even Sega Rally Championship. I don't think I did anything other than put the BIOS files in the right folder. (this was usually the problem for me if anything crashed back to ES-DE on launch) I've only tried a translated Opoona for the Wii and it runs, I don't remember configuring anything. I think it's in WBFS format. I run both systems from RA

Suburban Dad posted:I'm debating replacing the sticks. Not because there's really much wrong except that the left one has rubbed up against the case shell and it feels rough on the edges now. I've cleaned the black gunk off the stick a couple times but it still doesn't feel great. RMA wouldn't be terrible since I can just throw back in the old HD and swap mine when it comes back. Decisions. Decided to just RMA it and maybe buy the stick shaft (wtf is this called) covers and guli sticks maybe later. Mine actually feel like they're gouged from the shell and the guli sticks reuse the same white part from the OEM sticks that is likely damaged. I could buy new sticks and replace it myself but this is what a warranty is for I guess.

With more emu messing around, i've gotten everything except Wii-U and the standalone Metroid Prime emulator to work pretty well. Are there any settings or tweaks (with power tools, or etc) that will get better performance for these things? They run pretty drat well, but there are little stutters and sound cut-outs occasionally on Saturn/DC/PS2, and I can't tell if it's an emulator inadequacy issue or a performance issue. I feel like I shouldn't mess with the deck's internal refresh rate as it might screw some things up with emulators specifically. In the end, these are very playable. I'm actually impressed the most by PS2.

I'm actually impressed the most by PS2. That's probably shader compilation, it'll stop happening eventually once everything's properly cached. Also yeah don't mess with refresh on emulators, they don't work with it a lot of the time. The big exception being systems where you can mod games through the emulator, so the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild has a mod to cap the framerate at 40 so you can set the refresh rate to 40hz without issue. Most of the Emudeck installed emulators should be already configured for optimal performance so you shouldn't have to worry on that front.

If my understanding of the modern emulation scene is correct, of the four systems you mention, three are notoriously difficult to emulate.

This post in the Skyrim Modding Thread and other posts in that thread by v1ld have a lot of info. "Relatively simple" is an exercise best left to the reader but it looks like it can be done.

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/valve-are-finally-fixing-buying-games-on-steam-deck-that-need-a-pop-up/ Newest beta update apparently fixes payment for folks in countries with card authorization popups. Verified by visa etc. It wasn't the worst to buy stuff in the phone app or on desktop instead but i'd always forget it didn't work and end up having to wait for the cart to time out before it went through finally.

BabyRyoga posted:i've gotten everything except Wii-U and the standalone Metroid Prime emulator to work pretty well. Disabling the latter might cause PrimeHack to crash in game if you have a cold shader cache, so my recommendation is to run though the intro cinematic of MP1 (assuming you're playing Trilogy) and once it goes into Samus's HUD you can quit and disable that option. You shouldn't have any issues after that. With those settings MP1 should run at full speed always and MP2 almost always, except for the tail end of a wall jump. MP3 is a bit more graphically intensive though and will slow down pretty frequently when scanning things. For that you can use PowerTools to disable SMT which should give you just enough performance boost to cover that. I'm only a bit of the way into MP3 myself, but so far it's been OK with these changes.

When I have the deck docked I'm having issues with my TV blinking black with the audio cutting out. I read it could be an issue with the HDMI cable so I got a good one hooked up but it still happens. Gaming mode seems to mostly work but desktop mode is cutting out at least every minute. I'm hoping it's not the dock I bought but I don't really understand how multiple monitors works and I've never hooked a PC up to a TV instead of a monitor. Any settings I should try tweaking to fix this?

Also, in a similar vein, my Deck won't output audio over HDMI, either through the official Valve dock or the cheapo USB hub I bought initially. I have to use the headphone jack or internal speakers.

The change to the ICONIC voice acting is a deal breaker for anything other than the original. Edit to add: Also, I am the Wind rules.
