DildenAnders posted:I just set up Emudeck (which is absolutely insane, I higgly recommend doing it if you want to emulate even a single game) but thr control schemes are a bit janky. What's the tool that allows me to configure all of the controls well? Hit the Steam button when playing the game, then A to see the options for that game. Second item on the list should be your controls settings for that game. Emudeck sets up custom bindings that handle the common problems for most emulators, so you'll almost certainly be looking at a binding set up by Emudeck. Customize to your taste.

 Judgment gave me a little bit of trouble halfway through when it just started freezing for no reason, but switching to an older version of Proton fixed it. I also beat Control on Deck and it was generally fine, but I found the game would start chugging during firefights, especially if I played on battery power.

I'm only in Act 1 and I understand that it chugs the further you go, but so far it runs smoothly enough. What I have noticed is a significant lag between you selecting an action like initiating dialogue and the game actually responding, such that I had to learn to be patient and not reflexively press A again as this then skips the first line of dialogue when it loads. I upgraded my 64GB SSD to a decently fast one a while back so I don't think that's the issue, it's fine to play but it's a consistent gripe I've had to adjust to. Also the UI is friggin tiny, I don't know if it's possible to resize it but I have to wear glasses to avoid eye strain.

Since people are talking about emulation, does Deck do original x-box at all? I can't imagine as it takes a drat decent gaming PC to use xemu, but I wanted to ask.Commander Keene posted:If you still have your Wii U but your Gamepad's battery is shot like mine, there's even a way to have the Deck emulate a Gamepad on a real Wii U. I bought a new pad and a new, first-party battery (much better battery life) a few years ago for my Wii U, which still works quite well. Nevertheless, the above is jolly impressive.

Depends on the game, I’ve been playing Timesplitters 2 through Xemu and it’s fine, though a lot of other games are unplayably slow.

It really does depend on the game. Stuff like DOA3, JSRF, Mechassault, Tao Feng, THPS 2X, and SSX Tricky all run fine-to-playable at native, but Otogi swiftly becomes unplayable when any major destruction happens. Crimson Skies is almost smooth enough to be enjoyable. If it's a multiplatform game, it's probably better to grab the PS2 version or so, since that one can be easily upscaled and set to run in widescreen at a locked smooth frame rate.

I played some Ninja Gaiden Black on xemu and it ran mostly perfect. Only issue is the cg cutscenes don't work (you only get the audio) but apparently that's an emulation issue and not deck specific.

There are basically two original X-Box games that are exclusive to that platform that I'm very attached to: D&D Heroes and ToeJam & Earl 3. Neither of these has ever been ported anywhere else. Someone sold me my first original XBox for £50 shortly after they came out, and my first act was to buy TJ&E3. That's also my favourite version of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, but the GC version is almost as good and runs on my Odin just fine. If it will run on Odin, it's a doddle for a deck.

Also for some reason your offline gameplay doesn't count for the year thing, so idk how accurate mine is since I do a good bit of offline play.

Final Fantasy 12 is a perfect Deck game because it's also a perfect game (except for the lack of intermittent dialogue outside of cutscenes). FF13 is also perfect for the deck, but it has a Lot Of Problems as a game-- most of which were fixed in FF13-2.

Ok so all this talk about streaming has me wondering something. I used to have my desk in my living room next to my TV, made it easy to play PC games on my 65" TV but now my desk is in another room and I miss big screen PC gamin'. Plus my deck syncs with the cloud now and I love the idea of bopping between the two on the same save files. So here's my question: I have a TV, a Deck, a gaming PC in the other room and a hard network connection between rooms. Is there some combo of things I can use (without buying and running a 100 ft powered HDMI cable) to get low latency, 1440p120 from my PC to my TV?

I keep meaning to start Final Fantasy 12. I intended to play through all of the mainline Final Fantasy games this year but only managed to beat 1-6. I stalled out partway through FF7, primarily because I played through it a couple years ago, and then FF16 came out and that goal died. Maybe I’ll continue on in the new year?

So are you saying I'd be able to have: -Super low latency (I'm talking games like Sekiro) -Higher resolution and frames than natively supported by the deck on its own -Bluetooth controller support in my living room Again, I could make this work over a Cat6 cable, there would be no wifi involved. I figured it would lock me at 800p90 though?

Anyone deal with the RMA process if it's been more than a year since shipment? My power button is completely unresponsive, but I've had my deck since summer 2022 so it's out of warranty. It doesn't look very difficult to open it and fix it myself.

They mentioned it was after a year, but that as a customer service courtesy they'd offer it to me. Go for it, see what you can get.

I'm going to have 4K gaming on my TV that cloud saves to a handheld gaming PC that can also stream off my 3080 wirelessly. If this does work that well my Switch is going bye-bye. And yes I realize this setup costs like 3 grand more than just buying a Switch but still, this is gonna be a dope setup. Edit: I may sell all my consoles.

I stalled out partway through FF7, primarily because I played through it a couple years ago, and then FF16 came out and that goal died. It runs extremely well on the Deck. I personally feel like the vanilla game is WAY too easy, so I use the SFF difficulty mod but vanilla is just really excellent-- even if some of the mechanics and choices are a bit bone-headed.
