Things like ROMS are probably fine on an SD card since those are pretty much write once and rarely (if every) change after that.

It’s crazy how good doom eternal runs on deck. Strangely way better than doom 2016. What are some other nice looking, recent-ish AAA games that run effortlessly on deck? Like 60fps at relatively high settings. All the RE engine games seem to run really nice too.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Is it just me, or is there a huge lack of really good themes? I'm using Outrun with the dark blue and pink scheme, which is great, but other than some theme based around Persona, a game series I've never even given any thought to, none of the themes really stick out. Square tiles I think. I agree though, most of the themes and sound packs and poo poo are total garbage.

Can anyone vouch for the current MGS Collection experience on Steam Deck? Not too much sticking out at me from this sale but I definitely think I could be swayed by that.

WH40k Space Marine is on sale for a touch over  . It's the updated version so I have no idea how much they goosed the graphics, but something that originally shipped on the 360 should be a solid fit for deck gaming.edit: protonDB gives it a gold rating, installing it now on the deck. Will report back if it sucks.

So with EmuDeck, I get that you put the ROMs in their appropriate folder, do the parsing, and it adds them to your Steam Collection. For EmulationStation, can I just stick the ROM collections in any folder so I can launch them through Emulationstation and it won't pollute my Steam Library with thousands of SNES games?

Vlaphor posted:The new version of Proton Experimental is supposed to get HDR working on THPS 1+2, but it seems only for the Steam version. I have the Epic version running via Heroic and still no dice. Tried a bunch of things and it will not activate on my SD Oled. Went ahead and bought the Steam version for $15 on the sale. It also works offline, and I'll need that later anyway. Had to turn HDR on and off a few times in game for it to work properly and not look like a washed out mess, but it looks real good, and I don't mind playing through THPS 1+2 a third time.

The Steamrommanager or whatever program you run separately from the emudeck installer is the part that adds emulation station and any roms you choose to Steam. You can add just emulation station and not pick any of the other systems and it won't add anything else

As far as managing files between OSs, I just use syncthing. Plus I don't have to deal with copying files to an intermediary drive which saves time.

You have to put the ROMs into the folders the EmuDeck installer specifies, unless you want to manually change the settings in EmulationStation. Putting the ROMs in those folders will not add them to Steam. Despite being launched through EmuDeck, Steam ROM Manager is a completely separate program. History Comes Inside! posted:I will never use emulationstation when steam ROM manager adds them to collections grouped by system anyway, it’s just an extra layer of abstraction nobody needs I don't use them because I exclusively use the Favorites collection to manage my games on my Deck. I don't want to have to tab around to get to the games I want to play.

Yeah I use Syncthing for my ROMs and it works great. The getting it set up right caused me to replicate a few folders within themselves, but just because I wasn’t paying enough attention and it was easy to remedy.

Even though the bastards never go on sale, I was going to get the first Dragon Quest Heroes game (already have both on PS4 disc). I just looked and it says that both are not compatible with Steam Deck, so never mind. Given their age and relative unimportance, I won't hold my breath.

Don't trust steams rating system. DQH is rated gold so it should play decently well. Get decky usually and install ProtonDB badges to your deck and you can see your whole library and how compatible it is.

I know Doom Eternal's engine can play all kinds of games with variable resolution rendering to keep the 60 FPS target. Enabling the in-game metrics will show that. While Steam's family sharing with a friend's account I got to play the Dead Space remake, and it barely ran on Steamdeck, even with lowest settings.

Halls of Torment might scratch that itch. It's basically still a vampire survivors clone, but more of a Diablo 1 feel to it. It's not on sale but it costs the kingly sum of $4 full price.

Modding Unity games: There's a bunch of wrong info floating around about using the Unity Mod Manager's DoorstopProxy method on the Deck or Linux, which some games need (PoE2 Deadfire e.g.). Just add the following line to the game's Launch Properties (right click the game, then Properties, Launch Properties should be bottom of right pane): WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winhttp=n,b This will work for any game you want to use UMM with under the Deck or Linux in general. Just add that line to each game's Launch Properties. If you're not using Steam with Linux, you'll need to do the equivalent config in Wine to let winhttp.dll override Wine's dll.

I can’t recall which guide I used because it was a while back but I just searched “Skyrim mods steam deck” and got simple instructions to install Vortex mod manager and SKSE. It went really easy given it was my first couple of days with the deck. I was also able to sort out the motion sickness I was getting from it with a couple of mods - which was weird because I never had that problem on pc.

Looking to play a Final Fantasy game - never played the franchise other than maxing out a job in the FF14 trial. This was pretty fun but I don't have time these days to do an MMO at the level I'd get into it at. Basic googling says it doesn't matter where you start but curious if there's any that the steam deck plays better. Was looking at the 7 remaster, 10 and 10-2, or 15. Really daring choices I'm sure.

It's also extremely on-rails in a more apparent way and has some goofy voice acting. Still one of the better ones. It's also 20 years old. FF7R is the best pick of these three you should play it. FF15 is a chill af game with a boring snoozefest of a combat system but an overall extremely cinematic presentation in the latter half and is also very pretty overall. It starts out extremely open-world and then transitions into a very on-rails experience with little explanation of what's going on. Still sticks the landing. If you want to play an old-school FF game, I'd recommend 5 or 6. 5 lets you pick your jobs, 6 doesn't.
