Rupert Buttermilk posted:I have Dolphin installed for F-Zero GX, and I'm thinking of getting Pikmin 1 and 2 on there as well. Are there any special fan-updated versions I should be aware of? There is a shitload of HD texture packs and widescreen codes or patches. ROM hacks like Pikmin 255 or Mario Eclipse. Undubs and randomizers and whathaveyou. If you want to play the Metroid prime trilogy there is a separate emulator just for those. It's great. I'm not sure what you're at specifically but have you tried F-Zero AX? https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5779/

Somewhat ridiculous I know, but wouldn't also be the first time it happened (lost an MSRP 3080 back in the bad days of GPU scalping due to that). I sold my 64gb model with a 512gb swapped in for 325 yesterday. It sold in less than a day. Check fb marketplace, mine was the cheapest by about 25 bucks so you may be able to get a slight bit more.

MGS3 works and you can mod it for improved visuals. Runs perfectly on Deck. I made a video to demo, read the description for an outline of how to set it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zIv6k2Lhr4 I do not give a gently caress about your likes and subscribes. Don't subscribe, I don't actually make any content. gently caress you.

runaway dog posted:drat how well does GX run on it? It runs amazingly well, but some of the menus are messed up. Not unusable, but the frame for selecting a vehicle isn't lined up at all with what you have selected. Is there even an iso fix or Dolphin setting that fixes that? Otherwise, it's like 98% in line with how it was originally.

I'm going to try to order a limited edition Deck tomorrow. If I'm successful, I'll be selling my 512GB/Matte screen/Hall Effect Stick deck (but it will have the 1TB drive from the new Deck), if anyone is interested shoot me a PM, otherwise it will go on SA Mart.

It was a complete loving shitshow. The purchase page froze when you tried to hit the checkout button and transactions got stuck in permanent "pending" status. I waited for hours hoping my pending order would go through and hold my place in line, but ended up having to cancel it and place a new order, which pushed me back several quarters.

God help me. I'm genuinely tempted to try and sell my current deck and pair of Nreal glasses, just so I can get a slightly fancier new deck. I don't know what stage of capitalism this is but OH BOY it's a beguiling one.

Awesome bit of news, that project I thought was for tomorrow is actually 12-7, which means I might be in front of my wired pc for the noon cst release instead of trying to buy a steam deck on my phone over cell network.

I think people are overestimating how much interest a refresh will be though, sure the LE is going to be hard but I kinda feel like it's going to be easier to get the others, they even said as much. I thought they weren't doing deposits this time?

yeah actually I suppose if they're just straight up taking orders instead of the deposits, it probably wouldn't hurt to have the money ready to go in your Wallet rather than risk having it time out while interfacing with your bank or card provider

Annath posted:They're not doing deposits, correct? So you need to have the full amount on there? They didn’t charge anything extra for shipping for the LCD models at least, it’s just included. Doesn’t account for tax, though. And no, once you load money in to your wallet it’s there until you spend it in Steam, no refunds on that afaik.

Ouch, that's unfortunate. I'm only interested in the high tier SKU if it's the limited edition, if I can't get that I'd rather buy the 512GB OLED. But if I preload money for the LE model and don't get it, I'm stuck with ~$100 in Steam that can't get back to my wallet

On the other hand, it’s not like I’m not buying games regularly enough that it’ll take a while to use it, especially with the winter sale coming up in the next couple months (weeks? Don’t remember if it’s around Christmas or Black Friday)

IIRC shipping was free (included) before and I assume it will be this time as well. Once it's in the wallet it's with Steam, no way to get it back out that I know of.

When do we think the LEs will be sold out by, assuming the store doesn't poo poo itself like last time I'd be pretty surprised if they made it to 10:03 with any remaining.

It's a shame the only requirement to be eligible to buy the Deck is an account with at least one purchase prior to Nov '23. Since such requirements are pretty typical, it'd be super easy to make a bunch of accounts, buy some dirt cheap porn game on each, then reap massive profit flipping things like the Steam Deck. They should have restricted it based on account age as well as a required dollar amount of purchase history. Even the most casual steam user has likely spent at least $100 on the platform over time.

I think the LE sells out, I will be very surprised if the other two do like the original. Most people with a LCD steam deck aren't buying an OLED, and the supply chain issues aren't the same as when the LCD went on sale. i think scalpers will be pretty dumb to try and score much profit off the non-LE models.

I'll say it. I don't like the color scheme of the LE. The front shell looks great, I just don't like the red. I'm still not sure if I'll go 512 or 1tb this time around. I don't know if I care much about the anti glare screen and i can always upgrade the SSD myself like last time around.
