I’ve installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here’s a guide.
I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I’m playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??
Like many others, I highly suggest Retrodeck instead of EmuDeck. Not only it is a flawless experience, but having it all packaged in a flatpak means it won’t scatter files around for every emulator which are then hard to clean up (like EmuDeck does, usually).
You got it a bit confused! Flatpak is not a way to store roms, but a way to deliver the software (RetroDeck) onto your device. Retrodeck, once installed, will create a “retrodeck” folder in your steam deck filesystem, which will again contain folders for roms.
All you need to do at that point is to place rom files inside already existing folders for their own systems (psx, psp, etc). Those files can be of many filetypes. For example, psx roms can be in chd, cue/bin, iso, etc
It is as straightforward as it can get!
I … kof! …find, God of War HD collection (1 and 2 remaster.) for ps3. Which ps3 emulator work best on the Deck in your opinion?
Gameboy advance: advance wars & advance wars2
Metroid Prime Remastered plays almost flawlessly on the Deck. Definitely worth trying either for the nostalgia, or because you missed one of the best GameCube games.
The Prime hack trilogy is also very fun, (but a Wii game).
I also really enjoy Zelda a Link to the past Links Awakening, it also works almost perfectly if you use a newer version of Yuzu.
I mean, there used be a webapp that let you run snes rom files from your Google drive (forgot what it’s called), so I have no doubt that a link to the past could run on anything
I’m talking about the Switch remaster of the game. While the Gameboy or SNES versions work, OP asked about Switch games so I only focused on those.
Maybe someone can help me out. I have EmulationStation installed and for GBA and 3DS games, it works perfectly. Zero complaints. The issue is for some reason N64 games won’t work after r a Steam Deck update. Without fail, every single time I update my Deck, N64 games refuse to open. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting… I’ve been able to install an N64 game, add it to Steam, play it in Gaming mode and everything works fine. Just refuses to let me open any N64 game after an update.
-emulation station is just the frontend and doesn’t do any emulating itself. Did you mean emu deck?
-that’s why I always preferred retro deck, which installs as a flat pack over the discover app (basically a form of an “app store”) and isn’t impacted by any steam deck updates
