Now that the Switch 2 Gamecube emulation has proven to be utter dogshit, I think we should consider superior alternatives.

You lost tranny

>>712770015 (OP)
I have a steam deck and I can confirm that Gamecube emulation is dogshit on it too

>inb4 tendies come in seething
Let's clear up some misconceptions about the Steam Deck.

>it barely outsold the n-gage!
Now compare the Deck to other PC handhelds and you realise it dominates the (very niche) market. Why are tendiesnoys crying about sales when the Gamecube exists and got mogged by the PS2 at the time? Are they just hypocrites? Also, Valve clearly sees the Steam Deck as a live experiment. Sales are second to SteamOS and Proton (the main products).
>but it's weak!
Handhelds are always behind home hardware. Steam Deck = 1050ti with a Steam Controller bolted on. Also the Legion and Ally exist and you can install SteamOS on them if you really need to play post-2020 AAA, and if you want to avoid raping your battery, Moonlight exists. You do own a PC right?
>but you don't own games!
You don't have spend money on Steam. You can install DRM-FREE software from GoG/itch.io/DLsite/torrents.
>but physical!
Locked down proprietary cartridges are just as bad as software DRM.
>but Nintendo games!
Obviously Nintendo hardware is going to be backed by their IP - their only unique selling point. I don't expect to ever run Mario Kart World on the Steam Deck, ever. But you know what I will play? Everything else. Even Deck Verified alone mogs the eShop, and don't get me started on PC exclusives that you can play with the minute it takes to set a Proton version. Emudeck completely mogs NSO, and you don't have to pay a subscription.
>but the resolution!
800p is fine with 7.4 inches. Higher resolutions will strangle the battery, which is bad for a portable.
>but Switch 2 Cyberpunk!
Stuttery 30-40fps on 5 year old game. Cool.
>but Linux!
Valve fixed it with Proton. Fuck Windows 11 and Epic Games.
>you're a jeet shilling!
The Steam Deck is LITERALLY SOLD IN FIRST WORLD NATIONS ONLY. Meanwhile jeets line up for Switch 2 as we speak.

Are there any more arguments? Or can we all agree the Steam Deck is based and the final solution to the console problem?

>>712770501
didn't read you lost in 1 day of sales

>>712770501
I don't want a 'final solution' I want different platforms that have their own vibe and unique games. Everything being on PC has been a disaster for the current console gen.

>emulation
Wii can play GameCube games off of an SD card now

>>712770859
You lost when Switch never beat PS2.

what's "wrong" with it other than the online? I swear you steamtrannies still act as if those n64 games never got patched lol

>>712770501
why is this so obviously photoshopped?

>>712773889
Horrendous input lag

>>712771367

>Deck
Hardware made by a Sweet Baby collaborator shouldn't be supported.

>>712774068
proof?

>>712774243
I had to scrap this character because I forgot about drop rates being tied to section ID but we're back in action now boys

>>712771367
Based, it’s how I play GC too
You got component cables?

>>712770305
Maybe if you're a stupid faggot, maybe. Dolphin is one of the most accurate emulators.

>>712770175
fpbp

>>712775698
I do, HD Retrovision restocked them recently. They look really nice (especially for SNES emulation), but my TV freaks out when I try to put it into 480p. Is it possible for a TV with YPbPr inputs to not support 480p or is there something wrong with the set?

>>712770501
TL;DR? I ain't reading your leftist meme.

>>712776601
>Is it possible for a TV with YPbPr inputs to not support 480p
Of course, basically none of them do unless they're some professional "monitor" that was intended for studio use. Old CRT TVs support 480i (in NTSC regions, 576i in PAL) and they can run in 240p as well. These are all 15kHz video modes, other 15kHz modes may or may not work depending on the TV but 480p is 31kHz so it's absolutely a no-go. If you want 480p then look for PC VGA monitors, all of them should be able to do that (but VGA isn't YPbPr, it's RGB).

Anti-nintendo falseflag. The two devices aren't competitors. Who fucking chooses a device based on the gamecube games you can play? Stop trying to force umpcs into console war bullshit, SEAmonkey

>>712777036
Gotcha, thank you for the write up! I also have a VGA monitor and I love it

???
In what way?

>>712775939
Accuracy isn't the problem, it runs like shit on the meme deck.

>>712770015 (OP)
It was always going to be superior, even if the Shitch 2 Gamecube emulation was decent.

>>712779154
can your fisherprice tablet run cod or modded minecraft?

>>712771367
It could do that years ago retard.
but why would you use a WII when you have Dolphin.

Webm doesn't do it justice either. Full video of his experience is here

>>712770305
i have a steam deck and can confirm this guy is full of shit

>>712774243
that's not as big flex as you think it is, he's playing it with wii, I played this game on modded xbox

>>712771101
I also miss interesting and exciting console hardware but its gone. It's not the PCs fault that consoles transformed into boring, shitty anti consumer PCs. Iwata era Nintendo is dead and Nintendo was last holdout from just making pcs with a corporate logo stamped on them.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained from playing a sony game on playstation or a nintendo game on a switch, everything would be better if it was on PC which is not a place you want to be when charging a premium for your dull hardware.

>>712779154
Boy you sure didn't last long before outing yourself

I'd rather emulate a console that isn't shit with a library that isn't shit, personally.

>>712780297
Sorry but we don't play shitty games on Nintendo-sphere

>>712770175
Fpbp

>>712786195
Could you repeat that again?

>>712770305
i have a steamdeck and this is a seething tendie making shit up.
