Is it good for emulation?

>>715688295 (OP)
yep. check out emudeck.

>>715688336
What about switch games, especially ToTK?

>>715688391
runs at around 20 fps, not a enjoyable experience
also give it back jamal

>What about switch games, especially ToTK?

>>715688295 (OP)
Real PCs are better

>>715688785
i don't like gaming at a desk and the switch is overpriced bing bing wahoo garbage

>>715688295 (OP)
Runs anything from before PS360 like buttah. Can run PS360 emulator but with varying results. Also can do SOME switch emus but not that well.

Fuck if it isn't based for PS2/GC emulator tho.

>>715690259
Isn't switch emulation good if you're only running 2d games?

>>715690481
Game by game basis but mostly yes.

>>715688391
>Switch
Many games run fine at 60fps (or 30fps if they're 30fps games), but anything 3D that's too complex will run at 40%-70% speed.
But, you're better off buying the SteamOS version of Lenovo Go S or whatever it's called. It has 10%-18% better performance which should make more games playable.
Or just live without the more demanding games for a while and wait for Steam Deck 2.

>>715690481
It's fine for 2D, yes.

>>715688295 (OP)
I had a PSP and it was alright, and the Vita was much better and I really liked it.
How does this thing feel? It seems so huge and uncomfy.

>>715688295 (OP)
You cant play Gran Turismo 4 on the pcsx2 emulator.

Some tracks run fine but certain tracks like George V pairs and twin ring moutegi don't run well.

How easy is it to install GoG as well so I can play games I bought there? Do I have to get the offline installers from GoG and transfer them to Deck and install them manually or can I just get the app?

>>715695336
Heroic game launcher is probably the easiest way of getting gog games on it. It has an option to add gog games as a steam shortcut as well.

>>715695735
Thank you!

>>715695336
Very easy. There's a lot of ways to do it. I just installed protontricks which allows me to run exes using a specific prefix. So you can add the gog setup file and then install the gog dlcs using same prefix

>>715688295 (OP)
Yeah, it's great.
Gonna finally beat lost odyssey when xenia gets better.
I got it to launch a game, but it was hacky.

>Is it good for emulation?
depends on how low you set the bar
any modern games will run like shit, the only games you'll comfortably run are ps2/gc and below
the steam deck is essentially a low budget laptop so don't expect much

>>715694212
>It seems so huge and uncomfy
it is, most people play it with pillows/desks because it's terrible to hold for more than 15 minutes
also it gets hot and the fans are noisy

>>715696821
how old is that guy?

>>715696516
I'm going to try this as well, thank you!

put your 'ick on it

Anyone got some experience using lossless scaling in steamdeck? Does it work well?

>>715697015
Apparently it does work to the point where they stopped keeping track if it works in individual games: https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/wiki/List-of-successfully-injected-games

But it's still considered experimental, especially outside of Arch Linux and distributions based on it (SteamOS).

>>715694212
It's easily the most ergonomic thing I own to play games off of, then again my favorite controller is the Xbox DOOK so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>715688391

Don't know TOTK but Monster Hunter GU runs perfectly at 60 fps

>>715688295 (OP)
Max comfy for PS2 and GameCube in bed. Same could be said for a Rog though.

>>715688391
should've got a switch 2, it runs ToTK at 4k 60fps
the deck runs it at 20fps 720p

Pink is just a better color. I hate it that I can't use pretty pink gadgets cause people will think I'm a tranny or homosexual.

>>715697602
don't worry, people already think you're a tranny no matter what's your deck's color

>>715697015
I tried it but it introduces too much input latency. I though I could use it for games that are already at 50-60 to minimise dips but it just adds uncomfortable input latency. I haven't experimented much so maybe I'm missing something but even in YouTube videos for this I can see delay between button presses and actions. It's very gimmicky

>>715697590
Switch 2 has 2 games, no thanks

>SAAR PLEASE REDEEM STEAM DECK SAAR!!!

Hilarious, that zoomer hairdo with the fine lines around the mouth and eyes and general 30 something appearance. He's probably 25-27, but zoomers age like shit, so they look hilarious as fuck hanging on to their teen hairdos. And they accused milleniGODs of never growing up.

>>715697590
no one wants to drive on intermission tracks
no one wants to pay 20 bucks for 60fps
no one wants to play cyberpunk at sub-30fps
no one wants to buy censored games on the eSlop
no one wants a console with no games (yet)
no one wants to subscribe to a shitty gamecube emulator
get that through your thick head bingslopper

>>715697590
The switch 2 runs at 0fps in 99% of games while the deck runs at 60 to 90

>>715698195
*All* frame gen adds input latency. It literally can't work without it.
The way frame gen works is it delays your display output by 1-3 frames so that it can generate fake frames and show them to you first.
The problem with Lossless Scaling is that it's frame gen is at minimum a 2x, meaning it will add a fake frame between every 2 real frames. So, half of your display output would be fake frames. It sounds like you want just a small extra boost in fps, so you'd probably want something like a 1.25x frame gen (currently unsupported afaik). It would still give you input delay, but it wouldn't be nearly as bad since only 20% of your frames would be fake compared to 50%.

But, it also depends on what kind of a frame drop you're experiencing. If it's caused by a CPU bottleneck, or if the game logic is tied to the render loop (it is in many games), frame gen can't help you with that. Your game will still stutter.

>>715698598
I genuinely can't tell if he's like 20 or 45.
>And they accused milleniGODs of never growing up.
This is really funny for me, some zoomer who was like 15 years younger than me thought he was older than I was a couple of years ago. And I haven't visibly aged that much since then.
Millennial women aged poorly though, if I ever see old female friends again I know they'll hate me.

I wonder why this is, since previous generations aged quickly too.

>>715688295 (OP)
I've emulated on it for 500 hours now since I got it so I would say so

>>715688391
>switch games
I only tried pokemon eevee and kirby and both games ran flawlessly, can't say about the rest.

>>715699250
Thanks for clarifying. In which case it's kind of pointless for my use case. I tested on nioh 2 which pulls 60 very well but in dlc areas I notice dips into 50 or so. On deck I don't think I'd really use framegen in any capacity but I guess its nice that the option is there for potentially slower paced games

>>715688391
ToTK runs like ass but most other games run at 60 fps like Odyssey.

Portability is the future Consoles and PC will die playing all the games of the world in your bed is the future long live the Steam Deck and Smartphones

>>715696821
>it gets hot and the fans are noisy
it doesn't get hot on the spots where you place your hands, unlike most other handhelds, so you feel the heat way less.

The noise is not even about being noisy, it's about one of the two variants of the fan being higher pitched. I got the higher pitched one, bought the other one for 5€, switched them in 20 mins and now it's not noisy anymore. And this was with the og deck, the new one is probably even easier to switch, or might not even use the higher pitched ones.

ITT: delusional shitlennials going
>I STILL GET CARDED BRO
looking like this

tears of the kingdom runs like as so you're getting the true nintendo switch experience tho
