Oops, link is fixed!!!
And definitely Cemu for BoTW, its like an entirely different experience, and its the same game as on Switch!!!
I haven't ever been too picky with FPS when playing on the Steam Deck, so I'm not the best to ask. They have optimized it far more than the first KCD. And to me? It ran beautifully.
I had zero issues with it.
Speaking of Gameboy on the Steam Deck, have you seen this effort of the GBOperator?
I feel like you'll enjoy that link!
Sadly the price of Japanese consoles went up a heap over Covid, though you can still get some amazing deals with proxy bidding and buying services, if you take your time!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
Drat! I had users complain last time about Boost. It has to be the amount of images / GIF inclusion I have in these, but using Thunder and Jerboa, I see zero slow-down, so it has to be specific to Boost!
The Switch can be a hard one to say. If you get the last release (the 'Early Access') of Yuzu, and you use the GreemDev build of Ryujinx he maintains now (he was a Dev of Ryujinx proper, before it closed shop) - then you'll be totally fine.
Even tricky games such as ToTK have dedicated mod packs like this one known as the optimizer (which is amazing at making ToTK play really well!) which greatly improve performance, heck I even wrote my own mods to make it play well.
I had a vast Switch collection before my Steam Deck, which I then sold because I emulated it all on the Deck so well.
Then you'll find titles like BoTW which play far, far better through Cemu. Cemu emulates Wii U games, and Breath of The Wild on the Steam Deck is perfection - high FPS, higher resultion, mods, you can even tweak how much or how little cell shading you have, or fog on the landscape. It is the single best way to play BoTW.
In the end, I'd recommend a Steam Deck. You get:
- your Steam library
- GOG, Epic and Amazon titles through Heroic or Junk Store
- emulating every system through RetroDECK, with fun things like Retro Achievements, mods, texture packs etc
My biggest two issues I've found on specific Switch games has been Tears, which doesn't run perfectly (but is playable) and Metroid Prime Remaster (there is a literally fraction split-second load time at each door)
I'd recommend the Steam Deck, because it can do so much more. If you have specific questions, you can reach me on Matrix if you'd like!
I wasn't ever much of a fan of achievements, but the last, idk 6 months or so I have been so invested in them. Its nice to check my profile on GOG and see my play-time and achievements logged :)
Comet does all I need to, but I am also looking forward to the upcoming overlay!
You should check my previous weeks of News Posts!
I go into detail on which ones I use to play GOG games, with links and guides and videos etc!
Junk Store and Heroic are my recommendations, they both handle GOG so well :)
*I'm a 'Miss', not 'bro'!
And thanks, that's really kind of you!
I guess...well I've thought of it a few times, but in the end (and don't judge me, hubris coming here) the idea that there might be one extra reason to come to Lemmy - to bring even a few extra people in to the fediverse, well that makes me happy.
Its an over estimation of my posts' worth (I see quite regular down votes), but I like that this is where you'd find my posts.
...if that makes any sense? Anyway, I have considered it many times.
The great disappointment of the Miyoo family has been the Flips! Even the new V2 version looks to be a bit of a mess, though as always with these - YMMV!
I adore my Miyoo, every time I look at alternatives I just can't bring myself to replace it!
Oh gosh, thank you!
Now I'll repeat what I do whenever I post these:
I solemnly swear it will be a full week before the next of these posts
(...maybe it'll be sooner!)
Welcome back to the dark side!
I always find the Decky woes way overblown, they only happen when a major Deck release happens - and even then all you gotta do is reinstall Decky on desktop mode (or wait a few hours for an update).
It never deletes settings.
But, yours looks beautiful now. I esp love the Halo art!!!
Just go to desktop mode, and in the 'pictures' folder, locate your images.
You can transfer them to a USB, or even email them via the browser if you've no USB handy!
The STEAM button + R1!
Though I use the plugin from Decky called 'shotty' with the same hotkeys- it lets me take screenshots inside non-Steam games, which is the vast, vast bulk of my games library (GOG)
Enjoy!
I love the myriad of things I can customize on my Steam Deck :)
I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I'd learned my lesson at the time -__-
Oh no! How'd it happen?
With you RMA it? Or iFixit the screen yourself? I'm sorry to hear, that's sad news.
If you have a dock, at least you can still use it that way I suppose!
Easy fix:
Buy a fitness/smart watch - an older one is fine, why go excessive
Download GadgetBridge from F-Droid/Droidify and then use that instead of a proprietary app which is just harvesting your data and telemetry at every chance:
Oh, its SO easy to do too! (The running of games, not the kissing)
I have never played them, so its really nice for me to have them playable as the best version of the games they can possibly be :)
Enjoy!!!
How did you find Citizen Sleeper? Enjoying it?
For some reason I got obsessed with that, but the recent sequel which by all accounts fixed any issue and should be better...just didn't grab me.
