This Could Replace Every Device I Own - Massive Steam Deck Emulation Review

I am really happy i did not buy the Steam Deck and waited for the Asus Ally to arrive :-) because there is one feature that instantly is a "reason to buy" without asking for any other features: The XG External Graphic Card Port. While it's true that the Steam Deck replaces PS2, PS3, PSP, NDS, SNES, Gameboy etc. it does not replace one thing and that is a Gaming PC. Hooking up an external Geforce 4090 XG however does replace a Gaming PC maybe up to 80-85%.

waiting steam deck 2 to emulate ps5 and play gtaVI

I ended up going with the Legion Go because of the size and it was a bit more powerful but I was so close to getting a steam deck, but honestly both options are so good especially for emulating. But the community & valve are really on top of things, im excited to see them release another steamdeck in the future.

are emulators free on Steamdeck? would like to upgrade from nswitch

wanted to buy switch lite since tyey are right now discounted to 150€ on amazon but then I googled and I realized my old phone is just about able to emulate switch at full speed hahaha

I recently bought two steam decks. The 1TB OLED and the cheaper 64gb LCD model for my sister. (she wanted my switch and I said nah)

Installed Emudeck on both and we’re having a great time. She’s playing 3DS games and PS2 like it’s nothing and doesn’t mind the screen or refresh rate.

Valve have really done something amazing with this device to have its cheapest model the same price as a Switch OLED.

whos wanting this on steam deck? I am

Shopping these for $200 today.

Thanks for the info

If you like nintendo to fk you, get a switch.😂

How do you adjust the windows sizes on the 3DS games?

The fact that, today, I can basically have a portable PS3 is insane.

I remember when people were taking apart the Dreamcast and putting it inside a Leap Frog and shit. Electronics nerds used to sell portable systems they made themselves for like $700, but now you can just have pretty much every system on one device.

Crazy

I had the original steam deck then upgraded to the OLED when it released. Even after a year plus, this is the first 'console' I have been excited for in a loooooooooong time and I love looking at videos like this.

Where can i find the steam deck skin on the thumbnail

Anyone Have Any Recommendations on where i can find a helpful guide to do this to my own deck? mostly ps3 and switch games. Im aware there is alot of legal stuff around guides but any help would be great.

3 weeks ago I have discovered that Miyoo Mini Plus existed. I bought one for 50 bucks. Then I wanted to try the RG35XX h... And discovered Steam Deck. Bought a 64GB LCD version for 200 bucks, a half TB SSD card and replaced it. Oh my god.

When playing more demanding emulators for a long time.. does the Steam Deck get hot? And do the fans get loud?

Where did you get the skin from?

Battle of z instead of raging blast 2?

Just got my steam deck. I has issues with the Xbox 360 emulator but everything else works perfectly! All my hand held games and wii GameCube and ps2 games.

I read Waydroid will be merged to Steam so we could have android games in a better way

The age of gaming handhelds is better than I could have imagined at this point! I cant wait to see what crazy things can be done on handhelds in 3-5 years.

Love my Legion Go for things especially with th3 controllers taken off

what a crappy computer

Now that the OLED is out, you can get great colors on all of these now. The only shortcoming is still the CPU and overall power itself, but everything else is near perfect

Soul ressureccion was my guilty pleasure game!!!!

quick tip: if anyone feels like 4:3 is too weird/no widescreen support and 16:9 is too stretched, try 1.57:1 aspect ratio, its around 20% wider than 4:3 and to me its the perfect resolution for PS2, i usually play at 1700x1080 resolution.

I will wait for steamdeck2 - since I want ps3 emulation to be better. I know i can get Asus ROG Ally X but I would want the steamdeck community and support

A bit disappointed you didn't mention the touch pads, they are great for use on DS, 3DS and Wii as replacements for the stylus or Wii Mote.

What size sd card do ppl usually think is enough for emulation. Deciding between 512 gb and 1tb

so many sounds, so much nostalgia

Just ordered a deck. The deciding factor between the steam deck and the others, as I was researching my top games, the steam deck has so many forum and Reddit posts and Information for them all

This video is worth it alone for all the games featured.

No. Get an ASUS rog ally instead and thank me later

I think gba titles were balanced around a less vibrant screen, but that doesn't stop me

Doesn’t cost much more than the Switch?!
My OLED switch was about $500, my steam deck OLED was $1,600…

ha this coming form the same guy that hated emulation now you love it . i am shock i remember you did a video back how bad emulation was but now nope wait you do know that the remakes of the pc ports are out you did not need too play the originals ps2 games anymore lol

Can´t wait to see what the SD2 will be able to allow, next year.

Dirty pirat..😂

like a tank, but playing drakengard 3 seems rough in there...

Damn drakengard workin 1:1 on steam deck is so funny to me 😂

when those game came out, you where -20 years old

Yeah, maybe don't copy and paste commands bc someone told you it's a quick fix. I'm sure op knows what he's doing, but those watching may not. Don't do that, verify functionality. Even if that's just copying and pasting the command(s) into copilot/gpt4 and asking it to elaborate

I have slowly been trying to get applications, set up on my steam deck to turn this into the ultimate consul anything from PS4 and Xbox one prior or emulated and for those two systems are going to be streamed to the console

i don't understand much, but you have worked really hard to create this single video you might played more then 100 games

Bulk is not that big an issue if your main concern is a 1 stop emulation and gaming device, i honestly can hardly think of any other thing to make this the default portable gaming device.

might see if can order a SD OLED tomorrow.

Trying to do research before I decide to buy a deck. Man those gameboy games look great.
