      Is there a tutorial you can recommend? Not long after it came out I managed to get it running, but only in desktop mode, and input wasn’t working at all.

        you will need to add Yuzu as a non steam game in desktop mode then you can find it in game mode on that tab. before launching any games at least for me I have to use the touchscreen to launch them at first.

        As for input, check the controller settings then go to controller layouts and the community tab, some people have made layouts for it. you might have to experiment with different ones a bit till you find one you like though.

        You could try steam rom manager. It allows you to add your roms and/or emulators to your steam list from one app. It comes with emudeck but I think you can get it separately if you don’t want to use the rest of emudeck features.

    I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you’ve played that.

    If you haven’t played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.

      Here’s hoping you move on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It’s one of my favorite of all time.

        I started a game last night. Looks cool. Nice to see some melee combat.

        I think I’ll replay Blind Forest on a higher difficulty first. It was pretty easy on Normal.

    Dave the Diver. It’s not only the perfect Steam Deck game, it’s contender for indie game of the year. There’s just so much content and it’s all so good!

      It’s crazy how fun this game is in short bursts but it’s also scarily packed with content. I love the little animation cutscenes that they have for bancho and when fulfilling the customer requests.

    XCOM2 - trying to play anything to make the wait to Starfield bearable!

    Edit: adding to this that it’s a HOG on the battery which blows my mind considering its not all that graphically impressive.

      Did you try manually setting the TDP? In Civ VI I set it to 7W (default graphics) and it has helped quite a bit.

        I tried bringing frames down to 30 and messed a little with a custom game profile but I think I’ll have to drop graphics to medium or low for any real tangible difference. And that I’m just not willing to do! So it’s a couch outlet game for me at the moment. Fallout 4 uses less juice. Maybe it’s just poorly optimized?

      Yesss, I played New Super Lucky’s Tale after seeing my kid play it on the Switch. It resparked some nostalgia for classic 3D platforming so I ended up getting Spyro, Crash and Kao the Kangaroo. Been having a blast.

    No Man’s Sky, lots of No Man’s Sky this last month. Monster Hunter World is installed and ready to go… but I just need to finish something in No Man’s Sky first.

    For a smaller Indie title, I was playing Aground before the latest NMS community expedition.

    My daughter has been borrowing it to play The Lake, and my son and I have been playing Nickelodeon Brawl and Nickelodeon Carts on it.

      I was addicted to no man’s sky for a while, plays great on the deck. I took a black hole somewhere and then had an existential crisis wondering what I was doing it there in the universe and left myself stranded lost somewhere I didn’t know

    Been using Yuzu to emulate Tears of The Kingdom. Works so well for the handheld platform.

    (For legal reasons this is definitely not actually true please don’t sue me daddy Nintendo)

        It took a lot of tinkering, ngl. So far, I’ve gotten it to run at a pretty consistent 30fps with a bit of slowdown when going into areas for the first time due to shader compilation. Of course, big towns and such shows a bit of a slowdown as well, but nothing game breaking. I’m about a third or more through the main story all played on the Deck. Here’s a list of things I’ve done to get it playable:

        • Installed Yuzu via EmuDeck. For whatever reason, I couldn’t even launch the game using the standard flatpak version/package version.
        • Dynamic 30fps Patch. I tried the 60fps version, but since the game never gets much above 30, I went with the 30fps version since it was noticeably smoother.
        • Ran CryoUtilities and let it do its optimizations (increasing vram actually makes the game run worse due to there being less ram. This game/emulator is very memory hungry it seems so skip that one.)
        • I use the PowerTools plugin from Decky to set the hardware scheduler to performance mode. I’ve also played around with increasing minimum CPU clock speeds, but I can’t seem to make a difference with those. There were some rumors about disabling the “Odd Number” core option that helped performance, but I didn’t notice a difference with the current EA build of Yuzu. that turned out to be true.
        • Using the normal Power Options, force the GPU clock speed to max (1600).
        • Running EA Yuzu in Vulkan mode I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but I sourced the game from a specific girl who claims to be fit and likes to repackage things.

        A quick note : I’m also running Release 1.0 since whenever I try to upgrade to 1.1, I get an infinite black loading screen. I think this has to do with where I got the 1.0 release from, but I’m not sure. Supposedly, 1.1 has some bug fixes and performance fixes as well, but I’m too far into the game to worry about getting it working at this point.

        All of this is purely hypothetical, though, obviously.

    I recently finished psychonauts 2 on the steamdeck connected to the dock. It ran almost perfectly. Some areas that had a lot of activity would drop a bit, but overall it was an amazing experience.

        There are a few ways but here’s my preferred method

        1. Desktop mode
        2. Install Lutris
        3. Search for battle.net in Lutris and install
        4. Launch battle.net
        5. Install Diablo 4 through battle.net

        There are a few guides around with more detail but it’s very straight forward. Also a few guides out there on how to maximize battery life. I get 2.5hrs or so, closer to 3 if I avoid towns.

          I would not recommend Lutris/wine for D4 since it tuns perfectly on Proton Experimental, at that point you are just introducing another layer of potential compatibility issues that are completely unnecessary. I tried using Lutris on launch day and it was a total headache with various components being incompatible.

          Just install the launcher in desktop mode and add it as a steam game, then set compatibility mode to Proton Experimental. Done.

        I followed this guy’s YouTube tutorial to get D4 working on the steam deck. Super clear instructions and worked like a charm. I did end up tweaking the settings a bit and am not playing at 60 fps (opted for 45), but it runs great. Here’s the link for the YouTube video. https://youtu.be/zxet_LLQIwE
