I’ve installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here’s a guide.

I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I’m playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??

    The steam deck can handle every game on every system from the PS2 and back, most games on the switch and PS3, smattering of Xbox and 360 and everything on PC barring the most graphically intensive AAA titles. Recommendations on that potential scope can go on forever.

    If you like Zelda there are a few titles regarded as “must play” in the series, including Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Twilight Princess and many more in the “A” tier of Zelda titles. You’ve got probably years of play time just in those.

      I would just like to throw in that that PC port of OoT is maybe the best way to enjoy that game on deck. The only downside is no retro achievement support.

          You use your own rom and run it with Ship of Harkinian, which allows you add right stick camera controls, better button mappings, and mods for things such as graphical enhancements.

          I don’t know how easy it would be to find, but if you manage to get SoH up and running on your deck, I made a community controller configuration for it called “Ocarina of Time - Harkinian Deck: C-button Radial, Config Toggle”.

          Basically it works like this:

          Right touch pad = “C-button” radial menu

          • Remaps LB, Y, RB, and L3 to a C-button-themed radial menu as Left, Up, Right, and Down respectively.

          (You will need to remap your C-buttons away from the right stick in Ship of Harkinian if you want to use it for camera controls. You can just use the radial menu to accomplish that.)

          Select Button = “Config mode” toggle

          • Summons the Ship of Harkinian Config menu.
          • Changes the right analog, touch-pad, and triggers to mouse mode.
          • Migrates the C-button radial system to the left touch pad so you can still use it for remapping the c-buttons.
          • Pressing the button again dismisses the config menu and returns the game to normal “Game mode” controls.

          (Don’t close the game with the config mode controls active or you will be stuck with config controls the next time you start the game. Be sure to quit the game with the game mode controls active.)

          I made a couple tweaks, so I don’t know if those are reflected in the community config file I shared.

      It kindof starts to snag in the GCN/PS2 era. Smash Bros Melee never gets to an adequate point for me, and Soul calibur 2 usually is fuzzy with slowdown on the windmill-esque level.

      I don’t think I was able to get soul calibur 3 to work too well. The dreamcast version of PSO is much smoother than the GCN version, though GCN version is generally good enough.

      Dreamcast/N64/Playstation era I’d say is the sweet spot where games aren’t going to have many issues that they wouldn’t have elsewhere.
