Alright I have EmuDeck set up and I'm gonna throw Metroid Prime 1-3 on it for Primehack. Anything else I need for this thing?
Also just a Steam Deck thread in general

You could get xbox/ps3/and switch set up

>ps3/and switch
Is the Deck actually good enough to play most titles? I'm sure it could play Metroid Dread since that game will run on anything, but other games I'm not so confident on

It runs mgsv and er better than my big rig.I got demons souls running and patched it. The start of a level has some lag but it goes away later. I'm downloading ass creed 1 and AC:FA since I saw the performance was pretty good.
Xbox works well if the games have run well before if its famously hard to emulate youre gonna have trouble.
I got ps2 running and only have issues with mgs3 and from what i can tell those are similar to pc.

Doing the initial setup on my deck while reading this thread. Can I do emulation without getting rid of the original OS? I don't wanna tamper so much but I'd love to get the most out of my deck in terms of making it the emulation station. Can you give me any pointers?

What made you want to get rid of the os

>Can I do emulation without getting rid of the original OS?
Yeah, got to Discover and download the emulators you want. While you're there get flatseal to make managing file permissions easier.
If PS2 doesn't work:
>Open Konsole

Literally just follow this guide, covers most of what you need

Also I haven't gotten to it yet, but the most recent version of PCSX2 I hear is real fucked on the Deck in terms of performance, and another user gave this advice for nabbing a previous version that works better

I'll have to give RPCS3 a shot. Maybe Folklore will be playable

a lot of the times anons are coming into these threads asking "oh wow the deck can emulate that" when generally the limits of its emulation aren't tied to hardware but the very limits of the emulator themselves. For non native linux games running through proton thats a different story.
