Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16
PerfectDark@lemmy.world 5 days agoI’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!
Keep an eye out, I try make them weekly, though in the past it’s gone as few as two days between posts (generally though, I try make myself wait and hold off to give it a week between them!) - so there’ll be more coming :)
I’m so glad you’re getting a Steam Deck, you’ll love it! They’re easy if you want to just…start installing games without tinkering, or you can dive in and find all kinds of fun things.
As to GOG and Epic (and even Amazon) look into:
…there are others, but these two I swear by.
As to emulation, the default idea most have is EmuDeck, but I by far recommend
- RetroDECK for emulating!
…but if you ever have any specific questions, or want help or a guide to anything, reach out to me. I kinda live/breath the Steam Deck - so I’m always happy to help!!!

Yeah, I like the idea that RetroDeck is a single concise package that may not have the latest emulators but they are stable.
I’m also ordering an SD card because I just want to keep the ROMs separate from the main deck games.

Sometimes (often) those ‘latest’ builds don’t work so well, and things break. Its a classic problem which plagues EmuDeck, and why long-term users warn people
That very thing which annoys some people - no bleeding-edge latest updates on emulators, to me is stability and a relief. I trust the devs of RetroDECK to update only when things need it!
And I also have it all on my SD card! Its the best idea, roms, emulators, bios, mods, texture packs. I like how it keeps things organized and clean :)
