PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@digigeek" class="u-url mention">@<span>digigeek</span></a></span> </p><p>- Updates only when emulators are 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 and run together well with the others.

PerfectDark<p>I&#39;m just thinking out loud here, but are there many who enjoy <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>emulation</span></a> via <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PCGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PCGaming</span></a> who might want to do a bit of a weekly or monthly play-along together?</p><p>Like a book club for older games? </p><p>I know for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> community there is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EmuDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EmuDeck</span></a> but for desktops themselves the options are many.</p><p>Might be nice to all decide on a game to play, then share our thoughts on it via a #?</p><p>These things rarely work, or keep up steam...but thinking aloud, it could be fun!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a></p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@cfultz" class="u-url mention">@<span>cfultz</span></a></span> </p><p>I use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a> for my emulation (I prefer all of it to be stored and run from one place: ROMs, emulators, bios, mods, etc - all on the micro SD card), but when I have any work to do for it like managing files or changing my game art etc I use my dock and a keyboard/mouse.</p><p>FAR easier that way!</p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://io.waxandleather.com/@alisynthesis" class="u-url mention">@<span>alisynthesis</span></a></span> </p><p>Things to keep in mind! -</p><p>Run something like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a> (my fav) or EmuDeck to emulate SO much. My Switch library now lives on my Deck, not my Switch!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GOG</span></a> games run (alongside <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EpicGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EpicGames</span></a> and Amazon&#39;s) through <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HeroicGamesLauncher" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HeroicGamesLauncher</span></a> (I own like a handful of games on Steam, but thousands on GOG!)</p><p>Mods are a breeze, you can modify the UI to look as crazy or understated and clean as you want with things like Decky Launcher. </p><p>Desktop Mode is literally a Linux computer. SO GOOD!</p>
PerfectDark<p>Just curating my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emulated" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>emulated</span></a> games list for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlayStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PlayStation</span></a> 2 on my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> </p><p>If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to leave them in a comment. As far as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gaming</span></a> goes, the old PlayStation games are still a mystery to me for the most part.</p><p>Excited to jump into the Spec II mod for Gran Turismo 4, though! I&#39;m on a bit of a cars/racing games kick lately. Even tho I&#39;m more a rally girl, this still has me curious!!!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a></p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@causeburn" class="u-url mention">@<span>causeburn</span></a></span> </p><p>The thing that makes me happiest is seeing comments and shares on this video saying they&#39;re going to try it!</p><p>Its also a lovely update by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a>. i love that SRM is now employed inside, so you can add your fav games to the regular game library in Steam!!!</p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou" class="u-url mention">@<span>nazokiyoubinbou</span></a></span> </p><p>Oh, I definitely AM that lazy, though they were released long before my time. I have played the opening of the first a few times, just when setting up emulators and looking at good old 3D games for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a></p><p>It hasn&#39;t really caught me, but I appreciate the work they put in!</p><p>For PS1 (for me!) it goes:</p><p>1) Metal Gear Solid<br />2) Final Fantasy VII<br />3) Colin McRae Rally 2</p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.scot/@joat" class="u-url mention">@<span>joat</span></a></span> </p><p>I&#39;m 100% going to recommend the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> because...well look over my profile and you&#39;ll see it is where I do the bulk of my gaming!</p><p>- the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Steam</span></a> library<br />- <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GOG</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EpicGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EpicGames</span></a> (also Amazon!) titles run perfectly via Heroic Games Launcher or Junk-Store<br />- emulate 10s of 1000s of games with something like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a><br />- play native open-source Linux games, or romhacks, itch.io titles</p><p>It does SO much, before you account for game mods! <br />But for the &#39;next gen&#39; of AAA? Not well suited!</p>
PerfectDark<p>The new <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a> update has arrived! My fav way for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>emulation</span></a> on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> by far.</p><p>This update (0.9.0b) brings changes:</p><p>SteamRomManager &amp; Steam Sync for easy game imports.</p><p>PortMaster for Linux game ports &amp; Ruffle for Flash games.</p><p>40% smaller size, faster builds, modular framework.</p><p>RetroENGINE lets you launch games directly.</p><p>New ES-DE theme, emulator updates, and more!</p><p>I AM SO EXCITED!!!</p>
PerfectDark<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@vg_lunatic" class="u-url mention">@<span>vg_lunatic</span></a></span> </p><p>RetroDECK takes longer between each update, and in so doing ensures each release is as stable as possible (you&#39;ll notice EmuDeck breaks every few updates)</p><p>RetroDECK stores everything: ROMs, bios, emulators, mods etc on a SD card (if you so choose) which is nice. It&#39;s good knowing its all in ONE place and compartmentalized - rather than scattered in a billion places on your SSD (like EmuDeck does)</p><p>I reaaaaally prefer <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDECK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroDECK</span></a> over Emu!</p>
