        (Disclaimer,if you want to change setting go into desktop mode,If you want to play go in gaming mode)I’m guessing you are using emudeck and if you followed the tutorial from the video on the emudeck site (it’s the same mentioned in this thread) it’s really easy.bios files must be transferred to the appropriate bios folder. Unpacked . I’m using the same settings from the video, minus some tweaks ( internal resolution and a setting for using other textures). Also remember to place the copy of your games in the correct folder too( I’m using the USB transfer wizard found on emudeck main menu , it’s really easy).I SUGGEST YOU to use the USB transfer wizard because after you transfer the games he needs to parse them and download a cover if you want them to appear in your library in gaming mode (which I highly suggest since I didn’t find a way to make pcsx2 recognize the controller in desktop mode, in gaming mode is automatically configured)

      Where the Burnout 3 crowd at? That game is an absolute masterpiece. Granted I emulate on a Linux PC (thank god for Steam Deck, it’s the reason why most games run now) but that OLED Steam Deck got me smitten, I swear though if they released the 1TB OLED with the clear shell I’d probably be eating ramen for the next month just to get it.

      Agree except for virtual multitap. Was working one day, updated the emulator, broken the next day. This was around last December and it’s still fucked up. I wanna play multiplayer games with more than 2 people but can’t :(

      Dark Cloud 2 runs perfectly on Steam Deck and holds up VERY well in just about every department (looks, gameplay, etc)

        well even if you do, even in the orc caves the game is unplayable zoomed out. CPU is way too weak for multiplayer

      Played through the original Ratchet and Clank trilogy on the deck. As a kid I always dreamed of taking those games on the go, even going as far as attempting my own PlayStation 2 portable (man that was a far more complex project than I was ready for lmao) and it was such a full circle moment. Those games are insanely hard to emulate as well, I’m still surprised at how well the deck could play them. Towards the end of Up Your Arsenal I had to switch to my desktop, it was just too demanding. But even with the fully upgraded Bouncer in Going Commando the frame drops were not unplayable by any means. Man I love the PlayStation 2

        So many Great games on the PS2 compared to the PS3 but that is just my personal opinion

      My experience has been almost the opposite. I’ve got tons of games, and almost all of them experience significant slowdowns while playing. Every single Ace Combat runs like dogwater, or amazingly, but the inconsistency is terrible. Burnout runs great until there’s enough crashing going on.

      Jak and Daxter runs decently enough, Wipeout hovers around 40-50 fps.

      Please tell me what I’m doing wrong to get such terrible performance.

        All I had to do for Ace Combat 4 and Zero was ensure that the emulator was up to date through emudeck and then install power tools (in the emudeck utilities menu) and disable SMT each time you start the games. Ace Combat 5 still has issues with clouds and lagging on some missions (which are supposedly fixable but I’m not sure how), but playing in anything other than third person helps a lot.

        AC04 is one of my favorite games of all time, so I’ve been playing the hell out of it on the deck lately.

            Back in those UBi cross platform days, the GC games had better graphics, colors, and framerates

            Sound took a little hit but the smoother performance and sharper textures made it worthwhile

            Prince is Persia is also much better on the GC

      Any guide you’d recommend for getting emulation going? I’m super interested in PS2 and GameCube.

        Steam Deck was my first time ever emulating or installing mods! I would highly recommend Emudeck, just go to their website and they will walk you through everything. You just need to find and download your own Roma and pop them in the mods folder for that system. (Emudeck will create the folders for you!).

    I’ve been playing Spiderman Web of shadows on my ps3 emulator, and it doesn’t run too bad. I never had a chance to play them as a kid as my mom hated xbox/Playstation, stating they were too violent, lol.

    New to the steam deck here, when setting up Emudeck do you have a dedicated sd card for emulating? Also can you just hot swap sd cards? I bought a 1tb sd card but don’t want to dedicate the whole thing to emudeck

      I don’t, as most older games are small enough in size. Ps3/wii-u games can get massive though (20gb for xenoblade x) , but I have very few from this era. Biggest ps2 games are like 8gb

      Also you can hotswap the SD card but you still have to be careful when. If the device is in the middle of downloading game updates onto the card (which happens often) and you pull out the SD card you’ll have a problem. So while you generally can do it, just keep a careful eye that nothing is going on when you do it

      I like to keep all emulation stuff on an SD card and everything else on the SSD. Makes it easy to transfer over roms & saves to a new deck or a new SD card if upgrading either. Emudeck also offers automatic cloud backups of the save folder which is very useful for having a persisting save file between devices & never losing saves again

      You don’t have to use a SD card, and yes you can hotswap SD cards as well.

      I bought a 512GB SD card solely for my emulation. I emulate everything from NES to Switch off the card and have had zero issues.

      I would recommend using a SD card for it, but again, it is not required.
