Can i emulate games with a steamdeck? Does my computer need to be on while i use the steamdeck?

The Deck is a normal PC in a mobile form factor. You can therefore do with it whatever you can do with any other PC.

From making a good game inspired by medieval Catholicism to proudly saying they're "*****-inclusive and feminist".

Sad to see it, but not that surprising. Hopefully things change for the better in the near future.

As others have said, it's a portable PC in the most literal sense of the word. Whatever you can think of doing with a PC running Linux, you can do on the Steam Deck.

As for emulation, there's a very handy application you can download on it that handles installing and setting up all the various emulators for you hassle free. You can emulate pretty much everything up to the Playstation 3, including it and the Vita, though not MicroSoft consoles, since emulators for those are not as mature.

Only thing I'd keep in mind is the battery life, or lack thereof. You'll have to either make use of a powerbank to keep the Steam Deck chugging along for more than a couple hours*, or stay close to a power outlet.

*Couple hours for graphically demanding games, for games requiring weaker hardware you can tone some Steam Deck settings down to get more battery life out of it.

They must have taken it over or bought out the original guy who was making it. It started with a solo dev years ago. But I checked the Steam forums today and he's been inactive since 2022 and is no longer tagged as the dev for this game. It looks like his wife had a baby around that time and he stopped working on any of his games.

I don't like "quirky" [adjective] [noun] names for studios. I blame JJ Abrams/Bad Robot.

Doom The Dark Ages will require a GPU with Ray Tracing support to be playable on PC

"You can see the full system requirements below. You’ll need an 8GB graphics card to even run the game, but that’s a fairly low bar for a title releasing in 2025. What’s interesting is that an 8GB graphics card will only get you 60 frames per second (fps) at 1080p with the Low graphics preset."

There aren't any good devs left lol.

It had to happen at some point.

At least they are using RT for more than just cheap realistic lightning.

Can i emulate games with a steamdeck? Does my computer need to be on while i use the steamdeck?

Yup, Emudeck is your best bet at emulating games. It has a ton of neat features including cloud saves. I recommend making a separate Jewgle account due to it having the highest amount of free storage at 15GB. Be warned, it may take a few days to make the account though since they made phone numbers mandatory and the system may randomly reject you for no reason. If you truly need more than 15GB storage for saves, I recommend using pCloud which has the cheapest plan at $5/$50 monthly/yearly for 500GB of storage.


https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/inde ... ator_files
Here is a website with all the BIOS files you will ever need for any emulator. You can look at this guide if you need a visual indicator:

► Show Spoiler

(This is the BIOS file directory for SD Cards --> */run/media/mmcblk0p1/Emulation/bios/ )
(This is the BIOS file directory for the default storage --> */home/deck/Emulation/bios/ )

You will need to download ROMs, unzip them, and put them in their respective folder in order for them to work properly.
(This is the ROM file directory for SD Cards --> */run/media/mmcblk0p1/Emulation/roms/[GAME SYSTEM NAME HERE] )
(This is the ROM file directory for the default storage --> */home/deck/Emulation/roms/[GAME SYSTEM NAME HERE] )

If you want to transfer ROMs from your PC to Steam Deck, I recommend using Winpinator(PC) + Warpinator(SteamDeck) to make transferring files much more convenient!

Keep in mind that you will need to download the Citra and Yuzu emulators separate from Emudeck. They are needed to play 3DS and Switch games respectively. You can also play Switch games with Ryujinx. The difference between Yuzu and Ryujinx is that Yuzu is more efficient yet has less compatibility with games than Ryujinx. If a game can't run properly on Yuzu, try using Ryujinx instead. You'll need to add the emulators as Non-Steam Games in Desktop Mode in order to launch them in Gaming Mode: When in desktop mode, you right-click (L2) on the icon that launches the emulator (in the file explorer) and there should be an "Add to Steam" shortcut, which will perform the function as manually opening steam and clicking "Add Non-Steam Game".
You'll need to launch the emulators on Desktop Mode to choose the folder where you keep your 3DS/Switch ROMs. (I recommend making a clearly labelled folder on your Desktop for maximum convenience.) From there, you can launch them on Gaming Mode and set up the controls and other settings normally.

That's because you're threatening his gooning.

Apparently this is a Czech ****, further confirming that "Western Slavs" have been infected with the Anglo mind virus.

This one is probably not happening anytime soon, solo dev got sentenced to prison for 3 years

The dev was asked "Will the game remain on Steam?"

... that featured a very graphic rape scene involving the ugly orange protagonist from the perspective of "her" rapist? ...

Pity. I had this one on my radar but was waiting for it not to be in an unfinished Early Access state. I have no interest in seeing that scene so... you've just saved me some cash @gerey, thanks.

[rusty_shackleford]

lmao still patching the game days before going to prison for 3 years

[rusty_shackleford]

can't wait until we have games with fully simulated players that are MMOs except you only play with your friends
