Enjoy your steam deck bro I adore it had it since close to launch, still play regularly

[@Sssquatch]

Before I had a steam deck everyone said "they are overrated". After I got my OLED a month ago, it is in fact NOT overrated! Best purchase I have made in a long time!

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Excited for you! I agree. The steam deck OLED is incredible.

[@chucknowakowski6676]

Just ordered my oled hasn’t arrived yet, any tips when I do get it?

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

@chucknowakowski6676 Emudeck at least. Emulating on the deck is a blast. But honestly the only tip I could give you is download a game in your library that you wanna play but haven’t and dive in. If you haven’t played Elden Ring or Ghosts of Tsushima yet make sure to purchase and download. Fantastic games that are fantastic on the deck.

[@anndre_wilson]

today I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my OLED steam deck so this was a MASSIVE help

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

That’s awesome! Super excited for you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure to get Decky and Emudeck setup soon as it gets in. Hope you enjoy the steam deck as much as I have! Thanks so much for watching!

[@anndre_wilson]

@@AndrewTaylorYT the emudeck sounds like a must tbh and decky sounds like it can do SO much

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

@@anndre_wilson they’re both really incredible. Decky actually has Emudeck plugins as well so you can enable achievements on emulated games and such. There’s 2 Emudeck Decky plugins you should 100% check out!

Just so you know, for any of the shortcuts involving the Steam button, you can use the three dots button as the Steam button and the combo will still work. That way you don't have to use your left thumb for activating the shortcut and awkwardly use your index finger to adjust the brightness on the thumbstick.

[@andersonkopp6415]

Steam deck was a great purchase. As someone that is busy and only has an hour or so to play each night, being able to lay down in bed and play PC games is a game changer.

[@AlekTrev006]

@@AndrewTaylorYTGreat video ! My understanding of the Oled vs Original LCD version is that the Oled has more backlighting, so you can play it outside / in sunlight more than you could w the original Deck ?

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Actually I’m pretty sure that is not even true. Difference are for one the OLED display. OLED displays don’t have any backlight. The battery and speakers are also better. It’s also does 90 hz and higher brightness. If you scroll down on my channels video page I did a video explaining what OLEDs are years ago. It’s one of my first videos so it’s not great but it explains what OLEDs are if you’re interested! Thanks again for watching!

We’ve been loving emudeck as a family. I have it setup so that when we play Wii, we can have our true Wii motes connected to it. It’s been absolutely fantastic to play 4 player Wii games upscaled! The steam deck connects so easily to a tv. I rarely have any kind of display issues. Unlike my gaming pc when I try to connect it to the tv. It’s always a disaster haha.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I have the same experience! I got a GameCube controller adapter so me and friends can all play old Mario kart and Mario party and such and it’s so much fun! Emudeck makes it so easy and the display compatibility is so convenient with Steam OS I 100% agree. Thanks so much for watching!😊

#3 is basic shortcuts, I'd talk shit about it but its amazing how many youtubers include them in videos so i can only imagine how few people actually seem to realize they exist. #5 you didnt mention anything about needing roms for games or bios for certain systems. I know you mentioned there's a ton of videos that go into it, but that basic information could help a lot of people so they dont think its as easy as installing emudeck and magically having all the games they want. Other than man it's a good list, I'm downloading decky tonight. Thanks dude.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Thanks for watching! Number 3 is an interesting one. I agree that there is a surprising amount of people who don’t know any of them. Even me though. I knew them but I didn’t know the brightness toggle. I just use all of the buttons besides the keyboard so little that they get completely forgotten. #5 I totally mentioned needing roms and how I recommend installing Emudeck on a micro SD because you could then use a computer to dump roms onto it. I did not mention anything about bios which is correct and I would have if Emudeck didn’t handle all of the bios stuff on its own. I mentioned videos that go in depth into emulation and I said that specifically as the subject of emulation has a lot of depth but Emudeck handles a lot of the depth for you and all you need to do is load ROMs. I’m pretty sure I even define what a ROM actually is. I say something along the lines of “And if you don’t know what a ROM is, just know that it’s basically the game file. You download it and drop it into the file that’s for the console you have the game for.” Made sure to go over the basics so people could get up and playing! Thanks again for watching! Worked hard on the video and I’m glad people are enjoying it.😊

Supposedly the deck can overheat when in the dock? Looking since mine would spend more time hooked up to the smart tv. Answers??

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I think the longest I’ve played while docked to a big 4k 77inch TV was like 9 hours. Don’t judge me. Got hooked on Elden Ring. No overheating problems though. It might depend on the dock. If you’re gonna do a TON of docked gaming I’d probably recommend getting the first party dock so you have warranty and everything. Can I ask why you’re looking at the steam deck if you want a docked machine? A PC tower could push a lot more out of games and will easily sit by the TV for forever. The steam deck really is a handheld system before a docked system. Not to say you can’t make it a docked system. Just seems like you might be able to find a better value device if you’re primary wish is a PC that essentially lives like a gaming console.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve been working super hard to grow and working super hard on making the best vids I can. I’ve got one going up in a few hours that should be amazing. It’s also on a pretty amazing steam deck accessory. As far as upgrading I think you should if you can! If the money is in the way then there’s no need to worry but the display as well as speakers and battery are 100% worth the upgrade. As far as my color scheme and such I’m not 100% which you’re referring to. I’m doing multiple different things and have a ton of CSS loader stuff toggled and loaded. If you go to the video description there’s a link to my X/Twitter. My DMs are open on there.

Is emudeck still gold like with all the thing that happend ? Thanks for the vid dude you got me Im gonna download it happybwith my deck gonna change it to oled in the future

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I don’t really know what you’re referring to regarding Emudeck but I use it all the time and don’t have any issues. Thanks so much for watching!

[@chrisforrester7782]

Cool video, happy to add a new subscription to my you tube if they are all as good as this!! Thanks for the tips and tricks had Decky but didn't know about the animations stuff at all!!

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Glad you enjoyed! All the videos should be as good as this if not better. Work on making every single video better. Thanks so much for watching and thank you for the sub!

[@dustyricketts2683]

Not sure if you can help with this or not, but I’m trying to get the fan-made game WWF Legends Challenge to run on the Deck and I can’t get it to. Any tips or guides would be great.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I’m happy to try and help. My Twitter link is in my description and my DMs are open. Go ahead and send me a message so I can help you trouble shoot and figure it out. Thanks for watching! I’ll be waiting on your message!

[@robprator5890]

Just a heads up, there are some games/programs that the keyboard shortcut does not work on. It seems that none of the standard shortcuts work for those games. If you MUST bring up the keyboard you can press the … button and scroll to the bottom to the keyboard icon.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Thanks for the heads up! I havent run into that situation yet. I'll keep that in mind though. Thanks for watching!

[@bland9876]

I don't know why you would hold down the steam button to adjust the brightness when it's much easier to just hold down the three dots button. Basically any button that you want to hit that's on the left side of the Steam Deck you should hold down the three dots button instead of the Steam button.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Makes sense. Can’t argue with that.

[@tidusleon7660]

found a bronze! only one in my game library is "Cthulhu Saves the World"

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Congrats on finding the bronze! I knew there had to be something.😂 Thanks so much for watching!

[@an93lofdeath]

Holding the ... Button does the same as holding the steam button so it is easier to do the combos on the steam button side.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Thanks for letting me know. I never knew that ones for some reason until a few comments mentioned it.

[@YaBoyMacD]

Nice vid ty

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@vargsieber]

I wouldn't recommend decky at the moment, some of the plugins are causing bootloops since the last os update.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I heard this from another commenter. Never had the problem and haven’t hear about it until now.

[@Blue_Meanie]

I've had a few issues with Decky myself. Seems to crop up when you have a new beta update

[@Reiley-uo6vw]

Could you do a walkthrough on emu deck?

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I will 100% consider doing it! In the meantime try this video. It helped me a lot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bVY4qQdq6gq7ssi=oXEfqqUEbfHUBw8D

Hello 😊

Drachenlord ist jetzt Americaner xD aber mit gutem Inhalt

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I will take that as a compliment. Thank you. 😂

[@EcksGamer]

The majority of these "thing you need" are just common now which had been covered for years from other content creators which i was hoping to see something new when clicking on your video.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Seems that a lot of people still didn’t know about the stuff though. Still helping to spread the word!

[@upstarter]

Sameses… basically download decky, emu and look at what they can do. Definitely stuff you do Day One, or just about everyone Did Day One😊

[@SpicyCactus]

I wish I had a steam deck

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Keep an eye on Facebook marketplace. Used steam decks can be put up for fantastic deals! Give it some time and savings and you’ll have one sooner than you’d think. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@bingu2851]

Big discount on lcd 512gb now.

[@Darkshinobi-X-]

I had the oled for a month and decky did something to it. I had the black screen of death. After a long long long talk with customer support for valve they told me to send it in and they sent me a replacement. My time playing around with decky was amazing but for now there are some issues.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Interesting. I havent seen that issue before, Hope it doesn't happen again!

[@brianfrog14]

The only thing I don’t like about emulators is that you download it, but the games are not included if I could download the emulator for steam deck and download the ROM for scarface 2 I would love that

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

You can download the games. Just google it hit download then drop the file in the emulator folder.

[@IAmSarlosCantana]

I think the Steam Deck is the single best gaming device ever made. I just have the worst buyers remorse. also i already have a Switch and an Xbox Series S so i don’t NEED it necessarily. i’m so torn on weather i should return this

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Well it depends on what you want/need it for. If it’s just for the sake of having cool tech then you’ve gotta ask whether the money is worth it or not. The steam deck has a lot of value. Just gotta figure out where it’s at and what it could replace.

[@henricoloco7864]

I cant be the only one that suffers from headaches and dizziness from using the Steam Deck Oled - only a few videos about this problem / issue with their oled screens on youtube. In my country - you cannot find any demo units for the Steam Decks which would have been helpful with my purchase. I bought one and within minutes of using it, I knew something was wrong - I could feel tightness on the back of my head and got blurry vision. Asus Rog Ally have demo units and when I tried it in store, I remember not having any of the symptoms mentioned above.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Might be a personal problem. OLED panels are known to be far far easier on the eyes and head than LCD or LED panels. The Steam Deck OLED is objectively a healthier handheld to your eyes than the Ally.

[@TyroneDucci-d4j]

Hey Andrew!

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Hey Tyrone!

[@Chaialenor]

I heard that decky was causing the deck to go into a boot loop?

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

I’ve never had that problem personally. Maybe a specific plugin or update? I haven’t heard about it or experienced it. Thanks for watching!

[@Chaialenor]

Thanks for the reply, I’ll do a bit more digging. Nice video, cheers 👍🏻

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

@@Chaialenor thanks so much! Cheers!

[@BiggWillps2]

Don't download any music/sound plug-ins

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

@@BiggWillps2 Are they all bad? I’ve got audio loader only and haven’t had a problem at all.

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed. Hope the new Steam Deck works out for you. Thanks so much for watching!😊 uploading a video on my favorite Steam deck accessory here in 15 minutes.👀

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Good to know. Thanks for watching!
