When enough of you keep asking me for the SAME THING I try to listen...so here we go; Steam Deck coverage! But of course this is a retro gaming channel so it's not like we are going to talk about modern PC Gaming on the Steam Deck...we are going to talk about retro emulation...more specifically PS3 emulation via RPCS3 and EmuDeck!

I wont lie though, Final Fantasy XIII, to me, was a great use of the PS3, although playing it on my Steam copy on the Steam Deck makes it feel like it's still a VERY modern game, because the visuals, even after all these years, are still stunning, and the story is incredibly underrated :) and the Stean Deck is reviving a lot of gamers' lost love for gaming, including mine :D

Steam Deck has been awesome to both play modern games and relive dozens of classic systems. Best of both worlds

[@ciaranmccarthy]

Yeah compatibility isn't 100% yet with RPCS3 but the games that do work seem to run very well. I have tried Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, God of War HD Collection, and After Burner Climax and Daytona USA from the PSN and they run perfectly.

Lots of PSN games run really well on the steam deck: Outland, Zuma, Zuma's Revenge, Go Puzzle, Calling all Cars, Peggle, Majong, Tetris, etc. Some games like God of War Collection, MGS Collection, Jak and Daxter Collection play smooth, but use up a ton of power.

Hey buddy, thanks for the tutorial. One question: How do i set the controllers? using the default config from Steam Deck it doensnt works. I tried to change default config from RPCS3 and also doesnt changes. Only suggests XBOX 360 layout but it doesnt works. The games i have tried ( and it runs ) Race Driver GRID and COD: Black Ops 1.Thanks.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

So you aren’t getting controls at all? Or just to reconfigure? Sorry not 100% on what isn’t working

[@mpredolim]

@@VideoGameEsoterica I´ve tried EVDEV that assigns XBOX 360 controller layout and it doesnt works. Any tips pls? The game itself works but control binds don´t.

[@anyhumanbeing]

Do you really need another computer for this? Why can’t you use the desktop mode on the deck?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

You can and I mention it in some tutorials. But most users will have a PC and their familiarity there will be greater. I plan for the “most prevalent use case”

[@maynardcortes1493]

help pls, all i really wanna do is to make top spin 4 be constant 60 fps pls help

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I tried this one, just doesnt seem to want to run at 60 FPS on deck

4:42 My file type says 7z. Instead of File Folder. Under roms > ps3 it says skate 3 (usa) (en,Fr,Es).7z Its not showing anything on the emulator. And it also didn't say copying games.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

You need to unpack it

[@mericagunsfreedomandlove.8985]

​@VideoGameEsoterica extract it? Can I do that while in ps3? Or should I delete the file and extract it on pc then download it again?

[@mericagunsfreedomandlove.8985]

@@VideoGameEsoterica wouldn't it become a disk image file?

[@mericagunsfreedomandlove.8985]

@VideoGameEsoterica I unpacked it. Yet still won't show. It's now a folder that says Skate 3 (USA) (En,Fr Es)

@@VideoGameEsoterica interesting. they disappear when I shut the machine off. Once I turn it on and plug my HD in, they come back.

Does this cpu have the 512avx to help boost performance?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Zen 2 supports it so I’d presume so

[@eazymo18]

No , the steam deck supports avx2 and avx-512 is zen 4 so maybe in the future with steam deck 2?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Odd. I thought it was supposed on Zen 2 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Does this method work with PSN games as well? And will I need to store DLC and update files within the game folders themselves?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I’ll make a second part on PSN and DLC. Bit hard to do over comment

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

@@VideoGameEsoterica Thank you. I realize PSN roms tend to be a little more tricky than iso dumps. But I figure they would work better since they are usually small games. And some times compatibility can depend on not just regional differences, but also the format of said game. But I didn't think I could get 3D Dot Game Heroes working, since only the Japanese version is labelled as playable in the official compatibility list, and I don't speak or understand Japanese.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yeah the English version is sadly bugged
