Naturally piracy isn’t something we do here.
But hypothetically- if one came across ps2 or gba roms; would one need to get the linux or windows version for the deck?

Emudeck.com

no need for windows for any emulator except xbox 360

ordered

I'm thinking about selling my main PC for a Steam Deck and going back to using my older desktop for all other non-gaming things

Depends what you play on main PC I’d say

You can always dock a deck with mouse/keyboard too

$1000 starting price

it'd mainly be single player stuff i've been meaning to play for awhile but could never really get into because i've never been a huge fan of gaming at my computer with a controller (unless i'm playing something multiplayer)

i feel like the few games i do play with friends would still run fine on my old pc (with maybe one or two exceptions). i'm assuming since it's just linux under the hood that i could probably just install discord on it for those few exceptions.

Yeah sounds good.

Plus you could always put a 1tb SSD inside & dual boot Windows for anything that doesn’t work on Linux (Fortnite, Cod, fifa etc)

I know u're Moneybags man

@op add space between steam and deck in the title

hoping on the bandwagon
just ordered one music production might take an interesting turn from this year on

thread should be stickied

Just finished the new Tomb Raider series on this, man that was so fun

This is probably the most I’ve ever played games because of the Deck

Still not available in Australia, Classic

is the cheapest one okay ?

i wanna cop one not anytime soon but maybe in the next couple months but not sure if i should get the cheapest or $500

The only difference is the storage, get the cheapest one and upgrade the SSD later if u want (will cost less and replacing SSD is easy)
The 512GB also has anti glare screen but if you want the same effect you can just buy a screen protector with anti glare

mine just came in and probably my favourite purchase in years. switching accounts and sharing is dog water but the device itself is a dream

EA access is a really good deal man

Is there anything else similar that works on deck? I’m downloading the games natively through steam as if I purchased them, it’s amazing

before i buy this s***...theres no rumors of an upgrade yet right? like no sTeAm DeCk 2 talk has been had right? cuz im goin all in on the 600 version.

I’ve got the 256gb version and I wish I went with the 512, most games nowadays are just too big. I feel like the 64gb would get annoying quick depending on how much you want to be installing and uninstalling games

think i’m gonna sell my switch and cop this instead

i just don’t play it at all like i’ve picked it up 3 times in the last 5 months

i would easily play this more since my steam library so big

what’s a good ssd for this ? if you don’t mind linking one i’m probably gonna cop the cheap one

Sabrent do a 1tb on Amazon that seems popular

Just get the 64 and upgrade the SSD Id say. Will work out cheaper
