Valve Steam Deck - the real Switch Pro?…

The sleep/wake on this thing is pretty amazing.

Not to mention the quick switch between games - I've currently got FM24 on the go and it's just a quick button press to jump to PES6 on EmulationStation. Truly living the best of lives :datass:

How does PES6 hold up these days?

Without a hint of irony, it's the high watermark for football games. Absolute perfection.

Have you tried the native PC version? There are fan groups, especially in South America, who update it with new squads all the time. I wonder how it runs under proton?

Any recommendations on digital board games on Steam that can be played 2 player locally that run well on the Steam Deck?

Wingspan would be my go to digital board game. Haven't played it a lot on the Steam Deck but I'm pretty sure it runs fine and can be played as a pass and play game.

If anyone streams Game Pass games via Green Light or Microsoft’s way using the Edge browser I highly recommend Xbplay. Costs £4.99 but so much better than either of the other methods, clarity options to make it look like it’s running natively rather than the washed out look you get streaming and you can also remote play your Xbox too.

There's currently a Humble Bundle you might want to check out. Includes Gloomhaven, Carcassonne, Small World and many more. Can't say how well they run on Deck or how good the digital editions are but they are great board games so might be worth a look for you.

Cheers for the board game recommendations, will check them out and see what they are like

This thing is so bloody good. I can see why it has a cult like following online.

It warms my heart to see other people enjoying the Deck as much as me.

Yeah, this is up there with the Switch for me, fantastic handheld system this :wub:

The Deck dominated my gaming time in 2023, absolutely incredible machine :wub:

I'm pretty amazed at how well Switch emulation works on this after I tried PGR2 on Xemu and had a straight up bad time. I guess Xemu is still pretty experimental but Yuzu seems to be fully figured out man!

I just love how the steam deck pretty much lets me take the entire history of gaming on the go between emulation and the steam library itself I love this bloody thing :wub:

Oh EmuDeck is a bit good isn't it? Got Yuzu all set up. :wub:

I haven't but that sounds cool, although I'm quite happy with the base version to be honest.

I'm glad it works for you. I was googling a bit and it does look like a PITA to get it working on steam deck.

If only they'd do a steam store release of pes6. I bet the licensing would be a total nightmare though.

Is Switch emulation pretty easy to do on this? I've not even looked into it but am instinctively put off trying as it's still a relatively new system.

OLED get!
