It's such a great way to play CloneHero, ReTHAWed, and emulators in the livingroom. The Switch really nailed the portable to docked mindset, but steam deck brought the real capabilities
Please forgive the naive (stupid) question. Does the steam deck allow emulator to play games that don't normally run on emulators? I've been trying to play Blitz The League 2 for soooo long
Not a stupid question at all :) the steam deck can emulate games a mid-spec modern gaming computer can handle, I've had good performance with up to PS2 titles, but I have never tried PS3 or Xbox 360.
I think Emudeck includes RPCS3, a PS3 emulator. It could be worth trying, for sure, but I'd expect it to stutter a bit :)
if it doesn't run in RPCS3 on a computer the steam deck won't be any different, it's essentially just a gaming PC that boots into big picture mode after all :)
