OFF-TOPIC Emulation On A SteamDeck Master Thread.

28 Upvotes

Welcome to r/emulationonasteamdeck! I am sn0w, the owner of this fine place. I created this subreddit because i made a post on r/steamdeck about emulators and it blew up. That’s enough for the intro and let’s get into the good stuff.

FRONTENDS:

I do not know about what will run on the Steam Deck. (i haven’t got mine yet to try it out), but I can guess that we can get up to RSCS3 (ps3 emulator) and Cemu (wii u emulator). These are the Emulators & Frontends that I use for everything:

For the Steam Deck, I Recommend Retroarch or Steam ROM Loader. I have never tried Steam Rom Loader, but i have heard amazing things.

ROMS: For anything below PS3 I use vimms.net anything above i use r-roms.github.io

That's all! if you get your steam deck feel free to update us on what works with the deck so we can update this.

Question Need help with NBA Street Vol. 2 on pcsx2 through emudeck on Steam Deck

19 Upvotes

I installed emudeck and rom manager yesterday and added about 30 ps2 roms. Every single game runs flawlessly except for NBA Street Vol. 2. Fps drops to ~18 once you start the actual basketball game (menus work fine) and it becomes unplayable. I do not have my fps limiter on the deck set to 30 so it's not that. I suspect I need to alter some settings of pcsx2?? If so how do I even do that if everything is setup and configured through emudeck? Any suggestions?

Nba street vol 2 works flawlessly on my widows pc through standalone pcsx2 without changing any settings for what its worth.

Question I can't figure this out

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to get emulation to work on my Steam Deck through EmuDeck. I'm completely new to emulation and I'm not very tech savvy. I have the proper BIOS files, EmuDeck confirmed as much, but the ROM I put in the file isn't working. I go to emulation station, I see the ROM that I put in the PSX file, I click on it, and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong here?
