Also, what the fuck is the point of buying the 256 or 512gb version when you can just replace the eMMC with an NVMe for the fraction of the price?

Apparently - yes. At least between the 256 and 512gb versions. And from what I've heard - warranty is not void if you replace the "disk" by yourself, unless you break something of course.

No difference between the 64 and 256 version when it comes to hardware, 512 has etched glass antiglare screen. Opinions about it are varied. I personally disliked it so I scalped my Deck in May and queued again for a 64gb version.

Inter, are there any tutorials for Steam Deck beginners that you used and vouch for? There are a shit ton of them on YT, but I can't verify if they're any decent or not.

I'll be mainly using it for older games and emulation etc. Very Happy

Start here :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/uw0cfn/steam_emudeck_rom_files/
https://www.emudeck.com/#how_to_install


And get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for your deck if you haven't already. It helps alot in desktop mode.

Also, follow this guide to install proton GE:

One other thing, I follow these channels:

https://www.youtube.com/@SteamDeckGaming
https://www.youtube.com/@DeckWizard
https://www.youtube.com/@pcgamingit

Every day they've got different games running on the Deck, so you get a really good idea of what runs well without having to download and test every game you own. They test new releases fairly quickly as well as emulation. You can also go through their old videos to create a sort of 'Deck backlog' in preparation for later.

There's another channel called Maxgamestech or something, but he puts 40hz on a lot of games that run well at 60hz. It's so dumb. If it works at 60, it'll work at 40, I don't get it. So I unsubbed.


Maybe he put them in 40hz for better battery life? A "heavy" 60 hz game can drain the battery in one hour.

It's still a redundant thing to do, if it can run well at 60 frames, then 40hz is going to work for whatever reason. He does a lot of Switch game videos too, but for the Switch it makes sense to test both as there's a performance difference docked vs handheld

Ah okay.

Some games still have 30/60 fps locks, and some just work weird at 40 (physics get wonky or they slow down). It's usually older titles or janky remasters. I recently played a game that worked 2 times slower at 40hz, while it had no problems with a 30 fps lock with 60hz refresh.

So it's not completely redundant, although I don't know if the youtuber in question had that aspect in mind.

Yeah, it took a day to get from Wrocław to next to Kraków for him. It got tp Poland on Monday.

He's having a blast, though not without problems. Apparently there is a common issue that the deck won't turn on when it's not plugged in, despite having enough charge. I've read that a possible solution is to let it drain entirely and charge afterwards to 'reset' the battery. Not sure if he tried it already

Fuck, ever since I got the Deck I didn't touch my PC.

Finished AI: The Somnium Files, played a ton of Vampire Survivors, a little bit of Brotato. Currently early on in Cult of the Lamb and having a blast. I didn't even touch the emulation stuff yet.
