For those that like playing Pokemon fangames or any other game made with RPG Maker XP, I’d like to say (in case you don’t know) that with the release of Steam OS 3.5 Stable, we can now use the “Scaling Mode” to fill the screen and get rid of the fixed resolution (and 4:3 aspect ratio) of RPGXP!

We can now play this and other things on full screen and the Steam Deck does an excellent job with that!

Kudos to Valve for this amazing feature!

      You are not misunderstanding, friend! There are a lot of fanmade Pokemon games with different mechanics and features, like having every single pokemon from gen 1 to gen 9 available in the same game and stuff like that.

      The 2 most popular types of games made by people are romhacks and RPGXP games. The first one is (as the name implies) a hack of an original gba or gbc rom to change maps, mechanics, music, pokemon, items, etc., that must be played via gba or gbc emulator, but these are limited to the maximum space capacity of said games, which is 8mb for gbc and 32mb for gba (although people have managed to fit a lot of content even with those limits).

      The second one doesn’t have a space limit and could potentially have infinite content via randomly generated dungeons and some other cool things in addition to the ones mentioned for romhacks. RPGXP games have an exe file that must be run through proton’s compatibility mode.

      You should try them! Both are extremely amazing.

    You are streching content with it it’s not proper 16:10 but i still use it in Sonic Frontiers and DBZ Kakarot because there is no way to mod it in 16:10
