Hello all, How are you all doing? When it comes to emulation front end which do you prefer on Steam Deck/why? I plan to use EmuDeck, record gameplay using DeckyLoader & edit clips desktop mode on Steam Deck using Dock setup to a external monitor. Do you save ROMs to internal storage or SD Card? What console generations can these front ends run? For example I want to run xemu, xenia & PS3 emulator & planning on purchasing Steam Deck OLED model.
Nothing too special - I install nearly every emulator installed by default in the Emudeck experience - nothing is standalone in Steam, I’ve got everything in EmulationStation, and that launches the roms either in Retroarch or standalone, if I deem standalone to be superior.
All of my saves and my Switch (Ryujinx) user data are synchronized between my Steam Deck and a few computers in my house so I can pick up and play/continue from where I left off on another computer.
My main departure from default is that I use Ryujinx instead of Yuzu. Yuzu works better for a lot of games, but the way that DLC and updates are set up can be kind of annoying. It also recognizes games more quickly than Yuzu, which sometimes needs an update. Because of this, I like to be on the cutting edge of updates, and sometimes you have to wait with Retrodeck (unless they’ve changed something).
Cheers for the detailed reply. I plan to use Steam Deck OLED exclusively until May, when I want to invest in a new PC & been looking at an i5 build with Arc A750 GPU for editing. What are your current PC specs?
