      @chucknowakowski6676 Emudeck at least. Emulating on the deck is a blast. But honestly the only tip I could give you is download a game in your library that you wanna play but haven’t and dive in. If you haven’t played Elden Ring or Ghosts of Tsushima yet make sure to purchase and download. Fantastic games that are fantastic on the deck.

    Just so you know, for any of the shortcuts involving the Steam button, you can use the three dots button as the Steam button and the combo will still work. That way you don't have to use your left thumb for activating the shortcut and awkwardly use your index finger to adjust the brightness on the thumbstick.

    • @AndrewTaylorYT

      Actually I’m pretty sure that is not even true. Difference are for one the OLED display. OLED displays don’t have any backlight. The battery and speakers are also better. It’s also does 90 hz and higher brightness. If you scroll down on my channels video page I did a video explaining what OLEDs are years ago. It’s one of my first videos so it’s not great but it explains what OLEDs are if you’re interested! Thanks again for watching!

    We’ve been loving emudeck as a family. I have it setup so that when we play Wii, we can have our true Wii motes connected to it. It’s been absolutely fantastic to play 4 player Wii games upscaled!
    The steam deck connects so easily to a tv. I rarely have any kind of display issues. Unlike my gaming pc when I try to connect it to the tv. It’s always a disaster haha.

      Emudeck is definitely a Godsend because you can just autoconfigure a bunch of emulators and link games to your Steam library for quick launch almost effortlessly
      It even sets the internal resolution for 3D platforms to a perfect balance for the deck's native resolution and hardware

      Does SD support Wii motes and also the bar? What about other Wii accessories?

    • @boborambow
      @boborambow 4 месяца назад

      @@JakaNastran Yup. As far as I can tell, it supports everything. In order for the Wii remotes to connect to the steam deck, you have to open Dolphin from the desktop. Go to the controller settings and enable continuous scanner for the Wii motes. Once you enable that, you can launch any games from the standard gaming mode. Now when you use a Wii mote and press 1 + 2 together, it will connect to the steam deck. As for the sensor bar, it is just showing some IR lights in it. So I bought a wireless one off of Amazon and just use that. it doesn’t actually have to connect to the steam deck.
      One issue though. I tried using third party controllers and I had issues. I had to use original OEM Wii motes. I bought some used ones from good will since they always have a bunch. I have a couple normal Wii motes and a couple Wii motion plus ones. They all work perfectly.

      @doingthedab4800 thanks man! I don’t have much PC handheld stuff planned. I wanna do a commentary about the steam deck though. Kind of loosely similar to the pokemon video I recently did. Wanna talk about “comfy gaming” and how handhelds and being able to just get cozy and play in bed on a small little system has been special for decades and how the steam deck brings that forward. Plenty of other videos for other stuff planned too. Thank you so much again!❤️

    How big of an SD card for EmuDeck would you recommend?

    • @AndrewTaylorYT
      @AndrewTaylorYT  Месяц назад

      Depends on what you wanna emulate. I exclusively do old Nintendo games and they are not big. I have a 512gb card but I’ve also put Steam games on there. I’ve got like 30 games in Emudeck and I think it might be taking up 15 gigs? If you’re trying to emulate more recent and bigger games then that space will be helpful. If not you could easily get away with 32gb or 64. 512 is just solid value if you want extra space just in case.

Carmageddon 2, despite being labeled as, “unsupported”, works like a dream, with just a little control mapping being the biggest issue.

    I bought a steam deck in around October last year. During that time I used it a lot and was fascinated by all the options it can provide besides the normal steam stuff. After time, I used it less and less and lost it during a fire that was affecting my home on March 6th this year. RIP to my deck. Now I'll wait until the real steam deck 2 is going to launch and I'll buy it and spend more time with it

    Nice video! While I didn't necessarily learn anything new here (I watch a lot of Steam Deck videos) it's always nice to see more creators getting the word out about the Deck.
    If you're willing to accept a suggestion - if you were to add the different chapters on the video's timeline/scrubber to line up with each suggestion I think it would really take your video to the next level.
    Looking forward to more content!

    #3 is basic shortcuts, I'd talk shit about it but its amazing how many youtubers include them in videos so i can only imagine how few people actually seem to realize they exist.
    #5 you didnt mention anything about needing roms for games or bios for certain systems. I know you mentioned there's a ton of videos that go into it, but that basic information could help a lot of people so they dont think its as easy as installing emudeck and magically having all the games they want.
    Other than man it's a good list, I'm downloading decky tonight. Thanks dude.

    • @AndrewTaylorYT
      @AndrewTaylorYT  5 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for watching! Number 3 is an interesting one. I agree that there is a surprising amount of people who don’t know any of them. Even me though. I knew them but I didn’t know the brightness toggle. I just use all of the buttons besides the keyboard so little that they get completely forgotten. #5 I totally mentioned needing roms and how I recommend installing Emudeck on a micro SD because you could then use a computer to dump roms onto it. I did not mention anything about bios which is correct and I would have if Emudeck didn’t handle all of the bios stuff on its own. I mentioned videos that go in depth into emulation and I said that specifically as the subject of emulation has a lot of depth but Emudeck handles a lot of the depth for you and all you need to do is load ROMs. I’m pretty sure I even define what a ROM actually is. I say something along the lines of “And if you don’t know what a ROM is, just know that it’s basically the game file. You download it and drop it into the file that’s for the console you have the game for.” Made sure to go over the basics so people could get up and playing! Thanks again for watching! Worked hard on the video and I’m glad people are enjoying it.😊
