Last year I dreamed of a "perfect SD handheld" that can emulate all consoles before PS3, Valve basically made my dream come true and exceeded. Can't wait for my purchase email!
"Perfect SD handheld that can emulate all consoles before PS3" You mean android phones nowedays? I can and I do emulate PS2, 3DS, Gamecube or Wii on my Asus Rog phone.
@@TheOwwen stfu dont try to compare a Phone with the deck lol, not even close, but yes yes keep playing all the emulators on your Phone let the adults play how it should be.
I can confirm PCSX2 runs perfectly. I've tried a half dozen games and they all ran flawlessly. (Through the flatpack, I didn't have any luck with the Retroarch core)
The best of Steam Deck emulation is that it is a closed hardware, so people can share Shader Cache files to play almost stutter free. This is mind blowing...

Even the performance is like a PS3 on demanding titles. Although, you probably can tweak a bit on the graphics to get stable 30 fps. The patchy/broken audio on Persona 5 can be fix. You just have to tweak the audio settings. It happens to me on my old gtx860M laptop.
It’s the only downside of this handheld’s SoC, imo, being 4c on Zen 2. That said, it can run everything else I would expect and looks like a fantastic portable Linux box.
What impresses me the most in this video actually is how well you navigate the desktop. I just got a Steam controller but sadly it's buggy in Ubuntu 20.04 but I can see its potential. I wonder of typing in the Steam Controller is present in the Deck.
Oh interesting, I wonder if that’s from the hardware or software side. I’ve only used it on Windows with Steam itself, but I never got that used to the touchpads and ended up using the joystick and face buttons more often. They seem to work well at least.

This is beyond expectations. I read before release on the RPCS3 subreddit by the Devs (I think) that the deck won't be able to emulate PS3 games except for light ones. But here it is, not perfect, but it can emulate some games well. Nice!
@@EnjoyVideos99 I wonder if RPCS3 will release patches specifically targeted towards the Deck, imagine playing P5 at 30fps. Personally I would want to play R&C at full frames too, but we’ll have to wait and see.
I know you're probably planning to do the whole lot, but if so PS3 is an unexpected second choice after the switch. I was not expecting it to perform so well, the people who made that emulator are incredible! I might install this just to play azura's wrath, I got the disk but before I played it I heard they locked the ending in dlc, so I never played... But if everything's free I can actually play the full game I thought I was paying for. Neat. Thanks for the video.
I don't recommend Asura's Wrath, it's literally an anime with a LOT of quick time events and lacks of Gameplay a lot. And of top of that, very short game. I can't say is bad, but don't go for it if you are looking for a Game, you'll definately get dissapointed.
@@joseguedez5857 Appreciate the warning. I won't be too let down if I don't like it, I kind of just want to get the dlc for free to symbolically flip off the company for doing what they did.
@@prw56 Yeah i played the game on my 360, but i won't buy the DLC, i rather watching the gameplay on RUclips since there is no difference at all. Tho if you want to try no matter what, go for it
But GPD said that this was a CLOSED system and that the capitalists won’t allow you to run emulators ! /S Former GPD Win 3 user; can’t wait for my Steam Deck to arrive. Great overview!
@@znspyder We are gonna have most of the games from the pc world, most of the games from the ps1, ps2, ps3, and all of nintendo consoles ... thats just something else ..
@@DatCorrupted I dont know about you but the switch is very uncofortable to hold. I got some different controllers, bigger, so i can hold it well in my hands. The size and shape of the steam deck is perfect in my opinion.
Be careful, since the app is in the internal storage, all extra files and HDD games install in the internal storage. Even Blu-ray games on the sd card can install GBs of data in the internal storage. There needs to be an install option to put on the app on micro sd., so internal is not used.
I hope so much we get simplified GUIs for RPCS3 and Switch emulators other than RetroArch to use on the SteamDeck or any gamepad optimised machine for that matter.
Do we need to run games via the rpcs3 ui or, once we have a game setup how we like, can we use a shell script to launch the emulator directly in game? I ask for Steam UI library reasons. It'd be nice to have all installed games launched directly from Steam in a more seemless manor rather than handing off to another launcher for each emulator.
If it's like in Windows you can just manually add many rpcs3.exe as non-steam games and add each game location separately in every target in Launch Options
This video also showcased some cool ps3 games I haven't heard about/played like that 50 cent game, asura's wrath, ratchet and clank into the nexus and made me really want to try them out
Dolphin next please! Is it possible to show gamecube games in your library with pictures and click on those to load each game or do you have to open Dolphin each time first?
Hey all, long time KDE user here. The KDE project Falkon is a power efficient browser with touch support and ad blocking. Probably a better browser for steamdeck usability.
But, kde seriously needs to optimize their ui for touchscreens atleast a little bit. Or atleast there must be an option for touch specific users. Used plasma 5.23 on my surface pro and the touch experience is terrible.
I thank you for this because I could not get games to work on this thing. Controller did nothing for me. Just realized that installing rpcs3 through emudeck was my issue. When I just installed it from the store instead as a flatpak and followed this vid I’m playing games I haven’t played in years. Thanks 🙏🏼
The real problem its that we don't have enough life to play everything, that make me sad :/ we need to live like 150+ years to enjoy everything that has been made, that with out counting what is next lol.
I highly recommended using the arch packages to any Emulator or compile it from the source, emulators are very sensitive to all these none (native) packages like flatpak etc.
Any evidence of this? Flatpak / AppImages / Snap may add time when first launching the application, and should have the exact same performance as any other package format. There's maybe sandboxing issues when accessing other files on your system, but nothing performance related.
@@mikewhy709 I got endless troubles with AppImage (which should run like native) with PCSX2 image it never worked for me crashes when launching the game.
i tried to run Tales Of Berseria with Rpcs 3 with flatpak and got 1 frame per second when the 3d models showed up but then i deleted the flatpak, built from source, and its running at the full 30 fps...oh and by the way that was a 5900x top tier processor that beat intel for a whole ass year with a gtx 970.
Be careful, since the app is in the internal storage, all extra files and HDD games install in the internal storage. Even Blu-ray games can install GBs of data in the internal storage. There needs to be an install option to put on the micro sd.
I always thought I've already subscribed because I see you on my youtube all the time. Man you are quick. Cant wait to see how everything works on Windows! Patiently waiting for your videos while you wait for the drivers
Unfortunately RPCS3 is really cpu heavy, it asks for like 8 cores at minimum. But hopefully they optimize this emulator in the future. If possible test CEMU, PCSX2 and 3DS emulator.
As of yesterday, Final Fantasy XIII-2 has apparently been put into the "unsupported" category. I was surprised to discover that a game from 10 years ago is unsupported when a game from a few days ago with reportedly poor PC optimization (Elden Ring) runs mostly fine. The main reason I grabbed XIII-2 in a sale was because I was hoping to try the XIII trilogy for the first time when I get my Deck. I really wasn't expecting anything in my Steam library to be unsupported, since my library is a bunch of old stuff and indie stuff. A brief Googling seems to indicate that XIII-2 had a pretty garbage PC port that required mods to get it running, even on PC towers. Anyway, I find myself curious as to whether the PS3 version of XIII-2 could be emulated on the Deck and if that would run better than the Steam version. I'm in the "after Q2" group, so I could hold on to hope that the issue will be resolved by then, but I get the impression that waiting for Square to fix a PC port is kind of like waiting for the points to matter on Whose Line is it Anyway, so I think I'd like to learn about PS3 emulation just in case.
I see you quite carefully trying to move the cursor over scroll bars, then clicking and dragging to move through content. If this is set up at all like the Steam Controller, then the left trackpad should be set up to function as a scroll wheel. Or maybe that is something you need to configure. In any case, I find that basically essential when trying to use the desktop on my PC from my sofa, so I thought it would be useful here too.
You don't need to add RPCS3 to Steam in order to get the controller working. If you select "evdev" from the list of controllers it'll turn into an Xbox pad. I don't know if there's a difference with the flatpak version though. I downloaded from the website.
@@TheAbsol7448 It's just mindblowing to think all the potential game libraries you'll be able to access on the Deck. Hoping Cemu, Xenia, and Xemu perform well on here as well.
When I tried emulating Burnout Paradise my steam deck started getting extremely hot and I mean hotter than any game I even have like Elden Ring and Re2 remake which is more demanding than a game from 2008.
Thanks for this video. Please include games that dont work as well. It is interesting to see how well things run AND how bad things run. Its more interesting to me to see then you just telling us. Thank you!
Will you be able to do a battery test with some of these PS3 emulations like a ratchet and clank, it’s a game I could see myself emulating and want to know roughly how long the battery will last on it
Could you install Batocera on an sdcard and use it with ps2 and other emulators? I really like Emulation Station frontend and not sure if Batocera or Steam Rom Manager is the way to go for sdcards. Also would be nice to see a full mame arcade setup running on Steam Deck.
@@FinalNightmare1992 Why is clickbait even needed for a Steam deck video? You could post a video of someone shoving a Steam deck up their ass and people will click. Lol.
Is there anything that the Steam Deck can't do? It's like having current gen and last gen consoles, as well as arcade games, all in one, in the palms of my hands.
This is a great tutorial. How do you create save states on the steam deck? I find if I put my game in sleep mode, and then wake it, the game freezes and I have you restart from the last official save point. Thanks for all your help!
This is great (there were stuttering here and there in both ratchet & clank and P5 but those might be the exceptions if they are physically demanding games on the deck's hardware), this still looks very promising!
Can the Deck run cyberpunk? tryin to justify whether I should pick up the first iteration since I already have the win max (and that has egpu support unlike SD).. I like the clamshell more than switch style as well..
You should get more than 8 or 9 fps in GoW 3. Did you try use GoW 3 cheats/patches (specific patches to improve frame rate). This can make a huge difference.
Do you recommend installing the RPCS3, Yuzu, etc. manually or is Emudeck the way to go? What's different in the setup process when you use Emudeck? Thanks!
honestly seeing those high temps is kinda sad cause I feel like we will never be able to reach higher tdp on the deck even if mods are eventually avaible
This tutorial would have been 10 times better if you would add the following info: What type of files does RCPS3 read? 7z? .ISO? Unpacked (PS3_GAME + PS3_DISC.SFB)? How do you add the games instead of "Just add the games", I know that, but how if you dont know what type of file you need???
Would have been nice to run Uncharted 2 or even the original Uncharted if you were gonna put it on the thumbnail... Looks great though. I think the Steam Deck could be an ideal way to play ps3 games with it having a 12800px by 800px screen.
Tbh this seems something I am looking forward to the only thing I would do is probably lower the settings and stuff on the emulator so I can play them at faster speeds

Once Shader Caches drop for these titles it'll remove a large amount of the stuttering! can't wait!!
I'm really excited for RPCS3, Xenia, Ryujinx, and Cemu.
If you install Ice or Steam ROM Manager, you can have the games show up in the steam UI, and will be able to launch them directly.
I'm surprised it runs this well out of the box. Imagine how well it'll do once they optimize for this

I'm gonna have to put a 1TB Micro SD in mine and upgrade the 512GB SSD to a 1TB SSD.
@@TheAbsol7448 It's just mindblowing to think all the potential game libraries you'll be able to access on the Deck. Hoping Cemu, Xenia, and Xemu perform well on here as well.
Can't wait to try this out! I'll have to dump all my old PS3 games in preparation for my Deck to come. Thank you for the guide!
Finally!! Can’t wait to play Ridge Racer 7 and Virtua Fighter on a handheld!
When I tried emulating Burnout Paradise my steam deck started getting extremely hot and I mean hotter than any game I even have like Elden Ring and Re2 remake which is more demanding than a game from 2008.
Thanks for this video. Please include games that dont work as well. It is interesting to see how well things run AND how bad things run. Its more interesting to me to see then you just telling us. Thank you!
Much much better than expected. Wow!
woooow this looks surprisingly optimized!!!!
Will you be able to do a battery test with some of these PS3 emulations like a ratchet and clank, it’s a game I could see myself emulating and want to know roughly how long the battery will last on it
Demon souls will be the first game I play on ps3 emulator. So stoked to get mine
Could you install Batocera on an sdcard and use it with ps2 and other emulators? I really like Emulation Station frontend and not sure if Batocera or Steam Rom Manager is the way to go for sdcards.
Also would be nice to see a full mame arcade setup running on Steam Deck.
Thank you! helped fix the few issues I was having.
you put uncharted on thumbnail and no uncharted in video. Very disappointed
I just subbed and I'm ready to unsub.
Click bait asf. Pissed me off
@@FinalNightmare1992 Why is clickbait even needed for a Steam deck video? You could post a video of someone shoving a Steam deck up their ass and people will click. Lol.
Hell yea I love Virtual fighter 5 and runs so smooth can’t wait !!!
so this portable device is half as slow as my laptop im watching this on very impressive
Clickbait thumbnail
This is phenomenal! Uncharted and Tokyo Jungle please!
just amazing, I can imagine playing asura's wrath and smashing buttons on my steamdeck lol
sick, judging by this tokyo jungle should work perfectly
bad part is that i have to wait for Q2 to get my steam deck.
Good part is that by then there will be more stuff like this available by then.
Oh I can’t wait till my Steamdeck ships sometime after Q3…looking forward to emulating on it
Can you make a video showing Batocera running on the steam deck from a micro sd card?
I greatly enjoyed your video about Nintendo's Switch Pro.
Im interested about performance of older God of War and Uncharted games, since their latest games are/will be on PC now.
Is there anything that the Steam Deck can't do? It's like having current gen and last gen consoles, as well as arcade games, all in one, in the palms of my hands.
Holy fuck. Persona 5 on a handheld device = mind blown.
Ooh Persona on the steam deck! Now that is fun!
This is a great tutorial. How do you create save states on the steam deck? I find if I put my game in sleep mode, and then wake it, the game freezes and I have you restart from the last official save point. Thanks for all your help!
@The Phawx, you're the man
Love your videos
Holy S**T, thank you for the Tutorial!
Awesome ! Waiting for my SteamDeck 😭
That performance is something else, man.
I really wish you'd provide links to some of the stuff you talk about sometimes.
This is great (there were stuttering here and there in both ratchet & clank and P5 but those might be the exceptions if they are physically demanding games on the deck's hardware), this still looks very promising!
Can the Deck run cyberpunk? tryin to justify whether I should pick up the first iteration since I already have the win max (and that has egpu support unlike SD).. I like the clamshell more than switch style as well..
It runs at around 37 frames on medium settings
@@FinalNightmare1992 nice!! That's pretty great I wonder if deck 2 will get to 60fps at those settings
Woah this is very cool hopefully it can be further optimized to run even better
Thumbnail shows uncharted 2 just as bait?
You should get more than 8 or 9 fps in GoW 3. Did you try use GoW 3 cheats/patches (specific patches to improve frame rate). This can make a huge difference.
Do you recommend installing the RPCS3, Yuzu, etc. manually or is Emudeck the way to go? What's different in the setup process when you use Emudeck? Thanks!
I’d love to see Puppeteer, a cool game that isn’t available on any other platform.
honestly seeing those high temps is kinda sad cause I feel like we will never be able to reach higher tdp on the deck even if mods are eventually avaible
Anything below the thermal limit is ok 👍
Ok this sold me over the Ayn Odin
Persona 5, The Darkness & the 2-3 Ratchet games on a portable ?! Dammmmn, always wanted that :D.
This tutorial would have been 10 times better if you would add the following info:
What type of files does RCPS3 read? 7z? .ISO? Unpacked (PS3_GAME + PS3_DISC.SFB)? How do you add the games instead of "Just add the games", I know that, but how if you dont know what type of file you need???
Would have been nice to run Uncharted 2 or even the original Uncharted if you were gonna put it on the thumbnail... Looks great though. I think the Steam Deck could be an ideal way to play ps3 games with it having a 12800px by 800px screen.
It's a shame the deck doesn't quite have enough juice to 60fps lollipop chainsaw. That would have been a dream
Where do you get your roms? I’m having the hardest time finding them
my mans really out here playing the ps3 50 cent game on a handheld device
Tbh this seems something I am looking forward to the only thing I would do is probably lower the settings and stuff on the emulator so I can play them at faster speeds
Apparently the latest steam deck client update has an option to manually select which window you want to view, maybe it will help with the flickering.
