Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy :)

It can, but you’ve got to find the people passionate about it who will make that happen.

These tools are out there now, and others may see how its been done and try use the same technique for other games. Time will tell!

There’s a thread on restera which details every game which is focused on right now - for decompilation projects. Its in this link here:

“I like to have an index of the decompilations that are being worked on, so here it is. I will try to keep this updated regularly. Also i consider a project as “active” if there have been updates in the past 6 months”

It’s a great resource to save and bookmark!!!

Now this has been done, the team have made the tools available to learn from. I’ve seen a lot of users in forums talking about how they’re planning to tackle other games from the same gen of gaming, so…I’d say given some time we’ll have a good chance of a lot of games getting the same treatment!!!

Honestly, I have no idea! I was on Lemmy years ago, but only just returned a few days ago, so I’m still re-learning the ropes :)

And thank you for saying so! I have a blast writing these. I plan to do it weekly, so I guess subscribe to this community, and you should see it (hopefully) in just under a week’s time!

You could just follow me on Mastodon too, if that’s easier. I’m sure I’ll direct people over to it when the time comes to post another:

The ‘SteamGridDB’ plugin is the one which does this!

Pastel pretty colors?

Okay judging by all these anti-gray/beige comments I’m an outlier in what I find lovely, but even this looks nice to me!!!

If you’re happy with EmuDeck, and how it performs/where it stores things…then by all means stick to it! There’s no need to abandon one for another. You can always just try RetroDECK, if you have a micro SD card its even handier that way as it will install there. Watch this, just so you’ve got a good idea of things!

As to uninstalling, if you’re dead-set and serious about removing it entirely, then I’m happy to help you via DM if you’d like? It can store data in so many different places, which really made me so cross. I know the spots though, happy to take you through it step-by-step if you’d like. I’m here, and on Mastodon, and Matrix if any of those places work best for you (and, if you do need help!)

I guess I have the fact that I wasnt alive for that ‘era’ of gaming, so its maybe a bit more fascinating to me to see a more utilitarian design over what we get now.

I dislike the move in PCs and consoles where everything has RGB (you’ll see it everywhere on SBC retro handhelds), or just looks garish. To me this boxy-box just looks BEAUTIFUL. Gray/beige hardware wins me over every time

I missed you too!!!

Thank you!!!

I’m still cross (not really tho) that when I reached out to you all last year, you never wanted me to interview you!!!

RetroDECK has been my one true emulation love for so long now, and I’ve adored all your recent updates. You should all be so proud! I went into a little more detail for the users here on RetroDECK on my latest news post here on Lemmy too!

Check the link in my post, it links you to Russ (Retro Game Corps) new video on it, and he will detail how!

Or, I also write about it in a guide I made last year, here:

https://rentry.org/steamdeckpirates-retrodeck_guide

HAH!

Okay, maybe my phrasing was a bit silly!

You’re right, I should edit this and mention that fact! At least its a once-off payment of $5 or so, and personally I’m beyond happy to support devs for their countless hours of work. Esp when it works so well!

But, this is why we’re lucky to also have Heroic as an option!

I’m sorry, that’s not really my scene! I haven’t ever played any PC racing games locally (which makes me seem rather sad, doesn’t it?)

I can recommend Mario Kart 8, emulated, for this though! Which might or might not be something you’d consider. Friends and I often play this through my Steam Deck or PC!

Keep an eye out for it! It does go on sale quite regularly! It was also given away for free via Epic Games’ weekly giveaways, so if you claim those then you might have forgotten you own it!

In fact using GOGDB you can see just how regularly it goes on sale, and kinda time when it will next be cheap! I can’t recommend it enough, it’s my fav racing game of all, it’s SO pretty on the Deck

You’re so welcome :)

I hope its not too disappointing for you! Either way, I’m glad it now has a good home

The whole thing is VERY easy through Heroic Games Launcher. I’d recommend starting there!

Which ones have you found incompatible?

I haven’t found one which won’t work for me. At the very least, if you run say Steam on your Linux desktop, you can download the offline backup on your games files and then:

• Install ProtonTricks
• Download GE-Proton (whatever the latest is!)
• Go to your offline backup folder with the game files, and add the executable file to Steam (right-click, add to Steam)
• From within Steam, go to properties and then compatibility, and choose your GE-Proton
• Run the installer (I recommend making it install to: /home /deck /Games
• Remove the setup from Steam
• Once the game is installed wherever you wanted it to go to (I recommend making a folder in your ‘home’ folder called ‘Games’), find the game’s executable file ‘ArtOfRally.exe’ for example, and do the same: right-click on it, add to Steam, then again in properties choose GE
• Play the game. 9/10 times you’ll find the dependencies covered by GE-Proton, in the rare case it isn’t, you can use something like Lutris to do this!

But…again I haven’t had any issues. If you can think of a game title you haven’t been able to run by using Heroic Games Launcher, then let me know, and if I have it I will troubleshoot it for you! More than happy to help :)
