Something i really appreciate about this is how you never make a backhanded remark about some of the games. Like it would of been so easy to say "If you're a masochist, this is how you can play Sonic 06 on the deck" but no. You tackled this as respectfully as possible and i love that about this vid.

For Sonic Frontiers, it's worth noting that Valve had a Steam Deck booth at Tokyo Game Show and had Sonic Frontiers advertised as "coming soon" to Steam Deck with a big poster at their booth, so it's likely SEGA is working with Valve to get the game Deck Verified for day one. Sonic Forces also runs incredibly well on the Steam Deck (at max settings at 60 FPS), and since both games use Hedgehog Engine 2, I'd say that bodes well for Sonic Frontiers. Frontiers will be the more intensive game but I'm sure 60 FPS Medium settings would probably work fine for it, at the bare minimum. Also if you have an Xbox Series X or Series S, it's possible to remote to it using your Steam Deck. I did this to play Sonic Unleashed in particular at 60 FPS on my Steam Deck. I unfortunately could not figure out how to remote to my Xbox from outside of my home and don't know if that's possible, but it worked great within my home and it's a really nice way to play Sonic Unleashed at 60 FPS, certainly better than seeing the 720p resolution being blown up to a modern TV screen. The controls were extremely responsive too and I don't even have a great internet connection compared to most. This of course could be used to play any other Sonic games you have on your Xbox, and can even be used to play Sonic Speed Simulator since Roblox has an Xbox One version (I personally found Speed Simulator had really choppy performance running natively on the Steam Deck so I much preferred just remoting to the Xbox).

It's worth noting that for sonic colors, the stutters are likely due to shader caching. Games not installed through steam won't have pre-compiled shaders, so they have to be built up during game play. Always results in stutters, but usually those stutters get better and stop eventually once enough of the shader cache is built

Just a heads up too - Sonic Heroes had a PC port playable on Steamdeck but the game isn’t available to purchase on Steam. (Here’s hoping we get Sonic Heroes Ultimate one day on Steam!). Sonic Megacollection Plus also had a PC port but like you said redundancy appears as most of the games are in the genesis collection and others.

I haven't played too much of Project '06, but yes, Silver's campaign is indeed playable on Steam Deck. I'm also really glad you mentioned the Heroic Games Launcher as well. That was how I was able to get the Epic Games variants of the Kingdom Hearts games on the I.5 + II.5 Collection up and running. A word of warning, however: you have to do a bit more lef work to get the games running. On Desktop Mode, you have to set the right .exe path to whatever game in the collection you wish to play. Otherwise, you'll just go to the game selection menu, pick your game and get booted back to the Epic Games Launcher. The opening and closing FMV's won't play either because those are connected to the Theater path. Nevertheless, these are small prices to pay to play these games portably.

Linux support has changed drastically since I put my first disc with a generic MSI installler on it, and wine breaking back in 2015. I've been watching the scene for so long now. I'm happy with it.

I've had my Steam Deck for 1,5 months and have been using it as a Linux tablet as much as I'm gaming on it. Both the hardware and software are extremely well thought out and to me it's very comfortable to use. I'm typing this entire comment with it's duel trackpad typing and have learned to use FlickStick on it. Software wise the Game Mode optimalisations are very impressive and Desktop Mode unsurprisingly is very usable, this being standard KDE Plasma with some added software to make it work with the weird inputs. It runs my current favourite games, namely Okami and Vintage Story, nearly perfectly and has over 5 hours of battery life in these titles and Desktop Mode. The combination of the interesting input hardware, specialised Linux OS, great performance and repairable hardware makes it my favourite device with a processor. There's nothing like it, it's both like the Linux tablet I've been trying to make for years and the gaming console I wanted in one reasonably priced package.

haha, went and downloaded a couple sonic games just yesterday, funny timing for this video! some emulators (like the 3ds) just don't run well on the steam deck for whatever reason, they need to be optimized a bit better for Linux & the deck.

What’s interesting about Team Sonic Racing is that it’s listed as unsupported on the Steam Deck yet it runs perfectly fine! I’ve been having a lot of fun playing that on mine. Thinking of downloading Generations on it and getting those mods for good performance

I am sure this has already been brought up but I think its wild that the trackpad was bought up here in relation to sega sonic the hedgehog with being a good trackball replacement, *because that was the point of it originally* the original steam controller was designed with 2 Haptic Feedback trackpads because valve thought that a trackball would be the best Replacement for mouse movement on a controller (ok yes they thought motion would be better but due to negative perseption of motion controle at the time they chose to go with the trackball instead... before adding in a gyro anyway and everyone prefering to use that), but the Descision was made to switch it for trackpads that could emulate the feel of a Ball because that also allowed for the surface to be mapped to button contoles.

I LOVE my Steam Deck! Portable AMD and Linux power that plays most of my library - how could I say no? And you've literally gone and made a Steam Deck Sonic video just to I'm the kind of weirdo that likes to dump all my own games (well, I did get dodgy copies of Heroes, Chaotix SegaSonic and Battle out of curiosity at one point but Heroes and Chaotix are the only ones I've actively engaged with), so that means my Sonic library is pitifully small; consisting of just what I could get on Steam as well as both versions of Colours (via Cleanrip and Wood Dumper for Wii and DS respectively) plus the Advance trilogy which I dumped via my GBxCart RW. I also ripped the Game Gear games from Adventure 1; although I did somehow manage to forget the Drift games. Still, I shall take your suggestion to heart and get SegaSonic going in MAME. I can't wait to credit-feed my way through it again, this time with more bearable controls than the arrow keys. I wonder if I'll actually escape the tower this time. For the 3DS games that aren't behaving, maybe try lowering the internal resolution? As beefy as the Deck is, it's still stuck with integrated graphics (RDNA2-based to be fair so it's not like Intel UHD) so it may have trouble running them. Emudeck's default Citra configuration integer scales to 480p by default, so it may be easier on the poor thing if it goes down to the 3DS' native 240p. In terms of fan games, I downloaded the Flatpak for SRB2 and SRB2Kart and, honestly, SRB2 just feels wrong with a controller. I'm so used to playing it with a keyboard that my precision is all off - ESPECIALLY in the NiGHTS Stages, where the analogue controls simply don't have the same precision as the 8-way keyboard inputs. Still, I'd take it over the Android port any day and the fact that SRB2's default resolution is that of the Steam Deck to begin with just makes it even better. And, speaking of Android ports, S3AIR runs like a charm so I don't have to go anywhere near that godforsaken mobile port that I shall forever asociate with the kids who invaded us from the FNF page. Here's a tip, there's a sample mod that adds a 16:10 option so that you can fit. You can find it in the "docs/sample-mods" folder.
