Thanks for the video! @8:12 you mention disabling SMT as well as pinning the GPU to 1000Mhz; should we put these settings back to default when playing our regular Steam games, or can we just leave them as is and not take performance/compatibility hits while playing big new AAA games?

Hi, I am happy to see you keep covering emulation topics. While I am not interested into current gen emulation, this is really good to see how it turns out to be. Can't wait to test them out in a few years.

Hey Tuncay! Thanks! Definitely understandable re: current gen

Who needs a switch when you have the superior Steam Deck , and it's only been a year

This is a great tutorial for people who want to step up their emulation experience on the Deck, but i hope it doesn't deter off people that aren't comfortable making seemingly "significant" changes to their Deck. I've been emulating everything including the Switch, having done nothing but install and setup EmuDeck, with no other additional changes or mods to the Deck whatsoever and the performance I'm getting is comparable if not identical to the results gotten from this video. Games I often play when emulating Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Super Mario Odyssey, ACNH and The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening (which requires to set gpu accuracy to high in Yuzu to address some graphical glitches).

Hey, great video! I was curious if there was a noticeable difference between mainline Yuzu and early access? Also is there a reason y'all went with EA-3273 over any other version? Thanks for the info.

You deserve every sub you get… fantastic content!

You must have put so much effort into making these 👏 new sub from me.

Great video! Should’ve put the games original cards next to the SteamDeck, hopefully this video doesn’t get taken down

Nice to see a collab between two of my favorite steam deck channels.

dbrand and us Steam Pals are playing with fire. I love it!

can say today with the oled deck and latest default version of yuzu, adding these settings improved my performance incredibly! Games I play went from unplayable to 60fps.

I love those skins, as any chance to put the screws to the mighty "N" is always beyond welcome. My son just past by while watching your video, and he just said if he ever gets a Steam Deck, he wants those skins. As he's a Switch fan, and that would make his deck the pro he never got from them. LOL

great vid!

Great info and very helpful! The only thing now is that I wish there were easier methods/guides showing how to get games working that use Mii's for example Mario Kart. There are a few more steps on how to get games like that working but it can get a little confusing. Also I never got those games to work when using Yuzu from emudeck but did get it working if I installed it standalone. Lastly it would also be nice showing people how to transfer your save data from Switch to yuzu with the included update and dlc files. I am usually grind a lot in games and I don't want to start over just to play the game on my Steam Deck.

Love the switch skin and this video. Also, at least for Pokemon Scarlet, I use my home PC + Moonlight to get a locked 30fps. Not a perfect, portable solution - but since I'm home most of the time when I play - this works for me, and feels better than switch in my opinion. 6 hours played so far!

In my Watch Later queue...but Nintendo so also downloaded to make sure I can watch it when my Steam Deck gets here this week.

That Switch skin is pretty sick!

I don't remember setting up anything special for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope but a few weeks ago I remember it working for me with just some stutters when there was heavy animations. If you are interested I can look again on what my settings were.

Fantastic video!, Shame I've already got a Skin from dbrand for my deck cause that switch skin is amazing.

Man you own an awesome switch deck....I'll give you that! :)

Great video! Just wanted to ask how the recommended settings effect regular game performance? If it effects it negatively, is there any 'easy' way to swap between best settings for PC/steam deck games and best settings for (Switch) emulation? At the moment, I'm only willing to modify SMT and GPU hertz as they're quite easy to change. Modifying BIOS files to jump between Witcher 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe doesn't sound too appealing.

@aftdawn

SMT and GPU Clock are done in the quick access menu, the only thing that requires changing for all of this in the BIOS is the VRAM setting, which wouldn't* hurt performance any *at the least it shouldn't, if it does then oh well

Awesome video! I've tried Zelda BotW on the WiiU emulator for the Steam Deck and it runs perfect! I haven't tried any Yuzu emulation yet. Is there a site that lists Switch games and how well they run on the Steam Deck so I'm not wasting my time?

You should get a little 3D printed Mario hat to put on top of a USB C cable when it's plugged into the deck. So it looks like Mario is controlling the deck like how it works in Mario Odyssey lmao.

EPIC video! Been emulating BOTW on Yuzu, and learned some things here, now it runs 30 FPS mostly locked and looks really good 👍

Great video thank you. I am absolutely going to support your sponsor for supporting you by buying what you showcased for my son. He's gonna love it!

Once the Nintendo Switch 2 (Super Switch in my preference) releases we’ll have to see if it can 1 up Valve’s Steam Deck in power and performance. It may seem impossible…. But only improbable.

11:27 maybe I need to update yuzu, but I’ve tested kirby and the forgotten land only to have severe lighting and texture glitches to the point it looks like a modern game freak game. Edit: so after updating Emudeck, the game works perfectly, so just a heads up to anyone else having trouble, make sure your app is up to date.

I'm a big fan of the Metroid games, but I don't want to buy a switch just to play that, or Bayonetta. Nice to know that I can play these games on the Steam Deck, gives me much more reason to get one!

I like that skin.

Nice! I wanted to replay Legends Arceus again but the SteamDeck has spoiled me. I don’t want to pick up my Switch. I can’t wait to play it on the Deck!

Thank you so much for saying Pokemon Scarlet and Violet isn't optimised and didn't blame the Switch for its power capabilities like everyone else.

Could you share the Yuzu settings for the games? Do they all have the same setup? There's plenty of options, most important is the resolution scale. Were you playing 1x resolution all the time? For many titles I use x0,75 resolution to make the FPS much better.

dbrand are such madlads I can't

Do you download the games directly to the deck or on a different pc / transfer ?

If Nintendo next system is going to be an outdated system I can not wait for the steam deck slim as I will use it to sail the seven seas and play any title imaginable.

Always keep in mind these are new games on a new system, running on Linux which usually gets less support. emulation on the steam deck is only in its infancy and we're already getting great results, even without hardware upgrades more optimizations and breakthroughs will be found and I wouldn't be surprised if when the dust settles that the steam deck has near full compatibility with switch, ps3, and maybe even Xbox 360 titles. Not to mention that's all on top of thousands of PC games and most ps4 exclusives, I just can't get over how insane the steam deck is in raw number of games it can(or could one day) play on the go

@lucass8119

Contrary to general compatibility guidelines, Linux gets much more support than Windows in Console land or emulation land. Most consoles use a Linux or Unix operating system, like the Playstations. Xbox is the exception, of course. They not only support OpenGL/vulcan but generally ONLY target OpenGL/vulcan. The reason being DirectX is microsoft technology, and therefore is Xbox only. On top of this, Linux software is generally very compatible with Arm, while windows is x86 only. This is why you can run Linux on a Raspberry Pi, or your refrigerator, or your console. These conditions mean that console emulation on Linux is superb. Virtually all emulators were Linux software, and have since been ported to Windows.

@blm7929

11 ай бұрын

Linux isn't a new system... and emulators are here since years (maybe before Windows). All consoles but XBox are running on Linux like/ BSD. The emulation on Steam Deck uses softwares that already exists before the Steam Deck and are not made just for the Steam Deck: Yuzu's first version was released in july 2018 and was already on Linux (written in C++ and QT which is widely used on Linux softwares).

After making these changes, do I need to revert back to play everything else on my deck or are the VRAM and utilities changes a positive for my deck overall?

Till now I found no solution to get that fixed :/ I used yuzu 1394 and than downloaded version 3501 on my Steam Deck and with both version the same I tried different settings but...

hi there! Are there any differences now compared to 7 months ago?

I love Decky Loader, but for some reason after a few reboots/updates it disappears and has to be reinstalled. Am i doing something wrong, or thats perfectly normal?

So I'm just probably going to stick with the light pickup and play games instead of less hassle, there is a bit of tinkering to getting these games to run which I won't have a lot of time for, it's a shame there is no feedback for metroid prime remaster as I wish to try that on the deck

Seeing as how Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope are unplayable at the time of this video, how is it like to run Go Vacation and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle on the Steam Deck through Yuzu?

Ryujinx uses proper multithreading, so it runs best with SMT on and seeting the Manual GPU Clock to a different value on a per-game basis. I find that (with Cryoutilities) Ryujinx is just 100% better than Yuzu - runs better, less crashes, boots quicker - the only disadvantage is that it doesn't have as good mod support, and it doesn't support forcing FXAA for games that don't have anti-alising.

ok... ive tried this, all the steps did everything and i even tried with BOTW and it ran perfect, running with 30 fps... wtf. everywhere i read it says that BOTW runs like ass on the deck but ive tried MANY switch games and the all runs fuckign perfect.

Couldn’t get Beyo to work on yuzu. Maybe i missed a good setup video cuz i was getting white glitch of death screen the whole time.
