    Honestly yeah. Finally got a Steam Deck. Found out it plays PSP games buttery smooth on a great screen and have yet to log any hours on actual triple-A games because nostalgia is happening

      Legitimately, apart from a handful of indie games I had in my Steam library that I hadn’t gotten around to playing yet (eg. Hades), I’ve shown the majority of my time playing SNES and PSP games.

      For some reason, I can’t get the controllers emulating for the PS1 correctly (both in Desktop and Deck modes); otherwise I’d be neck deep in Suikoden, Final Fantasy 9 and Tombi/Tomba too!

        If it’s any consolidation to your issue, I use https://www.emudeck.com/ Which will setup most of everything very well. I then run EmulationStation, and go to the alternative emulators section and run PS1 games through retroarch which will give you more options to configure your controls. I always save my remaps to the core so that all games played with use the same control config. Such as SNES games using A on the decks A button because I absolute HATE nintendos control scheme. :)

      i mean even your phone can definitely run psp games at full speed, even if it’s a budget phone from 2016.
      though mobile controllers are quirky (like stretching ones or whatever) and android is really not the best gaming platform (it just doesn’t feel right)

        I know it doesn’t feel as good as a PSP, I have one which only works plugged in to the wall, it is a big deal to me so I decided to take my save game and finish P3P in my phone with a Razer Kishi, it definitely made it feel better and the save games and fast forward features were a nice addition.

        I still feel what you said though… Some devices such as a Retroid Pocket 3+/4 seems like a better option and keeping it in the Android emulation side.

    I remember the early x86 games that were actually clocked to the CPU speed. You literally could play old games faster! Or just hit that turbo button!

    That’s exactly what I did when I got the PS5. I loved it. First year when it didn’t really have much that’s all I played. Games were getting patched to perform better on ps5 and it was incredible.

    Lol, same. Finally upgraded my GPU from a 1060 to a used 2060. Not exactly with the times, but a huge performance boost for me.

    I had several games on the back burner, so when I finished my time with Valheim I intended to finally play RDR2. And do you know what I did? I opened Mod Organizer 2 and installed the graphically intensive but wholly realistic Nature of the Wild Lands tree and flora mod for Skyrim that used to run at 40 FPS but now maintains a solid 60. So we’re playing Skyrim again…

    Note: I’m well aware that many people have moved on to Traverse the Ulvenwald over NotWL, but I personally think Ulvenwald makes some poor texture choices compared to Wild Lands (namely aspen trees) and as a result the woods look less convincing to me once properly compared within the game. Just isn’t worth the swaying animations.
