@montymint It's just another example though of 'everyone's thinking it or doing it....but we can't talk about it' which sucks. I do get where you're coming from and appreciate your response though.

If it's any consolation I too enjoy emulation (I'm of an age where 16-bit is very near and dear to me) and It does suck that I need to use reddit / discord etc to talk about it there, rather than here where I am more active as a user.
Allowing some talk is actually a loosing of the guidelines anyway - there are plenty of resources available with a quick google. The forum is a byproduct of the store, not a tech forum in its own right.Same
As a mod though, do you not have some sway to loosen things up a bit? I do get though it either has to be fully balls in or out for discussing this type of thing, otherwise it would be a pain to monitor....
There are already emulated games / bundles sold on steam, for example: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10143/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics/Id love for Valve to release systems with sets of games on the Steam store. Maybe then development for remasters (like 007) could come onto the store and we could see the likes of multiplayer 007 on PC / Steam Deck![]()
I don't think things are going to get much "looser" than what he's described, as some of the companies with IP that is infringed by emulation have very good, and sometimes bored in house lawyers.Same

I'm not sure the game looks much better at high settings either. The graphics don't blow me away or anything. Bit of a shame the performance is kind of naff considering.Graphics looked very poor when I tried, I also couldn't get on with the controls. I didn't try to tweak anything though.
Totally understand that. Sometimes I'll load up a game on it and wish I were playing on my desktop instead, usually because the controls make it less enjoyable or sometimes the performance isn't so good.My deck is a paper weight these days, novelty wore off ages ago and I rarely pick it up now, I loved it at first but now I just want more raw processing power so always use my PC. I did end up streaming to it using Parsec but even stopped doing that.

Its ease of access for me. From power on from sleep to playing Tetris with a reloaded save state takes 7 seconds.My deck is a paper weight these days, novelty wore off ages ago and I rarely pick it up now, I loved it at first but now I just want more raw processing power so always use my PC.

Which version of Tetris are you playing? Id like a decent tetris for the deck, and a decent version of columns... i played that loads on the gane gear. ThanksIts ease of access for me. From power on from sleep to playing Tetris with a reloaded save state takes 7 seconds.
Likewise with many other games - If I feel like grabbing it for the sofa and chilling then its nice and fast.
Thinks like Atomic Bomberman for example, ~10 seconds to game screen to be able to play. PC I would have to load up PCem and play mess around with display size a bit (at sit at my desk)

My 256GB was full in no time. Best getting a 64GB then sticking a 2TB drive in it for £100Shooting myself in the foot for not biting on a recertified 256gig a few days ago I was dithering, and now its gone (probably for a long time).
Found a bot discord channel, and the history is pretty bad, in stock for under a minute when in stock for the new 64 gig, no bot for recertified.
Checked ebay, full of scalpers.
Checked facebook, mixture of used at high prices and what I think could be stolen stock, one guy selling 7 new steam decks unopened.
Of course EU has new 64 gig in stock.
They did pre order at launch, dont know why they wont do it now, they making the same mistake UK retailers did with PS5 etc. in just having unannounced inadequate stock appear with no reservation or filtering of orders, a scalpers paradise.
Doesnt matter, the 64gig is non existent on the store.My 256GB was full in no time. Best getting a 64GB then sticking a 2TB drive in it for £100
