I bought The Steam Deck OLED. 🫠

Make the most of it by installing decky loader. Cheers!

I've been gaming on the deck since it launched.

NACE13:
I game on Xbox one.
But I played the GoW2 on my relation's 360.

Nice one, brother.

NACE13:
Can't seem to get the disc any where. Well, next time I visit Alaba market, I'll try to install it. For now, my library is still fresh.

Oh, okay. What xbox do you play on?

N3cR0mAZc3R:
I actually just prefer handhelds bro. I can’t sit and play games on TV for more than 10 minutes before I get tired of it but with handheld I can sit comfortably in bed and game all day long.

I hear this from everyone I know with a handheld. Looks like its convenience over graphics.

NACE13:
Gears of War 2
Finally got to play this after years of intense search online.

Gears series are amazing!

Play Gears 5.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Yeah I have the decky frame gen installed too but like you said it’s inferior to lossless scaling. Lossless scaling is like double the frame for me when playing latest AAA games.

Nice one, bro!

It's also surprising that you own a TV console and still choose to invest in handhelds.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Yes I did and I used it a lot than windows too. I am currently using windows for Spider-Man 2 though due to lossless scaling app.

It’s the best of both worlds.

Oh, that's great! I actually miss lossless scaling, but there's framegen(dlss to fsr3 mod) on Steam OS now via decky. Tried it on a couple of games and it works.

Tho lossless scaling is unmatched. I wish they could find a way to bring it to Steam OS.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Nice. You finally put bassists on your Go too. Good stuff.

Yes! It's really good. Haven't booted windows in months. Now, it feels like a Steam Deck on steroids.

Did you install it as well?

Gone days

N3cR0mAZc3R:
It's Z1extreme paired with RDNA 3. I have a steam deck too and yeah it suxxx with ps3 and xbox 360 emulation.

N64 up to ps2/wii u and switch works well. Ps3 is also just a beast of a console to emulate, even for powerful PCs like rtx 4090.

PS3's architecture was just terrible. Was a major issue for devs porting games to PS3.

Right now, PS4 emulation is gaining momentum and would surpass PS3 with time thanks to the X86 architecture in PS4, which is same used in PCs.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Bro I enjoyed it so much especially since dual booting windows 11 and bazzite on it. I sold my ps5 in a heartbeats and I didn't miss it.

Great! Bazzite OS is really nice; turns your Ally into a Deck. I feel you. I don't think I'll be getting a TV console in a while.

Also just upgraded my Go to 2tb in preparation for Black Ops 6.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
How many fps do you get bro and at what settings. In origins I can get up to 56fps @1600x900p with a mix of high and medium settings on the rog ally.

For Valhalla, it's around 50- 58fps on 1600x1000p with a mix of medium, high too and then I use fsr to upscale to like 1200p or 1600p. On native 1200p, I get 42 - 46 fps.

Haven't tried Origns, but I guess it shoud perform the same since they're both Z1 Extreme. How you enjoying the Rog?

AC Valhalla.

KseniKru:
What do you think?

What Pokémon game is this? I've literally played all the GBA versions.

nathdim:
I got steam deck oled how do I load games on it

From Steam if you already have a library or load cracked games. Check YouTube on how to do that.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
God of war 2 on the deck. The nostalgia ehn. I remembered when me and my friends go dey use money go play am for my secondary school that time.

I see you've installed all the decky mods for the extra stuff. Looks good. I wish windows could design a gaming OS just like Steam OS. Or Steam OS could get rid of it's anticheat problem.

My deck is mostly used to play Stardew Valley or Switch games right now.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Bro it works only on windows right?

I have dual booted both windows and steam os on my ally and I couldn't be more happier but I'll never sell my baby (Deck).

How can I get the lossless thing from steam?

Seen it talked about on rog ally sub-reddit b4 but I just didn't pay any mind to it cause am satisfied with my ally performance already.

I was almost dual booting Windows and steam OS on the Go, but I changed my mind when I got the lossless scaling app cus it doesn't work on Steam OS for now.

So the app works by generating extra frames for your games through AI, making it smoother. It's like AMD Fluid Motion Frames, which was recently added to the Ally's AMD app, but this is better as it works on any game, even emulators.

Search it on steam. It's a paid app, but it's worth it.

Check out this video on how to set it up.

For the deck, I can never sell mine as well, lol. I so much love the device and I'm using it for emulation and indie games. It has better battery life and better ergonomics than the Go. And the sleep/resume feature is amazing.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Hey my bro.

Buh why would u wanna pirate games? Especially given that you can get pc games for very cheap or even have someone share them with you.

But nonetheless, the Rog ally or lenovo legion go will be your best bet because they're windows unlike steam deck which runs on linux and it's easier to pirate pc games on windows, same with modding.

But left to me I'll say get the rog ally because the VRR (Variable refresh rate) alone is why chosed it over the legion go and o'boy is it so worth it. I can run games like gta v and red dead 2 at a smooth 50-60fps.

Get the lossless scaling app from steam for your Ally. It's been a game changer for me. It doubles your framerate. I'm playing cyberpunk on 1080p 70-80 fps on the Legion Go.

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Wow Bruh. You can never get bored with those consoles.


I Finally put bazzite on mine anyways. Been way smoother than windows and i can even put games like red dead redemption 2 or gta v to sleep mode and I can decided to continue playing them a week after.

Hey i am also an handheld freak too lol.

Started from psp to os vita to switches and then steam deck ro asus rog ally. I never liked home consoles.

That looks pretty good on your Ally.

As soon as my game pass subscription ends, I'll try Bazzite OS. There's something about Steam OS that I miss on window. Menh that resume feature is next level. Being able to resume games after hrs or days is what I miss while on windows.

Yeah, me too. I sold my PS4 when I got the Steam Deck. I always like to play from my bed. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Allly. Cheers!

N3cR0mAZc3R:
Just got my Asus rog ally and i must admit that it plays my games way better than my steam deck due to vrr (Variable refresh rates).

Looking forward to installing bazzite os (Steam os fork) on it.

Nice! Looking to install Bazzite OS on my Legion Go as well. I'm a handheld freak and these are my devices.
