Let me know what you think of the Steam Deck! Do you have one, and if you do, what do you think of it?

[ALtheBoi]

Funny to think about how the Deck's trackpad makes this the most authentic SegaSonic experience you can have

[ultrapwnd]

I would have absolutely lost my mind as a kid at the concept of being able to play every sonic game ever on a handheld.

[GameApologist]

You got SegaSonic working better on the Steamdeck better than what it did at Galloping Ghost when we went. Bravo!

[chaoscomets]

I've never realized how much potential the steam deck has thank you for this

[SilverSpireZ]

Got mine last month, and I absolutely love it. Now that I’ve finally gotten Generations working properly on it, I have every Sonic game I want working on it going well. Best purchase I’ve made in years!

[Petrisha]

Imagine forgetting to showcase Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Pfffft....!

Great video though! As well as showing off a great showcase for gaming versatility, I love how the Steam Deck is basically going to be a "gateway drug" into the world of Linux. Such a fantastic product!

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.

15:40 There is a custom build for RPCS3 that was specifically made to work with Sonic 06. Don't know if it'd work on the Deck, but it exists.

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).

For combining the cue/bin files you also use the built in Emudeck Compression tool as that scans and does it automatically for all systems that support it.

[KMog-pyco]

Well, Sonic Free Riders is now able to be emulated with the new controller patch version. We're now one step closer to all Sonic games playable on the Deck.

[WorksOfMagic]

3:49 The mod in question was just recently completed. It improves performance even further, with the game running very close to 60. It also makes Adabat in the Unleashed Project a much more enjoyable experience.

[josephn]

Thanks so much for bringing the Direct3d11 Sonic Generations mod to my attention. I played Sonic Generations on my Steam Deck when I first got it and levels like Chemical Plant went down to 15fps at times but now it’s near flawless with the mod. It also means I can play the unleashed project without cooking my Deck.

0:51 bro thinks he's warner brothers discovery

[riley]

It's so cool how the steam deck is essentially the ultimate emulation device: touch screen track ball controls etc

[pilotwings]

when the steam deck has better specs than your pc

[SleepyCustardPuff]

you may have just convinced me to get my hands on a steam deck, seriously it looks so damn awesome and i will finally be able to play games like sonic generations and adventure 2 portably, which i already know is gonna be a damn good time! thx for making the video, i appreciate it when you upload! :D

[xboxclown]

Honestly wow you went through a lot of trouble with such an ambitious concept. You deserve a medal with the level of patience. I'm glad someone gave Sonic love in a way that some of us forgotten in years.

[AmyRoseReal]

For some reason I love when this guys uploads. His videos are interesting af and I learn things I didn’t even knew about sonic the hedgehog franchise. Love your content man!
