It's just so wild to see $15, 000 SEGA model 2/3 arcade games of the 90s running in the palm of your hand in 2024.

Just a heads up to anyone wanting to play Daytona USA, emulate the PSN version through RPCS3. That one is made with gamepad controls in mind and actually plays properly. The original model 2 version's controls don't translate well to a gamepad, you need a steering wheel for that one. That's how I always did it on PC, arcade version for steering wheel and PS3 port for gamepad.

OMG, if you can sync saves between Onion OS and EmuDeck. That right there, is a KILLER FEATURE. :D I love my Miyoo Mini. It's great to bring on any small trip or commute. I have EmuDeck installed on both the Steam Deck and my PC, and being able to continue playing and pick up the progress from any of those devices would be absolutely incredible!

[MJosephJr]

Wow about OnionSync, the Miyoo Mini is my companion to EmuDeck, I can’t believe they are working together to do this!!

[DJJuxtapose]

Man, I find myself gaming on my desktop PC less and less these days - the Steam Deck just kills it with the possibilities and convenience.
Thanks for the vid as always, Russ!

Just bought my Steam Deck on wednesday, what great timing! Can't wait to try this, thanks Russ.

If Russ ever sells t-shirts, one of them needs to be a checked box that says "YEAH, MAN, I WANT TO DO IT"

Damn, I had no idea Model 2/3 emulation was even in the works for Steam Deck! The ability to play Scud Race and Sega Rally Championship 2 in a handheld is insane.

[KarimJovian]

I have the firmware and keys but the bios check for Nintendo Switch still shows up red. Can anyone help me on how to get it green like RGC

[mattb]

Awesome video as usual, Russ! This was perfect timing! I was actually running through EmuDeck this week on my Steam Deck. Though, I had no idea Sega Model 2 and 3 were now available to play! Growing up in the '90s, I played many of these arcade games so being able to play them comfortably at home now is just incredible! I know nothing about the Jaguar, but might check it out as well.

Sega was one of the "Kings of the Arcade" so will thoroughly enjoy revisiting many of these classics and trying new ones! I'm glad we are correcting history so that these games aren't lost to time! I honestly wish Sega had ported more of its arcade games to home consoles, but glad we can now enjoy them again!

Seeing that Star Wars game emulated at the end is a dream come true! I remember playing that at my local movie theater, and having the same experience of only being able to play it a handful of times because of the price. So cool that I can finally play it again! What an amazing time to be alive for retro gaming!

[ChesterMan-qdxj]

This is timely! Setting up my new to me Steam Deck today, thanks!

[irfanhazza]

I've JUST been wishing for an updated guide from you specifically yesterday, esp regarding the steps to re-add/update Yuzu/Citra. Thank you!

[shrey]

this is great for the steam deck. only gets better with time (unless switch emulators)

[arvindhmani]

Man I'm so excited you mentioned and showed Last Bronx! Where I grew up, consoles were super expensive and arcades were nearly non-existent but Last Bronx actually had a PC version which I played a lot of (albeit only the demo with Yusaku and Lisa). I still remember the stuff they would say when they won! Eventually my dad put a stop to us playing it because we were essentially jamming dozens of keys on one keyboard and creating loads of noise lol.

[Hidan]

Just got my OLED two days ago and getting into emulation so this timing is wonderful

[faithandreason]

Russ, it is awesome to see these games running on the steam deck! I remember going to the arcade to play Star Wars Trilogy and it being $1.25 per play. But man it was awesome game! Awesome to see this again. May need to grab it also for my deck!!

[spyhardman]

It’s possible to configure the steering on those Model 3 games to not be so twitchy. If you search for Warped Polygon and Supermodel, you can find some premade configurations that help a ton.

I've been playing w/ model 2 and 3 on the steam deck for a while now and now that its part of ES thats awesome. Couple things with those 2. In ES the default start + select doesn't exit games as those are not default hotkeys for 2/3. I had to google the exit commands for both emulators and then manually add it to the default retroarch exit menu if that makes sense. Also, w/ those emulators I found it alot more fun to turn on gyro for aiming and use one of the back buttons to toggle that on/off. Much easier to aim than w/ trackpad.

I'm glad they finally added a progress bar!
