The Deck has enough power to be a pocket PS2-VR console. PenguinScreen2 is a Linux-only VR fork of PCSX2, modified at the render pipeline level, with per-game profiles: a big virtual theater screen for everything, plus stereoscopic 3D and head-tracked cameras for tuned games, applied where it makes sense per title (ESPN NFL 2K5, Ace Combat 5, TimeSplitters at launch).

The important part: this is built for WIRED play on Deck. I tested wireless streaming straight off the Deck extensively and I won't pretend: the Deck's own radio is not up to it. Get the Deck's radio out of the path and it transforms - docked with Ethernet, it works: tested, sessions hold, with the headset talking to your router instead of the Deck's antenna. A direct USB-C link to the headset ships in the kit as well. (Wireless straight from the Deck remains available - treat it as a tech demo.)

Setup, briefly: Desktop Mode, one flatpak, and a guided launcher that does the annoying parts - starts the VR link, prints the connection address and pairing PIN, walks you through one-time pairing. After that: dock or cable, run launcher, put on headset, play.

Built on PCSX2 for emulation and OpenXR/WiVRn for the VR link - full credit to those projects; this fork's contribution is the VR integration and per-game tuning.

Expectations: release candidate, tested on a fresh out-of-the-box Deck. You bring your own BIOS and games. Three games have deep VR profiles today; everything else plays on the virtual screen. And yes - original discs: attach a drive and it reads your PS2 discs directly - tested working on my custom-built Steam Machine with an Omni drive. Report what breaks.

The bigger picture: built from day one targeting the Steam Frame - Deck-wired is the reliability floor for that. Our calculations from measured performance against the Frame's published specs show it running there fine even with FEX in the path; only the lack of a Frame in hand keeps that from being definitive. Numerous designed-and-waiting features unblock the same day. If you're a Deck owner eyeing a Frame, this is being built for exactly that path. And there's something else on the Frame front we're not talking about yet. It's called PadXR. That's all.

On the roadmap: a sim configuration tool (already underway - pre-launch device binding and diagnostics for wheels, sticks, and the Steel Battalion class of hardware), clean-room open-source servers for Madden 2004 & NCAA 2004 (roster downloads already working), and funding real human translators for Japan-only games, shipped as texture-level packs.

Hi Everyone!

Firstly, let's talk some gaming.

I have been playing some old gems which are really worth revisiting Left 4 Dead 2 being one of them, runs great and plays so well and it's so fun! I will say the sensitivity for me with the steam controller was all over the place, but some fine tuning fixed that issue.

One thing I never highlight enough I feel is the ability to stream Gamepass, it very issue to set up and with a decent connection you're getting to play games at 60fps, great visuals and a lot of games that I find I wouldn't maybe buy yet.

Tears of Metal being one, a roguelike Medieval co-op hack and Slash, where you command a Scottish Battalion. Now The Scot's had some EPIC battles, so it's great to see that brought to a game. Still in early access, so an hour into it, you do feel like it needs something else but time will tell! Great to check out though on steam or Gamepass.

Hell is us, another game I've been wanting to play so much, again on steam or gamepass for people unsure, firstly on the deck it runs at from what I've been able to get a locked 30fps on low graphics, now I have played this on PC and it's a beautiful, atmospheric experience that does deserve to be seen in the best way but playing it is a joy and worth anyway possible. A war torn Eastern European country, it harkens back to scenes from such wars of the 90s with such a heavy horrific vibe then drops all this strange mythology on top with silent hill style enemies. It is a souls like BUT I hate souls likes and this allows you to change settings to your choice and really take away some of those heavy souls elements. Well worth a play!

On to the boring parts: Me!

I appreciated deeply people reaching out, it means more than you know. I like to say for the last month, after March to end of June where I was completely broken, a change of mind has overcome since then and I no longer what to see myself as falling apart, as just settling to the shadows, I am waking up and choosing violence! (In the best way) I am constantly trying to push myself, physically, mentally, emotionally.

Just in this last week, I've met people who already mean the world, that motivate me to be better, to want better, that strive for a better future. I wouldn't have met them in if it wasn't for every single one of you always pushing me, to come out of my shell.

I owe each and every one of you so very much, a day, a week, a month, a year. So much can change, so much can happen in short periods of time, and the version I am today compared to my first post you all read, is so vastly different.

So, once again I can only thank you for being there for me, for giving me the space, time and effort you all offered that has now led me to feeling happy, to feeling hopeful, even when there's still daily pain, even when I wake up

Some days feeling unable to move, but I do, I push, I force, I live. For each and every one of you.

I think I'm a different version of myself because a little bit of each and everyone of you is now apart of me, and you all over the last year have shared nothing but the best of yourselves, and it's given me time to become the best version of me.

Thank you.

M

I don't see many posts about how good the trackpad is for playing old point-and-click games, but I've found myself playing more of these games because it's so comfortable.

I'm currently playing The Dig, and I've also finished Full Throttle, The Longest Journey, Little Misfortune, and Fran Bow. I'm looking for more games like these!

I have the new Assassin Creed remake for Black Flag on my PlayStation 5 but I want something portable, I'm trying to decide between the remake and the original on Steam for my Steam deck. I've seen criticism of the remake about how it plays as well as Oblivion remastered, but I didn't have issues with Oblivion remastered on my Steam deck.

Is there a version that is suggested for the steam deck?

Keeps an acceptable frame rate and image quality in so many more games now. Yeah I know it's better on my desktop which I do have still allot but there's just something about being able to chill in bed and play kcd2 with acceptable everything before I pass out for the night.

About 80% of my time at work I don’t have anything to do, I’ve been playing Stardew valley but after perfection I’m looking for a new game i can pause when needed. What do you guys recommend?

Previously enjoyed games - Stardew valley, Elden ring, Elden ring, rdr 2, balatro

Preferred genres - I’m open to most as long as the gameplay loop is fun

Budget - none

Other notes - needs to be a game I can pause at an instant that won’t affect the gameplay

Hey all, wondering which games you like to play that run at the native 90 fps of the OLED screen? Many of the games I play I guess are too graphically demanding. It's tough to hit 90.

Some games don't allow you to play at fps above 60 as well. So which are your favorite 90 fps games?
