Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I've heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that's been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

I can't speak on multiplayer experiences, but i have several emulators set up on my OLED deck. GameCube, N64, switch, ps2. They work well, and i have a 3DO pro2 i use while it's docked to my 4k tv, sound through a surround sound bar with woofer - amazing sound. I mostly run skyrim and Balder's Gate 3 at the moment, but i enjoyed BotW and my son likes sonic.

Still happy to hear your experience, is the deck running at 4k?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's configured to run at the native resolution of the device, and looks good, but I'm not sure it is really at 4k.

Skyrim performs flawlessly, but Baldur's Gate gets sbout 15 fps at this rez, so I have to lower the graphics setting. I'm nesr endgame, so there is a lot of city animation.
