You’re so welcome! It’s a bit of awful thing, writing up something like this and wondering if it’s going to go down okay (for me anyway!), but that might be a lot of the typical Reddit user responses tainting my previous experiences doing this kinda thing!
I’m glad the responses are positive here, you can count on this being a regular thing <3
I had no idea until now that Junk-Store existed, probably because I’m part of the PC master race. It sounds like it’s entirely for the Deck.
That is really cool that you know the Heroic devs. Tell them that it really needs a last-added sorter so we can see what was most recently added to our collective libraries.
Junk-Store is a wonderful piece of software! Eben (the dev) has a background in the same field of work I am in, pen-testing. He’s also a talented programmer! JS runs on the Deck, but also on Bazzite, after Kyle (Bazzite dev!) noticed his work and how well it suited things there.
Its no secret the upcoming version won’t be Decky Loader dependent however, so make of that what you will!
I’ll literally tell Paweł that you’re a Heroic fan! And I’ll pass on a link to this comment so he can see that I am praising his work wherever I go! <3
How’s PCSX2 performance on the Deck? I somehow get much better performance on my Ryzen 5 4500U laptop than I do on my Ally and that makes absolutely no fucking sense.
Performance is tied to framerate, or at least was a loooong time ago. I notice a lot of users on EmuDeck write about this. Like…a lot! Not your issue, but I read a lot who think the game is playing in super slo-mo, but this is all tied to the framerate. Keep it at 60 Hz or above, and all is fine.
PCSX2 has a huge range of tweaks you can make, but there’s also HD texture ‘packs’ you can download and apply, which re-do all the textures (yeah, I know you guessed that). Some of these can be huge like Silent Hill 2’s coming in at 29GB, and some can be teeny-tiny like MGS2’s which only re-textures the HUD and menu (because PCSX2 can upscale the native game’s resolution well enough on its own!)
Long reply, for me to say it performs perfectly for me!
It’s not perfect. Most games emulate absolutely fine, with only minor slowdown. One game I can point to which absolutely does not work fast enough to play is The Getaway which gets about 6 fps.
I haven’t used PCSX in a while, but I remember those settings being obscure af if you’re not like an expert on VRAM and shit. I would just try everything until I found the best settings for the game lol. Thankfully you can save settings per-game I believe.
I despise adverts and see them as an attack on my eyes, especially irl.
That said it’s odd that I find the ones in Times Square or Piccadilly Circus (London) quite fascinating when near them. Kind of don’t mind them as they’re concentrated in those areas and well known for them. Just an interesting thought I had.
If you had to listen to a random rock song on high volume at random times in your videos, and having 100 of different songs screaming at you when you go about your day. You would find that annoying and disorderd.
On the other hand if you went to a rock concert or festival you would be fine with it and even expect that to happen.
I view this similar. Time Square and Piccalilli Circus are just festival grounds for adds.
There are two amazing super hero games that I would recommend: Spider-Man 2 and Hulk: Ultimate destruction.
Spider-Man 2 was easily one of my favorite games of all time. This game essentially set the bar for what a Spider-Man game should be.
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was an open world game where you were the Hulk and did all the Hulk things. I can’t think of a recent game where you play as the green giant.
