Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? - eviltoast

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’ve been over a grand multitude of solutions, including this one. None of them worked, I’m afraid.

      Hm there must be some other problem on your end then. Doing a clean reinstall of Yuzu EA 4176 and then using the newest keys, firmware and update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should pretty certainly fix it.

      It runs great for me on Steamdeck, with the Yuzu EA 4176 AppImage, firmware/keys version 18.0.0, MK8 Deluxe NSP + Update 3.0.1 + DLC.

        I mean, it runs flawlessly for me as well with all the DLCs… Just not splitscreen multiplayer.

        I’ve been down the rabbit hole of looking for a solution around the controller connection applet freeze, and with some people one solution works, with some others another… Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently… Considering the variability surrounding this issue I don’t think an actual solution has been found yet.
