I’m not sure about Vita, but there is a decent 3DS emulator (Citra). I haven’t tested MGS3 on it

Thanks, I got it working! Well all except the ragdoll mod because that requires you to have all the DLC :(

I’ll give those two a go! Looking into it, I think I’d need the following mods to get these to work, which isn’t too bad:

• B42 Weapon inertia
• Ragdolls
• JIP LN NVSE
• JohnnyGuitar NVSE
• NC Compatibility skeleton
• The Mod Configuration Menu (optional)

One thing I’m not sure about… I installed MO2 on my Deck using this guide which also installs NVSE. But how do I know what version of NVSE it installed? A few mods mention they need a particular version of NVSE.

Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I’ll see if I can find some easy to install ones

I’ve started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I’ve added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

If you like puzzles and open world games, have you tried The Witness? There are a lot of puzzles to complete so it should take you a while!

Not currently on sale on Steam, but it does drop it price regularly. Depending how you feel about key reselling sites, you might be able to get it cheaper.

The Vita version is flawless, I guess because it’s a native port rather than emulation. Emulation of certain PS2 games can be tricky due to the weird CPU architecture

From my testing a few months back, there was significant slow down in the cutscenes. Actual gameplay was fine. I have no idea why. I know that SteamOS 3.5 has a fix for a kernel issue that caused issues with SMT, so perhaps things are better now. Once 3.5 reaches stable I’ll test the games out again.

Unfortunately emulation isn’t all that great for these games on Deck. The PS2 versions are laggy. PS3 actually works a lot better than expected, although one of the final scenes in MGS3 has some slowdown. If this version can be fixed, it may be the best option for the deck. I’m definitely not paying the price they’re charging though.

That’s clever! For something where you need a keyboard constantly that seems like a good solution. (Although for a game like that I’d have thought an actual keyboard would be kinda the point lol)

Thank you! I’ll see if I can get it running at some point in the near future :)

Ah thanks - are you aware of any essential bug/stability fixes I should go for in particular?

The different mod loaders really confuse me. Do Vortex and MO2 offer pretty much the same thing? Will it show on Steam that I’m playing Skyrim/New Vegas etc. and log my hours ok (rather than saying I’m playing the mod loader)?

Follow up question: What mods should I get for Fallout NV if I were to try this out? (I’ve never actually finished that game)

The game looks ok, but you’re just kinda spamming at this point? 🤷‍♂️ This is just an advert, not really a discussion.

The Steam controller seems great. I’d love Steam to bring out a V2, with all the buttons and trackpads of the Deck minus the screen. That would be perfect for playing whilst outputting on a TV.

And yeah, I can’t believe it’s free! I love dungeon crawl style games and this is just perfect.

Sure, if you know a way to do it!

ctrl+1 and ctrl+2. Buuuut it doesn’t work when a game is running :(

I’ve considered learning python to try and write a plugin that could help with this… but I don’t imagine I’ll be ready with that any time soon as I basically have no programming knowledge.

Yes I use the wiiu downloader. Nice and easy

How do you disable steam input?

I’ve seen about 20 of these spam posts now. Is there a way to block the domain from being posted?
