I've installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here's a guide.

I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I'm playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??

Maybe someone can help me out. I have EmulationStation installed and for GBA and 3DS games, it works perfectly. Zero complaints. The issue is for some reason N64 games won't work after r a Steam Deck update. Without fail, every single time I update my Deck, N64 games refuse to open. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting.... I've been able to install an N64 game, add it to Steam, play it in Gaming mode and everything works fine. Just refuses to let me open any N64 game after an update.

-emulation station is just the frontend and doesn't do any emulating itself. Did you mean emu deck?

-that's why I always preferred retro deck, which installs as a flat pack over the discover app (basically a form of an "app store") and isn't impacted by any steam deck updates

I had a game break on me after an update. Turned out on investigation the game was using proto experimental and somethin that stopped. I reverted to latest numbered Proton release and it started working again.

Good luck
