So I wanted to get Switch 2 for my mom on Black Friday. She loves Mario, Yoshi and especially Zelda games.
Month ago, I bought the Steam Deck OLED and put pirated games on it including switch 1, WiiU and PC games. She now mentions she wants the Steam Deck too.
Problems is, she’s kind of not so technical. She gets stressed when things go wrong and has no idea what to do and waits for me. So which of the two would you purchase knowing this?
Note; I’ll be the one doing everything for her. Putting games, emulation, updating and problem solving if things go south.
Money isn’t the issue, just don’t know which to get.
P.S: was not sure whether piracy is allowed in this community. Sorry in advance if it is not.
Emulation ≠ Piracy (pirating ROMs is another story…)
But if you’re using EmuDeck, if you install it for her, it’s pretty simple after that - all the games just show up as games in Steam Library.
You might just want to update it from time to time for her.
Oh yeah, I know hah. But considering the instance I’m on, you can, I assume already know how I obtain most of the games.
Yeah, I use EmuDeck on my own Deck but there are some hiccups when it comes to using the emulators thru Gaming Mode (bit of laggy, sometimes the games won’t start). Usually start the games through Desktop Mode. Did not manage to get the game to show up on the Steam Library, for some reason I just could not get that to work and due not enough time (work…) got a bit lazy and thought ‘never mind’ lol.
