Thank you for these posts, a friend shared a link and I’ve spent this Sunday morning browsing over the past few weeks of information. I really like the writing style, it’s enjoyable to read.

I’ve just ordered a SteamDeck myself and have more free games on Epic and GOG than my steam library (2 titles!). So it will take me a while to get up to speed onto how to get access to those libraries and get started in emulation.

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!

Keep an eye out, I try make them weekly, though in the past it’s gone as few as two days between posts (generally though, I try make myself wait and hold off to give it a week between them!) - so there’ll be more coming :)

I’m so glad you’re getting a Steam Deck, you’ll love it! They’re easy if you want to just…start installing games without tinkering, or you can dive in and find all kinds of fun things.

As to GOG and Epic (and even Amazon) look into:

Heroic Games Laucher

Junk Store

…there are others, but these two I swear by.

As to emulation, the default idea most have is EmuDeck, but I by far recommend

RetroDECK for emulating!

…but if you ever have any specific questions, or want help or a guide to anything, reach out to me. I kinda live/breath the Steam Deck - so I’m always happy to help!!!

  Yeah, I like the idea that RetroDeck is a single concise package that may not have the latest emulators but they are stable.
  
  I’m also ordering an SD card because I just want to keep the ROMs separate from the main deck games.
