At this point, anyone with the tech knowledge to have purchased a steam deck can install and run emudeck in like 15 minutes. You just go over to desktop, download and install the single package, put roms in the correct folders, then run the program and everything is already sorted into collections with you can find in the game mode library.

anyone with the tech knowledge

That rules out most of the people.

I install it for my friends and no, "most people" cannot do this because booting into desktop mode and using dolphin sounds easy but its not for folks who just want it to work easy like a switch. Desktop mode is for power users and most console/pc owners are not power users.

Lol, wut? "Steamdeck desktop mode is for power users" starting 2024 with a strong dumbest tech take, I'm going to have to look hard for this to get beat.

Ok but hypothetically, where would someone go for switch roms?

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Arrrr, but of course only from the switch games that you have legally purchased and dumped for archival reasons, you scallywag.
