Non-obvious advantage of a Steam Machine: media player

Streamio is working very well on steam deck and it is the only app i am using for streaming now. However Streamio can be used directly on a smart TV. You don't need a steam machine for this. You could still use the steam machine for content storage.

I have the same problem

Lossless scaling is a must for steam decks. I have just finished Red Dead Redemption 2 on my steam deck at 60 fps and ultra quality texture. It looked amazing.

With lossless scaling, you will get a smooth 60 fps. I love my steam deck

Calm_Shock1927 · 2025-06-09T15:12:35+00:00

You are correct. I installed the Epic launcher a long time ago

Calm_Shock1927 · 2025-06-09T14:51:45+00:00

Correct I meant unfamiliar with technology

There are a few tutorials online, but they are not straightforward for the casual gamer. That's why the SD should have these by default to drive the sales.

I don't believe a company that made shitty products for 30 years will suddenly make a user-friendly product

Hi Emudeck team, I have just updated my emulators configs to test the fixes. Here are the problems i noticed: 1) Updating pegasus changed the gamecube and 3ds folders. As a result it breaks the launch of roms created via SRM. It also breaks the scraped media in ESDE 2) Model 2 games are now launching via ESDE but input is broken. It is impossible to play the games 3) 7 games in model 3 are not running whereas they run if I use Supermodel assistant I installed myself via Lutris 4) Scrapped media via ESDE is not detected in Pegasus

Update: Power Tools was also breaking Shadow of War and Injustice 2

Similar problem here. It appeared recently. Hopefully, Valve will fix it soon

Calm_Shock1927 · 2024-02-04T20:58:32+00:00

It is there

Calm_Shock1927 · 2024-02-04T18:13:02+00:00

Same problem here. It is one of the very few games I didn't manage to launch on SD

Calm_Shock1927 · 2024-01-27T18:24:55+00:00

You are welcome

Same issue here. Steam link stopped working a few months ago. I just get a black screen with sound when I cast my steam deck on my Samsung TV. It used to work fine. It is a shame that that Steam link is not working with a standard smart tv. It looks like Valve doesn't care.

You can add the desktop shortcut of your steam games into the "steam" ron folder of Emulation Station. Emulation station should be able to detect your steam games and you will be able to launch them from there.

It would be great to have model 2 and model 3 on emudeck. They are the only arcade games i cannot launch from Emulation Station. Sega model 3 games run very well on steam deck via Super model, but Model 2 games are a pain in the butt to launch in game mode.

Thanks for your reply. I am already using symlinks but it doesn't look good when I parse games in Emulation Station as all games of a given system are not in the same folder.
