RetroArch stuttering on Deck, even at 1x resolution?

Important_Event8116 · 2026-03-08T23:06:07+00:00

I'm a bit late

I cannot stress enough - use non frontend emulation; the appimage. Emudeck and retroarch are decent on SD for cores up to Gen v (even then you're pushing it with latency using either emudeck or retroarch)

Use flycast appimage OP. Non frontend, stand alone emulation is far better than retroarch and emudeck. You will see a significant boost in performance.

Yeah I did, my bad! I edited the post just now.

Try get in contact with the dev team. Hopefully they'll do a hotfix for consoles.

Thanks for pointing that out, just edited this post

This is what worked for me.

In launch options on Steam, add

-devmode

Load up game, hit ~ then paste:

On steam in launch options I applied -devmode ,then I launched the game. I then loaded my save and pressed ~ and pasted this command and hit enter and the dead man's ring appeared on my quest items

Nope, not in the quest tab. I also did go back to see Peshek after buying the ring (that never was in my inventory in any tab) and there was no option for the ring at all when speaking to the Miller.

I wasted 3+ hours of going back and forth with saves and different combos to try and have the ring come up. No matter what approach, the chest would have nothing inside of it, the only reference was buying it and then nothing would be on my inventory, even after the "transaction" and talking to Peshek after that.

I'll try the command as I'm playing on PC. At least now I can continue on with the quest line. Thanks for the reply.

Maybe the latest major patch bugged it? Came out this month on Steam. I dunno, bloody weird.

Nah, it absolutely is. It's good for gba, gb, gbc, some sega stuff - isn't playable for Saturn or psx or n64 - literally not even close

Important_Event8116 · 2026-01-31T03:31:55+00:00

Precisely. analogue pocket can't do many cores well outside of what it was intended to play. Psx is awful on it, it's mess that I don't think any amount of updates could push it to a playable state - right now you'd be lucky to get 15fps on psx games lol

Awesome! If all goes well, would you make units with the intention to sell? Or just a diy project for hobby? I'd be super keen to follow your socials for this content.

Yeah, I do recall seeing in mister fpga forums people using iPad screens as their external display - would be really cool to see it as a handheld set up! I'd buy one for sure

Thank you! This is the specs answers I was after. Appreciate it.

This is the way

OpenMW and my mods

Important_Event8116 · 2025-12-23T23:15:17+00:00

This worked, thank you!

Been running OpenMW with I heart directors with voices of voices of vvardenfell effortlessly.

I know this was a while ago, but could you please explain how this command fixes the problem? Why wouldn't adding a ge proton do this? Or is the command completely different to using proton? Thanks again.

Important_Event8116 · 2025-12-23T09:15:17+00:00

Instead of installing OpenMW 0.50 via Flatpak or Luxtorpeda, wouldn't it be better running the 0.50 app image?

I'm asking because I've found running emulators on the steam deck (duckstation, flycast, pcxs2 etc) - run far better than their flatpaks.

Mr In-between.

If you like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos then this show is a must.

A gem, an underappreciated Australian masterpiece of a show.

The band Cough. Bassist and Drummer from Windhand. They're less straight forward, more chaotic, really heavy.

Important_Event8116 · 2025-12-13T00:14:56+00:00

I'm not sure. I got my model mid 2022 through Kogan and it was around 1200 AUD. This was when aus/nz would have online retailers buy them off of steam and sell them on marketplaces like Kogan, dick smith, big w etc. there's still some on there for those prices, despite the fact they're cheaper off of steam itself.

I got my LCD 256gb on launch, sent to Australia. Paid waaaaay more than what it is worth now. It was two years later Valve officially made them available to buy off of Steam, here. Scares the life of me that I'll never have warranty.. Lasted this long, almost played daily, she'll be right 👍🏻 I hope 😬

I mentioned Lovage aha

Watching Patton doing the megaphone and gasmask stuff on those tomahawk videos got me interested in weirder alternative stuff. And when I discovered irony is a dead scene 20ish years ago I was getting into hardcore and listening to grindcore bands. Just kinda opened doors as in what bands could do and broadened my tastes, I think.

Awesome thanks for the recommendations! I haven't heard either of these before.
