I thought it might be useful for people if we have a thread where we can add in games that aren't yet verified on the deck to say if they work or not. Not Working Pam (Post Apocalyptic Mayhem - Loads to the intro screen then crashes. Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics - lets you load the games etc but when you try to play you just get a black screen with the audio playing in the background. 18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker - Upon trying to load it crashes so badly that the steam deck goes to a screen where it says verifying installation. Working But..... 7 days to die - It works but its awkward to control and good luck if you find a wandering horde early game. Uplink - it works but its unplayable as the text is way to small to read. Pinball FX3 - works but full screen mode isn't full screen which makes it a little awkward playing but it could be down to my settings or something. XCOM Enemy Within/Unknown - Works however you'll have to change the controller config slightly so that the trackpads function as a mouse. Fully Working Worms Ultimate Mayhem Rogue Trooper Judge Dredd Poker Night 2 Ghost Master Aliens Vs Predator Civilization IV : Beyond The Sword Burnout Paradise : The Ultimate Box Clutch Khet Adrift Karting Lego Star Wars:The Complete Saga Gloom Justice Sucks those are the only ones I've tried or been told work so far. I plan to add more as I try them. if you've tried games throw them into a post and I'll add them to the main list.
Thanks for this Saves me time (well a few seconds anyway) trying Uplink as it was one game I was curious about. Doesn't surprise me about the text being too small although I wonder if it would work docked?
XCOM Enemy Within/Unknown also works perfectly. You have to change the controller config slightly so that the trackpads function as a mouse - you need a mouse to switch the game to controller input.
So i have installed a handful on mine, these are the ones that ive had success so far with (there's probably more but its charging atm ) PC: Need for speed collection -Underground -Underground 2 -Undercover -Hot pursuit All run super nice, good graphics, battery and solid 60 fps if you want it, some not easy to work, require some hackery with folders, using third party apps like bottles, rotation issues when opening etc, but all are achievable to be fully playable Assassins creed collection: Assassins creed 2 Assassins creed brotherhood Assassins creed revelations =All run super well, had to do some janky stuff to get them to work through Ubisoft connect Heavy rain = Runs ok, 40 fps is the best option, some slow downs, but manageable with lower settings Life is strange true colors = Runs really well, solid 40 or 60 frames easy depending on settings, looks amazing Mafia 2 = Just perfect, 60 fps , great battery Mafia 3 = Wouldnt work, tried so many fixes, nothing worked, couldnt even get to the menu Spiderman remastered = Worked good, lower setting needed, still looks amazing, didnt have any controller issues (seems to be a common thing with it) Halo master chief collection = Runs great (i dont play online) Hades = Runs amazing, no tweaking or anyting needed, install and go. Emulation Ps2: Simpsons hit and run = Runs great at 40 fps, occasional audio glitch Fight night round 3 = Runs nearly perfect, only 1 graphical issue on 1 map, tad slow in the menus. GBA: they all just work Pokemon fire red Pokemon Blue Pokemon Yellow Switch: Mario Kart 8 delux = Pretty much perfect at 60 fps PSX: (All run no issues so far) Die hard trilogy Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3 Cool boarders 3 Street Fighter Tony Hawkes pro skater 2 PS3: Fully playable at 40 fps Marvel vs capcom
