I've installed Emudeck on my device, the process was really easy to follow, here's a guide.
I just made this post to share info and suggestions on the best games to try. Right now I'm playing a (totally owned) rom of Zelda breath of the wild and so far is flawless (although stuck to 30 fps x some reason). Any suggestion for other good game??

The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Emudeck was my main reason for picking up a steam deck. Figured I could get an archive of retro games, and then build up a library of indie games over time.
I have to do some troubleshooting to get PS1 and PS2 games working, but that is probably just getting bios files. Just downloaded so many games that I am working through that even when something doesn't work immediately I have more than enough options to be entertained.
I want to try God of war 1 and 2. Maybe even the 3 if the ps3 emulator can run it.
I'm unsure of the viability of this suggestion but epsxe has always netted good results for me (Ps1, android). I'd like to think installing it on Steam wouldn't be too problematic.
epsxe is extremely old by now and not updated. Your current best choice is Duckstation
"Extremely old now and not updated"
...Sounds exactly like me! Good to know, thanks!
