Do y’all brehs with a SD also have gaming PCs?laptops?

Is the SD necessary if you have one?

Like besides handheld what would be the point of having a SD if you already got a gaming computer?

I can play on the couch and watch TV with my wife. Or progress in my games while on the go. Plus there are games that are just better portable. I don't play my PC as much since I got the deck. Plus it's an amazing emulator system, and can do everything up to ps3, 360, and switch

It can emulate up to PS3 gen tho? :wow:

Do all of them do that or just the ones that’s higher in storage?

I think they all do it, I have the mid range one but it works. I was playing Ninja Gaiden sigma on it the other day, however not all ps3 games run perfect. Infamous 2 runs terrible for example. I've only played Sigma, infamous 2 and Tekken tag 2 on it, Im going to try mgs4 here in a little

If the Asus Ally can run PS3 and Switch games really well, the Deck is getting thrown to the bushes

Negged for confusing me :gucci:

Now I’m wondering if I should just wait for this :mjcry:
None of these handhelds is running PS3 games "really well" because they don't have the CPU power...Case and point, you need a $700 CPU to run RDR at 40 FPS on PC and its not even stable...

The entry level Asus joint is double the price of the enter level SD...That means the performance has to be double that of a SD to be worth the price tag and you're not going to get that...That battery life is going to be horrid with the performance they're claiming...

Does it run everything from PS2 gen and back well?

I’m cool if I can’t emulate PS3, Only game from that gen I want is Saints Row 1. Other than that I should be good without it.

I mainly want NES-PS2 gen games

Thinking bout copping the middle storage one, 256 gb. Was gone cop the 64 gb one but not sure if that will be enough.

I want maybe 10-20 PS2 games. Maybe 5-10 N64 games. 20 or so SNES and Genesis games. Maybe 20 total Saturn and PS1 games. 10 GameCube/Dreamcast games. And a few fan made games like SOR remake. Maybe 10 arcade games.

I know storage varies wildly but can I fit all those on the 64 gb? How bout 256?

I actually could just delete games after I’m done then add them back later if I wanna play them again I suppose.
