And yet, Baldur's Gate 3 is topping charts without any DRM protection. How dare they launch a game in 2023 without DRM. Also, the game have too much content. They should had left some out to sell during the season pass.

And BTW, if you are intimidated by those old school shooters, Bitwave included nice assistance in the emulator, like slow-motion and rewind, all accessible in the top buttons and triggers of the joypad. This makes the game more enjoyable to old farts like me, that do not have cat-like reflexes anymore.

I bought Truxton and I was impressed. While not perfect, it was a solid port/emulation. Their CRT filter is excellent. They even fixed a couple bugs after release faster than many big names out there. I liked it better than Capcom or Sega releases of old classics. No buggy 3D launchers, just strait to the point, go play this thing.

I will look if one of these fits on my taste and buy it. I imagine by now their emulator must be very mature.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished they show this on the Store page, so when I tempted to buy a game that does not have a native Linux port (I may or may not had broken a promise...), I don't need to refund it later because it doesn't work on Proton.
They've listed this on the store page for a long time. It's down the right hand side.
For some reason Valve decided not to show that information to users in countries where the Deck isn't officially sold. Is M@GOid in one of those countries?
I'm from Brazil, and yes, no Steam Deck here, nor can I see the thing on the corner of the page of the store.

This is one of the games that made me give up on AAA to dedicate more to indies. Simple, fun, lots of laugh, especially if played with friends.

Reminds you that gaming is more than wandering on a open world and do quests to reach the end of a game, AKA every AAA game out there.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished the fixed Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY. To this day I still cannot play it.
What's wrong? I replayed entire Batman Arkham series on Steam Deck, I don't remember any of them not working at all.
After the starter screen (with the settings) it crashes, shows a window with some error and closes. The next game, Arkham City works fine, but I had never managed to get Asylum to run, no matter which version of Proton I'm using. This have been like this since the appearance of Proton.
Can you be more specific? I don't remember if I had to do anything, but maybe I did... I have played Arkham Asylum long time ago, and last time I played it was on Steam Deck and that was also year ago.
Have you read and checked solutions here? https://www.protondb.com/app/35140 [External Link]

There seems to be one advice repeating even on Deck protontricks d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43
I wasn't using protontricks, so I finally cave and installed it. The command Xpander gave (protontricks 35140 d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43) did the trick, the game finally started. But there was a small catch: since I had my set of flight sticks plugged, the game considered them as a gamepad, so other gamepads didn't work, only the Steam Controller. I unplugged them and finally I could enjoy the thing on a real gamepad.
