I tried using the Metroid Prime Remastered mod on the Deck. Performance isn’t exactly perfect though some areas of the game render slower than 60 FPS. Expect at least four hours of battery life. Note that this only works with the GameCube versions of Prime 1 and 2 Prime 3 support is experimental and the Trilogy ISO didn’t work when I tried patching it.īattery consumption is similar to Melee 7, 8, sometimes 9 watts. All the items get randomly shuffled, forcing you to explore the game in different ways. Want to change up the experience? Try RandoVania. One other thing: chances are you’ve played all three games dozens of times already. Controls will for the most part be identical to the Trilogy, but I’ve discovered with the original Metroid Prime that the gyro was way too sensitive, so I lowered that in the Steam Input settings. If you don’t have the Trilogy ISO, you can still make use of PrimeHack’s controls with the original Prime 1 and 2 for the GameCube. Needless to say, all these controls work really well on the Deck. You can further enable the back buttons so you don’t have to move your thumb away from the trackpad when you’re jumping or shooting a missle. If you want you can enable more fine-tuned aiming by going to Steam Input settings and enabling the Deck’s gyro with the touch of the right thumbstick or trackpad. The right thumbstick/trackpad act as the cursor movement. The right trigger acts as the shoot button. Kind of amazing to think about how the Wii’s controls were “converted” to fit well with the Deck. Only problem here is PrimeHack doesn’t support 16:10, so you’re going to get black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Even better is the fact that EmuDeck also supports PrimeHack and configures most of the controls for us. And fortunately for us, PrimeHack is available natively on Linux. You should be able to launch PrimeHack and the ISO directly from Steam in Game Mode.įor those of you who aren’t aware, PrimeHack is a fork of the Dolphin emulator that enables keyboard and mouse controls for the Prime games, as well as an adjustable FoV slider and a wide assortment of other enhancements. Exit Steam in Desktop Mode, and add artwork with Steam ROM Manager. Then copy your Trilogy ISO to /home/deck/Emulation/roms/primehacks/. Not flawless by any means but you’d be surprised at how well the controls work.Īll you have to do to get up and running is to run the EmuDeck script on your Steam Deck. I wanted to briefly talk about the trilogy of Metroid Prime games running on the Deck.
