Steam Deck Performance?
Had anyone tried running this on their steam decks yet?

This apparently does the trick, I'll test it now

I tested it on nobara linux on my main rig and it work fine, you mind have to alt tab is you change resolutions

I tested on Steam Deck and initially it ran fine, at 90FPS.
The render seemed vertically stretched when I set resolution to the Deck's native 1280x800, and after changing it to 1280x720, it crashes every time I tried to load a save. Now, even after changing it back, it keeps crashing on save load, but works fine when starting a game from scratch... I'll do some more testing and tweaking

yup, I also have issues with crashes. I don't think it is related to the resolution necessarily. the first time I booted it, I had it set to 1280x800 in the settings and it crashed during the intro cutscene. I then set it to Proton Experimental and managed to get in-game, only for it to crash after changing the resolution to 720p in-game.

now Im trying different proton versions.

edit: Proton 7.0-6 seems to work so far, both 800p and 720p work so far. only some minor stutters here and there

Yep, can confirm Proton 7.0-6 works fine.

For the stretched resolution, this fix works: https://steamcommunity.com/app/29900/discussions/0/34094415866577362/?ctp=4

If you don't want to go through those hoops in desktop mode, you can just play in 4:3 (800x600) and use FSR to get a crisp image.

Just coming here to thank everyone for giving very useful tips.

The Steam Deck is the perfect machine for playing PS360/Wii games, or even 128 bits era games, It has the perfect amount of power and the screen is ideally sized to play these games and enjoy their UIs. it's unfortunate these games often require messing around to get them working without crashing or such. I remember I had to fight a lot against the machine itself to prevent Red Faction Armageddon from crashing every checkpoint.

I don't know how many games I could not have enjoyed on this system without people giving tips on the Steam forums.

Believe dxvk pushed a fix for the games crashing issues and proton Experimental bleeding edge has it right now, give it a few weeks and it should hit regular proton Experimental. I tried it on my oled and the cutscene after the helicopter finally played out without crashing.
