That of course includes Dolphin.įirst, you install Decky, which is a plugin loader for the Steam Deck.

And it's indeed a good way of getting good performance out of games running on the Steam Deck. If you've been looking for ways to get a decent gain in performance from your favorite games on the Steam Deck, you may have heard one or two folks suggest installing PowerTools via Decky. But I finally found a way to get the game running at a stable 60fps with 2x resolution scale, which in turn should mean that most other GameCube and Wii games should run with no issues. Something I also did for the past few days was making sure the performance was as good as possible on the Steam Deck, mainly with the game F-Zero GX, which can be fairly demanding on the Deck. So getting Dolphin Emu installed and adding my GC library to the Steam library as if they were actual Steam games is something I had to do. One of the things I've been looking forward to do with the Steam Deck is to emulate GameCube and Wii games on the go. It's pretty much a PC in the form of a handheld that can play anything from retro games to even new AAA-releases with good performance and high graphical settings! What's not to like? I've had my Steam Deck for more than a week, and to say the least, I'm in love with it.
