I use RetroDECK, which in turn uses the left-hand trackpad on the SteamDeck as a ‘radial dial’. I touch it, then select ‘quick’ then select ‘save’ - and it then makes an instant save state. So I don’t have to use any menu or loading point. I just start a game, then use the touchpad to ‘load’ that state and it is instant!

Save anywhere, any time. And load the same way. :)

In fact, they are such an interesting person all around. I loved chatting to both devs!

They also worked in the same field as I before they transitioned to the CEA!

It absolutely is!

I have a screenshot in the article of me doing just that. In fact it handles it so well that you can upscale the resolution a ton, and you can add HD texture packs. So it plays unbelievably well. Check my linked post up the top in this post and you’ll find some details I go into for getting it to work with HD texture packs!

It should be back up now! A bit of a traffic issue, all fixed :)
