Let me know what you think of the Steam Deck! Do you have one, and if you do, what do you think of it? Also, huge thank you to Yahaha Studio for making this video possible! Download Yahaha Studio for free at mtchm.de/6fws8
Got mine last month, and I absolutely love it. Now that I’ve finally gotten Generations working properly on it, I have every Sonic game I want working on it going well. Best purchase I’ve made in years!
Something i really appreciate about this is how you never make a backhanded remark about some of the games. Like it would of been so easy to say "If you're a masochist, this is how you can play Sonic 06 on the deck" but no. You tackled this as respectfully as possible and i love that about this vid.
Imagine forgetting to showcase Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Pfffft....! Great video though! As well as showing off a great showcase for gaming versatility, I love how the Steam Deck is basically going to be a "gateway drug" into the world of Linux. Such a fantastic product!
@@MrDavibu he talked about sonic and the dark knight and sonic and the secret rings, he mentioned sonic forces and sonic lost world which work out of the box from your Steam library. you should watch the video before saying things like this
Imagine going so far as to emulate Sonic Eraser, a game that didn't even RELEASE, but not The Dark Brotherhood, unacceptable, I will now be sending in my cease and desist
For Sonic Frontiers, it's worth noting that Valve had a Steam Deck booth at Tokyo Game Show and had Sonic Frontiers advertised as "coming soon" to Steam Deck with a big poster at their booth, so it's likely SEGA is working with Valve to get the game Deck Verified for day one. Sonic Forces also runs incredibly well on the Steam Deck (at max settings at 60 FPS), and since both games use Hedgehog Engine 2, I'd say that bodes well for Sonic Frontiers. Frontiers will be the more intensive game but I'm sure 60 FPS Medium settings would probably work fine for it, at the bare minimum. Also if you have an Xbox Series X or Series S, it's possible to remote to it using your Steam Deck. I did this to play Sonic Unleashed in particular at 60 FPS on my Steam Deck. I unfortunately could not figure out how to remote to my Xbox from outside of my home and don't know if that's possible, but it worked great within my home and it's a really nice way to play Sonic Unleashed at 60 FPS, certainly better than seeing the 720p resolution being blown up to a modern TV screen. The controls were extremely responsive too and I don't even have a great internet connection compared to most. This of course could be used to play any other Sonic games you have on your Xbox, and can even be used to play Sonic Speed Simulator since Roblox has an Xbox One version (I personally found Speed Simulator had really choppy performance running natively on the Steam Deck so I much preferred just remoting to the Xbox).
Thanks so much for bringing the Direct3d11 Sonic Generations mod to my attention. I played Sonic Generations on my Steam Deck when I first got it and levels like Chemical Plant went down to 15fps at times but now it’s near flawless with the mod. It also means I can play the unleashed project without cooking my Deck.
For combining the cue/bin files you also use the built in Emudeck Compression tool as that scans and does it automatically for all systems that support it.
@@sinwoksita Isn't it currently considered unusable on SteamOS, or has it been further optimized these last few months? I know it technically works when installing Windows 10/11, but just wondering really.
3:49 The mod in question was just recently completed. It improves performance even further, with the game running very close to 60. It also makes Adabat in the Unleashed Project a much more enjoyable experience.
Honestly wow you went through a lot of trouble with such an ambitious concept. You deserve a medal with the level of patience. I'm glad someone gave Sonic love in a way that some of us forgotten in years.
That clip you posted on Twitter using the Steam Deck’s trackpad for Segasonic The Hedgehog was just…wow! This device is capable of literally everything….XD wish I could afford one
Well, Sonic Free Riders is now able to be emulated with the new controller patch version. We're now one step closer to all Sonic games playable on the Deck.
Correction: Sonic Eraser was released but was exclusive to a Japanese Sega Network for the Mega Drive which had exclusive games on the service. Sonic Eraser was one of them and in 2005 had the rom file online and here we are.
Also SegaSonic Bros was also released but saw a very limited release cuz the game failed it’s location test and in turn not available in more Japanese locations and some dude managed to get the board and dump the rom
you may have just convinced me to get my hands on a steam deck, seriously it looks so damn awesome and i will finally be able to play games like sonic generations and adventure 2 portably, which i already know is gonna be a damn good time! thx for making the video, i appreciate it when you upload! :D
@@samuelgregr8451 i actually do that already, but it would just be a whole lot nicer to not only play it on a switch-like console but also be able to play generations and colors too
For some reason I love when this guys uploads. His videos are interesting af and I learn things I didn’t even knew about sonic the hedgehog franchise. Love your content man!
A big *thank you* for showing that the Deck could properly run Sonic The Fighters! This was the one that personally mattered to me most, and I can't wait to finally get into the game competitively, as well as have the extra content not obtainable in the Gems Collection version.
NEW DISCLAIMER: for Sonic Generations, use the new Direct3D 11 mod for even better performance and stability, it runs at almost a perfect 60 on the Steam Deck so you know it's an improvement
I got my steamdeck recently and as I've also been getting very into sonic recently I've actually been planning on doing the same running a bunch of sonic games on the deck, it's just really comfy having them on handheld, this has been a really useful vid thanks!. I'm currently playing through generations to 100% but I was gonna try Adventure with the dreamcast mods sometime soon too. Also hadn't heard of Emudeck till now, will def check it out.
@@JWKing17 It's about £569 in the Uk for the best ver, it was def a steep price buuut I hadn't bought a console since the switch and have no interest in the PS5/Xbox so seemed like a good investment!
THANKS for the idea of using the trackpad for trackball games...Marble Madness here I come! Also all you need is a sonic themed skin on your deck for perfection :)
Just a heads up too - Sonic Heroes had a PC port playable on Steamdeck but the game isn’t available to purchase on Steam. (Here’s hoping we get Sonic Heroes Ultimate one day on Steam!). Sonic Megacollection Plus also had a PC port but like you said redundancy appears as most of the games are in the genesis collection and others.
Also don’t forget Sonic Adventure DX has about ten Sega GG games once you collect emblems and complete levels etc. If you search around the internet you’ll see the game save files and put them in the game save folder. These end with file extension .snc.
It's worth noting that for sonic colors, the stutters are likely due to shader caching. Games not installed through steam won't have pre-compiled shaders, so they have to be built up during game play. Always results in stutters, but usually those stutters get better and stop eventually once enough of the shader cache is built
There's a specific build of xenia made for Sonic 06 and you can find it online, and if you get the mod manager which actually fixes some emulator issues you could probably play 06 on your Steam Deck.

I haven't played too much of Project '06, but yes, Silver's campaign is indeed playable on Steam Deck. I'm also really glad you mentioned the Heroic Games Launcher as well. That was how I was able to get the Epic Games variants of the Kingdom Hearts games on the I.5 + II.5 Collection up and running. A word of warning, however: you have to do a bit more lef work to get the games running. On Desktop Mode, you have to set the right .exe path to whatever game in the collection you wish to play. Otherwise, you'll just go to the game selection menu, pick your game and get booted back to the Epic Games Launcher. The opening and closing FMV's won't play either because those are connected to the Theater path. Nevertheless, these are small prices to pay to play these games portably.

1. Im planning on getting the steam deck ever since its available in my country, i use my phone with a controller, with games and emulators to keep myself busy while saving up for the deck and i see myself getting it next year or two, as a huge sonic fan, i cant thank you enough for this information on whats playable or not :•)> And 2. 06 and unleashed *_are_* playable on steam deck at a decent framerate, you're just using the wrong emulator, your supposed to use the Xbox 360 emulator (Xenia) not the PS3 Emulator (RPCS3) It has better preformance by far 3. Can you Make A Version with Fan Games? I know you did a few as a surprise, but I i want a whole video on it with 30+ fan games
That’s because the game was first on the 360 and ported to the PS3, as well as the fact the 360 was based on 86x architecture compared to the ps3’s cell architectures. It makes 360 emulations easier than the ps3
FOR ANYONE DOING 3DS EMULATION: It runs at 60 fps by going into your citra settings and going to graphics, then changing the graphics to native. If your emudeck settings have them at the max, the resolution will be much higher than it should be, making it laggy.
I’ve come from the future. It runs… fine. It works, but you have to tweak a couple things, and you get flickering at 60 FPS, so you’re stuck with 30 or 40 for now. Hopefully it gets patched a bit later to fix these things.
for those interested in playing sonic boom on the steam deck/ cemu in general : cemu has "graphics packs" which are basically cheat codes for some games and sonic boom comes with a 60fps code right out of the box so you dont need to browse the internet
I think hypothetically you should be able to play the official shadow the hedgehog flash game. when flash lost support in browsers, an entirely offline version was created by some people, and a shit ton of flash games were archived, including shadow the hedgehog
If I had to guess, you lose all online access due to homebrew just being a no-go for console companies. Unless either Retroarch is officially on Series X or having a modded system doesn't affect Online play, out of which I both highly doubt. This is more of an example for how officially versatile the Deck is (Valve literally supports customizability) than it is an actual arguement cause some people just couldn't give less of a fuck for lack of Online. Same goes for stuff like no Netflix on Switch and so on.
@@angell6209 Good, that's one more thing I can note, then. The console scene has been all over the goddamn place for me ever since the 8th gen started. Way back (in Hungary) I got used to -90% of PS2s being modchipped -Sony bashing you out the ass for modding the at the time "unmoddable" PS3 -90% of Xbox 360s modchipped (but disabling online play) -no online on a modded PS4 system (plus the fact it was the first Sony console with paid online, marking the day I left the console scene) -The Xbox One refusing to run used copies Honestly, it was a rollercoaster clusterfuck if you ask me personally. So excuse me if I got so many things wrong in my original comment, I really have no idea what's going on, I even recently got informed that Nintendo's netcode is so absolute shite that if you're careful enough, you can go Online with a softmodded V1 model, and even with the rest using a modchip. The console scene is such a fuckfest that at this point I'm thankful I moved permanently to PC as my main platform.
@@EthanMallonee This is really interesting! I never would have thought you could officially get help from a Console company allowing you to do "modifications" (technically) to your system, or doing things you otherwise would be screwed for. Closest thing that reminds me of this is Apple's dev mode that costs $100 to develop apps for iOS lol
Thank Chaomix for making this video today, because I always wondered in my head if any Sonic games from a different set of consoles can be played on a Steam Deck. Because if I ever get one soon, then I’d not only played any Sonic games on the handheld but be able to played any other old Sonic classics on the go. 😎👍
Definitely planning on getting one! I have a few financial things to work through before I'm ready for one, but a Steam Deck is something I'm for sure excited about.
Linux support has changed drastically since I put my first disc with a generic MSI installler on it, and wine breaking back in 2015. I've been watching the scene for so long now. I'm happy with it.
What about Sonic Chronicles??? In your DS section you showed it in your steam library but when showing gameplay and naming the game titles you didn’t mention or showcase chronicles!!! What gives?
SegaSonic with somewhat accurate controls is huge ! Thank you for this video, it was really informative and I can’t wait to have my steam deck and rock some sonic games on it !
Such unfortunate timing, only a few weeks back MattKC helped with a decompilation of Sonic Runners and you could've highlighted that, but I'm sure you didn't know. News doesn't travel as fast as we think I'd nitpick some stuff, but eh. Perfectly solid showcase, and the fact it's your first experience with Linux isn't only a testament to the Deck's potential, but how far everyone has taken Linux since the mid 00s
I've had my Steam Deck for 1,5 months and have been using it as a Linux tablet as much as I'm gaming on it. Both the hardware and software are extremely well thought out and to me it's very comfortable to use. I'm typing this entire comment with it's duel trackpad typing and have learned to use FlickStick on it. Software wise the Game Mode optimalisations are very impressive and Desktop Mode unsurprisingly is very usable, this being standard KDE Plasma with some added software to make it work with the weird inputs. It runs my current favourite games, namely Okami and Vintage Story, nearly perfectly and has over 5 hours of battery life in these titles and Desktop Mode. The combination of the interesting input hardware, specialised Linux OS, great performance and repairable hardware makes it my favourite device with a processor. There's nothing like it, it's both like the Linux tablet I've been trying to make for years and the gaming console I wanted in one reasonably priced package.
I can't believe that you forgot the most important Sonic game ever, Rad Mobile! Also, I am not planning on getting the steam deck, but I think you maybe changed my mind.
12:07 have you heard of CodeBreaker? Grants 60fps/widescreen, which is rendered in widescreen then squashed to 720x480, which most consoles did to get widescreen before the PS3/360.
Thanks for the settings for SegaSonic Arcade. 🙂 I managed to get the PC versions of Sonic Riders and Sonic Heroes to run on the Steam Deck. Though the only real reason to use the PC versions over Gamecube emulation is to save on battery power. Either way works fine though.
That and also Dolphin on the Steam Deck has some horrible frame pacing issues. Gamescope will report a locked framerate, but frame times will still be wacky, even though it doesn't display it. Really has been a major disappointment for me personally.
I think if I wanted to play sonic games on the Steam Deck, I think I'd be content with what I could get working. I don't have a steam deck, but it does seem like a good device that I could have fun with. I plan on getting one.
19:35 That's true, Xenia does not have Kinect support, yet. However with todays technology, the sensors in the Kinect are not required to obtain good enough data about your pose. One could reimplement the Kinect functions using Google's MediaPipe. On modern hardware the recognition should work with at least 20FPS making it good enough for most games (Kinect isn't much faster, IIRC).
I attempted SegaSonic Arcade with the Steam Controller way back when that came out but never quite got it going, amazing to see there's a setup guide for it on the Deck

If it's the last thing I do I'm gonna get that blue baboonoo
[Verse 2]
Get ready my secret project! I'm about to make history!
It might even work! You bet your a
MY gizmo works! Maybe
I push this button!
I said I push this button!
Damn it! This stupid button!
[Chorus]
Oh-boy! I've got to make some hedgehog stew today! Huh?
It's my greatest invention ever!
Get that hedgehog, do as I say!
Oh boy, gonna make some hedgehog stew in the afternoon!
If it's the last thing I do I'm gonna get that blue cartoon!
[Verse 3]
It may take me years to catch that horrible hedgehog!
If I wasn't so happy, I'd retire my plan today!
There's only one cure for a Robotnik. Yeah?
Obliterating that hedgehog! What was I saying anyway?
Tails, shut up
That's better. As I was saying...
[Bridge]
Oh boy! Gonna make some hedgehog stew
If it's the last thing I do!
It's only a matter of time before my hedgehog stew
Now nothing can stop me from conquering Mobius and lots of other stuff too
Cringe
Eyy love that you got the steam deck, got mine too a month ago. Very excited to watch this video!
Can it run sonic schoolhouse!
Edit: IT DOES LOOL
😂
Lol
1. Im planning on getting the steam deck ever since its available in my country, i use my phone with a controller, with games and emulators to keep myself busy while saving up for the deck and i see myself getting it next year or two, as a huge sonic fan, i cant thank you enough for this information on whats playable or not :•)>
And 2. 06 and unleashed *_are_* playable on steam deck at a decent framerate, you're just using the wrong emulator, your supposed to use the Xbox 360 emulator (Xenia) not the PS3 Emulator (RPCS3)
It has better preformance by far
3. Can you Make A Version with Fan Games?
I know you did a few as a surprise, but I i want a whole video on it with 30+ fan games
Chaomix should make a sequel to the Dragon Ball Parallels vid, it feels he's discovering new ones every day lol
I’m so glad you got Sonic School House to work! It was the first game I thought about when you said as many Sonic games on the steam deck.
Another way to play sonic 06 on the steam deck is to Xenia. The graphics don't glitch (from what I've heard) and it runs pretty well.
That’s because the game was first on the 360 and ported to the PS3, as well as the fact the 360 was based on 86x architecture compared to the ps3’s cell architectures. It makes 360 emulations easier than the ps3
FINALLY! Somebody is making a video about this.
Thank you!
I think this video alone is enough of a reason for everyone to get a Steam Deck
FOR ANYONE DOING 3DS EMULATION: It runs at 60 fps by going into your citra settings and going to graphics, then changing the graphics to native. If your emudeck settings have them at the max, the resolution will be much higher than it should be, making it laggy.
Chaomix is styling so hard in this one 🎩 9/10
8:23 Sonic Eraser DID release, although only in Japan with a Genesis addon
Man I really hope it runs Frontiers good!
I’ve come from the future.
It runs… fine. It works, but you have to tweak a couple things, and you get flickering at 60 FPS, so you’re stuck with 30 or 40 for now. Hopefully it gets patched a bit later to fix these things.
for those interested in playing sonic boom on the steam deck/ cemu in general : cemu has "graphics packs" which are basically cheat codes for some games and sonic boom comes with a 60fps code right out of the box so you dont need to browse the internet
0:51 bro thinks he's warner brothers discovery
I think hypothetically you should be able to play the official shadow the hedgehog flash game. when flash lost support in browsers, an entirely offline version was created by some people, and a shit ton of flash games were archived, including shadow the hedgehog
Actually runners can work same as a few other android ones, with a little thing called waydroid. Its a little non- user friendly at the moment though.
I got a Deck recently, been playing a lot of Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Riders, it's a lot of fun
Hey chaomix! You can actually emulate android with the emulator bluestacks, tried it once and it worked well!
Bluestacks is not compatible with linux.
@@powerpc64 he installed windows on his steam deck
Been planning on getting a steam deck this June and since I'll have a bigger library of sonic games to enjoy this video has helped alot
For the sonic 06 emulation,06 is definitely more stable with Xenia so I’d try that emulator too if possible
Doesn't work without Windows
@@wAABBsif Xenia devs are making a linux port
I was waiting for a video like this for months! Great work! : )
The Xbox Series X is also great when you consider that Unleashed runs perfectly on there and you can emulate most of these games on retro arch as well
If I had to guess, you lose all online access due to homebrew just being a no-go for console companies. Unless either Retroarch is officially on Series X or having a modded system doesn't affect Online play, out of which I both highly doubt.
This is more of an example for how officially versatile the Deck is (Valve literally supports customizability) than it is an actual arguement cause some people just couldn't give less of a fuck for lack of Online. Same goes for stuff like no Netflix on Switch and so on.
@@mark030a having a modded system doesn’t affect online play.
@@mark030a it isnt homebrew but it isnt official either
@@angell6209 Good, that's one more thing I can note, then.
The console scene has been all over the goddamn place for me ever since the 8th gen started.
Way back (in Hungary) I got used to
-90% of PS2s being modchipped
-Sony bashing you out the ass for modding the at the time "unmoddable" PS3
-90% of Xbox 360s modchipped (but disabling online play)
-no online on a modded PS4 system (plus the fact it was the first Sony console with paid online, marking the day I left the console scene)
-The Xbox One refusing to run used copies
Honestly, it was a rollercoaster clusterfuck if you ask me personally. So excuse me if I got so many things wrong in my original comment, I really have no idea what's going on, I even recently got informed that Nintendo's netcode is so absolute shite that if you're careful enough, you can go Online with a softmodded V1 model, and even with the rest using a modchip.
The console scene is such a fuckfest that at this point I'm thankful I moved permanently to PC as my main platform.
@@EthanMallonee This is really interesting! I never would have thought you could officially get help from a Console company allowing you to do "modifications" (technically) to your system, or doing things you otherwise would be screwed for.
Closest thing that reminds me of this is Apple's dev mode that costs $100 to develop apps for iOS lol
EXCELLENT VIDEO MATE. Got me excited to play my steam deck!
Thank Chaomix for making this video today, because I always wondered in my head if any Sonic games from a different set of consoles can be played on a Steam Deck. Because if I ever get one soon, then I’d not only played any Sonic games on the handheld but be able to played any other old Sonic classics on the go. 😎👍
Definitely planning on getting one! I have a few financial things to work through before I'm ready for one, but a Steam Deck is something I'm for sure excited about.
Update: I got one and am loving it!
Linux support has changed drastically since I put my first disc with a generic MSI installler on it, and wine breaking back in 2015. I've been watching the scene for so long now. I'm happy with it.
Wario twisted with gyro on steam deck show that that's a video
This is literally the video I wanted 😤😤😤 I want a steam deck literally just to play sonic games while I’m traveling
What about Sonic Chronicles??? In your DS section you showed it in your steam library but when showing gameplay and naming the game titles you didn’t mention or showcase chronicles!!! What gives?
Where the hell is mania
3:41
Oh. Thanks.
SegaSonic with somewhat accurate controls is huge ! Thank you for this video, it was really informative and I can’t wait to have my steam deck and rock some sonic games on it !
5:29 fortnite
Such unfortunate timing, only a few weeks back MattKC helped with a decompilation of Sonic Runners
and you could've highlighted that, but I'm sure you didn't know. News doesn't travel as fast as we think
I'd nitpick some stuff, but eh. Perfectly solid showcase, and the fact it's your first experience with Linux
isn't only a testament to the Deck's potential, but how far everyone has taken Linux since the mid 00s
Been considering a steam deck, thanks for the informative video Chaomix!!!
I've had my Steam Deck for 1,5 months and have been using it as a Linux tablet as much as I'm gaming on it.
Both the hardware and software are extremely well thought out and to me it's very comfortable to use.
I'm typing this entire comment with it's duel trackpad typing and have learned to use FlickStick on it.
Software wise the Game Mode optimalisations are very impressive and Desktop Mode unsurprisingly is very usable, this being standard KDE Plasma with some added software to make it work with the weird inputs.
It runs my current favourite games, namely Okami and Vintage Story, nearly perfectly and has over 5 hours of battery life in these titles and Desktop Mode.
The combination of the interesting input hardware, specialised Linux OS, great performance and repairable hardware makes it my favourite device with a processor.
There's nothing like it, it's both like the Linux tablet I've been trying to make for years and the gaming console I wanted in one reasonably priced package.
dude this might be my favorite video from you yet
I can't believe that you forgot the most important Sonic game ever, Rad Mobile!
Also, I am not planning on getting the steam deck, but I think you maybe changed my mind.
I'm surprised you have 70k still this is quality content!
Sonic Eraser. That's all I came for, and I am now satiated
12:07 have you heard of CodeBreaker? Grants 60fps/widescreen, which is rendered in widescreen then squashed to 720x480, which most consoles did to get widescreen before the PS3/360.
Thanks for the settings for SegaSonic Arcade. 🙂
I managed to get the PC versions of Sonic Riders and Sonic Heroes to run on the Steam Deck. Though the only real reason to use the PC versions over Gamecube emulation is to save on battery power. Either way works fine though.
That and also Dolphin on the Steam Deck has some horrible frame pacing issues. Gamescope will report a locked framerate, but frame times will still be wacky, even though it doesn't display it. Really has been a major disappointment for me personally.
I think if I wanted to play sonic games on the Steam Deck, I think I'd be content with what I could get working.
I don't have a steam deck, but it does seem like a good device that I could have fun with. I plan on getting one.
BRO WHAT WAS THAT VEGETA SSJ 4 SONIC THUMBNAIL?? I'm dead, how utterly hilarious. I laughed so hard it started to hurt
I own an ROG Ally and this video is not only makes me more powerful, but amazing!
I was curious about segasonic and the Steam Deck trackpads since the deck was announced. Great vid
This is an interesting thing to use to find and play sonic games. I like it. :)
I was debating buying a steam deck for this very reason. Very helpful
This video shows why I don’t enjoy to play in PC… so much tweaks needed to play some games BUT being able to play so much games is amazing.
19:35 That's true, Xenia does not have Kinect support, yet.
However with todays technology, the sensors in the Kinect are not required to obtain good enough data about your pose.
One could reimplement the Kinect functions using Google's MediaPipe.
On modern hardware the recognition should work with at least 20FPS making it good enough for most games (Kinect isn't much faster, IIRC).
I attempted SegaSonic Arcade with the Steam Controller way back when that came out but never quite got it going, amazing to see there's a setup guide for it on the Deck
You say Sonic Colors ran poorly but all your footage was a solid 60fps?
