    This is so sweet of you to say!

    Really, this is fun for me. Its going to take all my resolve to not do this again in 24 hours (because, over saturation!), it just makes me happy to find what interests me.

    I’m lucky to have found a place like this community, where it just so happens others find that same stuff (so far!) just as interesting!

    Thanks for this, made me smile!


  • Make sure you check for a ‘Xenia compatilibility list’

    This is a spreadsheet showing whether any particular games are working, and how well they work. Some don’t play at all, and some play perfectly!

    I have 5 PS3 games installed on my Steam Deck, through RetroDECK right now that play perfectly, and a couple that required tweaks!

    I do remember that Xenia (the 360 emulator!) plays Skate 3 perfectly, though!


  • Oh my Gosh the Steam Deck has been by far my fav gaming purchase. I was the same, rarely playing anything, looking for something new, but the convenience of this thing changed everything for me.

    I adore how it plays to two strengths: for those who want a simple console-like experience, it works right away! And for those who want to tinker (me) - the sky is the limit!!

    Look for my friend’s work if you decide to buy one, he makes something called Decky Loader. From there the customization is endless!






  • It’s definitely more polished and complete now! The dev also works hard, especially if a user has any little issues, they have a Discord and Git page all where help and previous issues are detailed and worked out step-by-step on a fix. There’s also a huge list on games which work via Legendary, and any tweaks users have reported to make games work are listed there on the Discord, too.

    I’d be curious how you find it, after so much time has passed between the beta and now! Do update how you go! (I’ve shared that people have written comments here about Junk-Store, with Eben the dev (hi Eben), so I know he’ll be lurking here)

    *ma’am!

    You’re so welcome! It’s a bit of awful thing, writing up something like this and wondering if it’s going to go down okay (for me anyway!), but that might be a lot of the typical Reddit user responses tainting my previous experiences doing this kinda thing!

    I’m glad the responses are positive here, you can count on this being a regular thing <3




  • Thank you so much!

    It was bought by a crypto company that pushed aggressive monetization, and fired most of the original staff.

    Constant nerfs to the original gameplay, invalidating months of users’ grind by removing (‘improving’) core mechanics.

    This is why the popularity dropped, but as to their official announcement, it was very short on details. Just another failed game, sadly.

    I’d like to!

    At some stage this was a weekly thing for me, at least on Reddit under another username.

    I focused primarily on GOG and Epic, because few users covered their news. In fact one game site offered me a job (or the beginnings of an offer) after they gained some popularity.

    Regardless, I’d love to post these in a somewhat regular manner. Hard to know what I find interesting is for others, before I try it. Looks like it might be though!

    Thank you so much <3

    Hello!!!

    Junk-Store is a wonderful piece of software! Eben (the dev) has a background in the same field of work I am in, pen-testing. He’s also a talented programmer! JS runs on the Deck, but also on Bazzite, after Kyle (Bazzite dev!) noticed his work and how well it suited things there.

    Its no secret the upcoming version won’t be Decky Loader dependent however, so make of that what you will!

    I’ll literally tell Paweł that you’re a Heroic fan! And I’ll pass on a link to this comment so he can see that I am praising his work wherever I go! <3

    (I shared the link, hi Paweł!!!)
