Even better is the fact that EmuDeck also supports PrimeHack and configures most of the controls for us. And fortunately for us, PrimeHack is available natively on Linux. You should be able to launch PrimeHack and the ISO directly from Steam in Game Mode.įor those of you who aren’t aware, PrimeHack is a fork of the Dolphin emulator that enables keyboard and mouse controls for the Prime games, as well as an adjustable FoV slider and a wide assortment of other enhancements. Exit Steam in Desktop Mode, and add artwork with Steam ROM Manager. Then copy your Trilogy ISO to /home/deck/Emulation/roms/primehacks/. Not flawless by any means but you’d be surprised at how well the controls work.Īll you have to do to get up and running is to run the EmuDeck script on your Steam Deck.
If you’ve been on the fence about getting a Steam Deck yourself, this might be enough to convince you.I wanted to briefly talk about the trilogy of Metroid Prime games running on the Deck. It’s great to see that the Steam Deck is now another option to access that amazing experience. PrimeHack has been one of the best ways, if not the best way entirely, to experience the Prime Trilogy. The touchpad in particular opens the door for precise FPS controls, but if that doesn’t suit you, FabianDR says you can utilize gyro controls instead. This is their “favorite way to replay the Trilogy with perfect controls,” reporting 60fps at 3x resolution and high-res texture packs, and higher field-of-view and touchpad aiming thanks to PrimeHack. On Reddit’s r/Metroid, user FabianDR is one of those fans, showing off Prime Trilogy played via PrimeHack on their Steam Deck. It’s no surprise then that fans have turned to Valve’s new Steam Deck console, which is essentially a handheld PC, to give Trilogy a try. This has allowed fans to experience the Prime Trilogy in a whole new way – with higher resolution, enhanced textures, higher field-of-view, mouse-and-keyboard controls, and much more. The Trilogy has long been a popular choice for emulation on PC for years, thanks to software emulator Dolphin and one of its specialized builds, PrimeHack. While another year passes without the Metroid Prime Trilogy available on the Nintendo Switch, this hasn’t stopped dedicated fans from getting the modern handheld console experience for the beloved game collection.
