The ROGAlly is faster than the SteamDeck, right? Yes, but I'm still happy I have Valve's handheld around.
It sucks being an early adopter. After using Asus’ new ROG Ally for a few hours — you can read my Asus ROG Ally review for my full thoughts — I was ready to feel massive regret over buying my Steam Deck. It’s a tired story; but it remains true that being an early adopter rarely pays off.
It goes through the process of configuring them for optimal performance, sets up a massive folder hierarchy where you can put your games and BIOS files, automatically sets up hotkeys, and even allows you to backup your saves with cloud storage services. That pick-up-and-play experience is something the ROG Ally struggles with overall, but the blow is lessened when playing modern games by the Armoury Crate utility. That’s not the case for emulated games. You can add your emulators to Armoury Crate, but not your games.
Emulators aren’t perfect, and if you frequently play games this way, you already know how often you have to shut the game down and reboot it to change a configuration or reset the game. That’s not to mention swapping between games. If you’re emulating MAME games, for example, the time it takes to swap between titles on the Steam Deck is significantly less than on the ROG Ally.
