Hey, so I'm aware of SoH, Mario 64 and the Opengoal version of Jak and Daxter, but are there any other ports like those which can be played on Steamdeck?

If you use steam, this project https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda, converts proprietary engines to use opensource versions when available. Here: https://luxtorpeda-dev.github.io is a list of games supported by this.

Don't forget about OpenMW for Morrowind, which is also on Flathub!

Additionally (apologies for no links)

Sonic 3 has Sonic 3 A.I.R. (Angel Island Revisited)

There's Sonic 1 GameGear Remake and Sonic 2 GameGear Remake too.

Daggerfall Unity for the first open world Elder Scrolls game, OpenMW for Morrowind.

OpenXcom for the OG XCOM, OpenTFTD for it's sequel Terror From The Deep.

OpenRCT2 for Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, OpenTTD for Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

The 4chan/8chan Emulation General Wiki has a good page on this sort of stuff: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports

Not quite the same thing, but Project '06 is a ground-up fan remake of Sonic '06 in Unity engine that's actually fun to play

There's a number of games like that being reverse engineered, Majora's mask, minish cap, perfect dark, etc. But it's a pretty slow and long process. And until the game is Revere engineered and a 1:1 decompilation achieved, the ports like sm64 and soh aren't possible.

I’ve heard of a few but I honestly can’t recall I think maybe link to the past was decompiled. Maybe one of the sonic games.

I used to ai to the regames subreddit which was all about reverse engineering.

Ah that's interesting, I'll definitely have a look at what I can find about those, appreciate it. I'll also check out the subreddit
