Has anyone done this? How well does it work? Do you recommend it?

    Disclaimer: I do not own a Steam Deck.

    From my loose understanding, it should be doable.

    But it might really help if you state the platform you want to emulate.

    PSP? DOS?

    Nobody knows…

        I don’t have a steam deck, but my understanding is that would work pretty well. Might be overkill though, I emulate GameCube games with few problems on an android phone from a few years ago with a cheap Bluetooth controller

        You’re golden then, I do Wii and earlier on mine, 360 games run but I haven’t really played much with them. I quite like the deck for emulation and it runs old titles well (and recent stuff too, I really liked Nine Sols, it’s not a demanding game though, apparently cyberpunk plays well on the deck, not tried that though)

        I bought an LCD model when they were really cheap, still a good model and solid device, but I got my partner an oled one as a gift, I highly recommend that one if it’s in your budget, it looks better, has HDR and a better battery life.

        It emulates the switch pretty well, at least in some games (I have not tried more than half a dozen).
