Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games?

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…

GameCube and older!

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).
