I’ve been thinking about buying one of these for a while but finally bit the bullet now that companies have started raising prices due to the RAM/chip shortage…

And it turned out to be the best purchase I’ve made in a while! It’s a ton of fun gaming on this little thing. I flashed a custom operating system on it and am now playing Castlevania & Secrets of Mana with RetroAchievements support (which adds achievements and progress tracking to retro games).

I’m also playing a lot of random PICO-8 games since it runs on the device and I can easily browse and play free games on it. Low-key wish I had bought it sooner with how neat it is.

Anybody else have a retro handheld here?

I got the original STEAM Deck, and it has been a godsend for emulation.

It handles Switch titles with upscaling, and even PS3 games. It struggles with Skate 3 on PS3 though, which is the main one I'd like to play.
