> The 3DS, especially the New 3DSXL is the best handheld to play NES/SNES/GB/C/A games, pixel perfect!

For me at least, I think the Steam Deck has it beat these days, although I'll admit I miss the smaller form factor sometimes.

If you're into the kind of emulation where the 3DS is a contender, the Steam Deck is miles behind so many other options.

There's a cottage industry of retro emulation machines that all have much better battery life, more faithful control schemes, etc.

The Steam Deck shines because of all the other things it can do, but those mostly come at a cost to how great of a retro emulation handheld it is.

Love my New 2DS XL with cfw, but the best form factor for me for those you mentioned is the Miyoo Mini.

I have it in my pocket all the time and put has save states, fast forward and low power standby with instant power on.

I can play it in short busts whenever I have a few minutes spare instead of using my phone.

I recently beat Pokémon Emerald for the first time thanks to this and I'm further through dk county than I've ever been

Any starting point for steam dock. A run emulation now. Just treat those rom as well roy and start to hack from that I supposed.

Btw that is 6 years ago or starting 7. No need of any update?

Guessing you meant to ask "any starting point for steamdeck running emulation now" or something like that.

If so, I'd recommend EmuDeck [1]. It took me about 10 minutes to set up and has emulators for essentially every platform you could want. (Just need to have roms.) Also, it's open source [2].
