    I have emulators from Atari 2600 to N64 installed currently, and they all run well. Haven’t tried any GameCube+ emulators yet, but I don’t think it would have a problem. I’ve seen videos of people running TotK with a better frame rate than on Switch, but I don’t if that was “out-of-the-box” or if they had to tweak things.

    Either way, it’s a damn capable device for the sub $300 it’s on sale for right now. (Base model, of course) I’ve been thinking of upgrading to the high end OLED model.

        I waited a year after release before I got mine, and I should have gotten it day one. It pretty much goes everywhere with me, and I already had a Library of games thanks to years of Humble Bundle purchases.

        Games go on sale dirt cheap constantly as well. If I never bought another game, I probably have a solid 10 years of things to play, but I have a bad habit of buying bundles because there’s 1 or 2 games I want and I end up with a dozen for “free.”

      It requires a bit of tweaking to get TOTK to not be locked to 30fps. I’m not sure if a Deck could get a solid 60 in it; it still takes a bit of a beast to do that. But running it at the normal 30fps is easier and somehow it still looks smoother than other games at 30fps.

      GameCube and PS2 games work incredibly well on the Steam Deck. Some PS3 and Xbox 360 as well. I’ve played through several PS2 games and all of TLoZ Windwaker on my deck.
