That’s… new. I’ve been injecting GBA roms the whole time, which takes some more time to setup than just copying files.

But I only learned yesterday that L+R+Select resets the current 3DS game instead of having to relaunch it, and last year that Select+Start launches DS games in native resolution.

This damn thing, man. Keeps on giving.

A third of my vote for 3DS is just because of DS games, really. Almost cheating, but my favourites are the 3DS ones anyway.

3DS, no contest. Even factoring in PCs, Steam Deck is a bit behind.

I’m past the phase of daily playing it, but still don’t usually leave home without it, and I feel I’m only halfway through games I might be interested in after almost a decade. I just found Professor Layton this year.

“30fps at 720p”

In games such as?

Base price seems fair for a PS5 form factor PC, if you want that (I do). But I was hoping to grab the 2TB model… that’s making me reconsider.

Apparently 2TB hard drives are already pricey anyway, but maybe I’ll try to be careful and uninstall games more, like with the Deck? 512GB is already mostly full with emulation and games I want available on hand though…

The PREVIOUS generation of consoles already lasts a damn long time. Unless it’s a really shiny looking AAA, it’s probably on PS4, we got Yakuza 3 Kiwami recently.

And I think there’s some current gen games that look like they could’ve ran on PS4 if they were optimized or scaled down - especially since the Switch 2 and Steam Deck can run them! Expedition 33 was the first game my Steam Deck was just barely “running”.

I don’t think the next gen can offer much besides just boosting fps or resolution, and I’m satisfied with 1080p 60fps, maybe even 30.

Heard someone drop Rick & Morty for that (not for the drop in quality). I assume you wouldn’t want to discuss it with creeps, but the problematic media are popular enough that it should be easy to find sensible subgroups online.

If you’re insecure about public or (shitty) friends’ opinion, you might also not want the association. Which I’d say is a coward thought, but I hide playing some games too.

Well I know that, but isn’t that good in the context of waste (OP’s problem)? Since PS6 hasn’t been released yet, it’s seems the PS5-like specs here will last a decade and be future proof enough. PS4 is almost 13 years old and still has games coming out. The Switch 2 is PS4 level and it seems to be successful for now, and Steam Deck was aiming for that benchmark too.

(You can tell I’m a tech idiot by how I measure power in Playstations)

I’m not a hardware guy, how is this different from the Steam Deck? Is the hardware here used of crappy quality by comparison? I thought most people liked the Deck (and everyone in here, I thought this is general Linux for a second), I sure do and will likely use it for a decade.
