I loved my 35xxh, it just needed more power for full speed Saturn.
Im curious. What is the difference between Steamdeck/Emudeck on a Steam OS device and having Emudeck on a W11 device (with steam)?Ended up buying a Legion Go S. I was able to get it for only £250 due to the current sales and having some vouchers so it was much better value! I'll be sticking Steam OS and Emudeck onto it straight away
From a lot of the reviews I looked at, generally Windows just performs worse on these handhelds due to bloat. Steam OS is made for this form factor and does a better job overall.Im curious.

Obviously a lot of people swear by the Steamdeck and its integrated environment, and I have heard so many people dump on W11, but what is it exactly that makes Steamdeck/Steam OS environment advantageous over W11?
Thanks
I haven't even used my LEGO since I got my RP5, playing god of War at 2.25x resolution on the standard performance profile, it's silent, battery lasts forever, I love it, find it pretty comfy until you either need to heavily use the triggers or both analogues, luckily neither too intensive in god of War. I've ordered the official grip to help with that though.

You'll love it, emulation is epic especially when you can do things like turbo mode at the press of a hot key... Older games tended to have some tedious parts and speeding them up is a godsend, stuff like pokemon you can beat in barely anytime and don't need to worry about getting the special shoes or bike depending on what gameI bit the bullet and ordered the RP5 yesterday. 4PX shipping so I presume at least a few weeks to arrive.
Been reading on how to setup in the meantime:
Retroid Pocket Starter Guide
Last updated: 22MAY2025 (see Changelog for details) The Retroid Pocket handhelds are seemingly simple devices to set up — they run on Android, so how hard could it be? Well it turns out there…
Think I'll go with a 256GB SD card for now, looked at 1TB but they're around £100 which is crazy. Any reason SD cards are expensive compared to hard drives?
Yeah guess I'll figure it out, like the 4:3 games you can add borders etc.You'll love it, emulation is epic especially when you can do things like turbo mode at the press of a hot key...

As for sd cards.. It is what it is, a tiny piece of hardware, paying for that premium to have such high capacity in a small form factor.
I personally just install what I want to play and then add what I want next, I don't know how people pick a game when you have 10,000 in a menu, my adhd brain would not be able to select one!
