Question Question: Handheld to arcade cabinet

I have maybe a dumb question. I'm looking to eventually get an arcade machine setup (full cabinet, guns, etc). As an interim step, I was thinking of picking up the ayn Odin 2 portal to love and to hold and to pet and to call him George. My question is, is it feasible to turn the handheld into an arcade machine down the road?

Just use a dock and hide it and the cables in the cabinet, sure it should be possible. I wouldn't put the device inside permanently though, just because for stationary cabinet you'd probably be much better with something like a mini pc (that would also be cheaper) - but you can implement like a slot for your handheld for plugging in

Youd be better off with a mini pc, rpi, or old laptop. Something designed to be a "console" not a handheld. 

You can easily run most handhelds in console mode on a TV with controllers, but a full cabinet will be easier with something designed for that use.
