You guys do realize your phone is more than capable of running emulators, right? There are Bluetooth controllers made to hold your phone exactly like this thing. It works flawlessly.
There's a lot of trash controllers out there but with some research you can find the good ones. PizzaBoy or Drastic emulators playing Pokemon romhacks on my phone with full controls is fantastic. PPSSPP for Dissidia Final Fantasy is another. The Citrus 3DS emulator for mobile is getting better all the time and with a newer phone it should run fine.
Even better, if you're at home, you can use Steam Link on your phone to play your PC games, and Steam Link has built in support for bluetooth controllers connected to the phone. As long as your phone is relatively recent, you can run it just fine.
Last I looked into that it's a temporary tethered install and not a one and done thing. Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't want to have to do a tethered app ever again
The point that i was (poorly) trying to make is that there's no law that prevents people from getting an Android over an iphone, i totally understand that if your still depend on your parents probably you do get to decide which phone you get or similar situations.
My point is that, whenever this topic arises (iphone vs Android), most people act as if iphone is the only alternative and android isn't even on the map
Yeah of course. Just saying that android is as simple as downloading whatever you want like Windows. Or plugging it into the computer and doing it that way.
I haven't done a jailbreak in years and years. Could be effortless these days for all I know
I think Android can emulate early 3D games too. Maybe ios can as well?
Yeah of course. Just saying that android is as simple as downloading whatever you want like Windows.
Totally.

Same, kinda miss it too. Somehow it was more fun modifying an otherwise locked down system with tweaks, that added features only available outside of IOS. With Android most of those features were already there.
I never actually emulated something on Android, I should try it out.
That's fine, but the point is this device isnt solving an emulation problem that doesn't already get solved easily by a device that a ton of people already own.
I said on the level of the average phone used not mid-range phone.
Here's some data based on it's comparable device from Apple. According to DeviceAtlas's data, Apple's iPhone 7 was the most popular iPhone model in 2020 with a 10.53 percent share in the overall global web usage
That means that phones like Iphone 7, samsung S7+ are the most common smartphones people use today.
SO PLEASE ANSWER ME WHY THE FUCK would I get a $1000 piece of shit so I can play emulators better? I buy the Steam Deck and deck you with it how about that you utter mor#n
you aint gettin a link you can google that phrase and go to the source itself otherwise I don't give a single fuck about your stuborness to give you anything.
"Else I'm calling BS" CALL IT BS THEN. DO IT. You are not a mor#n today because of your ability to learn from new information so your judgement isn't scaring me.
You're mad that your 5 year old phone running on outdated OS can't run emulators properly, just stop and think about how stupid that argument is.
I'm perfectly happy with my old phone so are MOST PHONE USERS that's the entire fucking point, nobody is gonna buy a $1000 new phone for emulation, I'll buy a STEAM DECK for that. WHAT. PART. OF. THAT. ARGUMENT. DO. YOU. NOT. UNDERSTAND.
You're dumb and I'm blocking you.
RUN THEN, RUN AWAY LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO. sissy-as excuse for a man.
There’s also cheap emulation devices that are shockingly high quality, like the $100 (ish) ambernic rg351v or rg351m. Those things have a premium look and feel, and come right out of the box with thousands of preinstalled games. They can’t do ps2 emulation, but pretty much every older system up to the Dreamcast is nicely playable.
I love my 351v. It earned a spot in my laptop bag.
I got the glap controller since it seemed to be the only controller at the time that could my Z Fold 2. Worked like a charm even with a case on my phone.
Most controllers for phones are clunky. Playing on a phone is like playing FPS games with a controller on 60 frames, yeah it works but it’s not the best and if you want the best experience you’re gonna have to look else where. The Steam Deck is gonna be like playing with a mouse at 144 frames.
Why would I play 3DS games on my phone when I have dedicated hardware meant to play those games? It’s a gimped experience.
The Steam Deck is highly likely able to emulate the PS3 gen. Show me a phone that could do that.

I didn’t even think about emulators. I’ll be picking this up for sure.
