    Or anything that is more modern. Why bother buying antiquated hardware to emulate when you can get a Steam Deck?

      Price would be the main factor. You can’t buy a Steam Deck for £100. Also a Vita is a lot smaller so easier to travel with.

        Well there are a number of smaller named sellers that make similar platforms, but not with the OS behind it. Asus and Lenovo also have Windows based alternatives in the market now.

      The Vita is a lot smaller at least right? If all you are going to do is play retro stuff the deck might be overkill.

      If I can get one of the refurbs for cheap and add my own larger drive I am def ready to get one though.

        You can use a number of other smaller devices with better hardware as well. The Deck has the benefit of being multipurpose, a solid interface, ongoing maintenance and updates…etc.

      I was considering a Steam Deck for the commute but people in my work place steal. Lads have had jacket pockets rifled and lockers broken into. We used to get free lunch but that stopped because people kept snapping the locks on the cupboards to nick bread and tins of soup.

      Something I could either fit in my pocket or not be too fussed about the monetary loss would be the ticket.

      Any Chinese handhelds will do a better job than the Vita surely for less of the price, maybe ruling out PSP, PS1 and ofc VITA games.
