The tool I used for it is called the Retrode2, a cartridge dumper which doubles as a 2 SNES and 2 Genesis controller hub.

With a bit of patience you can even run SNES carts on a Steam Deck https://mastodon.social/@16bitvirtual/116479936082268893

Is it cheap? Nope

Is it sensible? Absolutely not,

Was it fun? 100%

    Lesser grade but similar emulation thing that surprised me:

    Play a DS or 3DS rom.

    Set up the dual screen config.

    Second screen is a map or inventory or drawing area?

    Just poke the screen.

    At least the OLED Deck: yep, its all a touchscreen.

          They’re functionally the same, the oled though has a better screen and a bit better cooling so probably performs ever so slightly better in certain scenarios. And I think slightly better battery life.

            Yeah, I did know that the OLED variant does have a slightly larger capacity battery and a tweaked bit of the … basically the power management component/system in the mobo… and yeah, it has slightly different internal dimensions and layout in some respects, I’ve had to pick between OLED and LED variants for a few aftermarket upgrade kits I’ve gotten.

            I just did not realize the LCD was also touchscreen, derp.

            But yes, broadly speaking, very very similar in all other respects.
