Essence_of_Meh

I probably can’t help with the hardware part but want to clarify just in case:

• are you looking for an officially licensed one or just anything? I’m guessing the latter based on the “cheap” requirement?
• are you looking for a gift or just a way for her to play those games?
• if it’s the latter, does she have a smartphone? any budget phone will easily handle this kind of emulation so she could just use that

It actually does, funnily enough. You have to set an environment variable for it to work though.

Here’s a Steam guide.

Now the question is: are they going to be complete assholes and change this check to prevent non Deck players from using it or not?
