Please forgive the naive (stupid) question. Does the steam deck allow emulator to play games that don't normally run on emulators? I've been trying to play Blitz The League 2 for soooo long

Not a stupid question at all :) the steam deck can emulate games a mid-spec modern gaming computer can handle, I've had good performance with up to PS2 titles, but I have never tried PS3 or Xbox 360.

I think Emudeck includes RPCS3, a PS3 emulator. It could be worth trying, for sure, but I'd expect it to stutter a bit :)

if it doesn't run in RPCS3 on a computer the steam deck won't be any different, it's essentially just a gaming PC that boots into big picture mode after all :)

The steam deck can run RPCS3 I played a good amount of Demon's Souls that way
