i'm gonna get downvoted for this, but the one i already have handy all the time: my phone.

Everyone in the replies here is sleeping on the raw emulation power of most people's phone, doubly so if you're willing to bt sync a controller to it. I've got a significant percentage of the SNES and PS1 libraries playable on mine.

i agree with you, figuring useful and fun UI using touch and swipes is a real challenge. but ive never seen someone whip out a bluetooth joypad for their phone in public.

I mean, with GamePass, Steam, and the Razer Kishi, I feel like my phone is basically a Steam Deck, so I tend to agree.
