I feel for the author when it comes to the quest for an ideal zen state with tech. It seems like you’re always making a compromise somewhere. For so long I’ve avoided emulating games because something was always fucky about it. Visuals, audio, game bugs — you name it. I recently bought a Steam Deck and outfitted it with retroarch to see if anything had changed in that world and my god everything has changed. The device effortlessly emulated games all the way up to the switch generation and they look and play beautifully. No configuration needed. It’s the experience I’ve always dreamt of with emulation and it’s a total game changer when it comes to my nerves.
