I've messed around with emulators in the past. To be honest the tweaking and fiddling with things drove me mad. It was 100 times easier to just switch on a dedicated device and dive into a game.

Then again I'm not buying the latest games or consoles, I've got some other ones that I dive into every now and then for a distraction.

Funny, I have Switches and the games I want but still went through the effort to get it running on pc and steam deck. For fun?
