Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? - eviltoast

Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I’ve heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that’s been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

    From my experience, it does not work very well. I like playing coop games with my kids, but sometimes the controllers stop working for some reason. But to change the controller config, I have to leave the game, switch to desktop mode, change settings and start the game again (in game mode).

    It’s possible, but a native console will likely work better.
