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

    I can only speak for Wii emulation, it works great.

    OLED deck have excellent Bluetooth compatibility with WiiMotes, I can hook up 4 of them using emulated bluetooth mode. (Can’t get passthru mode working tho)

    Some configuration beforehand such as changing all four controller slots into “real WiiMote” & enable continues scanning is all you need to do.

    Just a side note. Switching between handheld and docked mode is a dull process. In order to switch input source you have to go to desktop mode every time.
