EmuDeck coder pivots to hardware with Linux-based “EmuDeck Machines” - eviltoast

While I think something like this makes sense, the pricing seems off. For $600 you can build a PC with a desktop GPU. If you want to make it easy to set up, you could just use an off the shelf mini-PC and preinstall everything so a non-technical user can get started without any hassle. I really hope we’ll see more Steam machine like devices in the future.

    I’m super confused here…

    EmuDeck is basically a collection of installer scripts that installs EmulationStation and Retroarch. It doesn’t really do much else, and it’s really not a good piece of software at that.

    Why is this person trying to make standalone hardware?
