Is this a general question why someone would want to emulate the games? It’s mostly about preservation. In example I also play the original Super Nintendo games on a good emulator of my choice, rather than the official versions from Steam, because I like that more. From the Steam Decks perspective, I’m more interested into the technical perspective that this is even possible. Even if we just play small indie games on it. It would mean we don’t need monstrous PCs after all, because developers try to make it run on small handhelds.
