You can probably build this yourself with bazzite and a compact pc, but the pricing looks pretty attractive (for the ryzen variant at least)
-
With products like these you're paying for convenience

The Playstation Dreamcast: 64

Emu deck in a nutshell 😂
-
-
I like the product, but Interesting that they're selling access to retro games. Seems risky.
-
So Dreamcast 2.0 based on the pic? Go on....
-
Right, but I'm assuming where the disk drive used to be is just decorative and not a optical disc slot
-
Could be a cover to easy access a ssd slot and RAM banks.

I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate
-
Cool devices, but I've seen Beelink PCs with better specs and for cheaper. Cool if you want the case but not really worth it at the end of the day.
-
I love the idea, but I don't believe the timeline.
-
Well, there are already great emulators for nearly every console on Linux, all you need to do, is create a full screen app, that is controlled by controller, where you pick your games And the hardware, of course, but this is mostly of the shelf as well, I would say

OS wise this is ready to go, my main concern is that their emu deck project is written in a way that needs KDE to be fully functional. Hopefully this is just because is started out as a steam deck app and isn't inexperience.
The old frontends like Hyperspin and Launchbox were similar in that they were developed in such a way it really limited where those projects could go, as such the retro frontends for Linux have been pretty limited.
Be really cool to see them expand Emu deck into a standalone program, it's even cooler that we're seeing the intention of Ublue already allowing people to achieve their goals.

Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?
Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still...
