What's your favorite way to play old games? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I was just thinking about how there's so many ways to play our old favorite games these days: Collecting for original hardware, playing ports and remasters on modern consoles, throwback consoles like the SNES Classic, having a dedicated emulation machine or handheld, etc.

What method works best for you? Has it changed over time?

If I can run it on the Miyoo Mini Plus, that. I like this thing so much I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. One day someone will get SteamOS running on a device this size, that's when I'll upgrade.

That would be awesome! I love my Steam Deck, but it's too big for my taste, and I keep it docked all the time. So it's my "desktop PC" lol.

I'd totally get a retro handheld if they made a good one around the PS Vita's size and ran on something like SteamOS.

Yeah, my Deck has honestly just been gathering dust. Deck + dock is a portable setup I can take to FGC events, but that's really all I ever use it for.
