Steam Deck gamers wishing to enjoy a little emulation and enjoy older classic games may be interested in a new emulation upgrade now available for Valve’s Steam Deck handheld console in the form of Batocera. The open source and completely free retro gaming distribution is small enough to be copied to a USB stick or an SD card and has been created with the aim of transforming any computer or in this case a handheld games console into a retro emulation station and Batocera.linux does not require any modification on your computer. “Note that you must own the games you play in order to comply with the law” explains the Batocera website. If you already own one of Valve’s excellent handheld games consoles you might be interested in how you can add Steam Deck custom boot animations personalising your system further.
