      I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
      Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
      Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
      But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.

      Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)

        none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus

        probably wouldn’t be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it’s pretty noticeable

          As I’ve only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can’t say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).

          But I’ll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
          When it’s as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.

            oh yeah for sure I don’t think it’s a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.

            i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn’t even consider it for steamdeck … that doesn’t sound terrible w how big the screen is

            considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn’t emulate well

              I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.

              Honestly it’s amazing.
              Same for melonDS.

              Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.

        I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.

          Not something I’d choose to research but everyones different :)

          Hope you stay high on your dopamine and your future research endeavours!
