Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too

    There’s a 99% chance it’ll be one of those fake emulation consoles with 5000 pirated roms loaded into it

      Wouldn’t be too out of pocket for Putin to advocate pirating all games not developed in Russia

        Good then maybe they’d stop with all the gray market shit that they’re into. Stolen keys are worse for developers than piracy, and Russia is notorious for it (along with other countries).

      Those are fun, though. You get a single console that emulates a lot of systems for a good price. Some have cute retro styles!

      I got the Miyoo Mini Plus that runs on Linux. It emulates many old consoles like GB and GBA, and can even run some DS, N64, and PS1 games, which are a great addition. Of course you need to tweak it a little with a good OS (not the Chinese one) and a good SD card with a library of games from the buccaneer communities. Edit: It’s not hard at all.

      The Steam Deck is amazing, so I don’t think they can rival it, but if they make a better Odin 2 cheaper than the Steam Deck, I’d be tempted, lol.
