I'm playing Medabots: Kabuto for GBA. It's a pretty fun although simple JRPG. It has a neat unit customization system, enjoyable story and great art/music.
Combat is unique in a way that can be a bit annoying (you only have a partial control on who to target) but it's something one can get used to and work around to some extent.
I also installed The Sims 2 (Ultimate Collection, not the Legacy one) but I didn't really spend much time playing it on the Deck (I usually default to my desktop playthrough). Based on a short test I did manage to do it seems to be working and controlling pretty well so that's promising at least.
If you're playing GBA JRPGs, I'd like to recommend Golden Sun 1&2 as fantastic games.
They're ready and waiting actually! I just want to finish other things (including Medabots) before starting another big title - I already have trouble keeping myself from constant game hopping as it is. Good suggestion though.
