Honestly yeah. Finally got a Steam Deck. Found out it plays PSP games buttery smooth on a great screen and have yet to log any hours on actual triple-A games because nostalgia is happening

i mean even your phone can definitely run psp games at full speed, even if it's a budget phone from 2016.
though mobile controllers are quirky (like stretching ones or whatever) and android is really not the best gaming platform (it just doesn't feel right)

I know it doesn't feel as good as a PSP, I have one which only works plugged in to the wall, it is a big deal to me so I decided to take my save game and finish P3P in my phone with a Razer Kishi, it definitely made it feel better and the save games and fast forward features were a nice addition.

I still feel what you said though... Some devices such as a Retroid Pocket 3+/4 seems like a better option and keeping it in the Android emulation side.

Legitimately, apart from a handful of indie games I had in my Steam library that I hadn’t gotten around to playing yet (eg. Hades), I’ve shown the majority of my time playing SNES and PSP games.

For some reason, I can’t get the controllers emulating for the PS1 correctly (both in Desktop and Deck modes); otherwise I’d be neck deep in Suikoden, Final Fantasy 9 and Tombi/Tomba too!

If it’s any consolidation to your issue, I use https://www.emudeck.com/ Which will setup most of everything very well. I then run EmulationStation, and go to the alternative emulators section and run PS1 games through retroarch which will give you more options to configure your controls. I always save my remaps to the core so that all games played with use the same control config. Such as SNES games using A on the decks A button because I absolute HATE nintendos control scheme. :)
