After a long time trying to play Steam games on my android handheld, I found the best way (hexbear.net)

You do need a laptop, but Moonlight is the best way to go about it that ive found. Install sunshine on your machine, put Moonlight onto your android device, and link the two.

Emable upnp forwarding, and youre golden! Ive been sitting at my hangout spot playing this and that for the last hour, and even with mosou games, they work well!

Gamehub is the runner up if you dont have access to WiFi. That installs the game locally, but not everything runs well.

I know theres a few of you with emulation handhelds, so wanted to pass this on cause im fucking thrilled!

Did you mean Steam is going in on ARM? The Steam Deck is already x86…

Yep. I should proofread more. My bad. I'm barely scraping together replies at the moment and my presently-unmedicated ADHD ass is not up to the task of focusing on anything.

Edit: I meant to say "Valve" in the above comment, not steam smh. Truly not my best work, just the best that I'm capable of at the moment.

Eh, Valve and Steam are practically synonyms, I do the same thing all the time and only correct myself half the time.

I only mentioned the ARM thing because I am super stoked at what a Bazzite/Cachy/etc. equivalent fork of SteamOS ARM could do for the Chinese import handheld scene.

Accuracy is always important and I really value being corrected when I'm wrong because it's nice to know people have my back when I make mistakes, so thank you.

And yeah, there are some pretty exciting developments in the pipeline.
