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!

Fair. And yeah, widescreen patches really only work well half of the time.

I don't have an SD but I'd assume that if you're not pushing it to its limits with emulation then you'd get a good 6 hours out of PS1 emulation or lower gen emulation, right?

That’s true yes! PS1 and down you’ll get 6 hours no problem. If you start getting into ps2 era and beyond then it’s not going to be so good depending on the game. I have an OG LED model to be clear, the newer ones are better.

I got a first-gen Legion Go. The only way I'm getting 6 hours out of the battery is by putting it in standby mode.

That's just more evidence to the point that you can't go wrong by getting a Steam Deck.
