Of the games mentioned, the F-Zero one seems the most interesting. I’ve tried to get into it the unmodded version several times over the years, but it never stuck. The controls always just felt way too slippery.
I ended up trying out RetroDeck after reformatting my deck a few weeks back. Flatpak install was pretty seamless, and I liked being able to save all my ROMs to SD card by default instead of my limited 256 SSD.
I have some of the GCN and GBA games I’ve always loved in addition to stuff I never got around to playing, like Jet Set Radio and Star Fox 64.
Of all my “games” on my deck, RetroDeck/Emulation Station had the highest playtime before I formatted, at 100 hours.
