  It absolutely is!

  I have a screenshot in the article of me doing just that. In fact it handles it so well that you can upscale the resolution a ton, and you can add HD texture packs. So it plays unbelievably well. Check my linked post up the top in this post and you’ll find some details I go into for getting it to work with HD texture packs!

    Awesome, thanks!

    Can it save anywhere by any chance? I haven’t looked into it at all but I’ve always wondered if a good emulator could just take a snapshot at any moment to act as a save anywhere function.

      I use RetroDECK, which in turn uses the left-hand trackpad on the SteamDeck as a ‘radial dial’. I touch it, then select ‘quick’ then select ‘save’ - and it then makes an instant save state. So I don’t have to use any menu or loading point. I just start a game, then use the touchpad to ‘load’ that state and it is instant!

      Save anywhere, any time. And load the same way. :)
