  The Steam Deck, like most mobile devices, don’t have issues with voltage as most don’t deal with it. It’s their charging cables that do that, which are external.

  In the Steam Decks case, you just need a plug adapter as the stock USB plug that comes with it is rated for 110-240 volts. Your voltage is 230 volts, so no problems.

  I’ve already had to do this, so already know it works. I’ve used my Canadian Steam Deck (110 volts) in Ireland (230 volts), and well as in Korea (220 volts). All I needed was a plug adapter, not a voltage adapter.

  If you are still worried though, the Steam Deck is powered completely through USB C so you could just get a different USB C adapter to charge it. The stock plug charges at a rate of 40 watts, but can go slower though charging speed will show.

  If you like VN style games, I’d recommend “Hotel Dusk: Room 215” and “Last Window: The Secret of Cape West”. (Same genre as Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright). Both are on the DS, and each takes advantage of the hardware as well.

  I have a N3DS. As for when I last tried, would have been 8 to 12 months ago max.

  And the Vita doesn’t has multiple days of all day gaming, it has about the same amount of play time as the 3DS, but it can be left in sleep mode for much longer. After 2-3 days of being in sleep mode (normal, not an emulator), the 3DS battery is drained and i need to recharge it. The Vita can sit for a week or 2 and barely have lost any power.

  What PSX games did you try? I tried Silent Hill and it was more of a sideshow than a game.

  As for the power drain, I don’t always have time to charge every night and that’s when I see the problems. (Traveling and such)

  A used PS Vita would be better I feel. Similar size, and just as hackable (Emu4Vita). Except a Vita has:

  • better screen
  • Bluetooth audio (more and more headphones are Bluetooth)
  • A functional sleep mode (the 3ds doesn’t go into sleep mode unless it’s a 3DS/DS game. So any emulator game just turns off the screen but still runs and drains the battery)
  • A possibly standard connector (the 2000 series uses micro-USB)

  The only advantage a 3DS has is that it has 3DS and DS games, but the Vita has PS Vita games, PSP games, and PSX games to its advantage.
