I just bought a deck yesterday. Now you're telling me I can play my Gamecube games on it? Brain melts
- You could before as well. Check out EmuDeck.
- And Switch. And anything Retroarch supports.
  The Steam Deck is amazing.
- I've been playing my 3DS, Wii, WiiU, Gamecube, and PS2 titles on it.
I thought Nintendo shut that down? Or was that just Switch emulation?
- They sued one specific switch emulator.
- That was just the Yuzu/Citra team. Main reason they got in trouble (from what I understand) is that they were making money off of it, specifically people had to subscribe to their patreon to get Tears of the Kingdom optimized builds, when the only copy of TotK available was an illegal pre-release one.
  There were some more things like messages they sent that were incriminating, but that was the biggest thing afaik.
  
  For what it's worth, that bit about Patreon isn't true. There were fixed builds before release, but they were third party ones unaffiliated with the Yuzu devs.
Finally, whoever has been maintaining the current one hasn't let us have RetroAchievement support last I checked
- Nothing will change in that sense.
  There is already support for retroachievents, if you don't see it you're most likely on the stable branch.
  Retroachievents only work on the dev builds, which are available on flatpak-beta. The readme has some instructions in case you need them.
