The original for Genesis is a great place to start. It's not elaborate, it's challenging and fun, and has the basic tropes of the series.

Full disclosure: I've never played any of the 3D Sonic games.

Anbernic RG353VS - I'm using a third party OS and it's my go-to handheld when the steam deck is inappropriate. Fits my hands and plays my favorite games. I love it for GBA and SNES.

PowKiddy RGB30 - second choice. I like the bigger screen and it's a 720x720 screen that works great with game boy. I use a third party OS and play a lot of Pico -8 stuff on it too.

PowKiddy RK2023 - Adequate, not Great. Boots slow. Doesn't feel good in the hands.

PowKiddy v90 - practically e-waste. Processor too anemic to run SNES. GBA emu was fine. Plastic so cheap I fear the stupid thing would shatter with a short drop.

I didn't do any fancy mounting, as far as I can remember. I think it really was just a matter of copying the directories to my SD card and replacing the directories on the deck with links to the ones I copied to the card.

I'll take a look at what I did the next time I get the deck out and let you know

Really grinds my gears manufacturers pretend the beveled screens are premium features and not the ugly, difficult-to-protect liabilities that they actually are.

Not directly relevant but if you have the 64gb deck and a big SD card: you can symlink the directory that houses all the proton versions and shader catches to the SD card.

That was pretty much the first thing I did after I got my deck, as a stopgap before I could upgrade the SSD but it's been working well enough I never got around to swapping out the SSD after, what, almost two years?

Just get a decent 1-2GB SD card for the 64 GB deck. Uninvasive, convenient, cheap storage upgrade with no human-noticeable performance difference between the more expensive decks.

I've owned both the 512 GB and 64 GB deck + big SD card and I can't tell the difference between them without precise performance benchmarks. The only difference is the 512 GB has an anti glare screen.
