PiBoy Mini: just add a Raspberry Pi and you've got a handheld retro gaming system
PiBoy Mini bridges the retro gaming gap for beginners, allowing them to buy a partially assembled device that just needs a Raspberry Pi added
Retro gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old video games onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind. PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing partially-assembled devices to their customers. The rest is BYORP: bring your own Raspberry Pi.

These things are cool in theory, but $100 before the computer is past what I'd pay for a novelty.
So you like $200-150 for a working system. Then the steam deck is like hey im $400 and way more capable.
Sometimes the portability is nice.
There's also a ton of emulation handhelds out there that can likely do the same thing with better firmware for around $100. Look at the RG35XX or the Miyoo Mini. Both devices can play up to PSX.
I see what your saying.
