Surprised to hear that with the popularity of Retroarch on the Steam Deck

AFAIK retroarch uses swanstation, a hard fork specifically for retroarch created in 2024 when duckstation switched from GPL to a source available license. Also retroarch alternatively has the beetle core which is also a pretty good ps1 emulator

So then, really, swanstation is better anyway.

Well, swanstation doesn’t work standalone and some people have said it performs worse, but it’s not like you need a very powerful system anyway
