Introducing an alternative to the Steam Deck, this concept emerged coinciding with the launch of the Rog Ally. Leveraging the Minisforum EM680/EM780 Base computer, complemented by a USB PD-enabled battery bank, and coupled with a budget-friendly screen and joy cons, the idea was to create a portable gaming solution that seamlessly integrated Windows and RetroArch for comprehensive gaming experiences.

Upon reflection, while the execution may have been less than optimal, characterized by its lightweight and somewhat haphazard construction, the underlying concept remains intriguing. This serves as an open invitation for innovators to refine and build upon this groundwork.

Regrettably, the origin of the joy cons utilized in this project eludes me, as I repurposed them without retaining their source information. Should anyone recognize their origin or seek to further develop this concept, I extend my apologies for any oversight.
