I was disappointed that we didn't get Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story on the VCS, but I had to have it. I had a spare Team Group SSD lying around, so I installed it on my stock Onyx 8GB VCS and changed the boot order in the BIOS. Viola, a Steam machine that feels like Steam Deck or Big Picture Mode. The game ran beautifully.
Then I tried titles that crashed on a stock system from a Windows bootable USB.  These include Minter's Moose Life, Balls of Steel, the Lunar Lander demo, etc. They all ran fine.
ChimeraOS also has RetroArch baked in, and support for Epic and GOG. In addition to Steam.
Anyway, this may be a window into second life for VCS owners once Atari pulls the plug.
Have you tried ChimeraOS on the VCS?

Very unexpected package arrived today. Turned out to be a belated Birthday gift from my wonderful wife. My birthday was this past Feb 11th and was fine, little did I know my wife conspired with my buddy Ray who is a fan and collector of the related item enclosed and so worked with my wife to get this to me.
 
I don't handle surprises well in most cases due to my anxiety, I NEED routine but in this case, I make an exception, she's so sweet and after 20 years of marriage lucky she still puts up with me lol. 

I got in too late to get that but I would have for sure! I was only able to guy the ROM for it from Mr. Moeller directly about 2 years back.
There is quite a lot on the Intellivision side of the scene that I don't have or found out about much too late to get physical versions of the games.
 

+1 for Mystic Castle. I have a box and set of overlays for it too.

My comfort games are "Taz" and "Crystal Castles" for the Atari 2600. I loved them as a kid and still do.

Hmm... there are quite a few for me that fit this category. I would say Streets of Rage II and Gunstar heroes on the Genesis are games I always seem to fire up to play often.
On PC it would be Doom and the variants of it along with Wing Commander and Darwinia.
For Atari that is trickier... as that is all over the place for me. But at least on the 5200 I can say The Last Starfighter, Rescue on Fractalus for sure.
For the Intellivision it is Thunder Castle and Diner. (Although I do play my rom of Mystic Castle most these days)

I like quite a few others had been waiting for this because our Everdrives weren't working. I own a ver. 2.5 TED cart and none of the other work arounds posted were working for that model. Additionally, info from Krikzz stated that it wasn't likely to ever be possible to make those mid version TurboED carts work.
Well, we don't have to mess with any of it anymore as a jailbreak has been posted in a github that replaces the current firmware on the A-DUO and allows the use of .pce and even PCE CD ISO images to work from the SDcard on the back of the A-DUO. Just have to place the files in the right folders on the SD card and then after loading in the new firmware, you will have a new Play Assets option. Selecting this will then show the list of games it finds on the SDcard. CD ISOs have to be in their own separate subfolder for each game while you can have a set of different .PCE files on the SDCard to read normal HuCard images from.
And yes, so far the Library still shows the screenshots for each game when you select them just like normal games provided you have that images fileset. Save States still aren't a thing yet and it is unknown if this jail break will be updated once Analogue officially releases new FW to support that. But in the meantime, if you like me, have a TED you can't use on your A-DUO this link solves that issue for the time being.
