Does anyone here own a STEAMDECK? I don't sadly but I am still fascinated by it and this recent video gets into another great use for it, EMULATION! 
VIDEO DESCRIPTION - 
Atari Jaguar emulation and Atari Jaguar CD emulation took huge strides in 2023 with BigPEmu, the best Atari Jaguar emulator...and today you can play Atari Jaguar games on Steam Deck with EmuDeck 2.2 and BigPEmu! SO let me show you how to get it set up! 
When enough of you keep asking me for the SAME THING I try to listen...so here we go; Steam Deck coverage! But of course this is a retro gaming channel so it's not like we are going to talk about modern PC Gaming on the Steam Deck...we are going to talk about the new updates to EmuDeck as we now have EmuDeck 2.2 with Sega Model 3 emulation via the Supermodel Emulator, Sega Model 2 emulation with Model 2 emulator, More Dreamcast and NAOMI emulation with the Flycast emulator and Atari Jaguar emulation with BigPEmu!
 

Oh man, that's freaking awesome!  I like it so much I turned it into a 3D night light lithophane.

Earlier today we hit Craft again, the place we planned was closed so it's always a great fallback.

I'm sorry to hijack this thread for a non-VCS reason, but I have a quick update on my old laptop.  It does NOT meet the minimum requirements for graphics adapter for ChimeraOS.  I think this speaks pretty well for the VCS hardware though.
I've moved on to trying "Batocera", another linux based gaming OS, instead.  It installed just fine and works pretty well so far.  I need to add more ROMS and that looks pretty easy to do.  It will be interesting to see which console this old laptop maxes out at.  I actually think a Raspberry Pi is more powerful than this computer.  However, this has a nice screen, keyboard, and touchpad built in, so it may be a perfect retro gaming station for really old games.
What is really cool is that everything just worked upon initial install.  Wifi, video, etc.  No fiddling necessary other than putting in a wifi password. 
 

I've no stake in this since I do not have VCS however, of course, I follow everything Atari and have followed the entire history of the Atari VCS release including all of the plus and minuses of the platform. I always thought I wanted to be prepared just in case I ever end up with one. Windows on an external drive or perhaps some other OS is a nice option many seem to have tried, of course, Chimera Linux is an excellent choice with it being a great alternative with Valve dragging its feet on releasing an official PC version of Steam OS. An excellent idea and as you have already confirmed seems to work well. Thanks for sharing. 

Damn, @Sabertooth!  You gave me the info I needed for a really crappy old Windows laptop that I've been wondering what to do with.  It's a beauty cosmetically, but it has a really BAD AMD E-300 CPU that can't even run Solitaire at 30fps. 

I'm going to try putting ChimeraOS on there.

I have not done this, but would try it and add Chimera to a separte external SD drive someday

You touched on something very important here. If and when that day comes and Atari offers zero support, we need to find new and innovative ways of keeping the VCS humming along for decades into the future. That can and will be done, and Club VCS will be at the epicenter of the innovation I’m sure.
