Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine?

Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I’ve heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that’s been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

I know the virtual pinball community frequently recommends steam decks to power their pinball cabinets. I would assume that means it’s pretty decent compared to other cheap PC options.

  I guess they can also reuse the LCD.

    Lol I guess they could mount the deck to show as a scoreboard.
