Comment on Steamdeck or....

I feel like you might not understand what emulation is based on you commenting that you aren’t much of a gamer—basically, using a phone you can emulate different consoles. And they often don’t have ads.
What type of phone do you have? On my S24 I can emulate up to Switch games, but a lot of phones can emulate up to the PS2 era. You can also look into something called “Winlator” where you can emulate windows games on the phone too.

What emulators do you recommend? I have an S23 but am about to try swapping it for a Fairphone running e/OS

Haha honestly just go find a game that’s been on your backlog for a few years, look on Wikipedia, then see if it has a console equivalent. Then go download a console emulator from the emulation wiki recommended in another comment.
For example, if I wanted to play the original Disgaea, I know it plays on the DS in addition to the PC. So why not play it on a DS emulator like Drastic?
