Playing GBA games on the new 3.5 firmware uses between 3.9 and 4.6 watts with screen at half brightness. I’ve never seen battery life like this before, previously it would use at least 6 watts.
I’ve yet to try other systems. Very impressive!

This is great. My Deck basically became my emulation handheld; moved most of my AAA library to the Ally. Poor Ally might get retired with the OLED arriving in the mail.
Can we download roms on steam deck without using a usb driver ? Would love to play my childhood games…
Yeah just download them from desktop mode.
As OP said… you just go to Desktop mode, open Mozilla/Chrome etc, then just Google “Tony Hawk ps2 download” and you’ll be 3 clicks away from the game:)
I get 4 hrs of wow classic
Oled device?
no, original deck
Amazing
Now combine that with oled and you get 15 hours
Can confirm if you just want to emulate games the battery life is amazing
updated to 3.5 and updated emulators and seeing around 5w across multiple systems and games, did half brightness not sure if there were any other adjustments
