Single player tarkov, the mod that the RPS article is talking about
I tried SPT a few months ago (with additional mods) and it was enjoyable especially if you like tarkov. There's a mod which makes the maps connected, where different extractions lead to other maps. There's lots of things you can do to make the singleplayer experience better.
Although I've ended up playing the GAMMA modpack for STALKER Anomaly instead. It has what I look for in tarkov, and then some.
Can't you install Retroarch with emudeck and use that frontend to play GBA instead?
I personally wouldn't purchase modified devices or "TV boxes". Its simple enough to set it up yourself; buy a firestick, install Tivimate (an IPTV client), and optionally a VPN client. You'll need to find an IPTV provider which are usually subscriptions.
Same for me, automatic connection doesn't work.
For manual connection inside gaming mode I use this decky plugin: https://github.com/steve228uk/TunnelDeck
Saves me from having to go into desktop mode, connect, then back. I'm never sure if it the connection stays alive.
I wouldn't say it's never happened to me but 99% of the time it works. I just look at the idents, face it right way up, and shove it in. Unless I'm drunk or it's dark, I've never been able to relate.
