Steam Deck just for the fact that you'll have INFINITE amounts of support for the foreseeable future
It might not be the best hardware out there but you'll always get the latest software updates to all the emulators and mods

A steam deck is more then capable of playing GTA 4/Max Payne 3. But you gonna be looking at the official PC ports. Not ps3 emulation. PS3 Emulation is still shaky at best on Steam deck. It's a bit better on the windows handhelds(ROG Ally/Legion Go)
Emulation up to PSP is perfect on steam deck. PS3/Xbox 360 and high end switch games struggle on steam deck
ROG Ally/Legion Go has emulation up to PS3/High end switch games works pretty well but still not perfect. PS3 emulation even on high end desktops pcs is still not "perfect"
But again outside of first party titles most games from that gen has official pc ports that will run fine on steam deck.
If you on a budget i would be on the look out for a used steam deck oled/rog ally z1e for around 350$. They pop up on facebook marketplace all the time honestly.
I personally have a launch day ROG Ally Z1E and it's hands down the best tech purchase i ever made. And the ROG Ally X is even better. I'm personally waiting for a actual gen 2 device and not a mid gen refresh though. Which seems they gonna hit summer of next year.

AMD just tipped the Z2 Extreme chip for next year’s Steam Deck competitors
Its predecessor drove the ROG Ally and Legion Go.

PS3 emulation on my SD has been pretty solid with Emudeck/RPCS3. Some of the roms get real resource heavy, but I haven't had any real problems with any PS3 games I've tried to run.
360 is shot to shyt though. Can't get anything to run decent there

I remember i was trying to get ncaa 14 working on my brother steam deck and it loaded up but it was choppy as hell. Went through settings for like a hour just testing stuff out but couldn't get it to run smoothly. That game just worked out the box on my ally.
But yea steam deck can def run alot of ps3 games "well enough". I just wouldn't get a steam deck if my sole reasoning for a handheld pc was for ps3 emulation when better options are avaliable for around the same price tag.

Yea and even with my Ally i still couldn't get Gran Tursimo 5 working smoothly. But i will say the ally has impressed me with it's ps3 emulation. Being able to play college football revamped on the go is crazy and i actually completed GOW Ascension on my ally with a few stutters here and there towards end game.

Also there's a Google doc that has all the info in regards to available gaming handhelds and listing what each can emulate.
Link here: PC/Retro Gaming Handhelds Database
I just copped and Odin 2 recently and I love it. Can play everything through PS2/Wii/Wii U + Handhelds all the way up to switch plus Android and RPG Maker games. Been playing Def Jam Fight For NY and it runs smooth. But Odin 2 is one of the Android based handhelds and in order to play PC games you need a Windows emulator while the Windows and Steam OS handhelds natively play them.
The video above is reviewing the Windows/Steam handhelds from this year.
