I dunno if you'd wanna waste a whole sd card for a single game when you could fit hundreds on it.

The Snes rom set fits in 4gb with room for saves. A 16gb card could likely hold NES, SNES and N64.

Not if were talking cyberpunk and such

In that case you'd want them on something faster than an SD card, or loading times would be brutal.

I play cyberpunk and similar sized games from an SD card on steam Deck. It's not brutal.
