You do need a laptop, but Moonlight is the best way to go about it that ive found. Install sunshine on your machine, put Moonlight onto your android device, and link the two.
Emable upnp forwarding, and youre golden! Ive been sitting at my hangout spot playing this and that for the last hour, and even with mosou games, they work well!
Gamehub is the runner up if you dont have access to WiFi. That installs the game locally, but not everything runs well.
I know theres a few of you with emulation handhelds, so wanted to pass this on cause im fucking thrilled!
For anyone interested in Gamehub without the tracking and telemetry, there’s a patch that removes it. Some technical knowledge and command line work required. Note that I haven’t tried this personally, it just showed up while I was looking up gamehub.
I had some success with light (2d low requirement) games on Gamehub, but its a lot of tinkering for only a few games that work.
Moonlight comes with a built in steam connection so I can open my account right from the app and install/play anything. I was playing in a busy area earlier on a business network, and it was super smooth on Ultrakill, One Piece Grand Battle 3, and Whisker Squadron.
Granted, you do need wifi, but if you can run the game on your “main”/hub/primary device, it ran great over the internet. Next time ill try some pvp GG Strive if anyone wants to 1v1 me (you’ll win)
