So, imagine a fight stick, but kinda big and it also has an soc in it to run games on itself and connect to a display. So it can be a controller for other systems or a self contained emulator box thing

I think this was an Atari 2600 on a chip though, not emulation, although I’m not 100% sure. Wikipedia states that the successor from 2005 used such a design, but surely this must have been the only way of creating this kind of low-cost device in 2002. I doubt there was anything cheap enough that could emulate even a system as basic as the 2600 in software back then.
I know, that’s where I got imspiration…but like something that cousl also act as a PC controller
They used to have these for star wars and similar games. May not have come with a screen though
No, I mean a controller, that when not controlling an external system becomes a plug and play
Something like this?

its not on the same board,
but you could build something like that with a gp-2040 board and a raspberry pi running RetroPie
not sure if fightcade runs well on the raspberry pi’s arm chip tho (since you called it a fightstick instead of arcade stick)
Capcom released a comically ugly version of this a while back, shaped like a giant Capcom logo, with a very questionable selection of games. Only fighting games included were SF2 Hyper Fighting and Cyberbots. No Super Turbo, no Alpha, no 3rd Strike, no VSav...
Lol
I mean a conteolelr that can work as say a switch figgtstick and also a plug and play
Growing up this bad boy was my family’s only gaming console: <img alt="" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZUxsuLBaL.jpg"> It had Ms Pacman, Galaga, Mappy, Pole Position, Xevious… that might have been it? It was like you said, you just plug it into the video and audio jacks, it was all one thing.
