Gonna get one of these soon.

Anybody have any experience with emulation on these?

Can it do more modern systems like switch?

Hate the switch hardware but would be cool to play the couple switch games i want to play with better performance.


Also i’m not to bothered by graphics/resolution but can it play most games at 60fps?

I have Metroid Dread and DK Tropical Freeze for the Switch on mine, and they run great.

Mass Effect trilogy running flawless for damn near all 3 games. Frames don't drop until 3 and even then, it's not gamebreaking.

The whole series on a handheld? I'm flabbergasted :wow:


Full disclosure though, I had to sign up for an EA account and link my Steam account to get past the launcher but once you do that, it's no longer an issue :manny:

I have it on ps5 but damn im about to cop

I'm so excited to emulate GameCube and PS2 games. Before the SD, all I had was my RP3 which is great...all the way up until GameCube, and, at that point, its just not powerful enough. I most excited to play Sonic Heroes. That used to be one of my favorite games. I also have several games on my Steam wish list that I'll be buying. Can't wait for this adventure!
