Performance & Compatibility

Excellent for 8‑ and 16‑bit games, with smooth, frame‑perfect performance.

PS1 games run very well, and many N64/Dreamcast titles are playable with minor slowdowns 

PSP and high‑end N64 games may see some slowdown; tweaking settings can improve performance 

Touch controls for DS titles are limited, so some DS games may not be fully playable
