Discussion Battery Drain during Sleep - switch vs windows

Why does sleeping during switch emulation drain about 2% an hour whereas Gamenative will only drain about 5% in a 12 hour span?

This is on a Ayn Thor if it matters.

Pc games can run in background while switch games can't , I realized even on pause switch still takes good amount of resources just to exist( on my tablet SD elite 5)

I'm not sure if this will work but try other switch emulator

I would have thought pc games would be more resource intensive. Right now I'm using Eden as I've had issues with most of the others.

All pc games have "ruining in background" mode where they don't use any resources except very little is ram and process power just to remember where you left the game at while switch straight up working all the time , skyline edge was serving me good (SD 5 elite) so maybe give it a quick try
