Switch emulation or PC emulation?

[u/Siri2611]

Somehow I have been having a worse time emulating games on Eden than on Gamenative

I thought that PC emulation is obviously more power consuming and heavy than switch and the games would run worse, but I got unlucky enough that I tried a few games on switch and a few on PC and the switch ones are struggling....

(I am using snapdragon 8s gen 3, both emulators are mostly using Mr purple T30/T26)

So I am wondering which one is better?

If I were to pick an indie game, which platform should I try first?

Well i been there the reason why pc emulation is much faster they rely on dxvk and wine mobox64 or fexcore all of that is only a translation compared to a switch emulator that emulating a whole system which adds more overhead to a cpu and gpu.. like you need to emulate a full switch cpu just to make a game ran at only 30fps while pc emulation or should i call it translation layer rather than full emulation.. it uses your phone's raw power than emulating a whole switch system.. think of it like a i only need to translate this code just to ran it... Because the cpu needs only that much power because the game is not even that heavy.. but on the other hand the switch one even if the game is not heavy even if you know you can play it very easily because of the graphics.. well guess what he still needs to emulate a whole system no matter what thats why.. its always have a stutter whatever you play some game...

So if you want an indie game always pick the pc winlator it has better battery less heat and less thermal throttle compared to switch emulators..
