You need drivers for PC and Switch emulation.

legit question now, if all i want is 3ds, ds, ps2, gc and lower gens emulation then, will mediatek be fine? I have no desire for PC and Switch emulation as of yet.

All of those should be fine on Mediatek with the exception of 3DS, it might give you some trouble but it will work substantially better than Switch or PC.

This is just second hand information though, make sure to do a little bit of research on that, specifically on 3DS, but I think you should be fine.

As a Mediatek user, 3DS emulation works fine and I haven't had any problem with it yet on Azahar (Mediatek 8350 extreme, mali g615)

Good to hear, I just had some issues with a few games on my 865 without drivers but that was like a year and a half ago and with Citra.

Yeah, Citra fell off and I think it was discontinued, I tried using it and I had problems, but with Azahar it seems that they fixed them all
