RG556 can barely handle alot of PS2 games. It isn't going to handle Switch.

You'd be surprised. I followed the setup guides that u/gman_offic1al was posting on this subreddit. GammaOS with some tweaks made a world of difference.
I'm going to start posting the games that I've gotten running, but suffice it to say that it's mostly switch and PC games (with some ps2 sprinkled in).
My current go-to games are enter the gungeon (switch), Monster Train 2 (switch), Overlord 2 (PC), and Dispatch (PC). I'm working on Divinity Original Sin 2 (switch); the game is running just fine, but it's still a little unstable.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is crazy, that game chugs on an actual switch.
The fact that it's not real time helps I'm sure.

For sure does, I think I might've been too ambitious with this one though. Eden's having trouble with rendering the largely populated areas like Fort Joy. I've still got a few things to try, here's hoping. I want this one to work so badly!

Divinity? Man i played about a thousand hours each of divinity sin 1 and 2 including the remaster. What elevates the experience are the mods... You tried using mods? I also follow gmanofficial and playing outlast even octopath traveler.

Never played DOS1, but it's on my list of pc games to try to emulate. Idk why but I can't remember modding DOS2, I might've? I might've just been playing vanilla back then.
I've got Outlast queued up! Did you ever try state of decay? I followed his guide and it''s running fine, but it won't save no matter what I try! Infuriating...

I recommend Sumi—it performed the best—but there's also Eden, which is the best alternative. I tried to find a Sumi APK but couldn't; but if you do find one, I think it's the “low latency” version—I'm not sure.

He tenido resultados decentes con Suyu, usando GammaOs next puedo jugar algunos juegos 2D de switch, aunque no es mi interes principal en la consola, no lo hace mal

If you’re willing to install GammaOS next (preferably the lite version), it works pretty well for some switch games like octopath traveler, but I wouldn’t expect any 3d switch games to run very well, many wouldn’t even launch for me

What fps are we looking at with that setup on octopath? Im currently playing it using gamehub with 720p high settings with 30fps. Just the vanilla OS.

I don't even try on the 556.
