Thanks to the rise in PC ARM CPUs (Apple Silicone and Snapdragon X), emulating the Switch (also ARM based CPUs) has become extremely easy and efficient. My windows PC needs 180W to emulate Mario Kart 8 at ~60fps while my MacBook Air M2 only needs 15W for better results.
My phone can emulate switch with less than 5W, although it's not perfect in every game
please share, what's your phone specs? what emulator? is there a guide or tutorial?
Well I'm not sure at the moment.
I have a phone with a snapdragon 8 gen 3, you need to find the proper drivers for it (I use Mesa Turnip Driver V24.2.0 - Revision 19).
Super Mario Odyssey runs perfectly with it, but Tears of the Kingdom ran at 3 fps in the intro sequence. I saw somebody run it at around 30 but haven't figured that out yet.
Yuzu used to be available on Android, but that got DMCA'd, so I used the fork Suyu, but that also got DMCA'd a few days ago. Skyline is still available I think, but not sure if that's still being updated
