ps1 even the wii could run that and im sure the switch could run ps2 seeing its hardware from over 16 years ago

Hardware isn't as much as a limitation but more so the programming side of it. Usually hardware has to make up for some aspects of it.

PS1 definitely.
PS2 probably possible, but would take a lot of work. Same way N64 is possible on 3DS, but there's no one with both the skill, patience, and tolerance for hate speech to make it happen.
PS3 lol no, you high? PS3 is more powerful than the Switch

Dont underestimate the power of my hibrid fav console!

Just do not take this seriously, I just want to dream.
PS2 could happen. The thing is, I don't think there's a decent PS2 emulator for ARM platforms yet. There is the Android one but from what I heard it's very slow. A lot of optimizations would be needed to get it running as well as or better than Dolphin does on high end phones.
That might be something we'll see towards the end of the Switch's lifecycle (or earlier but at unplayable speeds)

CAN you back that up? I'm just curious not trying to sound like a dick just interested that's all

Just compare the specs or look at any of the teardowns online, or even just compare performance of games like Skyrim, it's all been very well documented at this point.

There is, it's called Play!, but it's pretty slow at the moment. Like, 15 fps on the best Android devices (SD835).

Could we run a PS3 emulator at 1fps?
Yes, that's why I find these topics as literally worded stupid, all Turing machines (roughly meaning anything with a CPU) can do the work of any other Turing machine, given enough time and memory (possibly in the form of swapping to SD)
Although 1 FPM is more realistic :)

Anything is possible if you believe in yourself.

You're right on the PS1 and PS2, but the rest is pure BS that you're pulling out of your ass. There's no way in hell that the N64 will run on the 3DS. Maybe horribly, terribly optimized, terrible framerate, etc. It can hardly handle SNES games at their full potential, without frame dropping lol. FUCK no, dude. Are YOU high?! And PS3 is NOT MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SWITCH.

Bruh. Stop. Don't comment on somehting you don't know anything about.

Still not true. I hate when people say this. It's a blatant lie.

1 and 2, probably. 3, nah.

And the naysayers for 2 are not smart.
It's highly probable.

Nope, PS2 is not impossible, but not very likely either.

Just check out some videos of PCSX2 on the GPD Win.
The GPD Win has roughly the same power as an undocked Switch.
The Win can barely run PS2 games on a 10 year old emulator.

Do you really think the Switch will run PS2 easily? Even on Android, there is no playable PS2 emu.

Ps1 possibly
PS2 possible but very slow
PS3 not a fecking chance
Don't make assumptions about the PS2. It could work (at least with some games, if not all with the correct optimization) at full speed.


Getting REEEEEAAAL tired of these clueless people making assumptions, spreading BS around the forums.


For real, guys. STOP.

You're really not understanding how things work... You can't compare the Win to the Switch in this respect, mate. You're like those people who are like, "3DS is as strong as gamecube right? Because look how they both look. Graph1cczzz!"


Your chance to provide a correction to the to-best-of-my-knowledge fact you don't agree on, then
Not really. Super tired right now, but that's blatant bullshit. Anyone with ANY understanding of this stuff would know that. You just tossed your credibility FARRRR out the window.
