Androidas title says, What's the best for OS for Emulation? Is it Lakka or Android? or are they both the same?
i am trying to emulate N64,PSP,PS1,Dreamcast,SNES,NES, Sega Genesis,GB,GBC,and GBA.
can you recommend Emulators for Android for some of the platforms i listed?Android
X86 can't run on switchX86. I emulate everything android cannot with a small HTPC. Or can android run SOTC (PS2) upscaled?

As shadowone said best OS is Android.
*N64- Standalone Mupen64plus FZ (easily better than the alternative options)
*Dreamcast- Redream (best option again is android)
*PS1- Duckstation (again is best on android)
*PSP- PPSSPP (android runs brilliantly, but ubuntu will get a few more fps for the hardest to run games, 98% of the library runs full speed)
Snes, Nes, Sega etc….. Use Android Retroarch.
For Those systems Retroarch offers more customisation. You can add shaders & make games look pretty amazing. For example the scaleFX folder options make snes games look HD without producing artifacts.
I suggest using the less cpu demanding cores, especially for portable. Bsnes for example will require 1.5ghz of CPU around. Its more accurate than snes 9x requires more than double the CPU to run. Gameplay wise you wont tell a difference most of the time.
@Basketto is right.
If you want standalone instead of Retroarch. You can do that with pSNES and pNES. Great emulators too. And for Sega Genesis standalone, there isn't yet.
Flycast is a standalone for Dreamcast. You gotta try it if you like Sega Dreamcast.
pFBA is a multisystem emulator. It does like 12 systems. It does have Sega Genesis emulator in it so try it too.
Some Linux or FreeBSD Based OSas title says, What's the best for OS for Emulation? Is it Lakka or Android? or are they both the same?

Android is not exactly lightweight. Lakka would for sure have better performance.i kind of want to use Retroarch in Android, im wondering how it compares to Lakka.
regardless of what people say lakka, android, and ubuntu have similar performance. the only real advantage android has is drastic for DS gamesi kind of want to use Retroarch in Android, im wondering how it compares to Lakka.

Also DamonPS2...regardless of what people say lakka, android, and ubuntu have similar performance. the only real advantage android has is drastic for DS games
wondering, isn't the overhead bigger in android compared to lakka/linux?
I would imagine that the performence and input lag might be worse on android.
Also DamonPS2...
From someone that uses all 3, performance is definately better for 64, ps1, Dreamcast, NDS in android(Gamecube/Wii is on par with the others if you have OC patches, some games even run better with the MMJ version than is possible on the others).
Idk about overhead, but if thats the case they are definately better optimised in android. Since switchroot 10, no noticable input lag.
Literally the only thing that really trumps android in terms of performance is Citra for 3ds emulation, Horizon for once takes the cake.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
well realistically PS2 emulation is pretty unbearable on the switch, regardless of what you use.
You get a few more fps than play! In lakka , but it doesnt say much because 1/1000 games is considered playable .
I played through khii with mostly ~25 fps, so...
Lakka handles those with ease... And with vulcan support and stuff psp games like GoW now run at fullspeed without 30fps hacks in lakka.From someone that uses all 3, performance is definately better for 64, ps1, Dreamcast, NDS in android(Gamecube/Wii is on par with the others if you have OC patches, some games even run better with the MMJ version than is possible on the others).
