    DS emulators can be a bit awkward. Not only is there this issue, but unless you’ve got a portrait oriented monitor it’s always gonna be an imperfect fit with the two “screens” stacked on top of each other.

      If you’ve got a desk arm it’s pretty easy to go portrait and back, which was a great experience oddly. Although, I often just go window mode stacked because Pokemon White and DQ9 are grindy multitasker games.

      The bigger issue is the touch screen; that is when the tablet or phone works better and even then… Input lag can ruin your day.

    It did often feel like Nintendo specifically went for weird and quirky hardware to hinder emulation. The Wii had motion controls, the Wii U existed, and well, with the Switch, I’m sure their first-party titles still make use of things you can specifically do with the JoyCons…

      I feel like that’s just them trying to make their consoles stand out in the market rather than hinder emulation specifically
