tbf, the Steam Deck's hardware blows the Switch away so of course they play better

That doesn't mean much when it comes to emulation tbh. If the emulator is shit, power won't help.

Yeah but you just compared 3rd party emulators to hardware. Switch isn't running Switch games on emulator, but it's still not surprisingl that an emulator on Steam Deck plays them better.

The Switch is ARM (nvidia tegra x1) while the Deck is x86 (amd zen2?). There's translation involved.
