How We Test & Score Each Emulator

Every emulator is benchmarked on real hardware using popular 3D games and productivity apps. Gaming Speed measures real frame rates (FPS), frame drops, and input responsiveness under heavy load. Stability measures crash-free operation, memory efficiency over long multi-hour gaming sessions, and ease of multi-instance management on Windows.
