Emulation Notes
Per the DROIX review, emulation performance on the ONEXFLY is excellent:
- All emulators up to PS1 and Dreamcast era work at lower TDPs, with rendering resolution scaling available.
- PlayStation 3 (RPCS3) runs very well for many games.
- Yuzu and Ryujinx (Switch) run very well on most games, with occasional dips that don’t significantly impact the experience.
- The DROIX review specifically notes: “Yuzu and Ryujinx emulator on Payday 3 runs great on the ONEXPLAYER ONEXFLY.”
