The Citra emulator plays your favourite dual screen games fairly well. We are first trying Sonic Generations. It doesn&#8217;t run great at 20W, and bumping it up to 28 does not make much of a difference, with frame rates around the mid 40\u2019s to 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Citra Emulator on AYA NEO Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3592\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Citra-Emulator.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Citra Emulator on AYA NEO Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying a less demanding game does however make a massive difference. Cave Story+ runs great at 15 Watts and you should have no issues at all. For this console system it mainly depends on what game you&#8217;re playing for how it performs on the AYA NEO Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PlayStation 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On to the PlayStation 3 now. It&#8217;s another emulator that is in active development, and the performance and compatibility can change between releases. Skate 3 actually runs fairly well considering. I was getting between 20 and 30 frames per second depending on the scene in the game. Changing the TDP did not seem to make a massive difference in performance for this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation 3 emulation on AYA NEO Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3593\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-PlayStation-3-Emulator.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>PlayStation 3 emulation on AYA NEO Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, on DuckTales Remastered, the game plays flawlessly at 60 frames per second on 11 Watts. So it&#8217;s a system where it does depend on the game and how compatible it is for its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xbox 360<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Up next is the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia. Again this is in active development and compatibility can change between releases. First we are trying Sonic Transformed on 20W and are getting around 20 frames per second.  Increasing the TDP to 28 Watts gets us in the area of 25 frames per second. It&#8217;s pretty good considering the console and the stage of the emulator&#8217;s development. For more basic games you should get a more playable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Xbox 360 emulation on AYA NEO Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3594\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Xbox-360-Emulator.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Xbox 360 emulation on AYA NEO Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RyuJinx Emulator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We finish off with a few games on the RyuJinx emulator. Starting with Crusin\u2019 Blast which is a fairly new game. On 20W TDP we are getting anything from 20 to 45 frames per second. I think the shader caches are still generated on the fly when first playing a game. If so then you can expect future plays to be a bit smoother. Raising the TDP to 28W improves the frame rate to more in the 50\u2019s area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"RyuJinx emulator on AYA NEO Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3595\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-RyuJinx-Emulator.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>RyuJinx emulator on AYA NEO Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonic Mania plays well at 20W with very minor dips now and again. At 28W it plays very well and you should have no issues at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Sonic Mania\" class=\"wp-image-3596\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Sonic-Mania.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Sonic Mania<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And to finish up, we take a quick look at Wonder Boy The Dragons Trap. I am playing this on 11 Watts and there&#8217;s some minor frame drops. You can bump the TDP up to 15 and it plays just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the RyuJinx emulator, like many that are in active development, it will depend on what game you are playing and how well it performs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emulator Test Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/AYANEO-2021-PRO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aya Neo Pro<\/a> is very good for emulation in my opinion. It can play many systems up to the more recent ones including some games on current generation handhelds.\u00a0 I am more of a <a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/RETRO-GAMING-CONSOLE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">retro gaming console<\/a> fan than modern consoles, so the AYA NEO Pro is more than capable of playing everything up to the PlayStation and Dreamcast era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"PPSSPP emulator running on AYA NEO Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3597\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AYA-NEO-2021-Pro-Tekken-6.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>PPSSPP emulator running on AYA NEO Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the more modern systems you can definitely spend some time tweaking the console&#8217;s emulators for things such as internal resolution, frame skipping and so on to squeeze a few more FPS out of the emulators if you wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That wraps up our look at a bunch of emulators on the AYA NEO Pro, we hope you have found it interesting.
