> nevermind that though, any modern laptop or pc should be able to handle nintendo ds games on an emulator

Laptops in general are prone to overheating which leads to lower performance. Mine has an i7-8750H CPU and it can't play many Nintendo DS games. RetroArch and its A/V synchronization contribute to the CPU load as well.

Perhaps a small form factor PC would be best suited for this purpose.

Fair point. I do keep my clunker on a cooling stand, so I didn't notice. OpenEMU running a nds did drain crazy battery though.

My best experience was a gba emulator on android. I played through 2 castlevania games throughout my commutes last year.
