Emulation on the MSI Claw (is Actually Pretty Good)

While PC gaming performance is still a work-in-progress on the MSI Claw, emulation is surprisingly more mature and consistent on this handheld. Let’s test all the major systems to see how they fare on the latest handheld PC to hit the market.

Note that all testing was done with the latest Intel ARC v5379 drivers.
