  • GPD XD+ Wii: Nintendo Wii: Only the easiest to emulate games are barely playable "Some Wii games can be approached at playable or fullspeed FPS. Its really game specific, and even worse, this isn't using its built in OS. I used Lineage (not available publicly), not Cleanrom or its built in OS. Not to mention I underclock and sometimes use special Gecko/Action Replay codes from romhacking communities to rise the FPS even more" - pat277
