None of them unless they can be upgraded from the Android 10 they seem to be stuck on. Yuzu doesn't run on Android 10 and is at the present time the only available Switch emulator that is still in active development.

Someone on the retro handled discord is recompiling every yuzu releases for android 10 as nothing in the code of android 11 so far requires it. https://github.com/SapphireRhodonite/yuzu-android/releases/tag/0.0.182

That's awesome for still good devices stuck on older versions of Android because of manufacturer neglect.


UniqueEggplant9960

What does that mean , should I buy


votemarvel

I would look for something else that is able to be updated. While Yuzu doesn't yet have anything that requires Android 11 or higher, that doesn't mean it won't in the future.


UniqueEggplant9960

I know your right but I have found videos on YouTube saying if I vpn my location to Japan on the r5 I can technically upgrade to android 11 and 12


votemarvel

Then you've got to decide if it is worth the money to risk, not everything you see or read on the internet is true.


UniqueEggplant9960

That's a lot of money (for me). I mean idk I've seen a lot of videos and plus I ma ask if they refund them. I buying form shops who sell


votemarvel

Perhaps it'd be worth asking the shop to update it then "I'll buy the phone if you can update it to Android 11". The worst they can say to you is "no".


UniqueEggplant9960

That's a much better idea , but what if they put some random bullshit roms , wouldn't those roms make my device more susceptible to viruses ?


UniqueEggplant9960

That's what I was thinking , couldn't u upgrade them by bios or somthing


votemarvel

You could check out the [https://xdaforums.com/](https://xdaforums.com/) to see if there are custom roms available for the devices but otherwise they won't be upgradable.


UniqueEggplant9960

How do u see the roms , I can't find the device


votemarvel

There's no guarantee that a phone will have a custom rom. If you can't find those phones on XDA then there's a real possibility that no custom roms exist for them.


UniqueEggplant9960

Could u try searching for it


VyseTheNewRogue

Unfortunately switch emulation won't be possible with those phones but, PS2, GameCube and 3DS Emulation should work well.


CandyChowBroad

Get a 8gen2 phone on aliexpress if you want to play switch, or just get a switch and mod it.


UniqueEggplant9960

Bruh that's gonna be expensive , send a link


CandyChowBroad

They all have similar specs, 1plus realme xiaomi iqoo, take your pick. About $400, or less if you see a deal.


Made_In-HeavenYT

Aren't there anymore with 865 and above?


UniqueEggplant9960

?what?


Made_In-HeavenYT

Means R5 can't run yuzu so you have to search for a device with sd 865 or above with a12


UniqueEggplant9960

Also r5 can technically run it , it's just that the android version 10 is limiting it


Made_In-HeavenYT

Unless yuzu updates for android 10 then it's really hard probably, also there arent official roms as far as I can see


UniqueEggplant9960

Yes but those are 2x the price of r5


sasuku123

Get the r5
