If u wanna play switch games use melonX you need to sideload it for jit to get better performance and atleast 8gb of ram is required since most games i tried with my ip12 pm (6gb) at the very least took like 4-5 gb of ram for ps2 games i went for armsx2 also needed to sideload for jit but currently its really easy doesnt even need a computer or jailbreaking

Sideloading is the best way to get the best emulators or else your restricted to GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, 3DS, NES, SNES, N64, GC, PS1, PSP, PS2. But with sideloading you can emulate PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, and many more.
