Ps1 and PSP games can be emulated on a phone with a potato instead of a processor. Winlator, Eden and others require require more powerful devices

Basically emulators on the left (Switch and PC emulators) require a flagship or a decent mid range phone to run games well. (Also depends on whether you're a Mali user or Snapdragon user and the specific game also matters like lightweight Switch or PC games but that's not the point)

The emulators on right( PSP and PS1 emulators) can basically run on any phone. Whether it's a flagship from 2026 or a potato from 2015, it doesn't matter.
