Emulator hangs?

I can't play an emulator smoothly on my laptop. Not even an old Ds emulator with eg Pokemon Platinum. It even works on my s7. How can something run smoothly on a cell phone but not on a Windows 10 laptop?

Since the cell phone probably has better hardware than the laptop.

How is that possible?

Can probably be due to the programming of the emulator, Android and Windows are two pairs of shoes and Windows uses cross-references, system routines and the hardware completely different from Linux, Apple's OSX. If the app, that is, the Androidemu, has also been ported by an Android developer for Windows, this can lead to problems.

Jerky graphics, general crashes, sound problems, driver incompatibilities and much more.

Even if Windows has implemented a Linux VM, it still depends on which Linux distribution it is based on.

Distributions would be, for example, Ubuntu, Lime, Linux Mint, and a lot of others, after the Linux source code is open source and Linux, developers even recommend the source code to adapt to your needs, the number of different systems is infinite, Android is also based on a customization Linux systems.

Can have several reasons. What kind of hardware is built into your laptop?

Maybe you should first clarify which emulator is used on which device.

The "Drastic" emulator for Android devices is programmed very close to hardware and does not have to emulate ARM6 commands. These are carried out directly by the processor of the smartphone.

For x86 / amd64 compatible processors, DeSmumE must also emulate the ARM commands. This takes a lot of computing effort.
