Every home console we cover, from current generation back to retro favorites.
Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo's next-gen hybrid console. Setup guides, dock-mode tweaks, and game-specific performance tips for first-party launches.
PlayStation 5
Sony's flagship home console family — covers the launch PS5, the current PS5 Slim revision (1 TB, detachable disc drive), and the PS5 Pro mid-generation refresh (more GPU, dedicated AI for PSSR upscaling, full Pro Enhanced game support). All three SKUs run the same PS5 game library and the same DualSense controller.
PlayStation 3
Sony's 2006 seventh-generation home console (2006-2013 production run, 87.4M units sold), the first to ship with a Blu-ray drive and the Cell Broadband Engine processor. Cell's SPU-heavy architecture was famously difficult to program for — and notoriously hard to emulate. RPCS3, the open-source PS3 emulator, reached the 0.0.42 milestone in 2026-07 (ARM64 SVE2 SPU optimizations, RPCN online trophy sync) and now runs roughly 75% of the ~4000 known PS3 titles at Playable status or better on Apple Silicon, ARM Windows, and standard x86 PCs.
Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo's 2001 home console, home to Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, and the best F-Zero game ever made. Mature modding scene (Carby HDMI, Picoboot) and excellent Dolphin emulator support make it the most reliable retro Nintendo console to set up in 2026.
