Whats even more interesting IMHO is that according to TFA the most popular platform in terms of usage is Android. This is probably related to the large amount of dedicated Android gaming devices like the Ayn Thor and similar.
... and the fact that (at least so far) android devices haven't 3x'ed in price due to AI bubbling.
And to add insult to injury: take a galaxy s23 ultra. Start a gamecube title. Connect USB-C to a monitor, display, TV, project: you get an image (and with a bluetooth gamepad it works from a distance). USB-C to HDMI converter? Also works! Going to a friend's house? Use a display at work? Just works!
Take either of Nintendo's 2 most recent hardware platforms: it doesn't effin work! Despite this being a major complaint on the previous hardware ...

Assuming this is the Switch and Switch 2 here, are you specifically talking about Gamecube titles? Because I've recorded video from my Switch over a USB-C->HDMI->USB-C dongle chain (Zelda:TOTK)
My mistake, it was the Switch 2. Using JINGDU "Switch HDMI cable"[0] feeding into a UGREEN capture dongle[1] which then fed into my MacBook for capture.
(Super handy when you want a bigger screen on the train or wherever.)
This is true for all Nintendo emulators afaik. I’m semi-involved in the Eden discord (the community successor fork of yuzu) and over half their users are on Android. I for one don’t get the appeal of emulating games on a phone but maybe I’m just old fashioned.
Most of my emulation game time is outside the house, 90% (got a miyoo mini plus for when I'm in a que) is done on Android and none of it is on a phone :) Just the idea of touchscreen gaming is giving me RSI pain.

Which dongle are you using? Is there a nintendo one that works?

I can't imagine playing those in anything other than a big panel (maybe with an NTSC filter), on the couch, dim lights.
Maybe I'm just getting old.

Honest Answer: You can play it on the Bus.
