Since it's emulation, I wonder if it'll have any additional input lag over the originals.

If it's on Switch 1 it's definitely not emulation. Switch 1 CPU is no where near powerful enough for PS3 emulation. Neither is Switch 2.

RPCS3 basically needs at least a Ryzen 3700x for a good time.

Then how did they program it to run on the Switch? I'm almost a scholar when it comes to video game industry knowledge, but on the tech side, I'm not even in kindergarten. Basically, I'm as ignorant to how these games run as someone who's never even picked up a controller. And my understanding as to why games from prior gens can run on newer hardware is mostly due to the emulation process. NSO, for instance, is so laggy because the Switch has to emulate the original systems they ran on, so I figured that's what's going on here. After all, MGS4 ran on a PS3, not a Switch. Wouldn't that mean the Switch has to emulate the PS3's architecture?
