The emulators. Sorry for the snarky answer but thats pretty much it. Its own titles arent the best.

I would only use it for emulation. My laptop does a great job at that anyways.

Can it emulate ps2/gc?

I doubt it can do PS2 / GC. There may be emulators out there but id be shocked if they run at even close to full Speed. Some N64 titles stress it out a bit too much ( Castlevania comes to mind ). Its mostly a pre-3d emulation station as far as Im concerned.

I expect PPSSPP (PSP) and Drastic DS Emulator (DS) is the best you cant expect. That being said, they're both amazing pieces of software and a boon for anyone, who owns a tablet like the first Nexus 7 or better.

And honestly, a 7" tablet is in some ways a better DS than a DS is.

Edit: Just for the record:

Depending on where you live, emulation can be anything from completely legal to somewhat complicated to a legally convoluted mess.

Basically: Owning the system and game might not technically be enough.

I saw these on Amazon's lightning deals earlier for $10 off. They'd sold 1% of them.

PSP and the original XBox are better when it comes to emulation and both are must own systems especially for how little they cost. I just don't see the point in the OUYA
