Core Ultra 7 155H or Ultra 5 135H · Meteor Lake Arc

Switch 2 emulation on the MSI Claw A1M

MSI's first Claw uses Meteor Lake (Core Ultra Series 1) with Xe-LPG Arc graphics and 16 GB of shared memory. Nobody has reported it yet.

What we know

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H or Core Ultra 5 135H (Meteor Lake)
GPU: Intel Arc (Xe-LPG): 8 Xe-cores on the 155H, 7 on the 135H (Meteor Lake Arc page)
Memory: 16 GB LPDDR5-6400, shared by CPU and GPU
Power: 28 W base for the Core Ultra 7 155H; MSI's modes set the device limit
Screen and battery: 7-inch 1920×1080 at 120 Hz; 53 Wh
OS: Windows 11

From Intel, AMD and device makers' published specs. Power limits vary with model, firmware and mode.

Not tuned for this device: it's the setup from the tested Arc 140T laptop. Change one thing at a time and report what helps.

Power
Plug in and pick the device's highest performance mode. Put the mode and wattage in your report.
Driver
Use a current Intel graphics driver. Our Arc 140T numbers use 32.0.101.9175; report your exact version.
Global-memory routing
Add EDEN_NX2_GM=11 to nx2_switches.txt next to the emulator, or set it as an environment variable. It is the change behind the measured Arc 140T gain. If a game renders wrongly, remove it first and tell us.
Frame generation
In the graphics settings, turn on Enable Frame Generation and set Target Frame Rate to 60. Add EDEN_NX2_EXTRAPOLATE=1 for extrapolated frames (motion data is wired up for Ocarina of Time only). Report game fps, not the total with generated frames.
Shaders
The first visit to an area hitches while shaders compile. Judge smoothness on the second pass.

With 16 GB of RAM on Windows, enlarge the page file. Upstream Lichii found that a small page file can make shader builds fail in Ocarina of Time on 16 GB machines (see the AMD notes).

One report turns this page from a guess into data. Include:

Device, CPU, GPU and RAM
The full graphics driver version (on Intel, like 32.0.101.9175; on Linux, the Mesa version) and the OS
Plugged in or on battery, and the power mode or wattage
The emulator build, every setting you changed and every EDEN_NX2_* switch you set (or "none")
The game and the exact spot, docked or handheld mode, and a screenshot of the scene
Average fps and, if you can, p50 and p99 frame times, measured after the scene settled

Never attach keys, firmware, game files, saves, shader caches, or logs that show your user name or folder paths.

It's untested. It has the oldest Intel GPU on this list (Meteor Lake Arc) and 16 GB of shared memory. Send a report if you try it.
