A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Xenia is your only real option for 360 titles. You'd be right in assuming that it just doesn't work on mobile devices, and you'd need relatively strong hardware to run certain games well. But, such is the will of emulation, some titles run flawlessly, and others just suck. Your millage may vary so I'd recommend you try it for yourself and see how it goes. It's a bit unfortunate that Xenia isn't treated like some other emulators like Yuzu or Ryujinx for Switch which get consistent public updates.
I have an older but decently specced gaming laptop. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
If it doesn't work out, I want to mention that an Xbox Series S is a pretty damn good budget emulation machine. $20 gets you developer access, through which you can install Retroarch (for most consoles before the 360) and Xenia (for 360 titles). It also has the benefit of officially having several Xbox and Xbox 360 titles on the store, many of which are enhanced for the newer hardware, but Xenia can handle delisted or licensed titles.
Unfortunately, no PS3 emulation on there though.
