New to Bigbox and laptops 

Acer Nitro 5  i7-11800h, 16Gb,GeForce 3050Ti,win 11

when on shore power no issues. The second I unplug,  games are unplayable. EXCEPT Ps1 which runs fine haha but older games nes snes genesis are unplayable. 
The hell am I doing wrong?

This is however one of the downfalls of using a laptop like that, it requires a lot of power, they should really be thought of as a desktop that can be easily moved rather than something that will run off of battery's. PS1 is probably using your GPU, while other platforms use only the CPU, so maybe the CPU is being clocked down when on battery power, there may be options for power usage on battery in the bios, if Acer chose to expose it that is, a lot of manufacturers lock that down though unfortunately.
