Exactly!
A common refutation of the simulation hypothesis is that the computer would have to be impossibly large.
Not so. As long as the host universe has different physical laws. For instance, simulating Minecraft using Minecraft redstone logic itself would probably take an impossibly large "computer". Yet, we can do that easily, as we have nanoscale transistors.
Similarly, add just one more dimension to the host universe and you could build amazing machines (imagine instead of a 3D circuit board, a 4D, with all the extra arrangements it could provide). The host universe could be even crazier than this, with a whole different set of physical laws.
Unless we find a sandbox vulnerability, we'll probably never know.
