Oh shit, there's a working open source switch emulator out there? Thanks Nintendo!

Aaaaaaaand downloaded the source code, Windows Installer, and Linux installer. Thanks again Nintendo, I really can't express how thankful I am you brought attention to this!

Wanna hear something funny? It works on steam deck

[–] [email protected] 70 points 9 months ago (3 children)

And not just works. It works REALLY WELL. I dumped my switch onto my steam deck and sold it ages ago.

Yup. Steam Deck is literally the Switch 2.0 at this point. Upscaled graphics, better frame rates, modding capability, etc…

I wouldn't say that's a universal truth. Some games perform like shit on Yuzu and others that simply aren't stable. Yuzu is pretty damn good, but I've run into plenty of situations where graphics have lots of glitches, I'm crashing every 20-30 minutes due to a memory leak, etc. E.g. SMTV is one I recently opted to just play on my Switch natively because I got tired of random freezes after battles.

Forgot to mention: controls that don't suck

You can mod on switch, modding isn’t an advantage

That’s why Nintenfux is suing. They have no other way to be competitive in mobile gaming now.

Can you pair 4 joycons to it too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

It works on Switch as well if you install linux then install it. But performance makes that not worth it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

There are two that work pretty well. Yuzu and Ryujinx. A while ago some games only worked on one or the other. Thanks to open source they both improved dramatically.

Same yo. I would have never found it, now I'm downloading a game.

Any good torrent sites for switch games you know of?
