Hacking A hacked switch has the potential to DESTROY psp.

I'm not your search engine.

Not being able to maintain 30 fps on your system seller is pretty bad. But fanboy away, you Nintendo and Apple fanboys can enjoy your crap hardware as far as I care.

*looks back at PS4's and PS4 Pro's launch*



Anyway, maintaining a 30fps OPEN WORLD game that uses a rather complicated physics engine that affects practically everything including every blade of grass can take a huge toll on the hardware itself. It's impressive that it can maintain above 20fps when surrounded by so many tall grass moving about and bending towards the gust of wind and Link running on top of them all at once and having trees in the background as well as other stuff being shown clearly while keeping things as seemless as possible. And these things only happen in SPECIFIC AREAS with a lot of stuff going on. Most of the time, it's 30fps and plays great.

And the problems that are shown about any console in general are only rare occurences, anyway. So things like dead pixels, can't read disc, etc. only happen to a small amount of people. And it also depends on how well you take care of the console.

Hell it can run ps2 and gcn. Of course provided a ps2 emulator gets working. With enough work I have no doubt they can run full speed ps2. Gcn has already been pretty much confirmed for virtual console AND it was running pretty much perfectly using the nvidia shield, so the switch will have no problems running these emulators provided devs put enough work into them.

Portable Sega Saturn and then you get back to me ok?

citation needed! - lol i'm kidding. but is dolphin confirmed to run "flawlessly" on shield?

Also vc gc is still a rumor. until proven otherwise.




oh? I thought you were being a snarky bastard. - my mistake. moving on! lol


this is guaranteed. as nintendo will most likely make their own emulator. or reuse the code from the wii one.

the wii wasn't hardware emulation was it? I don't think so. not sure.

Didn't realize I already posted lol. But yes there's an article somewhere, testing dolphin emulation on the nvidia shield and it runs practically perfectly. Also when asked about gcn virtual console, Nintendo couldn't confirm anything but they stated they're "going in that direction" or some wording like that.


Also nothing against you but please don't ask for a source- it's easily google-able. I'm trying hard not to do stuff like that for others. It feels like babying them.

Sega Saturn is a real beeotch to emulate on PC, you can thank Sega for having N64-like documentation.

Eh. Piracy is piracy. No matter the situation.

I'm not saying either is okay or not. I'm just saying retro emulation piracy is typically viewed as being not as bad as pirating current stuff

I'm just saying, Saturn has a lot of good games, it's just a shame that emulating it is a nightmare >< Sorry...

Those can emulate the N64/PSP without hassle.

Ew Android

sooooo were you around when the psp was booming or nah?

Was anyone around when the PSP was booming?

for portable emulation.

I mean,
nvidia gpu.
many different controller adaptions/configurations.
awesome pick up and go of the switch. adapted to emulators alike!!!! would be so cool.

nuff said. this thing will probably run n64/psx. without even trying. and it will all be super easy to port too. if the information gathered is to be correct anyway.


in a perfect world i'd love for homebrew and emulators to come out. but for once, for developers to unitedly say: "fuck pirates!" and not make any backup loaders whatsoever. But I know that's just wishful thinking. I just really want Nintendo to Succeed with the Switch. I love this system.


And modded with emulators... this thing will be SO MUCH FUN.

Frankly I already find what a hacked 3DS to be capable of as more exciting than what a hacked PSP is capable of.

You sure about the PS2? It doesn't run well on the Nvidia Shield and AFAIK it's similar hardware? If PS2 and GCN run on this thing that'll be absolutely incredible tho.

It's apparently easier to emulate according to what I've read. It's a lot less powerful than the GCN. However, I'm sure the Switch's architecture will play its part in how well it could run, but I can easily see it happening.

PS2 is still a nightmare in some ways, all the VUs (vector units), etc, and the Gamecube, well, Dolphin can boot every single GCN game in existence.

or... you could get a $250 honor 6x phone, and run all the emulators you want. we have bluetooth controllers.

Retroarch has pretty much nailed it now.

wait, the shield can run gcn games? i am literally selling my console on ebay right now! dolphin will actually run on it?

Don't know how they managed, but yeah. Think so! Try finding the article! It could've just been using the exact specifications.

 

[MarioMasta64]

Any links to reference this? I can't find any info on this at all :/

what scarlet said but the first did happen. just not as bad as nintendos 4.3 update

 

[rickwj324]

I was around when the N64 was booming.
I was around when the SNES was booming.

So yeh, I was around.

I got ya beat.... my first system was PONG in the 70's!! Shortly after that was the Atari 2600. Been a game fan ever since.
