Hacking Suggestion [Tutorial] How to play Mario Bros on 4.0.0+ (and add your HTML5 games here!)

[Deleted-442439]

Most of you already know that we can play HTML5 games in the browser applet using SwitchBruDNS.

There are HTML5/JS NES / SNES emulators that run in browser, but I have not been able to get them running yet.

For now however I have found a port of Mario Bros to HTML5, and figured we should make a thread with a collection of games that are playable!

What we can do: The joycon D-pad buttons registers as a gamepad in HTML5 so if the game controls with only the D-PAD or touch it should work fine on Switch. Sound is not supported and the framerate can be terrible in some games.

HTML 5 Mario link: http://supermarioemulator.com/mario.php (go here on Switch)

Also check out: https://lord-123.github.io/Switch-tools/ he will be adding more HTML5 games designed to work on Switch, if you have developed a game you want him to add you should contact him.

Add any games you know about so those of us stuck on 4.X+ can enjoy something while we wait...

EDIT: I am taking requests for HTML5 games so if you want a game ported let me know!

I'm on 4.1 using the switchbru DNS, but none of the games are loading. just sits on a black screen

It works for me, you just need to wait sometimes, but should never take more than 30sec to load unless your internet is terrible.

works for me aswell. Mario basically loaded instantly, even though it runs at like 25% speed (I beat the first level though).


Theoretically we could have a NES/SNES/GB, etc. emulator if AB(XY) would be one the right as touch controls, correct? Man, even though it probably wont happen, that would be pretty cool

Works a treat for me, not got around to trying any other games on that site though

I'll report back once I do

Edit:

Others that work that I have tested

Seems like majority of the games at this site work http://html5games.com/

I tested around 10-15 of them and had no issues, the games are not amazing by any standard but it does give us another level of gameplay using the SwitchBruDNS trick

If we change the dns to 45.55.142.122,
Will it prompt us to update our system firmware?

Also will we be able to login to Nintendo id(just to check previous playtime) in 4.1.0?

 

[naed06]

Mine hasn't prompted an update whilst using this DNS and testing all those games (and I played them for ages)

Not sure about logging into Nintendo id though

Thanks for the update, I will proceed to connect to this DNS and we’ll see how it goes. For now I’ll stay out of trying to login to Nintendo account then.

The real question is: Do RPGMaker MV games run in HTML5 on the Switch ... (they do on 'normal' PC browsers)

THIS would be a massive possibility for game devs !!!


Here you can try it: https://ministerjay.itch.io/sliq-the-slime-hunter

(I have only a 3.0.0 .. so yeah .. pl0x test this for me <3)

Wow that's really nice. But why can't you play it on your 3.0.0 Switch? Does 4.1 have a better HTML5 support or what?

This is also pretty cool:

Play Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island online. Guess there's only demos though.

Also could anyone please check out playing @gamee games on Telegram? I hadn't any success with that.
To check that out, head to web.telegram.org on your Switch and use @gamee to start one of the Telegram games.

 

[Shrike]

Actually I have no idea... I just assumed you need 4.0+ to use HTML5...

...

I actually never started the hidden browser because I'm kind of afraid that I will update my switch by accident .. I only use the PegaSwitch DNS

EDIT: Btw .. did the RPGMaker MV game run ??

 

[lordelan]

If that's the case I'll use my buddy's Switch to check that out once we meet again (which will be the next week).

doesnt work, says some audio api is not supported.

The demo games seem to work, at least Monkey island (tested that one) does, but with quite a lot of constant slowdown. Not really fun to play, but possible.

Telegram took forever to log in, after 5 minutes I closed it.

That's the same issue I had on my 3.0.0 Switch. Which FW are you on?
Thanks for testing. Using Telegram on the Switch would be really fantastic.

I hope we will get a browser to support that sometime in the future (CFW?) ... :/

RPGmaker does not work, but I have made several games in Construct 2 that work flawlessly, if you don't know programming it is a great place to start, extremely easy and fast tool to use. You can use the browser in 3.0.0 I believe though, so you can give it a try.

I will also be taking requests for porting games, so let me know what you guys want

Sounds achievable xD Now I am off to rip off all the assets from Pokemon Red.... More realistic would be a recreation of SNES / NES platformer games that don't require thousands of variables to be kept track of lol

For Pokemon this works, but it is a work in progress: http://www.berttimmermans.com/game/?utm_content=buffer73407
