Homebrew Question Game & watch on nintendo switch?

[onofrix]

I saw it, it´s excelent, but....I´ can´t find roms in that format, some games are missing, and some options form better visual/performance on emulation too, still, is awesome!

in their official site there is a pack with all the games supported by the switch version. You just need to download it and move it to the sd.

this is what I´m talking about

I am happy to have this game emulated on my sm G&W. Still, for dual screen games the switch would be a nice option.

Not sure what level is difficult for you. First step is to unlock the mcu with a SWD programmer, eg from nukleo dev board or rpi.
Next is to backup the internal/external memory and to patch the original FW. Smashstack and Tim made nice tools. You will also need to convert the roms before you can upload them. As the original flash is only 1MB, it also make sense to replace it with a larger one. I used 16MB as I only care for LCD emulation, which gives much more available meomory than I will ever need. All Tiger/Konami/Nintendo LCD games together are below 16MB A good start is to join stacksmashs discord server.

hi there i have just gone through the process of putting android on my switch and it's all up and running but can someone PLEASE tell me how you're running mame game & watch at full speed and detail the steps required to do so ? i'm so far running retroarch and it's running incredibly slowly, maybe I have the settings wrong i'm not sure. any and all help much appreciated ! i have all the mame files (222 and all the games and art) but it's just running terribly

Yes, I got it running on my switch but as I mentioned only using Switchroot (android). AFAIK there is no MAME core (the main one, not the MAME_2003, MAME_2003 plus, etc) for retroarch using HOS.
All games are running perfect, even using the artwork. Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda look amazing on the switch screen.

hello mate i don't suppose you could upload your files someplace or explain how you did this ? i'm having a nightmare with it and i'd just like to get the stuff working properly. i have the games running on retroarch with mame but the sound is bad and the games are slow and very low resolution and still have problems

Can you detail/clarify your progress/result to get it to work under Switchroot, please ?

 

[Funkyspectrum]

indeed, as I installed using switchroot and the performance is terrible. I got the systems running, but the performance is incredibly poor, sound is awful and they're basically unplayable.

i would love to get an answer to this but it doesn't seem like it's forthcoming, sadly can't figure out any other way to get the game & watch stuff running on switch which is a real shame as it's perfect for them

well it looks like he/she has been online and hasn't answered my message and hasn't replied to this, so I'm not sure what to make of this, really. no-one else has stepped in to say this is possible, or that they've got this working with any degree of success. i just wish they would reply but it seems like that reply is not going to be forthcoming. i would like to think they didn't just say they'd done it when they hadn't, and hopefully they will come and provide a full tutorial to tell lunkheads like myself how to do it properly ! i installed android on my switch and guddled around with it a lot based on this person saying that it was possible to run these titles perfectly and, since then, i've not managed to do so to any extent whatsoever so it's very disappointing for me
