What will be the latest Console Emulator working on Switch?

NES up to N64 will work fine on the switch.
But do you guys think a 3DS,Gamecube,Wii and the Wii U Emulator will work on the Switch?
What is possible with the Switch?

Gamecube: I'm not sure but apparently Nintendo will get virtual console on it so....
3DS: not sure, may be slow, but doable
Wii: I THINK (checking the hardware -> maybe)
Wii U: Not sure (checking the hardware -> maybe)

(correct me if I'm wrong)

witht he hardware, Switch would be MORE than capable of running 3DS via emulator. The GCN is way storenger than the 3DS - the Nvidia sheild could emulate gcn well, and so the switch could do it very well, with the 'nintendo magic'. And if GCN can be emulated, 3DS sure as hell can.

it's a 2014 tablet, pretty sure it will not do 3ds
NDS maybe but i wouldn't count on it

Whatever. The 3DS needs far more resources than the GC to be emulated.

3DS, never.
Wii U, never.
Wii, never.
GC, perhaps.

Wii should be fairly doable, at least for most games. It's just an overclocked GCN, put in laymen's terms.

Wii U could easily emulate DS. DS isn't very hard to emulate.


Hloly shiit, these people don't know anything about this stuff. Crhist.

There is a slight chance Nintendo may add GC or 3DS VC and we hijack that, other than that I really don't see anything more powerful than dreamcast being emulated.

That means literally nothing. Oh my god...

That's like saying Daedalus on my PSP runs worse than SNES on my Laptop.
What? It's a known fact that 3DS is very hard to emulate. It currently even needs more resources than emulating Wii U. If I test two emulators on the same PC that means nothing? Please.

what do you even mean by "resources"? I'm convinced you don't even know what you're talking about in ANY respect. That makes zero sense.

The 3DS should be LEAGUES easier to emulate than the Wii U. Just because the Wii U emulator on the PC could (havent tried it) run better than the 3DS one on the PC means aboslutley NOTHING. Different teams working on it, different levels of "work done", etc.


You sound ridiculously dumb right now with your assumptions. You don't know anything about this stuff, please don't post again. It'll just mislead others. with misinformation.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
