Homebrew yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator discussion

[ShadowOne333]

What's with people and full speed nowadays?
Can't you see that emulation takes time especially an emulator of a console that is less than a year old? Name me one emulator that runs full speed a year or two(not more than 2 years) after the console's release?

Spoiled brats, dude. Don't even pay attention to them.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, I'm just glad that they are working hard on this emulator(visit their Discord for some development stuff). But hey, why would I need to play an emulator when I will get a Switch soon. Emulator for now only runs Homebrew and no sign for commercial games.

We've been spoiled by Cemu

But due to clock speed limitations i don't expect the xboxone or ps4 to get emulated full speed for a very long time.

Well, except they run on an x86 processor, so really what you'd need is an interpreter/compatibility layer for OS functions. You wouldn't have to emulate hardware.

I'm not saying they'll pop up any time soon, or that it'd be easy, but the minimum hardware requirements for a theoretical PS4/XBoner emulator would be a lot lower than people seem to make it out to be

i still don't get why the wii u emulator runs better then the 3ds emulator.

Because the devs get like $10,000 a month to develop it. Money is a hell of an incentive

 

[mancasoko]

Well with Wii U almost dead, that money will go to Switch emu developing so I think Switch emulation will be more successful because even in first year switch has so many great games then Wii U from beginning and now.

Uh...

What??

Nice, Yuzu runs RetroArch http://wololo.net/2018/01/23/emuception-nintendo-switch-emulator-yuzu-now-runs-sonic-3-1fps/
Don't expect anything fast on early stage, just seeing it runs something without crashing is already an improvement

 

[MK73DS]

Is there any advantage to download the source code and compile Yuzu rather than the canary builds directly ?

The canary builds should be compiled by a buildbot, so I wouldn't think so

But Cemu is being payed. So they can develop 8 hours a day more or less.

[   9.086233] Service.FS <Critical> core/hle/service/filesystem/fsp_srv.cpp:OpenDataStorageByCurrentProcess:112: no file system interface available!

How difficult is it to implement a file system for Yuzu ? (Because, in my opinion, this is quite an important feature)

 

[nop90]

@bunnei : just tried the graphic example of libnx with latest canary build and it crashes. Probably gfx services called by libnx are not implemented yet. Can you confirm?

Please let me know if it should work and I'm doing something wrong, because I'm starting dodevelop some project with libnx (yes I know it's in early stage) and having something to test simple HB would be great.

I have already to test a CHIP-8 emulator with the invader rom harcoded

Waiting more inprovements, a great thank you to the team.

 

[nop90]

Well, seems that also an empty while(1); program crashes the emulator. I suppose Yuzu isn't ready for libnx (or maybe my toolchain is brocken).

 

[MK73DS]

Because the Swich has an Nvidia GPU, will it run better on Nvidia GPUs, espacially not high-end ones ? (Like a GT-920M)

I know that Yuzu is far from being able to use the GPU to render 3D scenes, but still I want to know !

I do think that Yuzu is running only 1 core like Citra for now. But meh. They're still developing afaik. I do believe that Yuzu/Citra Devs need more assistance for RE the Switch so that they could like double the progress like slight optimization or .nro support.

I'm pretty sure this GPU is even worse that the switch tegra...
