Though the Nintendo Switch isn't even two years old yet, there are already two major Switch emulators currently available to use: Yuzu, and Ryujinx. The former, Yuzu, recently received an updated nightly version on October 31st, which was the culmination of the team's efforts to improve compatibility with more Switch games--specifically one of the system's most known exclusives: Super Mario Odyssey. As of the newer builds, those who emulate Odyssey through Yuzu and have a beefy enough computer can fully play through the entire game from beginning to end. This marks a major milestone for this emulator, which only just had its first games even booting a mere seven months ago, showing rapid progress in its development. However, despite the game being "fully playable", there are a few bugs to iron out, such as slowdown in certain areas, and the existence of multiple graphical issues, but for players determined enough, it is entirely possible to have a full experience.

OMG

I heard about that, that's really awesome

This reminds me of the old GBA days. I played Pokemon Ruby on an emulator years before I ever got my hands on a GBA for the first time.

At this rate we're gonna be able to play Pokemon 2019 on this emulator - and some little kid may have the same experience I did.

This was my experience as well. Played Goldensun and Pokemon Ruby in VBA before i got a physical GBA. Ahhhh those were the days

Can Yuzu also emulate RetroArch PsX/N64 full speed?

 

[Noctosphere]

ok... what about the fps?
is it decent?
if so, what are the specs it was tested on?

It is fully playable but the GFX is almost PERFECT!

From Youtube tester:

My PC Specs: i7 8700k @5.0Ghz 16gb DDR4 3200Mhz RAM GTX980ti 6gb 256gb NVME M.2 SSD

The FPS is between 33-45 and sometimes up to 55.

mmh mmh, thanks
but, is CPU used that much? because mine is very outdated (2nd gen)
RAM I'm fine
As for GPU, I guess I'm fine with GTX 1060 6GB, right?

I don't know. Perhaps. You can try and test it if you can. It will be helpful. This emulator developer say :

yuzu currently requires a OpenGL 4.3 capable GPU and a CPU that has high single core performance. It also requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM.

alrigyht thanks
Last question, was YUZU updated to play SMO?
Or was it more global update so we are very close to play all games?

 

[spotanjo3]

I wonder if it is running .xci file or .nsp file or both ? Hmm.

alrigyht thanks

Was: https://yuzu-emu.org/screenshots/

And now it is playable.. Maybe some games are improvement a lot after SMO right now.

Some little kid definitely won't play with this emulator. Setting it up requires you to hack your switch, dump your NAND and other stuff.

I'm downloading SMO right now from a site that says "High speed download"
but I'm stuck below 400kbps so it will take time xd

Well I doubt some little kids have strong enough computers for this

it supports homebrew so I would assume so but why would anyone ever do this when you could just use a standalone emulator

Because that's fun !

 

[Noctosphere]

Because that's fun !

I don't really see the fun in running an emulator inside another emulator
all it will do is lower performance if I guess right...

Except Ninty is making it hard as fuck to download roms on the internet

I hear ya man. I even finished most gba games by the time the nintendo DS appeared and forced me to change my computer.

Good times indeed
