Homebrew N64 Dynarec Coming soon to Switch/Horizon

[lolboy]

Is it released yet?



(Just kidding )

I mean with the dynarec, with overclock it was a graphical mess

Dynarec won't fix that. It's a recompiler that has a massive speed increase for the emulator (depending on the hardware, time taken to make the recompiler and the emulator you're using).

Its... actually just settings.
Dynarec won't fix it, but you can finally enable those settings without going full snail!

Great news. I wonder if it be worth eventually buying a switch for the n64 emulation in case it turns out good or the nintendo wii u might have good enough n64 emulation.

if your lucky enough to find a hackable switch

Well not anymore. Ipatched switches can join in on the fun now

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

As long as the switch is in the firmwares between 4.1.0 and 6.1.0 you can enjoy homebrew access.

(when the hack gets released of course)

it's been silent for quite some time, Happy to hear that there's still progress being made.
Having all the background work done sounds like you still have a bit to go but like the most works has been done That is good news.
Good luck and thanks for your effort

The "fix" can be as simple as forcing 32bit address space.
I couldn't confirm yet that this is the specific issue, there are just odd call's (bl's) generated on HOS, could be some ptr flipping.
Basically can't find it w/o a debugger, so I will attempt a custom loader sysmodule (yes that's faster for me to confirm my hypothesis). If it is - simple fix, if not, I have a potential issue B which concerns libnx linker layout (section types, permissions, etc).

But enough for today

Dolphin has a dynarec already, nothing to be gained.

Ahh. Ok. However, I am still waiting for Dolphin to be on Switch.

Gonna be a long wait i think

As long as they are working on it. Thats ok.

Then you are half a year late.
It runs on lakka 64bit since a long time now :snail:
Horizon is not expected to run significant faster, also there is fundamential stuff (std::thread, std::mutex etc) still missing from devkitA64

No. Not half a year late. I just got a Switch last month as jailbreak since I stored it in the room for about a year and I am caught up with it. So I didn't know about that.

What you've been given is the Android version. As discussed before, there's more work needed to release a switch version.

Lakka had dynarec support for a while now.
