Its called Lakka, a minimal linux distro that runs Retroarch. There's a thread titled that in this forum. Its currently set up for handheld only, and you have to use bluetooth for sound, but has full proper OpenGL support and a few more JITs available since its 32-bit. Dolphin core is included that can sort-of run gamecube and wii games.

I hear Sony is working hand and hand with hackers to make PS5 both as a standalone console and to allow PS5 games to work on the Switch via homebrew.
I heard PS5 games are already available for switch homebrew.

@OP, did you get your switch to boot? You left my discord for some reason, just because it died in RCM doesn't mean it's broken, this is the 2nd one now so you should really listen to me lol, and it can/will be fixed.

You should probably tag him, like so @McRedstoneYT

Gamecube and Wii will come eventually but priorities are getting the "basics" working such as Nintendo 64 dynarec and better Lakka implementation on Switch. For now, go play some old games, there's some great stuff already working on Switch.

Oh, and Wii U emulation on Switch won't happen. The Switch is not near as powerful to run Wii U games on playable speeds emulated.

    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.

    Pi4 and Batocera works with them perfectly too
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd like to see future tap to pair options like you hold it over a scanner and it just automatically pairs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No need for additional cords buttons or anything
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hmmm yeah that is possible BT has an address like an IP

    Scan a QR code on your phone open a page with the controller and a QR code for the device, hit go and done
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    One less latency issue for radio frequency
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or even wifi pair opening just an app to sign is nice
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it could be hosted on the phone hmmm it's an idea Ken
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    But could be bad for people with lower speeds but how many mbs would it really need to detect a button press
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Nearly nothing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Most of it BT used
