Guess I need to write a FAQ

Conker's won't work, right?

Not yet.
it doesn't run with the dynarec on other platforms too, so this will probably get fixed when we work on the optimized dynarec, after getting the horizon implementation down.

Didn't know that, thanks
GJ for all this amazing work you guys are doing

Anyway to get the emulation to pause when you press the home button? Testing with Mario Kart 64 and the race continues when looking at the dashboard.

Press start? Or retroarch menu

This is the only officially supported way to run the dynarec.
We don't even support our own NSP for that matter.

TX OS can use it by holding R when loading a application too, right? That's a recent addition.

It's not officially supported. If you use it then you are on your own.

Oh dang

We try to stick to stuff that's predictable.

I'd like to use Retroarch on my Switch, but it's still not banned, I never ran any homebrew, just XCIs and online updating games.

the second you modified your switch puts you at risk for a ban don't think you wont get caught

I know, but it is still not banned yet, and my friend who did the same things as I did is banned, the only difference is that he used homebrew once.

I don't wanna lose the ability to update games automatically.

So what exactly are you asking? As arianadark said: The moment you modify your Switch, you risk ban. Scared of ban? Don't do it - simple as that. But that's enough of OT.

Thanks to m4xw for the great job! Gonna try it as soon as I get home

The same here, but I have already used homebrew. Not banned yet since ... a very long time!. The point is - I think - to use XCI files with legal cert. and not NPS files. Never had installed a NSP. I love to the option to update my games online, too.

But it's off topic.

Try RetroArch (and N64 dynarec)!

I have two sd cards, one with xcis like you, only going online to update games and firmware. And another sd card with emunand and never goes online which I use for homebrew and nsp's, as no logs are shared between the two (due to emunand not touching my sysnand) homebrew is quite safe on the emunand sd card

@m4xw This is great! And it works well in a lot of games.
Only issues I have atm is Framebuffer emulation is still slow, And there is a slowdown everytime you do something for the first time.
Are there any plans on looking at these issues? This is a Beta so I understand that there is a lot still to be done.

But these specific issues, Do you think it's possible to get them sorted out?

 

[Reecey]

Can this be setup without retro arch? if so how do you set your sd card thanks I would like to try this
