thank you! is there any list or something where we can see the optimal settings per game?
No because development has been so rapid a compatibility list could be obsoleted a week later. Once development slows then there could be value in that. Until then you're going to have people complaining about outdated lists.

It is normal for the zelda MM with the HD textures to suffer slowdown in 1080p but the zelda OOT does not?
Yes. MM is best played in 720p

Is this still your preferred method? And are you pointing the forwarder channel directly at the retroarch nro, or loading the homebrew menu then retroarch?

I am loading the homebrew menu first and then retroarch. With the latest atmosphere update this is not needed anymore as you can just load any game title and hold R for a homebrew menu with enough RAM. :)

Now that libnx finally got an updated release, hopefully we're getting closer to having the mupen nightly builds be up to date with the svc patch stuff etc, so people aren't always asking where to get it?

Excellent work. Will this be updated to run N64 game mods one day. I'm mostly asking about WWF No Mercy mods. Those mods use Project64 as the emulator. Is there a way to convert a Project64 save file and cheat file to work with the switch version of Retroarch? Also is there a way to load a MPK? I have been googling information about this but haven't been able to find anything useful.

Any way to get Majora running well? On the latest Atmosphere, 7.0.1, mupen next, running from an nsp on main menu holding R, I turned frame buffer emulation to true, but game runs super slow.

It's fullspeed without Framebuffer Emulation but unfortunately some of the game requires it to be enabled. You can fiddle with the other FBemu settings to improve the performance a bit though.

Yeah I had been starting it with frame buffer emulation set to false but that resulted in a black screen. So the only way it’ll even start for me is setting it to true. I’m guessing I don’t have something else right haha.

You can just press start a couple times while you're at that black screen and you can continue.

Should I use the settings on page 26? I’m asking because I don’t know if there are better settings for the latest releases.

Didn't realize that. Thanks man!
No problem. You should be fine playing with Framebuffer Emulation disabled until you get to Snowhead and receive the Lens of Truth (although cutscenes before this will also be bugged). After that you'll need to enable it because the Lens of Truth needs it to work. I'm sure if you fiddle around with the other settings and add some type of overclock you can get it to run near fullspeed.

Nice. Okay good deal! What about OoT? It's pretty much playable, but I have weird graphical glitches on the equipment menu and when I pause the game, it will generate like the last static background to appear {Links house, store, etc). Not a big deal, just didn't know if I had missed something. Any way to get around these?

You'll also need Framebuffer Emulation for the Lens of Truth in OoT, but luckily that comes much later in the game than in Majora's Mask. As far as the pause menu being buggy, I'm not sure if there's a fix. Maybe someone else can comment.
