Homebrew Discussion Egg NS, a Switch emulator for Android devices

[LeyendaV]

Do we have testimonies and footage from real people actually using it instead of some random stuff uploaded by the devs?

ETA prime confirmed it's real.

Hopefully someone will figure out a way to crack their controller DRM. I have a Switch, but it's too big for true portable gaming. Having a phone sized handheld would be perfect.

How big is a switch? I always thought it's close to modern phones size. My current phone is 6.6 inch and Its not very comfortable to hold it with one hand but obviously when I'm gaming I do it in landscape mode so I use both hands and barely feel the weight and it's easier to control with touch controls. Would still prefer to play stuff like game boy, DS and maybe even 3DS and Switch with one hand in portrait mode like in my older 5 inch phone

its harder to compare device sizes using screen diagonals these days when the Switch has gigantic bezels and phones are nothing but screen now.

 

[brapfarmer]

Does look kinda sexy with the thin bezels

This is a pic comparing the Switch to an iPhone 7. It's just so much bigger overall.

This uses stolen code from yuzu for the GPU emulation, you can clearly see yuzu strings etc one you decrypt the shared object (I dumped from memory)

What exactly are the "etc" things you found?

I'm not exactly calling BS on this, but code compiled for x86 would in no way resemble code compiled for an Arm processor. Strings are also typically optimized out, unless they are used. A quick look through the video_core code doesn't turn up any strings that would be embedded in the app.

Shaders, error messages, savedata path strings, etc are all there

ETA PRIME isn't necessarily a great YouTuber to talk to about the theft of source code and intellectual property...he reviews clone retro consoles that he gets sent for free just to make a video about them and post to YT to make that money. Prime example is his PowKiddy RGB10 review saying it's the best handheld of 2020 - it uses stolen schematics and hardware layouts from HardKernel's Odroid Go Advance, steals their SPI firmware outright, and then uses EmuELEC as it's operating system even though the developer of EmuELEC has outright stated that he has never given permission for anybody but HardKernel to run his software on any devices and that any other company using his code is stealing it. I love my OGA very much, but you can spot shills a mile away in this review community especially when topics like this are posted by him.

I didn't say he does care about theft of source code and intellectual property. But it is a real product if he says it is ( stolen code or not )

Switch is not comfortable on my hands in portable mode ( i only use it on tv and tabletop mode ). As for the size it has a 16:9 vs tall 19:6 aspect ratio so you need a least a 8 inch tall phone for it to match in height.
Another example is note 20 ultra with 6.90 19:3 screen so you need a lot more inches for it to match switch screen height.

I'm sorry, I wasn't meaning that negatively towards you...it was meant as a warning and I apologize if that's the way it sounded. He's steered many people astray with several of his videos and some of his content is just nothing but filler in order to get more views and YouTube revenue so I take his videos now with a grain of salt. Again though, my apologies.

Not as big as you would think. Here is it compared to my old LG G6 5.7in diagonal and my POCO F2 Pro's 6.67 in screen.

The switch is bigger but just barely.

I ordered one last night, and the shipping says it's coming USPS from LA. I guess this means USPS is awaiting them item from China?

 

[ben nahalewski]

I bought the controller out of interest.

How much did you pay?

 

[fvig2001]

Based on the compatibility list, is it possible that it's a port of any of the existing Switch emulators? Why didn't they show off any 3D game? I mean they claim Let's Go Pokemon is great or even Bloodstained ROTN (supposedly perfect but that game is kind of slow and choppy).

I got reviewer unit and tried some games I own, but most 3D games didn't boot including BotW, DQXI, FE TH and Atelier Ryza.
Pokemon sword and Xenoblade 2 works good, though.

Now they told me to unpublish the review for now lol

are you just saying that so you can have everyone pay to play a emulator?
