Mine is due to arrive this week.
Has anyone tried to create an account on the EggNS app?
I get an error message when requesting a verification code - others are having the same issue.
 
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.

[EDIT]
Now they told me to unpublish the review for now lol

That's wild that Xenoblade works
 
The verification code is dummy (don't know why they put it), you can type any alphabet
I tried just a few random numbers before I read your post and it appeared to work. Seems like you can type anything in.
Thank you anyway.
I am hoping that my Mate 20 Pro will be able to play at least some of the 2D games. I guess it will struggle with 3D.
 
Paid 75 after tax.

Pay $63 for just pokemon and xenoblade? Not worth it

It seems you're missing the part about having a USB C controller that you can use on Retroarch, PPSSPP etc that's cheaper than the Kishi, and better designed.

This was reply for CrisFTW's "pay to play a emulator?". Yes, the gamepad itself is good for other emulators, but it's overpriced if you only want to use EGG NS.
 
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.

My redmi note 9 pro is like your poco, if only I didn't had the notch like you :P Too similar to switch size

Its so good to see the Pokemon games run so well with this egg ns, my main focus and concern are games of this franchise, everything except the switch and Wii U games can be played already on the go with a phone. Don't know if those Sega Pico Pokemon games nobody knows about run yet in any emulator though. Oh and there's hey you Pikachu for n64 which needs a microphone and this ain't emulated yet

Someone has any tipps on getting that controller to work on bigger devices like my Galaxy Tab s7 with SD 865+ ?
I want to buy this controller, but only if we can mod it somhow to support bigger devices :(
 
I would steer clear of this. All of the shared libraries being used are completely obfuscated and are not easily disassembled using traditional debugging tools. This is a pretty big red flag. If you choose to use it, I would recommend you do it on a device you don't use as your daily driver and don't have any personal information on. Just my 2¢.

More likely because they're stolen code than because they're malicious code, but you're right, caution is good.

ETA Prime's preliminary video on this emulator came out. Obviously it works an dthe controler is solid enough (bit overpriced) but overall there are rough edges as you would expect from a first time emulator.

Yeah this has been out for a while.

He doesn't show any gameplay at all.

i noticed lol. I just started following up on this and it was the first video to come up. i did find stuff like this from techutopia woth gameplay but calling it unstable is generous. so much crashing



At least Pokemon sorta works

Someone needs to figure out how to make this work with the razer kishi gamepad. I'm not buying that gamesir controller. Those clicking noises on the triggers are too loud it sounds like loud mouse clicks,, no dpad and deadzones on third party controllers are trash.

Egg ns on razer kishi would be perfect since i can pop in my oneplus 8 pro with a case into the controller by removing the rubber inside.

It looks like there's been progress on the Emulator too. Multiple games run real good(even mario odyssey is proper playable now) but only on a few snapdragon 865 phones for now. Video is of the oneplus 8 pro 8gb ram variant so the 12gb ram should run a lot better and 16gb ram phones should run silky smooth.

Surprisingly enough Pokemon Let's Go runs with 20 fps in battles and 12 in the world on Snapdragon 7xx series but the low RAM is a problem. Maybe after lots of optimization and in a proper emulator I will get 30 fps on my 720G phone with Pokemon, the main thing I'm interested in from Switch. Everything else which runs good will be a bonus obviously but even if it won't be enough then I can always upgrade to a faster 7xx chip like the upcoming 5nm 735G or to 8xx chip
 
I bought this and it works ok, considering I'm using a Oneplus 6t with a snapdragon 845. Some games are below 25fps and are not playable, but others are above 30fps and very playable. As time goes by im sure they will push updates that will help with performance. Btw the controller feels really nice and you can use it with other games. I also have dolphin emulator, and the Wii game run great. I also only paid 70$
