Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers for the Nintendo Switch
Practically everything seems to work. Consider using either 708x400 or 800x450 resolution (or higher if GL).
Performance (approx at 1785Mhz, usually mid to upper end):
Tutorial: 20-60fps
Grand Prix/8 player races: 25-60fps. Very map dependent.
Bonus/special stages: 35-60 fps.
Solo races: 40-60 fps. Most tracks at 60
Please OC the CPU to the max while playing and consider turning down graphics (render distance, skybox).
Legacy GL is not very stable, especially with multiple racers. Consider using software only. The PC version apparently has a memory leak, but here it seems very problematic.
Thanks to heyjoeway and carstene1ns for their work on SRB2/kart, which was referenced for this port. (In particular online and addons, I wouldn't have found heyjoeway's workaround/fix)
