No randomizer support for a single one of the Zelda games in this string of decomps and ports lately. I would love to play this natively on switch, but I've beat these games too many times to just play them normally.

It looks like "kirby-letsgo" copied thibautbus' Github, from the other day, without giving credit. Even has the same platforms (android, windows, mac, linux).

https://github.com/thibautbus/top

thibautbus: "Enhanced: a widescreen view with the neighbouring rooms"

kirby-letsgo: "Widescreen (16:9) — see the rooms around you"

Odd..
 
I can't get decent framerate (huge slowdown) with both widescreen and LCD filter enable on my Switch Lite, even sys-clk.

Shame because the whole point (for me at least) is to play widescreen those games...Sharp filter work with but aren't true to how Gameboy should like, i always still prefer LCD look.
 
Using any setting for screen other than "Sharp" tanks performance hard. I'm talking needing a huge CPU overclock levels of tanking it. Otherwise it works great from my testing.
