I've never played that game, but there's been some recent talk about it from the producer http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/donrt_expect_a_skies_of_arcadia_port_or_sequel_anytime_soon
Yes, I saw that a day or two ago. Easily the most disappointing thing I've seen all month. Most likely all year. :( I'd gladly pay $50 for a SoA port on the Switch. Possibly even $60 (though, at $60, I'd probably wait until the holidays, when my work gives me 25% off...)?

On the bright side, there's a "native" port of Linux for the Switch, using Vulcan and full hardware acceleration. Many games play at near full-speed in Dolphin! SoA on Dolphin through Linux is acceptable. If I didn't have a busy week this week, I'd probably try it out tomorrow. Maybe next week, when I have more time.

Yea I looked all day for a version of Lakka to download. They seem to have taken down the links for download, and I'm on their patreon.

I'm guessing it's being worked on in preparation for release, possibly tied in with the L4T release a few weeks ago? Natinusala's Twitter indicates as much, as of about 15ish hours ago :)

Edit: That site points to a domain that redirects to a suspended page, at ctcaer . com

what is the difference between this retroarch & the one we already have on normal switch cfw like atmo as it can also play psp,n64,psx & play videos too!!!

Normal switch CFW(Horizon) will never run any demanding emulation with the same performance as Lakka
Their will be some N64 titles that don't run perfectly that will in Lakka
Gamecube Emulation will always be superior
Dreamcast Emulation will awlays be superior
PSP Emulation will always be superior

Horizon will pretty much run any 32 bit consoles and below(<SNES) with negligible difference. Otherwise Lakka and Ubuntu just offer better performance

This looks awesome! We are getting bombarded with amazing stuff for the switch right now.

It's good to be a switch owner. My ps4 Pro 5.05 is sleeping waiting for better times.
