This works so good for a first release! Got to play GTA for over a hour now, really awesome. To bad the casino functions are disabled through Geforce now. Looking forward to the updates.

[Edit] This is through Geforce Now, so without my desktop. Haven't tried Moonlight yet.

Is this loading GTA from your steam account for does the shield have a native gta port like it does half life 2 and borderlands 2? I kinda want to play gta again but i dont want to buy it again Bout it twice already lol (PS3/PS4)

Sorry i'm super noob to Switch Hacking, can I launch Android from SXOS? If not, can I boot Hekate from a SD without installing it? Thanks

How do you currently launch your CFW? If you use the SX Pro, you can get the SX Gear boot.dat, flash the Android image to a new SD card, then copy that boot.dat to the first partition along with the hekate payload, change the name of that payload to "payload.bin" and use the SX Pro to boot it.

This was via the Social Club one. So you'll either need that or on Steam. Which costs like 10 bucks these days i think

Too add to this, just note that using Android gives you the perks of the games that are playable on it. I got Metal Gear Rising Revengeance up and running last night, which i couldnt do on L4T

Yes it's true. I'll use L4T or Android for kodi.

this guy has borderlands 2 working but he hasnt said how thats even possible. He is using a bought version from the play store as far as I can tell. I have bought it too but still its not verifying..if anyone speaks Russian maybe they can translate something on his video.

Got my Shadow working on my switch. Now I can die (after gaming countless hours).

So can i use android, and if i want to use atmosphere just put the sd with atmosphere in and boot atmosphere
Just a matter of switching mem cards?

Risteing · Jul 30, 2019

I just want to know if it is possible to run the Wii games from china on the Switch. I really wanna play some Super Mario Galaxy.

Goffrier · Jul 30, 2019

yes, you just have to power off and sent the payload however you do it normally when switching sd's

I don't remember how lakka performance was with Dolphin when I tested it, so I can't compare. But I had Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Double Dash, and Melee(PAL) more or less playable. I even pushed 720 internal on some of them with minimal stutter after a minor emulated CPU clock (75%?). If they can get openGL working it'd probably be even better since right now it's vulkan only. Tying to use the joycons is still a mess. Some light Wii games might work but I think we're all starting to learn the hard way that 2GHZ really isn't enough CPU overhead for Dolphin. Hope this helps.

Yeah I tried running Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for the gamecube on dolphin but it had audio stutters and only got up to 40fps

I haven't tried that game. People have reported good frame rates (I think?), so I would see their reports. Check your settings and make sure you're using the mmj build and the highest clock setting. Also underclock the emulated CPU until you have steady audio (at least for a baseline) Some people are running PAL roms or 30fps cheats as well.
