    Homebrew Question Mario 64 port?

    Removing the overhead of an emulator is always a good thing. I haven't tested to know for sure but I'd assume battery life would be improved playing this version over Mupen. That, and I've never been able to get the widescreen and 60 fps patches to work in Mupen (not the emulator option, but...

    PEGI re-rates Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2, but for release on the PlayStation 3

    They did port LA Noire to Switch probably to test the waters. Certainly it shouldn't be representative of GTA sales though, and past GTA sales on Nintendo consoles shouldn't represent the Switch consumer base. Though it's probably still safe to assume Nintendo leans toward the younger crowd...

    Nintendo states that they're looking to set the standard for the next generation of game controllers

    Well, even back then my first instinct was to hold the controller by the sides. They even put instructions for how to hold it in the manual. But yeah many don't realize that most N64 games didn't use the d-pad or L button or just made them do the same thing as the C buttons and R. There are...

    ROM Hack Question pokemon lets go Ipega and procontroller support mods

    Well I don't really care what controller I use, as long as the Switch can be fooled into thinking it's being played in handheld so I can just aim and press A to throw a pokeball. Though the Pro Controller would be the most comfortable option.

    ROM Hack Question pokemon lets go Ipega and procontroller support mods

    Are these controllers recognized as a Pro Controller on Switch or are they recognized as Joy-cons? If it's recognized as a Pro Controller then you're pretty much waiting with the rest of us for a solution since Let's Go only uses Joy-cons. hid-mitm may eventually be able to map other...

    Homebrew Discussion Play! PS2 Emulator is running on the Nintendo Switch!

    Video was working a few minutes after I made the post I think you're referencing. Just didn't realise gles compatibility had to be added as a makefile add_definition. But yeah it'd be cool if this brought more attention to Play, even if it's slow right now. Sadly I've seen people confuse it...

    Homebrew Discussion Play! PS2 Emulator is running on the Nintendo Switch!

    Has anyone done a PR for this yet? I have some changes that I planned on submitting tonight but if it's already done that saves me some time. More or less just adding an aarch64 Unix target to the makefiles and OpenGlDef.h along with the changes I mentioned in the GitHub issue. I found Devil...

    Tutorial L4T Ubuntu Applcation Install guides.

    Try this command before running the executable: export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0 It worked for OpenMW at least.

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu - A fully featured linux on your switch

    As far as I know it wouldn't be worth trying since it'd need a recompiler for ARM which isn't supported. Though I've got Play! to compile and run by replacing glew with gles in the includes in OpenGLDef.h (due to an issue with qt and glew) and commenting out a couple IOS specific lines when...

    Tutorial L4T Ubuntu Applcation Install guides.

    Does anyone else's Dolphin UI run really slow? The games run fine but when trying to remap my controls it's hit or miss whether clicking the remap button for each button will work. I was able to use the serverless bluetooth mouse/keyboard app on Google Play without installing anything to the...

    Hacking L4T Ubuntu - A fully featured linux on your switch

    Not gonna lie, I kinda want to try using the right joy-con and some Wii sensor bars for rudimentary 6DOF head-tracking with Labo VR.

    Unfortunately there are no ARM64 builds of Steam and afaik it doesn't load with hangover or Box86.

    Tutorial L4T Ubuntu Applcation Install guides.

    Here's a guide for OpenMW taken from their wiki aside from a small workaround: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openmw/openmw sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openmw openmw-launcher sudo apt-get install openmw-cs Run openmw-wizard (just type it in a terminal, it's included in the install)...

    Latest version of bsnes emulator allows for "HD" Mode 7 upscaling

    I think the point isn't really to upscale the textures, when those textures were plastered on a screen at an angle the pixels were mapped noticeably uneven on the low resolution screen. The Zelda world map is a good example as they all line up better...

    Homebrew Question VR Support for Homebrew?

    vbjin-ovr looks pretty great on my DK2, let alone my Vive. I think a virtual boy emulator would be perfect for this, no joke.

    Best Buy database leak lists Metroid Prime Trilogy, Persona 5, and A Link to the Past for the Switch

    This is the same company that released a SNES rom on a DVD for Mario All-Stars. Could just as easily be a mistake though. But wouldn't it be crazy if Link's Awakening was just an appetizer for a full LttP remake.

    Homebrew Question Super Mario 64 not playing so good

    Personally I like to use a widescreen patch whenever I can. 16:9 adjusted is great but you can get "offscreen" artifacts while some patches (the SM64 one at least) alter the offscreen culling so doors and objects don't disappear when they're not within the 4:3 boundaries. The only downside...

    Homebrew Question Super Mario 64 not playing so good

    Interesting... Are you using the 60fps V2 hack posted here? https://www.resetera.com/threads/super-mario-64-60fps-hack-updated-all-stars-collectible-now.53115/ I might try reinstalling RetroArch from scratch tonight and see if that fixes it.

    Homebrew Question Super Mario 64 not playing so good

    Just curious, are you using the nightly build of mupen-next? I've been using the 60fps patch on Mario 64 and the emulator doesn't accept input on that game. Everything else works fine. If it works for you that makes me think I have a config problem.

    Homebrew WIP dhewm3-nx - a Doom 3 port

    Thanks, that worked! I'd figure it probably has something to do with NWindow and whatever changes that brought upon us then.
