Hacking Android OS on Switch Ultimate Discussion Thread

Pretty sure I've got Netflix running well above 480p but I could be wrong.

This got me excited for GTA V through Geforce Now... Anyone got to test that out yet? Moonlight or Steamlink maybe

I wanna try this out and see how other Android games work out that have no gamepad support with a touch screen mapper app. I would want to use a controller friendly frontend to launch Android games and emus (I wonder if Hyperspin for Shield will work)

I tried Drastic DS emulator with Dragon Quest VI, IX, and Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. It runs flawlessly. It’s beyond belief!

I don't see why it's beyond belief. Drastic works flawlessly on devices 10 years old; there's no reason to expect anything less from the Switch

Running Minecraft mobile edition and its working well

Did you try Castlevania in handheld mode or docked? I am curious about games that use a stylus, especially in docked mode.

If its docked, its impossible to use the touch screen

Right, but can one of the analog sticks be mapped to the stylus?

No

My SD card must be trash, because this is running so slow I can't even open up Google Play store without it telling me something isn't responding.

I would reccomend a Samsung EVO.

I am looking into getting a new card, I just grabbed an old 16gb to test this out, but it's not working out too well. A few other posters in the XDA thread mentioned Samsung cards being the best.
Pro tip kids: Don't use a cheap old SanDisk card.

Yea, many of the SanDisk cards are fakes, especially on ebay.

I always get my cards from Amazon. I have Amazon Prime, and get free 1 or 2 day shipping. Their customer service and return policy is great. I got a 512gb Samsung EVO in my Switch now, so I may get another 512Gb when Android emus like Saturn, Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Wii are working as well as on my Nvidia Shield TV 4K.

I was using Geforce Now last night to play Portal 2 for a bit. Worked great most of the time, my ISP and/or router were giving me packet loss occasionally but while the internet was behaving it played very smooth.
Gonna try steamlink at some point, I don't have an nvidia card for moonlight tho.

 

[wicksand420]

Blades works, yeah!!!!!

silly question TWRP doesnt overwrite the Horizon OS?

If people want so bad Netflix being streamed so badly in 1080P.. why they do not use those softwares that allows people to see screen computers on the android devices?
