Hacking Android OS on Switch Ultimate Discussion Thread

If they can get openGL working it'd probably be even better since right now it's vulkan only.

Vulkan (at least on Ubuntu and Lakka) performs better than OpenGL

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.

Can you please link to the version of dolphin you are using. When I was using the playstore version it crashed upon launching the app after the first launch.

This build has the same problem as the playstore build.

You're welcome! Dolphin nightlies can be finicky. Be careful with that though my switch cranks up the heat pretty quickly.

Were you able to get the joycons to work with it? I got the buttons to work but cant seem to get the control sticks to work.

I tried both. They both seem to work.

Anyone know if it's possible to get games like Pocket Camp, Dr. Mario World, and FE Heroes working?

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.

i have my switch controller connected, but i can’t figure out where to select my inputs in dolphin? any help? i’m using the newest build from their site

edit: found it lol

Hi,
someone can tell me if android is better than L4T ubuntu ? Or the result is the same ?

Thanks

 

[Rahkeesh]

Android Dolphin doesn't really run any better if that is what you were asking. Otherwise its a phone OS vs a computer OS, as different as night and day.

 

[Znuf]

Yes it's what i would to know. Not dolphin in particular but it's a good reference standard.
Thanks a lot, i'll install L4T.

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

I flashed this but still both sticks won't work with the newest Dolphin build. Setup is fine, ingame nop.
