Its called Lakka, a minimal linux distro that runs Retroarch. There's a thread titled that in this forum. Its currently set up for handheld only, and you have to use bluetooth for sound, but has full proper OpenGL support and a few more JITs available since its 32-bit. Dolphin core is included that can sort-of run gamecube and wii games.

I hear Sony is working hand and hand with hackers to make PS5 both as a standalone console and to allow PS5 games to work on the Switch via homebrew.
I heard PS5 games are already available for switch homebrew.

@OP, did you get your switch to boot? You left my discord for some reason, just because it died in RCM doesn't mean it's broken, this is the 2nd one now so you should really listen to me lol, and it can/will be fixed.

You should probably tag him, like so @McRedstoneYT

Gamecube and Wii will come eventually but priorities are getting the "basics" working such as Nintendo 64 dynarec and better Lakka implementation on Switch. For now, go play some old games, there's some great stuff already working on Switch.

Oh, and Wii U emulation on Switch won't happen. The Switch is not near as powerful to run Wii U games on playable speeds emulated.

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
