I'm wondering if we can port that official gamecube emulator from the Chinese version of nvidia shield tv.
Because it runs gamecube/wii games 1080p and fullspeed as well. The switch and nvidia shield tv are both sharing the same chip (Tegra X1).

Those are full ports, not emulated.

I don't know about port but if Ninty release any GC games officially on Switch hopefully we'll be able to inject our own ;)

Great to see, but, won't the downclocked specs affect the ability for Dolphin to run on Switch? GPU probably isn't a problem, but CPU certainly would be. Nintendo's officially emulated games run on Nvidia Shield TV, which that operates at roughly 2.0Ghz on the CPU. Switch is half that. Probably too early to tell, but could the Switch's CPU be clocked back up, at least partially, and if so, how much heat would that produce? As mentioned, the GPU probably won't be stressed for this, and to me, that's generally where most of the heat comes from.

The tweet said 20-25 FPS with little to no major optimizations on open source drivers. I don't know how much more clear they could be about that.

I'm pretty sure we will be able to overclock the Switch CPU in the (maybe not so distant) future.

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

    it's a big ol complicated world innit

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy

    90k could get you a 3 bedroom house in some poorer parts of the country

    Just go gummy, ancientboi would like you better that way anyways, and you save money on toothbrushes/toothpaste
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.

    I drink soda twice out of the week

    Even sugar free isn't good, as the acid is bad enough.

    oh earlier than 15 Ken, babies, children can get decay
