Homebrew Question Dolphin on Switch in 2021?

[megamanzero]

Are we going to get a Dolphin core in retroarch or Dolphin in any capacity on Switch?

 

[Rahkeesh]

m4wx isn't interested and no-one else seems to be as heavy into Horizon retroarch dev so it seems highly unlikely.

You can run it on ubuntu/android/lakka right now and performance is kind of spotty. Switch isn't really powerful enough to run much of the library at fullspeed. Even Nintendo themselves are recompiling their gamecube/wii ports and don't try to emulate the whole system in realtime.

Use the dual boot options. Most gamecube can basically run fullspeed, but if your after trying to play wii games, very few are playable.
Muramasa and New Super Mario Bros Wii work pretty flawlessly, but 95% of the wii library runs poorly even with OC.
Don’t ever expect to be playing gc/wii on CFW.
The best chance were the hybrid emulators created for 3d allstars. If something does ever come from those it will be a matter of years.

A friend of mine asked this question a few times before, and m4xw said to pay him and he would work on it

I checked the magic 8 ball and it said how the fuck would we know

It seems normal to me to respond that way. Nobody sees the immense work behind every homebrew. This requires great capabilities and a long, long time and that the user of the scene does not value (obviously a comment and like are not enough).

Can anyone inject GC ISOs into Mario 3D All-Stars yet, in place of Sunshine?

Waiting for PS3 and PS4 emu on Switch...

And port of Yuzu on Switch too.

No, the executable code for the GC/Wii games was recompiled to run natively on Switch. Nintendo used a custom-made recompiler for this, and we don't have it.

And port of Yuzu on Switch too.

It's already ported, name's «Horizon OS».

Yuzu on Switch would be pretty Meta, and probably run like crap with Android running overhead, gobbling up the precious resources.

 

[Rahkeesh]

Don't you see? If Yuzu ran on Horizion, then you could run Yuzu inside of Yuzu...

From what I've seen in parts each of those emulators built in are custom to each game. I'd imagine it's not like 3ds vc injecting.
I hope to be proved wrong in the future, switch has a brilliant homebrew scene.

It's been determined on a Discord sub that the emulator used in that collection is...well, to put it in video format:

How much?

 

[wicksand420]

How much?

Likely something you would have to ask him, I'd imagine if someone started a donation pool and made a bounty for the dolphin core for hos, I'm sure he or someone else would work on it.

 

[M7L7NK7]

More money than it's worth

Will the Dolphin Emulator work on LineageOS for Switch? For Gamecube games?

It's worked for the last few years
