True Blue lasted just over a year before something better came along. -- Funny how people always claim i made money on it, when i was never part of it, only ran the support forum and bandwidth costs outrun the tiny amount of ad money, so infact out of pocket. -- and I am admin of over 250 sites, of which 90% I host and maintain for free, eating all costs, so how that making a quick buck. -- really no one has clue on how the true scene works or why. :)
Of course not...

Nah, that's just Anbox. Technically someone could port an Android userland on top of our kernel, but we didn't bother.
Android on a switch is such a waste of time in my opinion. Time spent on that could be spent on developing some actual Homebrew and stuff

Just my opinion

i was just thinking about citra too..hope someone can test it tho
Citra is x86/x64 only so that won't happen for a long time and even if it would be very slow.
Since Horizon OS (the Switch OS) is built on the 3DS OS it's more likely that someone will come up with a nice homebrew to launch 3DS games more or less natively on the Switch eventually.

I hoping Ninty will release 3DS games officially eventually, then we can all get our injection on ;)

Cool, but your opinion really doesn't matter FYI.

Just my opinion
Android has some really great games that I would love to play on the switch. I am really hoping that we get Android! I'm a big fan of Asphalt 8 and would love to be able to play it on the switch rather than my phone or Shield TV. Would also like to be able to remote play games from PC!

I'm also hoping for running android (nvidia shield tv version) to could buy and play (resident evil 5 and metal gear solid 5)

Holy shit!! @ShadowOne333 Another by Shiny Quagsire.. This time Pcsxr :D

Holy shit dude!
Dolphin runs way better than I expected it to!
20~ fps is not bad at all, perhaps with proper optimization in a port to it and/or some speedhacks we could reach playable speeds for sure.

And PCSX runs... ;) Delightful, same for Mupen64 I'd assume.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
