Does anyone if there's a compatability list somewhere of flycast games for the switch flycast.nro?

Hi there is a nsp forwarder that works on FW 19.0.1? Thanks

You can try mine. Majority of games work, some require slight CPU OC (Crazy Taxi otherwise audio stutters) and PC ports are probably best to be avoided (they suck mostly and you can run them better in Linux). This is older version, newer might run better I believe. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xfhXZ5iFXGwrajG9zRxsmYBxsLsZfIhwDlhVFwCPQGY/edit

What does static mean? If it does not run smooth, overclock CPU a little. If you dont want overclock, use Android or Linux - those support Vulkan and run games smoothly out of the box even with upscale.

Which folder? I can set roms anywhere

I'm not able to make it works, and I tried with 2.4 nro and the latest binaries.
I put flycast.nro in /switch folder, all BIOS in /flycast/data folder and the games (in .zip format) in /flycas/ROM and set it in Settings.
I launch Flycast from Homebrew menu and, on the first screen I can see "Dreamcast bios" and games icons but no one starts.
With a similar setting, on Windows the games boot but on Switch they don't. What am I missing?

EDIT: Problem solved, I used nsp forwarder and now the games work

A new release v2.5 is out at https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/releases/

It crashes on my switch though. The old v2.4 works fine for me.

(Edit) A new 2.5 binary was posted in github, which does work fine.

Is it worth upgrading for performance improvements, or would it be better to stick with the previous version?

 

[ber71]

I can't notice any major differences, for the games I've played.

Shouldn't the switch run full speed DC at even 2x resolution overclocked? I know the Nvidia Shield has no issues with Flycast

Imo it comes down to Vulkan support - when using Vulkan in Android's Flycast it runs superb on Switch

Flycast got new update. 2.6.

I believe github. Though the problem I'm facing is that flycast is crashing whenever I boot up a game.

Never mind, got it fixed.
