Here's a major breakthrough. I discovered true, completely portable/mobile GameCube and Wii emulation on the Nintendo Switch. No wires or casting required. I've had this idea for a bit now, but was finally was able to put it together and test it.
First I installed SwitchRoot through Lineage OS. 16GB Storage Size using the Nano(I believe the smallest in size) Option. Normally, I installed Magisk but did not Shieldify my SwitchDroid at all. No matter how you set up your SwitchDroid I'm sure this will work. I installed an older version of Dolphin (GameCube/Wii) Emulator (Version 5.0-7004) through APK. It's the latest version that can be used on the Galaxy S7 Edge (my cellphone) to play at full speed. I connected a variety of controllers (Joy-Cons, PS4 controller) through the Android Bluetooth settings and set up both Touch and Bluetooth controls on Dolphin. Touch and Joy-Con controls worked, but the PS4 controller proved best. Most GameCube and Wii Games are all working and just about flawless in speed. I've tested a bunch of controllers and games already.
My Settings for Dolphin:
CPU Core- JIT ARM64 Recompiler
Dual Core- Checked
Override Emulated CPU Clock Speed- Checked
Video Backend- Vulcan
Aspect Ratio- Force 16/9
I've had no issues with these games:
GC-
Mario Kart Double Dash
Pac-Man World 2
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Wii-
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Party 9
I haven't run into a game that doesn't work or is unplayable yet. I'd like to see how far this goes and how well GC/Wii emulation can run on Switch.
I've included a video of gameplay.
