I'm sure it will. That's just baseless pessimism. By the way I will quote you on this.i bet it won't get gcn emulation due to the down clocked cpu its down clocked because it would overheat if it was not.

i don't think 1 ghz can do gamecube emulation full speed.I'm sure it will. That's just baseless pessimism. By the way I will quote you on this.
Sure it can. Especially when it comes to Nintendo.i don't think 1 ghz can do gamecube emulation full speed.
Nintendo's emulators use more resources for example most snes games can run full speed on the old 3ds with a homebrew emulator but not with a Nintendo emulator.Sure it can. Especially when it comes to Nintendo.
That's not even remotely accurate. That's a heavy assumption.Nintendo's emulators use more resources for example most snes games can run full speed on the old 3ds with a homebrew emulator but not with a Nintendo emulator.
Nintendo gameboy emulator on the 3ds isn't accurate either.That's not even remotely accurate. That's a heavy assumption.
These aren't exactly points you're making, you know this, correct?Nintendo gameboy emulator on the 3ds isn't accurate either.
doesn't emulate some features of the original hardware.These aren't exactly points you're making, you know this, correct?
Also, it works well enough for me to play soooooo many gameboy games on the 3DS. How is it not accurate? I'd go so far as to say it's super accurate for what it is.
This is irrelevant.doesn't emulate some features of the original hardware.
Yet Shield can barely handle PS3-level games.This is merely baseless speculation. The Switch is nowhere near as powerful as an Nvidia Shield.
Maybe because PS3 was a Cell powered machine, making it a pain in the ass to even develop games for.Yet Shield can barely handle PS3-level games.
First off, by PS3-level games, I don’t necessarily mean PS3 games. Take Xbox360 or PC games that were released when the PS3 was Sony’s latest. They all looked and performed more or less the same.Maybe because PS3 was a Cell powered machine, making it a pain in the ass to even develop games for.
Let alone emulating it.
"PS3-level games" is a very specific statement to make, that's why I thought you were aiming at emulating it.First off, by PS3-level games, I don’t necessarily mean PS3 games. Take Xbox360 or PC games that were released when the PS3 was Sony’s latest. They all looked and performed more or less the same.
Second of all, who the hell is talking about PS3 emulation?
Don't forget the fact that we will be limited due to Licensing issues, like we saw with N64 releases.But I think the biggest reason for homebrew over Nintendo's solution is that, if Nintendo really did make a GC emulator for use on Switch, it would be to package it with single pieces of software and sell it a la carte as Virtual Console titles. That means only a select library of games are playable in the first place. Whereas with a homebrew solution, you could theoretically load any GC iso you wanted. Nintendo's clearly not gonna sell a whole emulator to you for loading your own .isos.
I think it's obvious as to which shield is being discussed....Depends on the Shield at stake. It's more powerful than my Shield Portable, with it's Tegra 4 Processor. (The predecessor to the K1 and X1 chips)
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Hacky, unofficial emulation vs official. Your argument is whole heartedly invalid.Nintendo's emulators use more resources for example most snes games can run full speed on the old 3ds with a homebrew emulator but not with a Nintendo emulator.
most of the emulators are hard on the cpu, the gpu barely matters as long as it can do the shadders and such, you dont get any improvemente if you have a gpu that costs 800$ or one that costs 300$ dolphin and 99% of the emulators are all cpu dependant.Not this thread again...
Dont expect a gamecube virtual console like the shield tv one, since the switch has two modes to develop for, handheld mode will restrict a lot the emulator and im pretty sure it will be pretty limited when it comes to games compatibility. Clockspeeds do mean something in the long run and even if they use the same chip, arround 300mhz of gpu wont do the emulation justice.
