I have a switch on 3.0.1. And I would like to know on how to use Rainway on it. I already downloaded the streamer on my windows 10 pc. But how do i use it on my switch? I'm not so sure on how to connect to my pc games from there. Do you know if there are any tutorials online on youtube of the sort? Because I would like to try this out as soon as possible. So just let me know about that. And also, when is the homebrew launcher coming for the switch? That's what I would like to know especially. Because I would like to play some Snes games on my Switch. So please let me know about the status of that. And also give me a tutorial on how to use Rainway on my switch. And also let me know about the Homebrew launcher. So thank you very much!

Rainway's still being developed for the Switch, and like the post above me said, it's unclear whether Nintendo will allow Rainway on Switch in the first place. As for homebrew, no one knows when it'll be ready, but given the pace at which the Switch has been hacked, I'd say expect something by the year's end.

Rainway does not work with the browser exploit quite yet, and as others have stated, Nintendo is still deciding on the native app.

For homebrew, you also have to realise that just having the hombrew launcher doesnt mean you can play snes games and the sort. That has to be developed seperately. And as the previous post states, no one really knows when that will happen. we can only guess.

Kind of a waste of making the app if they didn't get the green light first...

Guys stop assuming they won't let it on the system. It's baseless pessimism... There's no reason why they wouldn't... Just wait and see without making the shot that "it'll probably never happen on the switch"... it makes zero sense.

We just know that Nintendo isn't open-minded to suggestions, so surely you understand why we are this way.

Yep. ... And?

Not really. In fact they've been shown to be incredibly open-minded toward suggestions, especially in comparison to other companies. They're being far more open than Sony and Moneysoft in MANY ways, and they're actually listening to their fans about what content they'd like on the switch. And that's not even a new thing for them. They've been that way for a LONG time.

The fact that you think otherwise shows your ignorance toward the situation. And when you comment like that, it spreads, causing others to assume the same, which is exactly how this stupid train of thought began in the first place.

Fans have been demanding a local translation for Mother 3 for over a decade. We want mainline Pokemon games on the HOME consoles. People suggest cool shit to them ALL THE TIME, like a new Pokemon Snap for consoles that have the ability to use motion controls, like the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch. It took them until the Switch just to get region-free games, when we hated region lock way back on the GameCube and going forward. We want NDS players (Like Super Gameboy, Gameboy Player, etc) for our NDS (and maybe our 3DS) games to be playable on home consoles like Wii U or Switch, not as a VC download. They won't stop with the gimmicky controllers, but at least now we finally have Pro controllers as options. Bottom line is that Nintendo is still stubborn as all hell.

So because they don't go with every single thing fans request, that shows they're the way you've described them to be? You're so ignorant. They've listened SO many times and you're cherry-picking. In fact, Sony and Moneysoft are so much worse in that respect. Your logic is flawed and you're being biased and closed-minded. I'm so tired of this bullshit being spread around. Just... stop... You're super obnoxious.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
