Of course you can, the tutorial will cover that

Wow that sounds amazing! Will the game resume if we exit to home menu?

If you use Retroarch's save state feature, yes. You can reload the state and continue. If not, no.

You mean manually save/reload the state?

Yes. All this is is a forwarder for Retroarch. You can access the Retroarch menu and save/load states. You'll need to do that manually if you wish to continue where you left off.

Oh I see, let's just hope the devs add a feature in retroarch to autosave when exiting to home menu and autoload when resuming from it

It depends on your settings but the game will not be killed if you return HOME.

This is really cool. I like having a stock experience as much as possible, so I always preferred using forwarders that I can put on the home menu of the console than using a separate menu like RetroArch (even though the Switch-like Ozone menu driver looks really nice, the default XMB just feels wrong to use on a Nintendo system ^^').

Too bad Switch doesn't allow us to use folders or sort the home menu manually, so with a lot of games this could become pretty confusing. Also, I wonder if Nintendo hardcoded an arbitrary title limit into their firmware again that limits the amount of installed games to 300 or something like that.

I assume this method has the same advantages as loading homebrew through an installed title, right? Like full RAM access?

The title limit is way over 300.
I think SciresM noted the max a long while back and it was huge.
Agree with the hone menu folder point - that’s my most wanted feature

Oh, that's great to hear!

So we just have to wait for Nintendo to add folders which would surely come with the ability to sort the menu manually as well. I mean folders wouldn't make much sense otherwise. With the amount of games being released on this system they have to do this eventually.

Before it closes, is there any news of an automated program?
