i just saw this... man, will it be a good time to be a switch owner soon. just hurry up and get Muppen64 or PJ64 working.... then... you'll have me sold in a heartbeat....
Mupen64 is possible.
Project64 I don't think so, afaik Project 64 hasn't been made into a core for RetroArch yet.
good point. i guess i forgot about that... if it was a retroarch core, id be using it for my retropie setup... but that's not a can of worms to get into on a Nintendo switch forum....
Huh. I just realised it could be possible to get a port of Drastic for the Switch.
Currently you have to pay for it on the play store but Exophase has said he would release it for free eventually so we could hopefully get a Retroarch core down the road

I gotta say though, I'm looking forward even more to melonDS/Medusa rather than Desmume, hopefully that one gets a core like mGBA didHuh. I just realised it could be possible to get a port of Drastic for the Switch.

While MelonDS is a better choice overall Drastic is written for android devices and has High Resolution 3D Rendering feature.I gotta say though, I'm looking forward even more to melonDS/Medusa rather than Desmume, hopefully that one gets a core like mGBA did

Too bad DraStic is closed source though
Exophase has ported it to Raspberry Pi 2/3 so there's a possibility for Switch too.Too bad DraStic is closed source though

Drastic is close sourced though. Our options are Desumune and MelonDS for now.While MelonDS is a better choice overall Drastic is written for android devices and has High Resolution 3D Rendering feature.
That's true but if the guy is willing to port it that wouldn't matter
