Homebrew Question So how's emulation on Switch coming along and what's our best options right now?

[giogio5]

So I haven't heard much talk about emulation aside from Retroarch and Lakka, personally I haven't tried Lakka yet (I think they are different things I honestly don't know at this point) but I have played a tiny bit of Retroarch, mainly the SNES emulation. Usually a constant 50 FPS in handheld which bugs me seeing as I can tell something is just a bit slower then usual. Going to try some N64 roms soon however all I've heard of N64, PSX and beyond doesn't really sound all that great. What consoles can we even emulate without much issue right now? And is there anyway to improve our emulation or anything of the sort?

Overclocking is coming soon to RetroArch. Soon, N64 and PSX games will be playing at normal speed. Follow Jason L (aka Mr Homebrew) on YouTube for more info.

The commits its pushed, but until the next nightly build will be applied.

Most of the PSX games, but N64 are reported to still need some juice C:

Well that explains it. I thought the FPS differences between roms only applied to systems and not to the emulators. I assume the FPS thing also happens for N64 roms has well naturally. Well fuck.

N64 games are weird.
Majoras for example is a 20fps title with "normal" dips down to 18fps (16-18 on PAL)
Rule of thumb for n64 games is: Good audio == fullspeed

Well it's a shame seeing as I'll have to get rid of all my PAL ROMs which is like basically all of the roms I have.
