Switchroot plans to release Android on the Nintendo Switch within the next five days

Woo Hoo! Can't wait.
Endless possibilities on the

 

So with this we will now get

Full Speed DS emulation
Full Speed DC emulation
Saturn Emulation(not sure of the speed)
GC/Wii emulation(not sure of the speed)
Gamestreaming via Geforce Now/Moonlight(Which technically means full speed emulation for any system your pc is capable of emulating)
RPGMakerVX ports
Netflix(Even though it might only be 420p)
Native media player(Docked mode can output 4k/30fps so 4k movies on memory card should be able to be played through the likes of cNx player)

Am i missing anything?

 

Random thought, hopefully someone can figure out how to fully unlock the speed of the Usb3.0 port in the back of the dock. Would be nice.

 

Kodi (is it still a thing?) Or those movie streaming apps such cyberflix

 

Oh goody switch malware will be more prevalent.......

 

Not hard to avoid at all.

 

Would be cool to use ps4 remote play with this

 

it's better than the ouya because the epic gpu.

 

While true cpu overclocking would still be a necessity for the likes of dolphin. Any word on the range were gonna be able to overclock?

 

I'd personally like to know about underclocking. Using the switch as a little mp3 player while travelling would be great.

 

As noted in the XDA post, the CPU starts at 1ghz base, biased performance mode is clocked at 1.4ghz, and full performance clock is 1.7ghz

No idea on GPU clocks, though. I would guess stock Switch when it's undocked, but could probably go higher.

 

Anyone know what the HDMI version on the dock is? Would be neat to use Kodi for 4k HDR stuff.

 

The HDMI port on the Switch's dock is HDMI 1.4a, which can support up to 4K at 30FPS. So for 4K movies and such it should work fine (since most movies run at 24FPS).

 

Ah, so that's a no.
HDR support didn't happen until HDMI 2.0a.
Bummer.

 

except it is portable and sporting an X1

 

They connect via Bluetooth, although in my experience there is no lag whatsoever.

 

just imagine playing... xcom, i guess, thats the only cool game i can think off that is on android and not on the switch.

 

If anyone is interested, a list of Android games.

damn, this is so epic
i hope i can get games like mario run running on this at full speed
i don't have an android myself so this would be a good substitute until i get one

 

This list seems a lot smaller than it should be.
