This is from the SDK

Developer portal huh?
Interesting stuff indeed

Man we are like damn patience gods for holding off from updating after Odyssey's release xD

Yep, plus one game is not enough to update for and lose HB access. There is gonna be an influx of console update haters and what not flooding these boards once a useable release is dropped.

An NRO loader/launcher app sounds good to me As for RA I'm the same. It's going to be sad to have to retire the old girl but she's been a good Emulation companion lol
She almost got to N64/PS1 (well she still could do PS1 if the Dynarec Bounty pans out)

What saddens me the most is the lack of good N64 emulation
Which the Switch shouldn't have troubles with once they get the hang of how to render 3D stuff in it due to being ARM based.
Actually I plan on leaving the good old Wii U for TV and Switch for handheld play.
The best of two worlds, and I lose nothing xD

I wonder when homebrew is coming out

I'll have to do something similar, I cant bring myself to box away my WiiU. We've been through too much stuff lol

So much hope, hype and heart put into it.
When everyone said "no one cares about the Wii U", it always delivered.
And yeah I suggest doing so, keeping the boy alive in a proper TV while the Switch can also share another one at home, or having it as an entirely handheld device does it as well.
I might retire the 3DS once the Switch gets emulation xD

even if this exploit comes out today or tomorrow still going to take time. you think someone is just going to pull an emulator out of their ass?

 

[leonmagnus99]

i wonder if we will ever see these guys be able to port their work to UE4 on the switch?

i would love oot on switch, with the added option to turn off that annoying navi.
i still can't play the 3ds version because of that darn annoying thing poppin out every 2 steps i walk.

What saddens me the most is the lack of good N64 emulation

oh i would like to play the very first paper mario on the switch !
i believe the n64 version is the first one in the series right ?

i am playing thousand year door (ngc) on my wii u these days, and i had no idea how fun the mario rpgs could be.
same goes for the mario luigi rpg games, i been playing the superstar saga (since it was on gba it is one of the early games in the mario luigi series i believe) i will try to play them in order.

Is it possible that Android based emulators will have an easier time being ported?

Thanks Daeken for confirming 3.0 as the go to firmware version

On that note did plutoo ever confirm which firmware his arbitrary rw in kernel was running on ? I have read through pages of his original tweet and it doesn't seem to have been confirmed

Which retail game was the one to update a low console to 3.0.0 again?

So far I know of Pokken Tournament DX.

Only? Oh man, that sucks. None of my friends has that.

Look for an Second Hand Store like Gamestop near you and ask them if you could try out Pokken.

That's exactly what I was thinking lol.

- Don't get me wrong I do love homebrew as much as the next guy.. but I just think stuff should be a little slower, especially with no wii/gamecube ware yet... but hopefully, maybe we can of course do EMUNAND.. that should be the next focus..

I know you're tired of reading this from me but all I care of at the moment is RetroArch for the Switch.
And some kind of NNU Patcher would be fantastic because if I buy Zelda again on another console (in this case for the Switch) I would want to start with the hard mode but there's no way to use update and dlc without accessing the eShop.

If somewhere soon-ish down the line homebrew support hasn't advanced to the stage where we can player >3.00 Switch games then it'll be totally pointless. I'm slightly greedy in that I want everything, but if the times does come to choose between having (yet another) console that can emulate old games or playing new Switch games then its pretty obvious that Switch games is the choice.

 

[CMDreamer]

ETA requesting flood messages coming... -_-

This is great news if it ever becomes a reality. Homebrew would rocketlaunch Switch sales (not necessary at all though).

 

[thanapop69]

I just got one but it was 3.0.2
Is there anyway to downgrade my switch to 3.0.0?

No. Not likely to ever happen either.
