Mesa Turnip

No you're not, Mario

Too bad the input lag on Android will make everything unplayable.

Yeah, switch android still can't run it in 60 fps...

Time to install Switch Root and test out Yuzu on it!

 

[ZeroFX]

Well, gonna grab the APK for ea on that ol trusty blog to test.

now if we could get someone that could sort of get it working more natively on the NVidia shield 2019 model

From what I see, the eggns devs have more knowledge than the yuzu devs, the eggns version is far ahead, the fps are stable and there are no graphical errors like in yuzu, I have reported many bugs on github and they have not fixed not even 1 and they have not optimized the performance either since in just a few minutes the phone gets too hot. This only means one thing and that is that those from eggns optimized the code and not just copied and pasted as many think.

egg is yuzu and yuzu is egg ns however they are very different in performance and bugs

This'n good!

My S23 Ultra got very hot after like maybe 30 seconds of playing TOTK. It's very impressive still!

My Snapdragon 7XX-based tablet is crying in the corner.
At least Dolphin is working amazingly on it.

Input lag on Android? Yeah that's definitely a problem only you have.

Too bad the input lag on Android will make everything unplayable.

People say this crap all the time but it only happens with shitty Bluetooth controllers or phones with a shit BT chipset (but any phone fast enough to run Yuzu will have a decent one and you can just use a USB one as well). A decent Bluetooth or (even better) USB controller will have inperceptable input lag. I've never once had noticeable input lag on Android and I've been using it since 2.0.

Flashing the switch controller zip from switchroot on my normal phone fixed button layout and lag

 

[HarveyHouston]

Does it work better than the Switch's stock OS?
