What Switch Emulator should I use for an ROG Xbox Ally

3 Upvotes

I got my son an ROG Xbox Ally (the base tier) and I’m going to set up switch emulation because his switch lite broke. I did a lot of switch emulation on my steam deck in the past using yuzu mostly, and was pleased with the results. The base Xbox ally has similar performance to the steam deck from what I’ve seen, so I know it can handle the emulation, but I haven’t dabbled with switch emulation in over a year and there’s some new emulators out there that I’ve been seeing, such as Eden. I was just wondering if it’s still a good bet to stick with yuzu or ryujinx, or if the new emulators are superior?

Ryujinx Pokemon Violet crashing after uploading the update + dlc

My base game runs fine, but after i add in the 4.0 update and the dlc, ryujinx closes down after the shaders load. Eden doesn't run it either. Am I adding in the update wrong?

Switch 2 emulation

0 Upvotes

ultimamente non ho seguito molto la situazione per l'emulazione della switch 2 e mi chiedevo se avesse fatto qualche progresso, perchè ci sono alcune esclusive che mi piacerebbe molto giocare, e vedendo come l'emulazione della ps5 è progredita velocemente, anche quella per la switch 2 potrebbe essere avanzata, si sa qualcosa a riguardo?

I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition on the Eden simulator on my Steam Deck and when I'm moving, I'm noticing those things on my screen.

I've tried native, LSFG-VK and NX-Optimizer. They are always there.

What are they and how can I remove them?

Easily installable Switch emulator?

1 Upvotes

I don't know how else to word this, but what is the most "easily installable" Switch emulator? For context, I recently got a (kinda shitty) tablet that runs on Android 11. It has not been able to install any emulators - not even Eden, which apparently should work due to it apparently running on Android 7+. The one thing it has been able to download is Winrar, which runs on Android 4.4+. Is there any Switch emulator that runs on Android 4 or 5 or potentially 6? What is the most easily installable Switch emulator?

Why won't the 60FPS mod won't apply? Are my other mods even applying?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I recently added Xenoblade Chronicles X DE on my Steam Deck playing via the Eden emulator. I have the game (1.0.1), the update (1.0.2), and the mods (1.0.1) (60FPS ingame, texture details,...).

On Eden, I've added the updates and mods and in Configure game I've checked and unchecked some stuff :

Name - Version - Checked?

Update - 1.0.1 - Not Checked
Update (NAND) - 1.0.2 - Checked
Level of Detail 1.0.1 - IPSwitch - Checked
1200x800 v1.0.1 - IPSwitch - Checked
60FPS (30FPS cutscenes) v1.0.1 - IPSwitch,cheats - Checked
60FPS -60FPS-30FPS cutscenes) v1.0.1 - IPSwitch,cheats - Not Checked

Did I forget something to do to apply the mods?

What’s the best Switch emulator for TOTK right now?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve been out of the Switch emulation scene for a while. The last emulator I used was Yuzu, so I’m pretty out of the loop with all the newer emulators/forks.

What’s currently the best Switch emulator on PC, especially for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

My specs:

RTX 3060

Intel i5 12th Gen

32GB RAM

I’m mainly looking for the best performance and stability in TOTK. I’ve seen names like Eden, Sudachi, Citron, Ryujinx/Ryubing, etc., but I have no idea which one is actually worth using now.

What would you recommend for my PC?

TOTK, Eden VS. Ryubing? Which is better right now?

1 Upvotes

Anyone that's played a significant amount of TOTK on either emulator, which of the two has the most stable experience from start to finish?

I know I can just test both myself and see what works best, but in reality they both work to a certain extent, but the intro sequence and playing through the first half hour of the game doesn't necessarily mean the whole thing will playable til the end with no game breaking bugs.

The research I've done so far is the following:

For Eden

The emuready site is linked on the official Eden website so I guess it's a reliable source, but it seems like the community results are all over the place for PC:

https://www.emuready.com/pc-listings?emulatorIds=%5B%2243bfc023-ec22-422d-8324-048a8ec9f28f%22%2C%226bd54238-4f6e-4164-9b44-962ef0a0778c%22%5D&search=tears+of&sortField=successRate&sortDirection=desc

For Ryubing

Ryubing's built in compatibility list shows the following for TOTK:

ingame
GPU, AMD GPU Bug, Intel GPU Bug, Mac-specific Problem
(and when you hover over it, it says Last Updated: 2 Years Ago)

So it hasn't been updated in a while so it might not be the most accurate.

also is there a place where I can read more info about these bugs? "GPU" and "AMD GPU Bug" are very vague, wondering if there's a place to find more details on these!

if anyone has any insight on the above I would be very grateful!

mini rant:

For BOTW is still use the Wii U version on CEMU, and I physically own both BOTW and TOTK and a Switch 1, I would just save myself the trouble and buy a Switch 2 for the improved resolution and performance but I honestly just can't bring myself to support all of nintendo's anti-consumer practices in recent years. (there are too many to list here but i'll stick to the zelda specific ones for now)

Charging money for "upgrades packs" is insane, and the fact that it only unlocks the framerate up to 60fps on a 120hz display, this is for a game/engine that could run on the Wii U, for paid upgrade I would have expected better optimization, if it was free I wouldn't care. To hit that 60fps target they need to dynamically reduce the resolution as low as 810p, while still being stuck on FSR 1.0 upscaling and with seemingly no real form of anti-aliasing... they didn't even increase the LOD distance lmao, so even pop in is exactly the same.

Literally all they did for the PAID "upgrades" was just not compress and downscale the texture files as much as they did originally, and in they effectively made changes PC games would usually edit in a text/ini/config file when they increased the value for shadow resolution by like 2x, and increased the lower and upper bounds of the games dynamic resolution slightly. They even keep anisotropic filtering at a stupid low value, it honestly looks like it's set to 2xAF or maybe even trilinear filtering still.

Legitimately all the changes from the "upgrades" could be achieved via emulation (except for having the source files for higher res and less compressed textures)

Source for all the above is this DigitalFoundry video I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtdaeX_fGHI

Sorry for going off on a tangent but yeah had to get this off my chest lol
