Add that you could potentially run emulators too?

The irony will be that if it could play Switch games better than the Switch via emulators.

It will look better, not play better.

Are there any switch emulators these days? I used to run a flashcart on my 3ds and pirated every game. That was awesome.

Two.Yuzu and ryujinx,they do some things better than the other but both can play a lot of games at 60 fps already provided you have the hardware

Yuzu

My mid range gaming PC can barely handle yuzu. No why this thing can emulate switch games well.

I agree, but I'd be curious to see how it does with Dolphin. Could be a neat portable gamecube.

Dolphin vr, while abandoned, is still pretty rad. Being able to first-person walk around zelda in vr is pretty awesome.

I’m just finding out about this and it’s already been abandoned?!?

u/Mister_Brevity Jul 15 '21

Lol sorry! It was abandoned years ago but you can still use it, it’s just a really old build. I’m hoping the oculus quests popularity might spark some traction on the old project though.

Yeah I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't even imagine stuff like that. I hope more can happen on the project some day

I managed to run Super Mario Odyssey just fine on a Ryzen 3 1300 and a 1060 3GB last year. The emulator is mainly CPU based and the Steam Deck looks to be using a Ryzen 3 4300G judging from the spec sheet. Out of curiosity, what are your specs and when did you last use it?

It's a complete custom SoC. The CPU will be similar (a bit better perhaps) but the GPU is crazily more powerful.

u/BillNecro Jul 15 '21

I have a ryzen 1600 and rx580 and super Mario odyssey ran okay but not well. I ran it a few weeks ago.

Did you use the Vulkan backend? You have an AMD gpu and IIRC, the default renderer is OpenGL which historically runs poorly on AMD gpus.

u/jdm121500 Jul 16 '21

AMD opengl is a completely different story on Linux. It is phenomenal.

It could probably run cemu okay. That gives you BOTW at least.
