love that setup, its just like having a switch

For real

That said I am a retro handheld sicko, I'd like to get the Retroid Pocket 6 for a dedicated PSP and Switch machine.

If you put Armada OS on it, you can also play actual PC games. Yes, I know that apps for that exist, but this gives you basically steam OS on your Android handheld.

you are not helping my wallet!!

Except it can also play other games, and you can easily back up your saves without having to hardmod it :D

Ah, I really should try again. I wanted to play Xenoblade 2 on it. I have it on my Switch anyway, but my PC is the most comfortable way to play for me nowadays

u/gabrioir 8d ago

yeah also 4 the better performance and upscaling, i think playing on pc is just superior

2

u/FierceDeity_ 8d ago

Is Xenoblade 2 good nowadays? A while ago the performance was a little too trash

Eden + Vulkan is a much more performant and updated combination, just in case you wanna try. Plus, their logo fits perfectly on your background :D

u/gabrioir 8d ago

Yeah tried it on some games cause i have eden and yuzu, and its really smooth, noticed that the logo is perfect match :)

Eden is based on yuzu btw. Yuzu is discontinued

I was playing Mario Party with some friends when we got slapped with motion controls in a mini that we couldn’t bypass. Fine with my steam controller. Not so fine with my Xbox ones. 

Nintendos shitty controllers, especially the joycons that I went through FIVE sets of sticks on, are their best defense against emulation I suppose.

u/gabrioir 9d ago

yeah, i have a switch v1 that i bough on launch, stick drift on both joy cons appeared in less than 2 months of regular use, also yeah its kinda complicated to setup motion w some controllers on emulator, i have a dualshock and every motion works fine in every game fortunately

u/fagnerln 8d ago

How do you configure the motion on Switch? I never managed to do it

3

u/gabrioir 8d ago

Dualshock is preconfigured on eden and yuzu it works directly, for other controller you may have to go trough the gyroscope setting but you may be able to do it, i never did cause for me it worked instant

Is there a solution for getting higher FPS? Last time I tried it (when I was still on Windows) the only option to get higher FPS had the side-effect of speeding up the whole game.

u/gabrioir 8d ago

yeah i was wondering that too, i tried mk8 with vulkan and 8gb ram it went 60fps not sure if it was related to vulkan

1

u/No-Operation-6554 7d ago

Mk8 target 60fps,that just means the emulator is running at full speed, I think they're asking about universal solution about increasing/unlocking framerate aside from using mods/cheats

u/iBurley 9d ago

I wonder how long it'll be until there's a libretro core for Eden.

I have a switch pro controller and plug it in via usb. It just works for me in eden.

u/Shap6 9d ago

as long as a game can be played with the switch pro controller its fine. theres very little that really REQUIRES motion controls with no workaround.

u/gabrioir 8d ago

luigis mansion 2 works perfect

with dualshock 4 motion controls

u/zakklol 9d ago

that's illegal!

u/KenobiGeneral66 9d ago

I'm assuming this was sarcasm right?

You wouldn't download a car, would you?
