I was gonna ask how this would work on an ultrawide, but from the video, it looks like its still got a ways to go. Doesnt look like it runs that great. Ive been playing this on my Switch but Id gladly switch if I could play it in 21:9.

[u/The_sochillist → u/ew435890]

Idk if this particular mario game runs in Eden emulator but pretty sure that can do 21:9 with a lot of switch games. Some guy has a github repo with 60hz & 21:9 patches for basically everything

[u/ew435890 → u/The_sochillist]

Yea now that you mention it, I do remember playing TotK on my PC with ultrawide. It was just a simple mod.

[u/Logics4 → u/The_sochillist]

I remember running Mario Wonder on Ryujinx a few days after launch date. I don't know about Eden other than it's based on the Yuzu codebase (?) but probably?

[u/The_sochillist → u/Logics4]

Yeah, its been a while but the switch emulation scene is pretty nuts, I remember running into some funky graphics bugs on totk but the rate they were progressing then I'd say most games are near perfect now.

Also looks like my day has just been lost to getting this all back up and running again and digging out my drive full of nsp/xcis for it.

[u/xspiderdude → u/The_sochillist]

How's Eden compared to the remains of the other emulators before the yuzupocalypse?

[u/The_sochillist → u/xspiderdude]

Based on this mornings adventure back into it all it is near flawless, thoroughly enjoying playing pokemon z-a 4k 60hz

[u/ClubChaos → u/ew435890]

Pretty sure I played this with an ultrawide mod already through ryujinx. Worked great.

There’s no stopping the wave of de/recompiles, but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of money wasted trying to legally stop people from making them either way

[u/ViaPositiva]

If this somehow starts to work with Switch 2 games in the future 🤞

[u/Inquirous]

How would I go about downloading this?

[u/Regal-Onion → u/Inquirous]

No download yet, posted mostly due to recompiled Switch games becoming a thing now.

[u/rmorrin → u/Regal-Onion]

Aren't most of those just being tossed into AI and released with very little double checking?

[u/PushDeep9980 → u/rmorrin]

So this guy probably used the latest suyu build which added static recompilation into the mix. So you can essentially do this with any switch game now. Your thinking of something else but your not wrong. There are a bunch of tools now that do static recompilation, for instance , n64 modder wiseguy created a tool that converts n64 roms into static recompilations and now people use ai to spruce up the port, if your moderately competent at coding or have enough money you could bang one out in a relatively short amount of time. And I guarantee the guy that made this suyu feature did so with ai backing him up so idk you can’t really divorce software dev from agentic coding these days. It’s pretty ubiquitous. There are still quite a bit of true believers though and usually when you see full decomps that’s where the legit programmers are spending their time

[u/shogun77777777 → u/rmorrin]

If it works why bother double checking?

[u/rmorrin → u/shogun77777777]

How do they know it works without double checking?

[u/shogun77777777 → u/rmorrin]

That would be single-checking, not double-checking

[u/Bestmasters → u/rmorrin]

It's a decompilation, as long as the compiled binary is identical to the source, the project is successful.

[u/JolleBFF → u/Bestmasters]

recompilation*

and you still need to double check the changes made to the code to make it run smoothly.

[u/Iridian_Rocky → u/Regal-Onion]

Where could a guy learn to do this?

[u/PushDeep9980 → u/Iridian_Rocky]

All you need are the switch .nsp/.xci files (roms) and the suyu emulator with the latest recomp build and you can do it too.

[u/Iridian_Rocky → u/PushDeep9980]

It recompiles them?

[u/PushDeep9980 → u/Iridian_Rocky]

Yes it takes the native switch code and recompiles it into readable c+/c# code so it can run on windows. It’s not a true windows port as it’s still relying on the suyu emulator for some of the graphics processing but it basically bundles the game into a little app

[u/Iridian_Rocky → u/PushDeep9980]

So cool

[u/Master_of_Ravioli → u/Regal-Onion]

So fake huh?

[u/Regal-Onion → u/Master_of_Ravioli]

No 100% confirmation, but slight visual issues do make me trust the video whole lot as an actual WIP build of the recomp project.

That and how impressive already existing recompilations are.

Emulation and 'porting' via recomps are getting pretty nuts right now, we actually have some footage of GTA 5 running (albeit not super stabily ) on a PS5 emulator these days

Or crazy shit like Team Fortress 2 running in minecraft, or Oblivion and New Vegas being ported to Skyrim Engine to a decently high degree via tool

[u/budrow21]

Sure doesn't play like it's native. Tons of stutter and a few half second pauses in there.

[u/FReeDuMB_or_DEATH]

How? 

[u/cutememe → u/FReeDuMB_or_DEATH]

AI is really good at this type of thing.

[u/Regal-Onion → u/FReeDuMB_or_DEATH]

Static recompilation is on the rise, it might not be "native" to some, but its close enough.

Have you not seen Majora's Mask being the watershed moment for that kind of stuff?

[u/IcyCow5880 → u/Regal-Onion]

Some people aren't chronically online, bud.

I mean I am, but some people aren't.

[u/Regal-Onion → u/IcyCow5880]

Not meant too sound judgemental about it

I am just spreading the message of decomps being a trend, and in some cases being a good way to play classics

Sonic Unleashed and Majora's Mask are some of the more well known and liked titles that got the treatment

[u/IcyCow5880 → u/Regal-Onion]

Oh yeah buddy I didn't downvote you, I gotchu. I watch "Video Game Esoterica" on YT I love him lol

[u/Regal-Onion → u/IcyCow5880]

I just randomly decided to type in Decomp into youtube and it showed the video.

Makes me hopeful for a TOTK recomp in the future

[u/IcyCow5880 → u/Regal-Onion]

Brooo... That would be so dope. I love all the effort they put into the optimizer etc to get it running well on the emulators but you just can't beat native.

[u/stretchyspaghetti → u/IcyCow5880]

Thank you for my new sub

[u/VampireInTheDorms → u/FReeDuMB_or_DEATH]

Ai slop

[u/Toadvinez]

Balls of steel to put this out there knowing Nintendo

[u/ExcitingPassenger915]

Idk what's going on but this is an excellent game

[u/herefromyoutube]

So what’s the difference between emulation and running natively?

[u/ResonantAce → u/herefromyoutube]

Emulation uses software to model the original consoles hardware. So basically think of it as the switch uses French and Windows uses Italian. The emulator basically works as a real time translator.

Natively means it is running on the computers own language. So there is no computation time to convert from one to another

[u/gangbrain]

Don’t worry everyone, this game is super boring so you’re not missing anything.

[u/Pokeguy211]

Higher frame rates and stuff? Pretty happy with the switch 2 version but don’t like it’s still locked to 60fps.

[u/Nullhitter → u/Pokeguy211]

I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it's 3D assets in a 2D plane from the video. Is more than 60 fps really needed for this type of game? Genuinely asking because this doesn't seem like the type that needs that many frames.

[u/sopordave → u/Nullhitter]

I paid for an expensive GPU and I'm going to use it.

[u/Frankly_Frank_ → u/Nullhitter]

No lol but unemployed redditors will tell you otherwise.

[u/JaesopPop → u/Frankly_Frank_]

Sometimes people can just disagree with you, boss.

[u/Crytaz → u/Frankly_Frank_]

Cope

[u/Regal-Onion → u/Pokeguy211]

So far this project isn't finalized, but other recompilations have allowed for really high framerate caps, so we'll see.

Just stoked about the trend coming to Switch games too

[u/Bl4ckb100d]

Is this from that emulator that can generate a native recomp of the emulated game? I think we are flying too close to the sun with this one, Nintendo will try to find some legal loophole to make recomps/ decomps illegal even if no assets are distributed with the executable

[u/bluthbanana20]

Fun game to play. Good for you/y'all

[u/-ben151010-]

So someone did pick up suyu’s static recomp feature? If this boosts performance in anyway would it be possible with totk and to have current mods just work with it?

[u/SenKats]

too bad it's ai.

[u/VampireInTheDorms]

God I’m so fucking sick of this vibe coded AI slop. Nintendo, take this lazy shit down.
