            No, he meant flawlessly. I finished the game without problems before the release.
            Yes, it had problems on day 1, but it was quickly fixed and around 3 days before release it was pretty much perfect.

              lol yeah, being serious for a minute, it runs a like..15-25fps, but I think botw is a rough game to emulate generally and needs to be bruteforced a lot in yuzu. We can't 100% say the same will be true of the new one, but I honestly don't see Nintendo using a upgraded form of the engine used, or coding it any better. This is Nintendo, it's just going to be a glorified expansion pack and people will eat that shit up.

        The only thing I ever see people post about this stupid thing is it supposedly emulating switch games. All the footage I've seen of this emulation seems pretty garbage though. Why would you buy a $400-$650 device to emulate switch games? I think you'd get more bang for your buck by just buying an actual switch and hacking it.

      If you used steam rom manager there should be a folder in your collections called emulation where you can launch them standalone. N64 uses retroarch though and I think you can bring up the menu in game with L3 +R3. I usually just use steam input to bind the grip buttons though.

      It can vary. Playing modern AAA games is two hours or less without tweaking. You can add 45 minutes to an hour playing at 40 HZ refresh rate locked or 30 FPS locked. Older games and indie games and it can easily last 5 hours or more with the same tweaking

                there probably isnt, but if you pay 100$ more you get laptops 5 times as fast

    Here's a tip: Go into the power management settings, enable the per game power profile and turn down TDP and GPU clock to minimum and turn on variable shader on for games that can run on toasters like Dead Cells, VVVVVV, Slay the Spire, Binding of Isaac, etc. to get maximum battery life with minimum heat without any impact to performance. You'll see those games normally use up like 2% of CPU with default power settings start to use 50% which is what you actually want because you're otherwise wasting the power.

    How limiting is the read only files on the OS, is there any chance steam will change that. Can i avoid steam mode? I don't wanna put every game I wanna play inside steam. I wanna use emulators without having to open steam. I heard even installing wine is hard because of read only, is that true?

        You have full control over your system and os, you can do whatever you want with it. You don't have to use steam mode at all if you don't want to and you can make all files read and write if you want.

        This is technically true, you can turn off read only but then any update will erase anything you place outside the user folder. So turning off read only is pretty much useless.

                Let me break it down for you kiddo.

                The Switch is will soon be going into its 7th year on the market and uses a 2015 SoC. The cheapest Switch is $200. Comptetive phones and tablets cost $1,000.

                The problem is not a single phone or tablet game offers higher fidelity visuals than a Switch game. Or sustainably higher framerate. Take something like Fortnite, 60fps mode runs on the top phones made in the past couple years. The resolution is a little higher than Switch but the fidelity is lower. After 30 minutes of play, the framerate drops to 30 frames per seconds due to throttling because phones are fabless and it’s too fricking hot.

                Phones and tablets.don’t have the cooling solution to allow for their objectively better hardware to surpass the 2017 Switch. On average, smartphone games only have a slight resolution advantage and most games still don’t render in native resolutions anyways. They’re fanless and get too hot needing to throttle which kills performance. They have an Android and phone overhead that gimps performance. They have small batteries that drain to nothing under load. And they have shittier graphics drivers than what nvidia offers. They do offer way better CPU performance but it throttles too under load. Nvidia’s GPU in the switch and the 4GB of RAM which matches most expensive phones, are two reasons why the Switch is more than competitive 6 years later.

                Then consider something like the steam deck, which on paper is technically superior. But the terrible optimisation and stability of Switch emulators can barely run on on high end desktop rigs. On the Deck Switch emulators run like absolute shite and drain the battery in around 20 minutes.

                TL:DR you're full of shit and clearly a seething Nintendo hater.

                Lmao no. Devices like Ayn Odin are 200$-300$, and they not only emulate Switch, but also every other Nintendo console.

                >The problem is not a single phone or tablet game offers higher fidelity visuals than a Switch game. Or sustainably higher framerate.
                There are a ton of mobile games that run at 90 or even 120 fps. There are zero Switch games that run at 90 or 120 fps.

                >After 30 minutes of play, the framerate drops to 30 frames per seconds due to throttling because phones are fabless and it’s too fricking hot.
                Citation needed.

                >Phones and tablets.don’t have the cooling solution to allow for their objectively better hardware to surpass the 2017 Switch.
                Again wrong, phones and tablets have all sorts of cooling solutions, from internal fans that exist in certain chinkphone brands, to external fans, cooling pads, etc.

                >They’re fanless and get too hot needing to throttle which kills performance.
                Again posting 5 year old information.

                >They have small batteries that drain to nothing under load.
                Black person OG Switch can barely run BotW for over 2 hours, and drains in 3 hours even when playing literal Picross or Sudoku. I can run Picross on my phone for 24h straight without charging.

                >Then consider something like the steam deck, which on paper is technically superior. But the terrible optimisation and stability of Switch emulators can barely run on on high end desktop rigs
                I already told you it's not 2018 anymore, Switch emulators run on 4 year old phones just fine.

      A moronic dream.

      Do you have any idea what sell
      -through is? The Deck isn't even fricking available at retail. Do you have any idea what licencing is? Or how much money developers can make from Switch games?

      This idea that the Deck is a threat to the Switch is the most delusional out-of-touch-with-reality psychosis I've seen on this board in years. I used to think you c**ts were shitposting but you're actually fricking serious?

    how do mods work on the deck for pirated games?

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      The deck has a dual boot of sorts. There's Steam OS which is like a more traditional game OS, and then there's the Linux OS, Linux uses Proton to emulate Windows games, so almost anything running on a normal P.C setup should work on the Linux OS side of the Deck. TL;DR, pirated games should work the same as windows, mods and all, just trickier to set up.

        This is actually what I'm thinking. It was the one I had in my Switch for a few years. I finally got the game download freezing stopped and uninstalled it from the SD card and reinstalled it on the Deck storage itself. I think if I just do it this way I can just transfer it over after and have zero issues. It might just be the micro SD that's bunk because I have zero of these issues with hardware itself. In fact the hardware is incredible, the only issues I've ever had with this thing are software..games run and work phenomenal.

        >a hacked switch is a valid android option
        Is it easy to switch between android and regular switch? Which would you want to run emulators on? Would they both run emulators well? And would Genshin and Mobile Legends run well on it?

          for me, yes it is easy. I just hit restart and the switch boots into its menu for picking what payload. I swap sd cards at that point but you can just keep 2 partitions on the same sd card. You you ever shut down or let that battery die you have to plug it into a computer to reenable all the hacks but itll play your own cards or owned downloads fine if you dont immediately have access to a computer.
          it can run emulators but ive done nothing crazy. Ive never played wither of those games. I only use it for codmobile and stadia

          Mine sits happily alongside my deck. They're really different devices, and I refuse to use the deck for emulating anything below 6th gen, anyway.

          The dock looks great, and I love the integrated space for a hard drive on it, but I don't like the weird plastic bit.

              It's kind of a waste. Emulating older stuff on the deck is just a waste of space and honest better suited to something smaller and sleeker. If the Odin does it just as well, while also being smaller and lighter, I will use that.

                This is the way I feel. I'll probably keep any emulation I do to that era and up as well. I've got so many PC games I want to try that I may not get around to emulation for several months, anyway.
