SahwaSwitch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub
UlrichDespite that, they say that GitHub didn’t even respond to their counterclaims, and just shut the whole thing down the minute Nintendo asked.
You are a fly on the wall of one of the biggest tech companies in the world. They have no interest in going to court for you just so you can keep your emulator on their site.
hperrinThat’s not what I think of when I hear the phrase fly on the wall.
Github is owned by a multinational megacorp and has been for 8 years, and given how they’ve severely botched windows 11 updates with impunity they’re clearly only beholden to themself. It should come as no great shock at all that they only “care” what other multinational megacorps want.
FuCensorshipRight?! Why is there this “narrative” that if something is banned from GitHub it’s like the end for that software…
Who the hell is GitHub? Fuck em.
GhostlyPixelHere’s the lint for anyone who is looking for it
Rob T FireflyYou have to find game ROMS.
Ive used it on linux a bit
Runs just fine
All of them still work. I’m running Yuzu as my daily still.
Eden is a more advanced fork of Yuzu with better compatibility. No reason to keep using Yuzu IMO.
Since the switch 2 is an entirely different console, a lot of work will need to be done to emulate it. I would wait several years.
Thought as much, just with it beint such a minor update I thought maybe in trms of architecure it was much the same
TattorackIf you want to keep an eye on Switch 2 hacking progress go to the GBATemp forums.
You’ll quickly find out that the Switch 2 is almost impossible to get into. ^^;
I keep wanting to check things like this out, and then I remember there’s not even any Switch games I want to play. I tried the open world Pokémon game when that came out years ago, purely just to see what they did (it was boring as fuck, as pretty much everyone agree). The only other thing is maybe TotK, but there’s better things (in my opinion) that I still need to play. Shadow of the Erdtree, for example, is something I still need to get around to.
If anyone actually does think there are Switch games worth playing, in your opinion, what are they? I’m curious. I have to admit I avoid most advertising and don’t follow Nintendo stuff, so there could be things I’m not aware of.
I feel the same but what it comes down to for me is I hate Nintendo IPs and for the most part it is the Nintendo games that bring people to their consoles.
Pretty much everything else is available elsewhere. Or at least that is the impression I get. Does the console have any noteworthy exclusives that aren’t Nintendo characters.
Pokemon would be the main thing that appealed for me too but I liked red, blue, stadium and that was about it. I didnt play much after that and what I did didnt stick so I think I’d have similar feelings to you towards the new ones.
I really enjoyed Zelda BOTW. I beat it. Then I did their weird glitch that requires you to beat it twice more without dying once, but you get to keep this crazy Light Bow thing forever. I spend like a week accomplishing that glitch. Then I spend like 6 months hoping on it every once in a while, just to ride around the map and shoot things with that bow. Eventually I lost my game save, and now I don’t play it anymore… I would, if I didn’t have to spend another week on a glitch to get my bow back. Now I just look at it, remembering the good times.
The metroid prime 1 remake is fantastic, metroid dread is pretty good too. Nintendo has a unique style with their first party games and while that’s a good thing for the market as a whole, you’re right that if it’s not your cup of tea there’s really not much on the switch for you.
Visual novels are well represented and sometimes more complete than their PC counterparts as it has become pretty dominant in Japan. Other than that, I’ve never really gotten into Nintendo’s first party games either. Somehow, they just don’t hold my attention.
I think the Bayonetta games are really fun and closer to the old school God of War trilogy than the new God of War games. Its a fun hack and slash that you can button mash your way through, but is a lot more fun if at the very least you learn how to dodge offset. www.youtube.com/watch?v=subkGpouSeo
How to dodge offset in Bayonetta
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have an atmosphere like a Studio Ghibli movie. If that doesn’t appeal to you than I guess you won’t like those games.
It looks fine. It’s more the gameplay that doesn’t seem appealing. It seems almost frictionless. There’s too many games that do something similar that are more appealing to me. I’ve been meaning to get into Outward (I own it, but I haven’t put the time into it to get far), but now Outward 2 is on the horizon. It’s open world adventure, but it actually asks the player to think and put some effort into it.
I mean… The Legend of Zelda also asks you to think and put some effort into it, in the form of dungeon puzzles. It’s the gameplay specifically what I compare to the atmosphere of a Ghibli movie.
I’ve played Outward. It’s… Incredibly janky, and also tries to be a very hardcore type of game. I don’t think it can be adequately compared to something like Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.
They can be compared in that they’re both open-world action-adventure games. I can’t play every game, and of those I’m much more interested in Outward, because it’s trying (and often failing, but still trying) to do something really interesting. BotW was trying to do something others have done, just very polished. I’m more interested in the games who are experimenting, even if I have to deal with a bunch of jank.
BotW and TotK make you think, but in a way that a child can complete it without much issue. That’s fine, but that’s their target. If it’s harder than that then it’s too hard for the game. This isn’t a complaint, but an observation. It’s like going to Pokémon and expecting a challenge. It’s literally made for children, so it’s not going to be there. It’s on me if I go in expecting a challenge.
I don’t understand how Nintendo is charging over $100/game and can’t bother to hire voice actors for this shit. I tried ToTK and it felt like a shitty asset flip to me that was way overpriced. Sold my switch and went back to just PC and emulation
Sounds like you’re unfamiliar with Japanese games. It’s not typical for them to have full voice acting.
Calling anything from The Legend of Zelda a cheap asset flip is quite something, though.
I mean are they not using essentially the same assets since ever? Every game they put out just feels like regurgitated IP to maximise profits at this point
… No? Most Legend of Zelda games use the same style maybe twice or thrice… if that. New style means new assets, new models and textures. So they’re not simply reusing assets.
And I strongly disagree. For a game to be priced lower it needs to actually have less value. Not simply be absent of something you’re used to in Western games.
Pretty much all the games made by Nintendo themselves. Mario Odyssey is great too.
FireWire400Got Eden on my Steam Deck, runs so good. Nintendo could learn a thing or two tbh.
Emulators are legal, there’s enough precedent for that, Nintendo’s just butthurt that their games run better on 3rd party emulators than they do on their own hardware.
tbf, eden is a new development and pretty young compared to yuzu and how mature it was.
at least afaik
Yuzu is also still around, although mostly dead.
Yuzu was sued by Nintendo America and paid USD 2.4 Million in settlement
The original developers behind Yuzu (Tropic Haze LLC) were taken to court earlier this year and agreed to pay the above sum to Nintendo, they were also ordered to shut down and destroy all the data.

It has no trouble playing Super Mario Wonder at full speed and 1080p, that’s good enough in my books.
On my PC, sure. But I was easily playing Switch games on my Deck, which… Well… Performance is lacking.
Huh, runs totally fine on my OLED Deck with the CryoUtilities enhancements.
It’s basically a bunch of scripts to tweak performance; you can watch the very good explanation by its creator . It does boost performance quite a bit.
