Hacking So up to what gen do you think Switch can emulate?

[SimonMKWii]

lmao what type of weed you smoking?

I'm not referring to homebrew emulators, I'm referring to official emulators made by the original console manufacturer.
If XBOX 360 can be emulated perfectly on XBOX One, then the Switch can do it to. The Switch is only slightly less powerful.
If Wii can be emulated perfectly on the Tegra X1-based NVIDIA Shield TV, the Switch can do it too.
Gamecube same thing, as the Wii is just a higher-powered Gamecube.
If it can do Wii, it can do PS2, Dreamcast and XBOX no problem.

Now that we already got a better look at Switch homebrew scene, what is the latest console do you think that Switch can emulate at playable frame rate?

i would say around gamecube era

Errrr.... no!
Just pretend you were on a bender or summat when you typed the Xbox 360 bit, and do a quick google on it...
GC and to a lesser extent Wii - fair enough, it's quite feasible!
PS2 and Xbox? Not impossible, but again do a google to find out why it's not too likely: a quick read up if you're interested on machine architecture and the like will give you a better insight into why some people are gonna take the piss out of your posts

Yes, but this is due to lack of interest. It's not like an xbox emulator is not feasible - it's just that no one in the world is interested in making one because there are no exclusives.

There's so much going on in this one block of text alone that I don't even know where to begin

Something people need to understand when watching youtube videos of emulation is that everyone tends to run the game at very high resolutions. People with the Nvidia Shield TV will have it hooked up to a 1080p display and try to run Gamecube and Wii games much high than the consoles original native resolution. Run these games at no more than 480p and it's fine.

 

[Ryan_Dea_Gaming_Boi]

I think it would be the Gamecube since it can't emulate Wiimotes nor Gamepads.

 

[Rune]

Not having Gamepads and Wiimotes won't stop it from being emulated. It just means you can't play the games properly.

 

[AkikoKumagara]

Official emulators, probably up to GC-era. I'm sure it could run Wii games as well, honestly, but I'm not expecting that to happen.
As far as homebrew, probably nothing beyond N64/PS1.

Oh, didn't knew that!

Besides, I don't HAVE a Switch yet, so yeah, that's why I'm inexperienced of it's hardware.

 

[CeeDee]

It's a bit more powerful than the Wii U, so I'd say N64 and DS are feasible. GC/Wii and 3DS would probably stretch it, but maybe.

there are exclusives just the system is extremely hard to emulate

Here's a list I found of exclusives. Not too many must haves here. In fact I couldn't even find one game worth playing in that whole list.

What's your reasoning for why the console is hard to emulate?

You don't like the list, that's cool. Half those games I'd love to go back and play again. Xbox is currently one of the harder, older consoles to emulate. Something about how the architecture works. Which is weird given what it's based on. Hm.

Many games in that list are worth it imo.
Blinx series, mechassault series, midtown madness 3, dead or alive 3, Kung fun chaos, mad dash racing, phantom crash.

mm,Conker remake is a huge game...

For sure. However that game at least is a remake alone - so the original may still be played.
