Just tested with 5.0.2 and loaded Chrono Trigger. First time 10 seconds into loading the rom it crashed. 2nd time the game ran but the framerate and sound was skipping so bad. It wasn't "unplayable" but it was definitely not enjoyable. I'll wait for a more stable release. Thanks for working on this for us.

hey @MasterFeizz, dont mean to hijack the thread, but when are you going to update the eduke32 3DS port?
I got a few releases lined up first, then I can work on it

masterfeizz, you always deliver! thanks for this dude, this is awesome! If you could pop this onto switchbru somehow that would be even better, im not seeing it there.
I don't know how to or who to talk to

The last couple of days I decided to mess around with the switch, so for my first release I decided on a DS emulator.

The interface is very crude based on the Vita port I worked on a few years back. Basically just put some roms inside sdmc:/switch/desmume/roms and play.

Well time to see if it runs Metroid Prime Hunters, Samus is m'gal of perpetual shoot'em ups lol

EDIT: I managed to get it to run on 5.0x, but only at about 5 FPS even without sound, still a great achievement considering how little optimization has been done to get it to work better for the Switch

You can turn off the audio in the rom selection screen, that should increase the performance a bit

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
