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

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
