I'm looking for this collection, not for the games themselves but the way how they been ported on the switch
is it emulation like GBA, SNES etc on 3DS or new build

We don't know if the games will be emulated or ported. My hunch is all or some of them have been ported.
Agree, emulation is just not stable enough on those systems. They would have to do so much back end work for only one title each, seems like a bad call.

Based on DF's analysis of Galaxy on the Shield TV in China, that has some performance issues, and that was running on the same Tegra X1 as the Switch but at 2Ghz. Nintendo would certainly not force the Switch to run at that speed during gameplay. This makes me believe that the game (and Sunshine) may not be emulated on the Switch.

N64 games area already emulated we have retroarch that can play N64 games (not 100% perfect but emulated)
Gamecube + Wii games can be played via Lakka (currently cant use dock mode) and no Horizon option yet

These things can already be done currently no new dev is working on a proper gamecube + wii emulator for the horizon

What's there to figure out though? Couldn't we just exchange "rom:/MarioSunshine/Super_Mario_Sunshine_Stardust-trimmed.gcm" with any other gamecube-.gcm rom?
Maybe prototype through LayeredFS and all that jazz.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it
