Homebrew N64 Dynarec Coming soon to Switch/Horizon

[Ty_]

This reminds me I need to resume getting my money's worth on my Everdrive 64 purchase. IMHO legit hardware is the only way to go with the N64.

Mouse/keyboard + 60fps GoldenEye with 1964 says otherwise

Installed latest libnx retroarch it frozen couldn't move around mine on 3.0.0. So fuck that shit gonna wait for a year or 2 til its stable

Eh, I still say otherwise.

Part of the charm and hilarity of Goldeneye was playing on those clunky controllers.

Regardless of controller method, 60fps > 30fps without exception. So is a decent resolution.

It's CPU is designed to run at 2ghz, so these "overclocks" are still technically an underclock
Also most of the heat comes from the GPU

Would opening the Switch and putting some Arctic Silver on the CPU/GPU help with that?

 

[ZachyCatGames]

Interesting, but how is nintendos cooling solution compared to the shield/other tegra systems, form factor could be a major factor in them under clocking too.

Btw, im sure people already have discussed this, I just have nothing better to do.

I haven't seen the shields cooling, but I'd guess its superior to the Switch's, and is probably the reason for the lower GPU clocks. But probably not the reason for the lower CPU clocks, since up to 1.5ghz on the CPU doesnt really seem to effect temps very much

What if you combined overclock and dynarec

Probably, I haven't tried it though

Yes but if your going to do that go with liquid metal. There was a guide here on gbatemp a long time ago, I think it worked pretty well.

Shield tv has a bigger heat sink & fan I think. I'm almost certain the lower clock speed of the cpu has to do with battery life and not heat. Look at the Google pixel c, it runs at 1.9ghz & has inferior cooling compared to the switch.

Then use the Core downloader to get mupen.
Make sure in the core options that u have dynamic_recompiler on.

Whenever things are complete, do you think it will be possible to release as a standalone .nro/without a need for RetroArch {for some that are still on RetroNX}?

No.
RetroNX doesn't support GL.

Any news of HOS dynarec? Hopefully it will run Conker bad fur day or the majoras full speed!!!!

Let 'em have a few days off

Im playing majoras full speed right now

it's true, they need some holidays

how?

 

[ElConsolero]

There are several methods. he did not mention that he play an emulation on switch.

a) he use a system which is able to emulate in full speed
b) he play the n3DS version on new 3DS
c) he use virtual console version on Wii(U)
d) or direct on an old N64

Wtf? No, my switch on retroarch with max OC rofl

 

[ElConsolero]

Would be nice if you share your RA-settings with others.

It works full speed out of the box since the OC released. All i had to do was turn on threaded video as instructed..I thought this was common knowledge?

It is common knowledge, people are just to lazy to do a search on here, on YouTube etc.
