Homebrew Discussion (WIP) Dolphin Emulator for the Switch by Jhiral

[mikey420]

Is this a native port or is there it for Linux on the switch?

 

[Rabbid4240]

I think you need to get that checked out then lol

"right now" lmao

Yes, it's for Lakka. It's Linux, but specifically designed just to emulate stuff through Retroarch. Doesn't have sound support yet.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

why is everyone so against linux/lakka?

honestly asking because i don't know

No sound support.

I'm not "against" it, per se, I just think it's wildly inconvenient and I hope that it doesn't set a precedent for most homebrew being on Linux instead of Horizon. Once we get 3D acceleration on Horizon I think it will be fantastic though.

Its just inconvenient. You have to reboot and re enter RCM every time you want to use it, and because of the battery desync and lack of sleep mode, you can't use it on your switch for a long time. Im just hoping for GL/Vulkan in hekate so i can use this then.

The battery desync has been fixed for several days, but yeah, still no sleep mode and still dependent on RCM.

There was no sound in the video

and how do you suppose one captures bluetooth audio for a video? (EDIT: well, now that I think about it, he could have paired it with a powered speaker IF he had one available...)

Yes, it's for Lakka. It's Linux, but specifically designed just to emulate stuff through Retroarch. Doesn't have sound support yet.

Yes it does. Via bluetooth. RTFM.

How do I setup Bluetooth audio ?

[LIST=1]
[*]Make sure that Audio driver is set to pulse and Audio and Audio sync are enabled
[*]Enable Bluetooth in Services
[*]Pair your headset using SSH : (use Putty on Windows, credentials are root and root)
[LIST=1]
[*]bluetoothctl
[*]agent on
[*]scan on
[*]Wait for your headset to show up and see its MAC address
[*]pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, put the correct MAC address (protip : use tab-completion)
[*]trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
[*]connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
[/LIST]
[*]If the audio is choppy, make sure to update the boot/tegra210-nintendo-switch.dtb file on your SD card (take the one from the latest update archive)
[*]After a reboot, it should autoconnect to your device if it’s available and still paired
[/LIST]

We’re not going to see a native Horizon version until a GL driver is ported. The appeal of Linux is that most of the Tegra drivers already exist.

Bounty now claimed, so what next? How does this help the release of Dolphin for Switch?

 

[natinusala]

It means it's done and all backers should accept the claim

 

[mypetfrog]

Yeah, i get that but how does it help the Switch version development?

 

[natinusala]

Because there's no Switch version, the port is done and it works on the Switch

OK I'm an old gamer, not a coder.... So help an obvious n00b out. HOW does this now move from the current situation to a downloadable .nro ?

Its a step closer to a Horizon version for the simple reason that it is now running on the Switch hardware.

OK thanks, but how to run this on switch hardware?

[21:10] aliaspider: if you have vulkan and GL it will be easy to make it work
[21:10] m4xw: aight
[21:10] m4xw: thats what i wanna hear
[21:11] aliaspider: the only thing that might not be there by default are C++ threads but that is also easy to add
[21:11] aliaspider: and will be needed for other codebases as well

You run Lakka which is a Linux distribution.

It doesn't have sound tho.

Wait, there's already a way to run Dolphin?

Yeah thx, Lakka was running before this, it's the native homebrew .nro version we're looking forward to, so can be run inside sx os.

Wonder what are the chances of it running Rogue Squadron
