Switch going to be conservative, meanwhile the deck clones are going all out. Wonder how those will run switch 2 emulators.

Kind of tangential, but can you do local multiplayer when emulating the switch on a steam deck. Like can you have a 4 player Mario kart game?

Sure. Just need to use some external controllers obviously.

It probably won’t work to do local multiplayer with multiple consoles easily.

I don’t see why you couldn’t. Just connect multiple controllers and configure accordingly.

I regularly emulate Switch games on my RoG Ally Z1E, and it pulls it off so fucking well, I haven’t touched my Switch since I got the thing (it easily runs every title I’ve thrown at it at 60fps+higher res, plus I have the ability to mod games if I need to.)

I can’t imagine it’ll be too difficult for them to emulate Switch 2 games, assuming Nintendo don’t catch on to emulation developers too early.

They will probably use some version of DLSS that’s hard to emulate.

Emulators will just run at higher resolutions instead of blurry upscaling anyway.

Then we just disable it, and run the DLSS natively.

If it’s possible, it might be some proprietary version that games can’t run without.

Honestly I’ll “take” a low power switch 2 with the expectation of eventually emulating it with enhancements.

Well, considering Nintendo is on a war path and legally threatening emulator devs, I doubt anyone will even attempt a Switch 2 emulator.

I’d put everything I own and my literal life betting someone will make one. It’s happened for literally everything else, the switch 2 won’t be different.

Would be hard going after devs that don’t blatantly make money off it like Yuzu did. Would also be pretty hard going after anonymous devs not using US based version control or just private. Lot of countries don’t care about DMCA either. Yuzu was just very stupid but Nintendo in the worst case isn’t all powerful either.

Cemu doesn’t seem to have a problem with profitability. The litigation was about circumvention of encryption and blatant piracy advocation.

You underestimate how masochistic Nintendo fans are.

They will be working, Ninjas be damned.

Yuzu is still going. Shit got forked thousands of times the whole week leading up to the takedown. If the Nintendorks think that shit is dead, they have missed the entire point of open source.
