Man, Citron and Eden advance really fast, I have a phone aith Snapdragon 7 and I can run quite a lot of games with good fps, even if my battery drains pretty fast while emulating Switch games. What Nintendo did for the Switch 2 also helped a lot.

What nintendo did? I didnt see this news about it.

Since Switch 2 can play Switch 1 games through software emulation, Nintendo updated some of their games to run better. I think they updated Mario Kart 8 to be a 64bit game which made it easier to emulate. I sure some third party games also had to receive updates so they run better on the Switch 2

I was trying to see if this thing has a compatibility list and I found this instead. The post dates back to March so maybe things have changed since then but I'd be cautious all the same.

Havent tried it yet ill be honest as ive got the switch OLED but ive got it on a couple of my hard drives.

They need to fix UE4 games like Shin Megami Tensei V; It has got major graphical glitches... Even though Eden doesnt have as much problems, still has got some bugs on some enemy models.

I can't wait until Switch 2 emulation becomes a thing. I just got a switch 2 and that thing fucking sucks. If I could emulate the games elsewhere I would sell this fucking thing.

I got as far as "enter encryption keys" or something and was like, "you know, I got a lot of other stuff I can play."

Haha so you bought a Switch 2 and now realized its a piece of shit? Can you return it?
But what is so bad about it?
I dont like portable systems because of their tiny screen, i cant see shit there and the immersion is non existent as well.

if you think its bad, when why would you want to emulate its games?

What kind of question is that? My issues with the hardware or Nintendo's overbearing control have nothing to do with the games.

I don't like all the DRM crap. I don't like how I can't back up my save files on physical media. I don't like owning a system that I can't do what I want with it. Sadly, in this day and age that means that you need to mod or hack the system, like many people did with the Switch 1.

Anyway, I finally sorted out this crap with the primary system nonsense. The sad thing is I don't even remember what I did exactly. I played Donkey Kong Bonanza for a while and it's fun. It doesn't feel like a classic like Super Mario Bros. Odyssey or Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but it's fun and destroying everything in the environment is so addicting it makes you forget to actually play the game.

But man I wasn't prepared for all the BS I had to do before I could use the system. Nintendo is as bad as Microsoft with their obnoxious Windows 11 operating system.

For anyone who doesn't have an android gaming device like the Odin2 Portal or Retroid Pocket 5, it's like night and day. You just turn on those devices, maybe go through a few simple settings and you're ready to use your device in like 5 minutes. AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT WITH IT. This is how ALL gaming devices should be. Android devices are the future, not mini PCs or Steam decks.

It probably won't happen any time soon, if at all, but someone either figuring out how to hack/mod the Switch 2 or getting an effective Switch 2 emulator going would be a god send. The Switch 1 was actually fun to use once you got it untethered from all of Nintendo's bullshit.

I wish people could hack the PS5 too honestly.
