This is not a troll post and I hate nobody. (I know, the title may sound like it is.)

This year I got into Switch emulation for first time and finished Breath of the Wild with 130 hours on Yuzu, with 60 fps patch and higher resolution. Besides some control issues on very specific shrines, most of the time it was a smooth experience. I fully switched to Ryujinx after it and now started playing Tears of the Kingdom. Here are my issues with it after playing for over 10 hours on Ryujinx:

  • minor: distracting graphical issues all over the place on ground and walls texture corners, but I can live with that and its more or less depending on the angle and places
  • major: sometimes game freezes and crashes randomly on the overworld map
  • showstopper: could not progress any longer, on a specific mission where I had to use the camera it just didn't want to recognize the photo of the statue

I tried different Roms for the game, with and without mods, with and without different patches (1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1) and different settings on the emulator. Always same problems, nothing could resolve for me. Then I copied my save file to Yuzu and tried the game there. Results after playing game for 6 hours on it:

  • very minor: no longer those graphical issues, but light blinking issues when traveling, so much less distracting and less active
  • safe: no freezes happen anymore
  • progress: instant progress on the place with the photo, I could hear the audio that was missing on Ryujinx, I tried 10 different images on Ryujinx to do exact same photo but it did not work, it only works on Yuzu

My PC System:

  • OS: Linux
  • GPU: AMD 7600
  • CPU: AMD 7700X

Does anyone have similar experience? I searched lot, but could not find any other solution and gave up after days. Again, please this i not a war. I just share my experience. I play Super Mario Wonder on Ryujinx and its a perfect experience so far and want to keep using it as my main Switch emulator. I also like the fact that addons (patches, updates and mods) are not installed on the NAND, but I just point to the place where they are without installing.

Sharing this for those who've wanted to receive Ryujinx news in their RSS feed reader. I couldn't find an official RSS feed for Ryujinx anywhere online while hunting around. I asked the AI in Brave Search, and it somehow new the address to the RSS feed, which is https://blog.ryujinx.org/rss

So, i want to get a smaller handheld but am unsure which.

I want something pocketable but still bug enough for good controls (small, not micro)

Good controls

Can play up to at least some ps1

Good firmware (stock or otherwise)

Under 70 euros (the cheaper the better)

Am I asking too much out if a budget device?

Was looking at the 35xxsp

Like, is there any way for an emu to play with a separate device with the same ROM and emu?

I absolutely love MinUI on my RG35XXSP, but I hated that it turned the power LED off. Initially I tried to fiddle with just disabling the part of the MinUI boot that turned off the LED, but then I realized that putting the console to sleep and turning it back on disabled the LED anyway. That was baked into the OS, and I didn’t want to recompile the whole thing just to disable that.

Enter this tool. It contains a script that gets set to run during boot to turn on the power LED and keep it on. It can also undo all of its changes by running the tool again. Since it does modify system files, I also figured out how to recover from any potential issues. I was unable to cause any significant issues during my testing, but the recovery plan is there nonetheless. Full documentation is available on the repo.

Let there be light!

Hello,

I have noticed that Lime3DS and Citra have netplay for their emulators, however, Android doesn't have a network setting to configure networking.

I do not have another device to test 2 Android phones. I noticed a room is required to use netwoking and is avalible on PC to configure rather than on Android.

Am I missing something? Could I have netplay on 2 Android phones or netplay on a real 3DS?

I have been using Delta on iOS for my Gameboy gaming, and I have now moved to Android and am now trying to use Lemuroid. It doesn't accept Delta's .sav files, and instead uses .gb.slot1/.gb.slot2/etc. files. Is there a way to convert between them?

So. We all know there's like 60 yuzu forks. Which are maintained if any?

I wanna run street fighter alpha antalogy but there are major visual glitches and slowdown

High performance mode. For example the background loads random assets. It could be ROM corruption but I'm not sure

I have created a list of all the unofficial console PC ports (that are based on Recompilation or Decompilation) I know about, along with easy-to-install versions that have been marked with a star ⭐.

Additionally, I have included short installation tutorials on how to install them. My plan is to keep this list up to date and add new finished PC ports in the future.
