My son still needs to figure out how to drive straight lol but he’s rocking it at Paper Mario TTYD.
God bless the reverse engineers and emulator developers.
The dolphin team is unironically a group of some of the best software engineers I can think of, solving problems outside the scope of basically any standard industry practice for free and getting results
The RPCS3 team who figured out how to emulate the wacky core design of the PS3 are truly mentally unwell and I hope they never get better because the world needs more people like them.
The blog post they did showing how they do a sort of regression testing is still some of the coolest devops I’ve seen.
Check the FifoCI stuff here.
Switch games look and run better on PC too.
Very true, Sword and Shield at 60fps is vastly superior to the 20-30 fps you get on Switch.
Not to mention that 60 FPS is at 4K.
Just as Nintendo nintended.
They Nintend to do what Nintendon’t.
Genuine question because I like retro games, what is the point of 4k here? It’s blocky pixelated Mario kart, is there mods to update textures or something?

As others have mentioned, there are two schools of thought.
Crisp 4K rendering, no jagged lines, higher details added in textures, etc
Or emulating the look of a CRT by using high density displays to create the same look.
https://youtu.be/-B5ebucZ69s?si=0lDLAWdMlN77VQen goes into it a bit. This shows off a device for actual consoles. But the same principal applies when doing it in software for emulators.
I’m a bit in both worlds. I think that the split is at HD games. Up to SNES a CRT really makes things look as they were designed, but once you reach 3D games the low rez really feels like a limitation game designers had to deal with.
This is top tier parenting
I don’t agree. Graphics on older consoles was designed to look good on CRT displays and can look really bad on newer ones. At best this is negligence.
Most emulators have video rendering filters for this kind of concern; they have for a long time. SNES9X from more than a decade ago already implemented.
This is GameCube on Dolphin which re renders the whole game is 4K. No pixels visible.
Your MacBook display isn’t 4k, buddy.
I’m surprised to see this so downvoted in this community. Maybe people missed the sarcasm in that last bit, lol
Considering some of the absolutely braindead honest takes on the Internet, it’s hard to tell if it’s sarcasm.
4k… 10 inch screen…weird flex but okay
It’s actually 4x resolution on this screen. I have a 4K 55” on the wall in front but there was some lag and we unplugged it.
Sorry man, I was in a bad mood (quitting smoking) , just hanging shit on a random on the internet… I love video games because you can play however you want to play, as long as you’re having fun bro… I hope you have an awesome day mate
I see you Apple Playcube and raise you my Google PlayBox
An then there’s my Apple iDSphone
I have a foldable phone (Samsung Z Fold 3), which unironically works out perfectly for DS and 2DS games. The only thing missing is the 3D.
