    *Spyro 3
    *1.2GHz on V2/OLED

  2. 16:13 Should be noted that Ship of Harkinian already has a native Switch port; no Linux roundabout required. But it's neat that you can do this!

  3. This video just shows how underrated switch hardware is. I understand that Nintendo puts a little bit of limitation on the hardware so the console doesn't burn down, but damn, it's just too much underclock (even in docked mode)…

    It's disgusting how some switch games run horrible at low resolutions knowing that the hardware could actually do much more.

    Hope that for switch 2 this isn't like that…

  4. There is a version of linux where yuzu is built directly into the kernel and meant to be run on arm devices. This removes the emulation overhead if you run it on switch as it will run the code natively.

  5. speaking of nintendo old hardware that still holds up i've got a story, so i lost the charger for my DSi a while back so i couldn't play games on it for a while, i decided to emulate heaven rhythm game on my iphone which requires precise input to get it right, i thought my reflexes sucked but then i found my DSi charger so i charged it up finally and played the same game, guess what… the DSi was so precise with the stylus it was scary, tapping that screen and hearing the sound at the same exact time. it amazed me because this thing was manufactured in 2007 and did something that a device probably 20 times more powerful couldn't do.

  6. This is just a Tutorial on how to install ubuntu and display 4k kind of click baiting

  7. The most interesting thing in this video for me is the Switch emulating a Switch. Now you can tell Steam Deck owners the Switch can do that too haha.

  8. what's the point of running "pong" at 8k? ,i mean no point in running games in 4k if you cant run them in full graphics and textures ,if the switch could do 4k the games would be bigger and not fit on the switch cards ,sure there are bigger cards now but then they would probably be more expensive

  9. it's crazy that super mario 64 runs so well on the stock switch at 4k in 16:9 but nintendo gave us a 4:3 version at 720p
