The (pre-order) nitro deck + will have an HDMI dongle for TV play. ETA April.

repiv posted:

probably not, the switch doesn't output standard HDMI over it's USB port

it actually puts out displayport and the dock converts it to HDMI for reasons, and that'll be what the dongle that comes with the ND+ is also doing

Confirmed you cannot just now.

Yeah that kinda explains why they went on sale now, doesn't it?
God drat it.
I just saw their controllers. Now I have to get the Blossom and Crystal red ones in addition to the Nitro Deck +. But as soon as I buy one, the clurple one will be announced.

It's only 70 bux? This should have come out on the first year of the Switch not the last year.

i feel like the purpose of having a transparent case is lost on an exterior controller shell. the transparent white in particular makes it look cheap as poo poo. lol that they're not doing any other colors

Is it possible in ES to have a custom collection not sort or retain whatever order I add them in? I'm trying to figure out if I can add gerstmann's nintendo rankings as a collection and keep it in order but the only way I can think of is to rename the game with a number in the front because you can't have it not sort the list of games in the collection.

im mostly just confused as to why nintendo waited so long to do this, the switch just turned 7 years old, it's going to be replaced soon anyway

I think it's a tell that the Switch 2 will probably be very similar from a code perspective

it probably will, we're reasonably sure it's going to be another nvidia tegra system, but that hardly matters until it gets jailbroken so games can be dumped

Cause some Nintendo intern brought a $150-200 Retroid 4 and show the Nintendo boss, whoever that Yakuza looking guy is if he is still alive, and showed him how easy it is to play Switch game of a small 4.7" compact device.

They can always add some stupid hardware features like a 2nd or 3rd screen to make emulation harder.

I just happened to download the nightly Citra last night because I was tinkering with it on my handheld, I have citra-android-universal-20240303-0ff3440.apk but nowhere to upload it.

Someone had posted the last Yuzu apk on the Yuzu discord but predictably that's a flood of chatter right now.

I feel like this is a bigger deal for 3ds emulation than switch, switch still has ryujinx, are there any other 3ds emulators comparable to citra?

And if it's true that the yuzu/citra devs were in fact using official SDKs for development and not clean-rooming it, probably the source code can't be forked or used again either

I'm surprised that Yuzu had $2.4 million lying around to pay in a settlement and they still decided to settle immediately despite previous cases concerning emulators

I'm inclined to believe this means there were reasons they knew they were hosed

Can the individual programmer start his own emulator. It's a shame either way. Yuzu has been progressing really well for the last year.

no, like they specifically said in the settlement that none of them can touch it anymore and they can't create a new company to resume making it

What a bummer. But is the code available for others to continue?

Maybe these yuzu guys can work on a ps2 emulator?

repiv
Aug 13, 2009

it was open source so yes anyone else can pick it up

without the money coming in from patreon or the institutional knowledge of the original core devs the development will probably take a while to get going again though

I think about it some more, I am actually okay with this settlement. Maybe the Yuzu lawyer is poo poo but the end result is that Nintendo make sure the Yuzu developers didn't make any money of the their pet project, and can't continue.

But, their works will live on, somebody else will pick it up. That's the true spirit of open source. Hell we may get save state sooner from different fork. Also providing support back to we poor android 10 users.
