If I can legally buy a copy and get it running on my hardware, I will gladly do so. I am not going to buy inferior hardware to play a game. I have a 5900X/RX6800XT CPU/GPU combo with 32GB and a 2TB PCIE4 NVME all to drive a 43in 4K AORUS monitor. I still haven't played it, but I'll get around to it some time probably this year.

I bought a Wii-U copy of Breath of the Wild a few years ago because I hadn't bothered to look into how much trouble it was to get a legal copy working with CEMU. To play legally, you both require an actual hackable switch's key and your own dumps from a hacked switch.Īlso, Nintendo is one of the most anti-consumer companies to exist in the gaming industry right now. Anyone who pirates wasn't going to buy the game to begin with for the most part, nor were they going to buy the console. We had never known an emulator that emulates a console still on sale.Įmulators don't cost them anything. Quoting: legluondunetThe gap between today's consoles and working emulators is narrowing. The Linux side of yuzu got some nice improvements too like fixing up the initialization of the Vulkan swapchain on Wayland, making it work better for NVIDIA GPU owners and also a crash with Flatpak was solved too. It needs more testing for them to be sure where to enable it. Plenty more was mentioned like asynchronous presentation with Vulkan, which is behind a tickbox, because in some cases it might make frametimes less consistent but for a lot of people it might actually make things smoother. They said nothing special is needed to get this boost, you just need to be up to date and set GPU accuracy to "Normal". Just look at these differences (click to enlarge): The result is that you could see up to 87% better performance, although they said for most people it will probably be about 50%. In their April 2023 progress report, they talked about a big performance improvement landing thanks to a rewrite of most of their old buffer cache code, plus work in other areas. Emulation coding is tricky business done by some people that are clearly 100x smarter than I am, and now the Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu devs are just showing off.
