Since the Deck will apparently run Switch games better than the Switch can (according to some on this forum)

Does it mean that going forward it doesn't matter if Switch games have poor frame-rate,

Cause the Deck will run them at a flawless 60fps anyway?

 

[Sean Mirrsen]

I mean. If you're okay with basically piracy, then yeah. At least up to a point.

I don't think Switch emulators are that performant.

Stop making entire threads based on being butthurt.

Yet to be seen if it can run everything flawlessly. but it will emulate switch games without issue's at 30 fps for sure.

Can play Nintendo with my deck?

I miss my mom,

Thank you for asking

 

[KAL2006]

Had no idea Switch emulation was that good. Have you got any YouTube video links of Switch games running on emulators fullspeed with no glitches, I'd like to check them out as you created a thread confirming good switch emulation so I assume you are correct in this

 

[MadViking]

It's not yet out. How is anyone here supposed to know it?

Good estimates can be made from the Ruben chip.

depending on where u live, if u buy the game for the switch its totally legal to play the game emulated if the emulator isnt using anything from the original console.

no wrong.

some games..
yes emulation of ds 3ds n64 gamecube wii wii u switch can be dope..

But the later the gen the more bugs its has..
treat Emulating switch games on the deck like an extra..

Don’t buy a deck because you want to play switch games.

buy a switch instead

This is a bare-bones PC and it's running 4k 35-45fps. If you want 60fps, lower the resolution. Even then you're getting 1080p 60fps out of a bare-bones 1060 GPU, which is old as hell.


Double fps and higher resolution





4k

That's the Wii U emulator Cemu, not a Switch emulator.

 

[Azelover]

The industry has been turned upside down..

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

If i were Valve, i would be shure to make Switch games running ok on Deck!

 

[Romulus]

Which doesn't matter if you want to play Botw

 

[Antwix]

Natively play PC/steam
Emulate Switch with Yuzu
Emulate WiiU with Cemu
Emulate the rest with retroarch
Emulate PS4/PS5 with VLC

Why would valve want to take unofficially supported emulation seriously especially when it comes to a company thats known for suing the shit out of sites for trying?

1060 has almost 4TF, it's still around 3 times faster than Deck GPU

[Fbh]

Didn't know Switch emulation was that well optimized.

I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it can emulate Switch games at 30fps, but I doubt 60fps is likely (on games that aren't 60fps on Switch).
Are there any videos of the emulator running on similar hardware to the Switch?

Taken from a post I did in another thread...
(And this is on a 5 months old yuzu build. The improvement done since then (posted in this thread), I have not seen anyone post a youtube video testing on something as a Aya Neo device)

Aya Neo running Yuzu + Super Mario Odyssey

GPU	Radeon RX Vega 6
Display	7-inch 1280 x 800 (16:10)
RAM	16 GB LPDDR4X-4266 Dual Channel
Ports	3x USB-C (2x DP and PD), 3.5 mm combo audio
Battery	47 Wh

Nope, it doesn't if that's the only game you want to play. But if someone is interested in other games passing off a Wii U emulator rather than showing how Switch emulation would run is disingenuous.

 

[spons]

Yeah RPCS3 is barely going to work on the thing. I'm in day one for emulation on the Deck but some people need to lower their expectations.
Then again, Persona 5 somewhat worked on my Haswell processor so I imagine it would at least run on this.

1060 has almost 4TF, it's still around 3 times faster than Deck GPU

GPU is largely irrelevant for emulation at the resolution of the Steam Deck. PS3/Switch is going to ravage the CPU tho.

 

[Kenpachii]

Switch emulation and wii-u emulation see massive improvements monthly. another big build is incoming that again will speed things up drastically. The emulators can run on potato hardware now without much effort.

For example botw is perfectly playable at 30fps 1080p, on a low end apu.

Steam deck will have probably no issue's running it at original speeds and even more at 720p. Also don't forget that those emulator teams will work on the deck the moment it gets released so they will even optimize for that.

i could see deck being a huge ask push from patreon suscriber

For sure, as the current emulator is already well optimized to the point people don't really care for a 100% increase in performance as it already runs there shit anyway. With the deck it will be interesting to see how well they optimize for it. Probably won't take them long. probably even the same day to have a build going that is optimized.

That's actually pretty good.

But I'ma take a wild guess and say that a few of Nintendo's games are the most optimized and many others just dont work or perform terribly.

Emulation is just way too janky usually to be reliable for any remotely new system outside of the games the people who create the emulators for basically write custom emulation for.

 

[existensmaximum]

You know Switch emulation is not that good yet, right? Neither performance nor compatibility.

 

[Ritsumei2020]

No tbh I have no idea, I didn't bother with it too much cause I have a Switch and the games that I wanted to play are not too bad on the Switch itself.

But some people here said the Deck would run Switch games better than the Switch, so maybe games like Zelda AoC could be better played on the Deck?

 

[Romulus]

Nope, it doesn't if that's the only game you want to play. But if someone is interested in other games passing off a Wii U emulator rather than showing how Switch emulation would run is disingenuous.

Well, there are just options basically, there are games on both Wii U and Switch and you can choose between either. you're not limited to just BoTw

 

[Romulus]

1060 has almost 4TF, it's still around 3 times faster than Deck GPU

Tefaflops are mostly wasted and tied to GPU more so, and those were running at 1080p with far less RAM than the Deck. You'll get 60fps at 720p with the deck

 

[ShirAhava]

Emulate PS4/PS5 with VLC

If Deck can emulate Switch I'd retire my Switch completetly

 

[Romulus]

If Deck can emulate Switch I'd retire my Switch completetly

The advantage is there are a couple of options that are always improving. There are two main emulators for the switch that some run games the other doesn't, so if you get both it just increases your chances of running more.

Not only that, emulation like Gamecube will be incredibly easy compared to Switch, which I think barely works on Switch? Or not at all last I heard. Anyway stuff like N64, PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, basically emulation wise will be vastly better on the Deck

Day one from the Deck you'll have access to at least 20x more games than switch, and that's before they get the emulators working.

Nintendo lawyers watching this thread.

Stop making entire threads based on being butthurt.

the GPDwin 3 which is less powerful runs Switch games at about Switch performance. and the Yuzu emulator can play retail games since 2019

 

[FStubbs]

1060 has almost 4TF, it's still around 3 times faster than Deck GPU

People in the other topics led me to believe that architectural improvements made the Deck more powerful than the 1060.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Why would valve want to take unofficially supported emulation seriously especially when it comes to a company thats known for suing the shit out of sites for trying?

Because emulators are legals And it'll be so funny to watch!
You know there's Retroarch support on XSS/X and PSX games can run up to 4K, right?

How many Nintendo hardwares will it emulate? What about PSVITA? And the original XBOX? I just can't wait to see how those emulators running on Deck!

 

[Ritsumei2020]

Apparently the Deck can run games better than a 5700xt

At least thats what people were saying

Absolutely, but let's not pretend that the people talking about emulating them on their Deck have a Switch or every game that they're going to emulate.

 

[baphomet]

The ~100 million switches out there compared to a fraction of a million that will have a Deck says they actually most likely will own a Switch.

 

[MrFunSocks]

I doubt it tbh. Most of the people that buy a Deck are going to be people with big Steam collections. The overlap of those people and those with switches, especially switches that are on the correct firmware etc needed to be able to get an emulator to work legally, would be tiny.

Again - lets not pretend that the majority of people using the Deck to emulate games aren't going to be pirating games illegally. We're not idiots.
