Switch 2 Emulators are running on PC

[erek]

"Switch 2 Emulation on PC is already here, and its progressing much faster than I expected, - how does it even work? In short, Switch 2 Emulation leverages from already mature Switch 1 emulation code, documented Nvidia Ampere information and with modern AI technology it can patch in the missing pieces in order to make it an accurate Switch 2 experience on hardware thats powerful enough. There is still a long way to go but progress is already way beyond what many expected. Let's discuss how this all works in today's episode."

I bought a Switch 2 Zelda edition just a week ago and within that ONE week we get a recompile of Ocarina of Time for PC. WTF man. It wasn't supposed to be that fast. Seriously regretting this purchase.

I wouldn't be shocked if we get a vibe-coded GTAVI on PC before Rockstar officially releases it. This is going to be a thing going forward.

All this is just going to push all these companies to game streaming faster. The up coming generation of gaming is going to be the last of its kind.

Can't wait till all this shit fails and we get back to kids actually playing together. Well, I can dream anyway.

As far as i can tell, none of them run all that well. I have an AMD GPU so it'd be even worse. I'm playing on switch 2, my only complaint is the shoddy upscaling.

I gave the Hookshot recomp a brief go. 7800X3D, 4090, 4k, no frame gen.

Speedran from intro area -> castle -> kakariko village. Castle town was the only area where my frame rate seemed to tank. There's a lot going on there with all the NPCs. Otherwise it was running very smooth and I could see myself playing through the whole game assuming the performance stays consistent. Let me tell you the resolution jump between the Switch 2 and PC absolutely blew me away. Made the Switch 2 look like 480p.

I also gave the "space animals" recomp a go and that one was absolute butter.
