the left image is of a native port recompiled for PC, and the right one is an emulator being developed to run Switch 2 games
It takes like 3 clicks to get OoT running on windows. Was playing yesterday and it works great.
Nintendo honestly deserves this. But I still think that majority of people are too lazy and this won’t hurt sales much.
It won’t. It never does.
I, for one, would have to spend a lot more than the $510 + tax I did for a Switch 2 and the game to get a computer that could run it well.
I get a lot of stuttering. Seems its constantly building shaders.
I mean, it’s always great to fuck with Nintendo, they are scum, buuut… I will proceed to not touch those things with a pole the diameter of the universe. Fuck this vibecoded trash.
I don’t think it’s vibe coded, though. Real people who’ve put work into emulator projects are going at it with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.
But the “ai” helped them get access to the console. I’m assuming most,if not all, decompiles needed it bc of the speed which it was done. But you can use an emulator instead.
It’s actually very interesting bc they didn’t even need root access. This pulls everything without decryption. No security keys are needed.
Modern Vintage Gamer put up a video yesterday talking about it, and the short version is that 90% of the work was already done by the Yuzu team. The Switch 2 still runs Horizon OS, still runs a Tegra architecture, so the majority of the work getting Switch 2 titles to run is in converting new instructions and stuff.
PC G*mers AI vibe coding an emulator for a game they claim to never have wanted.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad
