You can emulate a SNES with 100% speed on a Ras Pi 1.įinally the Nintendo Switch is a glorified Android tablet running a custom OS and we know exactly how to emulate tablets already. It's important to remember, Dolphin is open source and developed for free by volunteers while CEMU has only 2 developers who do it closed source and take Patreon donations to fund the development. CEMU is very much community lead, the developer asks Patreon members to suggest features and incorporates them (if possible) which is why it has that feature so quickly. When the Wii released Dolphin was already capable of running many games in a semi playable state from pretty much day 1 (obviously it took time to work out how to read and rip Wii game discs and Dolphin had to be coded to deal with the filesystem and filetypes etc).Īlso the Dolphin team never really prioritised "improving" games over the original hardware, that feature didn't come till later in the emulators life (it was 2011/2012 before they added custom textures iirc), that was a design choice made by the dev team. You differentiated between GC & Wii when talking about Dolphin? Why? From a hardware standpoint the GameCube and Wii are identical, literally the only difference is an overclock on the CPU & GPU in the Wii. CEMU already offers better FPS, better resolution and improved texture support over the native system and that's for an emulator thats a little over 3 years old and is emulating a one gen old system. I'm sorry but what? The Wii U is pretty much exactly six years old (almost to the day) and already 47% of all titles are playable or perfectly playable (and once you remove virtual console titles that run on emulator the number is closer to 75%). Meanwhile the switch hardware has been pushed beyond its limits.

Keep in mind that Cemu didn't actually start getting time put into it until the release of this game.Īlso show me a clip of the wii u or switch version that runs at a stable 60 fps, where as at this current moment my setup can run the game at 1080p averaging about 90fps and it will only get better from here on. I'm lost to your logic that says it takes 6-8 years for an emulator to become usable, last time I checked it only took about a year after the game's release for the emulation to be up to my standards. So you need to wait at least 6-8 years, or so (averaging based on past consoles) before you can START and say "Yea, the game runs and looks better". And you still need a relatively beats of system, including when using a good SNES emulator. Right now, Switch emulator, even WiiU, Wii, and GameCube still struggle to achieve that beside on select games (mostly GameCube, due to the longer work time on the emulator). but again, it takes AGES before you get that. and how they are important for you and performance.
