Just got my OLED. Really Love it. Haven’t gotten to switch emulation yet, but SNES and other old stuff works great. Bought some horror games because I only like those on controller setups from the couch, not in a computer chair. Loving it so far.
My favorite part is Decky, just customizing the hell out of it. Really fun and capable device for $500.
Playing BioShock for the first time, gone home, from the darkness, evoland, hollow knight, the messenger. All the side scrollers and games best for controllers. Puppet house is sick. Fire watch is next.
Speaking of the M-cpu Macs and RPCS3, I got the old PS3 Demon’s Souls to work pretty well on an M1 + 8GB RAM Mac last year. Pretty nice to be able to play a “PS3 exclusive” Souls game on a Mac considering the total lack of Souls titles available for MacOS.
It won’t. The switch it massively underclocked for battery life.
The nVidia shield tablet it’s based on regularly pushes 2ghz CPU/1ghz GPU. That tablet doesn’t have the cooling solution the Switch has either, it’s just got a crappy elongated heatspreader like M1 macbooks.
But why, some say, the Switch? Why did they choose this as their goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 98 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
They choose to go to mod a Switch. They choose to mod a Switch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
To someone that can upgrade a Nintendo switch to have 8GB of RAM, can install RPCS3 and play PS3 games on it, I would say: “Do whatever you want, you are a god amongst us. I am the peasant that lives the easy life with a SteamDeck”

Buy a steam deck at this point.

Of course a Steam Deck would be better suited, but it’s great to see people pushing the limits of what can be done.
That’s how Linux is gonna be able to save M Macs once they don’t get MacOs updates.

Was, Asahi is practically dead at this point due to differences between the kernel devs and Hactor/Lina over Rust in the kernel.
I’m sure the work isn’t gonna be lost and someone might step up.
I know it’s easy to say as I’m doing nothing to help them, but I’m pretty optimistic work is still gonna get done.
Yeah, here’s an update from after Hector stepped down. Hopefully it stays healthy.
I hope so, M1’s aren’t going to be supported forever by Apple :(
Rog Ally for the win
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Overclocking the switch this much will definitely kill the overall lifespan of it
What if we just add more clocks?
Double time!
