Switch emulator Yuzu has pokemon sword/shield running day 1
- Thread starter Troast
- Start date
I mean this is super impressive but "bugs that prevent it from being playable" is not what I would call perfect lmao
Yuzu is an amazing piece of software and will only improve in the future but it has still a long way to go. AFAIK it is not even able to boot every game. TW3 doesn't do anything right now but it will eventually.
Minor compression artifacts that stop it being visible.
That's pretty impressive imo. If they get this fully playable within the year I might just play this on my PC instead.
Yuzu is capable of running Switch games at higher resolutions, right? Now that I've gotten rid of my 720p plasma for a C9 I want to replay all my Switch games on that thing.

User Warned: Equating emulation to piracy
"gonna play this on PC instead" I guess piracy is openly being encouraged now
you can't even play it right now, no one is going to pirate it
That didn't take long. Emulation =/= piracy
I played Demon's Souls on PC with a copy of the game I bought and dumped, personally. Theoretically, I could've done the same with Pokemon, as I have a launch Switch that I *could* hack and make a dump of my copy of Pokemon.
Emulation != piracy
It might not perfect, but it is indeed an absurd step forward for emulation, like OP said. I don't think I've ever seen a game being even bootable on an emulator on launch day.
Piracy and other issues aside that some users might have, it's a huge achievement.

Side question about this stuff , can someone potentially play these hacked versions online? Just wondering because if people are going this far too emulate brand new games what's stopping them from completely modding them? I'd hate for some hacked shit to get traded in something like wonder trade and fuck up other people's games.
this is potentially an issue with all online games on every platform.
The Switch itself was hacked wide open long ago. Any widespread hacking that causes other people problems will be done on the original hardware.
Why would they use a performance intensive emulator to do anything when they can just modify the software on their switch with a fraction of the effort?
I totally get that emulation "isn't" a lot of things.
Fully understand.
It's that its actual definition keeps changing and apparently is whatever the last person I'm arguing with online about it says it is.
I have a lot of unpopular opinions on the subject.

What the fuck? I'm not pirating anything. If Yuzu runs Pokemon well then I'll make a dump of my own cart and play it there.
I don't understand why you're beating around the bush but thanks for the non answer.
it depends on what kind of safety and checks is coded in the game, less about entry
I'm not familiar with this Switch emulator so I'm curious if any of the other games running on it are capable of such things. Being able to connect online and Nintendo being none the wiser that is.
playing it on an emulator isn't inherently piracy. people can rip the game
I understand the claim, but i've already been reported apparently.
I don't know why you are so afraid with the emulator but don't worry, at the present Yuzu emulator can't go online.
Why would anyone run this on a emulator that makes the game unplayable when they can play it perfectly on Switch? Does people buy Switch games without having a Switch?!
User warned: equating emulation with piracy
I honestly think the staff of this website/forum have a duty to not allow any talk of current gen emulators.
You all know what this creates.
There are devs on this board and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate the 'hey, download our game for free for your PC' announcements.
