Ryujinx (Switch emulator) now supports resolution scaling

[BoredLemon]

This is not yet merged to master branch, PR can be found here:
https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/1365

This PR introduces a feature and configuration option that lets you scale compatible render targets in a game using a single multiplier value, which you can set via a combo list from 1x to 4x... or if you're feeling brave, any floating point number.

The goal is to scale shadows and screen-bound render targets using the scaling factor.

You can change this value while emulation is running to get a feel for how it affects game graphics and performance. The changes are applied instantly, so have fun with it.

Would like to know the same thing, thanks! Have tried Odyssey on Yuzu but it's quite choppy and you can't have higher resolutions either with the free version.

 

[Zojirushi]

Oh shit, I guess it's time to get into Switch emulation. How hardware intensive is this for higher resolutions?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Looking forward to being a generation away from emulators being much less impactful for Nintendo consoles due to higher resolutions.

 

[The Last One]

Mario Odyssey look AMAZING!

 

[RedShift_]

Damn they got there faster than yuzu?

Also, show us what XC2 looks like without the blurry filter!

 

[Roo]

I'll say it until it happens, Nintendo games desperately need Anti Aliasing like.. yesterday.
it's tragic their magnificent art style gets ruined by jaggies.

 

[Aleh]

I wanna see Xenoblade 2 screenshots of Gormott and Uraya in high res somebody pleeease

 

[secretanchitman]

These look incredible!

 

[TheZynster]

Astral Chain looking mighty fine there

IIRC yuzu also has resolution scaling but only for paid Patreon builds.

 

[Bricktop]

This just highlights what a shame it is that Nintendo hardware is so lacking.

I pray Switch Pro and or Switch 2 have DLSS

Oof

That Astral Chain screenshot looks amazing.

 

[Lant_War]

Those Mario Odyssey shots, christ. Please Nintendo, release a Switch Pro.

 

[Deepo]

Me going back to play on my Switch after seeing those shots:

Lmao for real. I just got done playing some Animal Crossing that I've always been fine with, compared it to the shot in the OP and damn.... Switch needs a resolution bump.

Hopefully DLSS can save the day

 

[orochi91]

I almost wanna cry cuz of how gorgeous Xenoblade looks in those shots.

Nintendo, pls, release Switch Pro already!

 

[Dyle]

For some reason when I read the title I thought it was about scaling the resolution down but this makes a lot more sense

We'll soon be able to enjoy Xenoblade & Xenoblade 2 looking like this:

Absolutely stunning~

My god. I need to see XB2 and Fire Emblem.

 

[orochi91]

Between Ryujinx and Yuzu, which is further along and functioning well, with regards to features/compatibility?

 

[Winnie]

Jesus, this looks amazing.

 

[The Doctor]

Why can't my Melia look like that?!

 

[Chance Hale]

Resolution fucking matters, all the games look unbelievable

 

[tuxfool]

All of this looks so good when freed from the switch's trash tier IQ.

 

[J75]

I regret seeing that Astral Chain shot. IQ was one of my biggest criticism and it's gonna be a struggle to go back after seeing that.

 

[Mifec]

Best way to play Nintendo titles is always PC.

 

[Anth0ny]

4K Mario Odyssey

hnnnnnngggggggggg

 

[Keyouta]

Looks great I really hope Nintendo's next hardware takes DLSS as an advantage, with their so called 10 year partnership.

The art is great and it's tough to back to Switch's poor resolution in comparison.

 

[Zenkuso]

Absolutely stunning~

Truth.

That looks so freakin good.

 

[texhnolyze]

Wow, these look incredible!

Here's a comparison which seems to be missing from the OP:

Is using some kind of motion interpolation or maybe it's the camera in which was recorded, but in actual motion looks awful.

Need to see FE:TH ASAP

The resolution bump makes a huge difference~

Oh yeah this isn't real gameplay, it's a pre-recorded video that's been upscaled to 4K and converted to 60fps, it's just to give an idea on how it could look in 4K / 60fps

 

[Deleted member 3010]

Jesus fucking christ, Odyssey in 4K is some sick shit.

One small step closer to Smash Ultimate rollback goodness.
