So apparently Yuzu EA can already run Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
- Thread starter TeHi & BuSp
- Start date
Honestly I'm personally a bit iffy on emulating/ripping brand new games but what you'll need to do is mod a switch for homebrew and install a dumping application. Some quick looking around it appears NXDUMP tool is the current go to https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool/releases/tag/v1.1.10
Considering the game launched yesterday, it is pretty insane.
But yeah, no substitute for the real thing.
You gotta have a Switch to dump the games, so you'd have to get one anyway.
Don't need to buy one if you have a friend with a hacked switch

Yeah, Dolphin was limited to a single core, and it still is mainly single core with some stuff offloaded to another core. The fact is that the Wii has a single core CPU, and you can't use multiple cores to emulate only one (or I mean, you could, but good luck). Switch is multicore (3 if I remember correctly), so you can use 3 cores for it.
Cool thanks for the help. I wouldn't normally be interested in doing this, but playing Xenoblade in a higher resolution would make a huge difference to me, so I'm considering it!
Not salty at all. Just funny how some people completely misunderstand why Nintendo (and other companies') consoles are successful and why emulation is a niche and inconvenient solution for most people.
If only Nintendo would just release a standalone console version of the switch powerful enough to display everything at 4k 60 with great image quality....if they were willing to make a straight-up portable, I don't see why this shouldn't also be an option for the hardcore gamers out there. It should have been planned from the start, so all games just work off the bat.
More or less any major one still actively in development has a Patreon, these days.
I don't think anyone is under the impression that emulation is for most people.
This a hardcore gaming community, so naturally there will be more interest here than elsewhere~
Like who? The one crazy poster who was banned near the top of the thread?
No one cared to respond to his troll. Except you?
You do know this game was released today on current gen hardware, right?
What? None of the textures would apply or work. Even if they did I'm like 90% certain 100% of them would be lower detail.
Because the textures in the remake are all shown to be well and above the original across the board? You'll also be missing the specular layers on top of additional geometry showing detail that textures originally did.
There was a time when this would bother me, but I realized how niche of an audience emulation for Switch games is right now.
Whoa, looks like this might be ready to play sooner than I thought!
Fuck playing the 540-720p version.
Fuck playing the 540-720p version.
A gaming PC's CPU is so much stronger than the Switch's mobile chip, it's like Raditz vs the farmer with a shotgun.
Emulators don't let you pirate games, you're thinking of torrent websites.
I wasn't comparing the Switch's processor to a high end gaming processor. I was comparing this emulator to past emulators, which typically required a really good CPU just to run them adequately at all even after a year or two of optimizations. I think PCSX2 was really hard to run early on, Dolphin was, RPCS3 was notoriously hard to run and so I expected this to follow suit until it was further optimized. At least with Odyssey anyway, it seems like they are pretty far along, and it hardly taxes the CPU much at all.
Well yes and no, if all you're concerned about is the legality of it then you're in the clear, if you're expecting to better or even match the XBC Switch experience on your pc today then absolutely not.
You can legally dump your game and TRY to play it. In a few months it'll come close to your expectations probably, maybe less maybe more, all the way to 4k tho? Don't expect to hit that soon, on anything other than monster rigs.
Vulkan will be a godsend.
Ok I am fine waiting to see how it progresses then. I'm still using a 1080ti because I skipped last gen waiting for the 3000s for a big upgrade. Hopefully with my 30XX card at the end of the year then this will be more possible.
why would it ever bother you, how other people choose to play their games?
if you mean piracy, sure I get you
but emulation? Why?
most past console were based around more desktop-level though, I believe. (PS2 has an nvidia GPU, etc. I think the low powered mobile CPUs are why the Wii U and Switch are more emulatable early on.
The hardware factors in, not just that it is being emulated.
