The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Already Runs At Above 120 FPS on PC via Emulator
- Thread starter Joule
- Start date
I shouldn't have watched this, now I'll be thinking about how much smoother it could be when I eventually play
wow, I personally can't believe that better hardware can run games better than worse hardware
we need to get interpol on this

Not all Switch games can be run at arbitrary framerates without stuff breaking, most need mods and stuff still breaks, so this is a cool surprise actually
For what it's worth, I was struggling getting it to run well at all on my (considerably much weaker) machine via Ryujinx. Ran wonderfully on Yuzu / Suyu (Almost a locked 60 frames on Steam Deck as well as on my desktop), but there were a number of really distracting visual glitches involving the rifts that were far too distracting for my liking. Think I'll stick to playing it on the Switch itself and pray for better performance on Switch 2.
unless you have a steam deck, which would absolutely hit 60fps for those wanting steady frames
this is cool though
not cool enough for me to do it, but cool
A bit more if you buy prebuilt, but if you build it yourself you can get pretty close.
User banned (3 days): Equating emulation with piracy
Good news for the people who bought the game before today.
Great news for the people buying it today.
Fantastic news for the people deciding to not even buy the game at all.

Is the emulator at the point where games are stable / without bugs on day 1?
Probably not at 120 FPS, but the emulated version already seems to run on PC handhelds at 30 fps or more, so playing via PC on the bus is definitely on the table.

If the patent based lawsuit against Palword dev goes their way (probably) I can kinda see Nintendo just arguing that any emulation violates some patents of theirs and go ham on these kinds of projects. Given how flimsy and ill defined patent law is, it could prove a useful cudgel to SLAPP the shit out of anything that big gaming companies dont' like.
On an emulator? Yeah, it's super impressive for a game that just came out to run so well regardless of PC spec. We still have emulated GameCube games that don't run well on top tier hardware.
People come up with the craziest conspiracy theories...
Patent law is pretty straightforward, a ruling in one country will have no impact on rulings elsewhere, precedent plays no role in patent law, and Nintendo has no patents that could possibly be related anyway. If Nintendo could sue an emulator based off of patents they would have done so many years ago
I think that's more for people who already have a PC for other games. Very few people would buy a PC just to emulate Switch
For real
yeah i know about vsync, been doing that for years... But now i'm told ryujinx doesn't have a fps cap? Even though it never went over 60 for me... what am i missing? I don't have anything that caps FPS and i play all my games at 120 fps outside ryujinx
That's pretty great performance. Wonder how that compares to the performance on Switch hardware. Guess I'll find out later today, the day of the game's release.
Ryujinx has always been the better emulator idk, in a lot of games you just press tab and it goes over 60 yeah. Not all of them but a lot.
There is already Ultra Wide support and activation/deactivation of different graphic effects on PC fully working.
I'm getting ~90 fps on a much more modest setup (3080Ti + 12400). Never drops below 60. Disabling VSYNC is a must though for some reason. Remember, you can use frame generation on PC via Lossless Scaling too. As for mods, I don't think the game needs any if you're not on a UW monitor. Removing the DoF, for example, is a downgrade imo. Look at the first two screenshots here:

What's notable is the game was made to run at an uncapped framerate which means it can easily scale to hardware. In most switch games game speed and logic are directly tied to frame rate and require mods that often introduce bugs to run at higher frames. Odds are it will be trivial for this game to be set to a 60fps frame cap on the Switch 2 assuming it can maintain that.
It has the usual shader stutter, but otherwise runs as good as native port. Wait till there are mods out like ultrawide, high res textures etc.
Edit: there you go, posted above.
Yup. I've got Tears of the Kingdom in that group too.
Switch 2 launch is going to be hot.
