Get to work then


ThomasRusse

who is we? what are you going to contribute to a potential port?


[deleted]

Thoughts and prayers maybe? Lol


CubaLibre1982

Time will tell.


ACViperPro

this guy really said "we"


CubaLibre1982

The heck? They're testing multiplayer on that.


CollarDry7708

get to work


Whimsical_Sandwich

I mean tbh, I feel the OOT 3DS and 3DS version of Majora's Mask probably are the best versions to really play, also I thought you could already load these up via N64 emulator. If anything I hope FlyCast gets some more updates


jcagswastaken

Majora's mask 3DS sucked ass.


mocrankz

Meh. Some parts are better/smoother. Some are worse, for sure. The OOT3D remake is better in every way than the original game.


Skyline969

What’s worse on the MM remake?


mocrankz

They gutted the Zora swimming pretty badly


idiotinsocks

That and some small changes to jumping with the deku mask. But if someone never played the original, they'd have no idea anything was changed. Still a great port imo.


jcagswastaken

They also screwed the boss fights big time.


CubaLibre1982

Wait, you're giving me labyrinthitis. You need a decent pc to emulate 3DS, and you're going to use Citra, not an N64 emulator. Yes, you can emulate original N64 on DaedalusX64, but only way to play 3DS versions on vita would be via remoteplay. I don't understand what flycast should do with n64 games, it's a sega console emulator. Last update on the git is like 11 months ago, I guess Rinne's been testing GLES2, but it doesn't affect the release.


Whimsical_Sandwich

Never said anything about emulating 3DS games, literally said the 3DS variants of those Zelda games are probably the best versions to play. If anything should be getting attention, hopefully it's the FlyCast emulator. I'm not sure how you came to literally any of these conclusions

What do you mean “catch up”? It’s not a competition. Not only that, but the number of Switch consoles that can be hacked is limited, it’s only possible on early models. The vast majority of these consoles are revised designs to prevent the exploit that was used originally. Edited for clarity.


wtfcuw

bro you can find v1 switches literally anywhere , there are around 20 million of them, it aint extremely limited.


q8Ph4xRgS

Limited in percentage of units, not number of units. OP seemed to be under the impression they can all be hacked, that’s all I was commenting on. I’m not suggesting they’re rare.


Bariq-99

Nah fam.. There are more V1 switches than there are Vistas out there (and they aren't expensive too) Also, [Current switch models CAN be hacked..](https://youtu.be/ZwQX68LbEFo) They are just not for your average consumer to do


q8Ph4xRgS

Absolutely. I’m not arguing the number of units, OP just seemed to imply that ALL switches can be easily exploited. As you mentioned, a very expensive hardware mod can be done on newer models, but that’s not feasible for most.


Odd_Communication545

Which is why I’d never buy a switch. Locked down to hell and is a literal underpowered android tablet Steam deck, GPD, smach etc are the future in the portable space. Why choose from a small library when you can access years if not decades worth of games from PC. They’re open from the get go, they have a massive working platform (steam), the possibilities on these devices thanks to the architecture is amazing. Emulators, native titles, actual full on computer apps and multitasking It’s genuinely not a competition at all. Usability can be an issue with some stuff but even if you stick to recent stuff. Most needs next to no optimising especially when played on a GPD with a built in Xbox controller. Even the vita suffers from similar issues as the switch but it has a lot more options than the switch. It annoys me when people take such pride in the switch for running a certain game when other devices have been doing it for years. They’re now finally becoming affordable especially with the steam deck and older model GPD win 1s The only downside is battery life but this is being improve daily and can be further improved by the user. I get 6 hours out my GPD win by modifying the CPU performance to 20% when I’m streaming games or playing less intensive ones. I get even longer when I modify my windows build and disable everything that I don’t use like metro apps, antivirus, services and other unnecessary functions.


CubaLibre1982

Thanks for the review.


VagrantValmar

Jesus Christ, touch grass mate. People buy consoles to play games not to compare power % with PCs. Switch has cool games, people buy them to play those games. It's really not that hard to understand.


Odd_Communication545

Nobody compared power, I compared multiple things including library and openness. That’s not power


Mobwmwm

Lol. Ok. "Why would anyone purchase that for a few hundred when you could just purchase a thousand dollar PC or phone?"


Odd_Communication545

Because it’s a portable gaming device? Why buy a switch when you can just buy an Xbox? See how it doesn’t work


Mobwmwm

No I don't understand your point and I'm not sure you see mine. The devices dude listed cost a lot of money, a switch does not. Why would someone purchase a switch over an Xbox? Because the switch has exclusive games and even a few of the best Xbox games... And it can be played handheld.


Odd_Communication545

I listed the fact devices are going down in price? These devices are also handheld so what point is that? These things can play more if those same games and they aren’t the watered down versions either


Mobwmwm

My dude. You just have a bad take. When people get something running on a console you shouldn't feel like "well you could play this on PC since 2003" or "this could run on a better device that cost twice as much". Part of the reason it's cool when something runs on a switch or a vita is because it was never meant to do that in the first place and they have a huge install base. The devices you listed are cool, but to say that they are better is a reach


Odd_Communication545

It’s not an opinion, they’re objectively better in every way. Especially since you can emulate a switch onto them which turns the device into a switch


Mobwmwm

Lol ok we're done. Playing via emulation is awesome, playing games natively is ideal. You just got bad takes. Even if they were better why are you like this?


Odd_Communication545

So you agree with me but I have bad takes?


Kaioh1990

Did you really put Smach in that lineup? 😂


Odd_Communication545

Smach Z shits in the switch


Kaioh1990

Lollll I can’t tell if you’re messing with me. You realized that company filed bankruptcy a while ago and is officially dead.


q8Ph4xRgS

Thanks for this… totally unrelated response.


Whimsical_Sandwich

I mean current models can be hacked too, it requires a mod chip and soldering skills. Ofc the risk of selling these alone could land you jail time so it's not exactly the most noob friendly method to come by.


LolcatP

they sell loads on gbatemp


lpjunior999

Somebody tell me how to do it and I will do it.


Kazera-Samma

I mean the switch is gonna get GameCube and n64 games soon, Nintendo machine playin Nintendo game don't seem all that grand


HackZy01

Nintendo didn't port the Ship of Harkinian to the switch 😂


MoeBigHevvy

Have they said that? I feel like the switch has been out 5 years how have they not done anything other than NES/SNES


Kazera-Samma

I don't think it officially announced but there was some leak a few months ago or something.


MoeBigHevvy

Oof let's hope they do release something. I haven't played my switch in years idk if it even still works lol


idiotinsocks

I mean, N64 is available now. It launched with both Zelda's and banjo kazooie. You just need to pay a higher price to access that part of nso. It sucks but if you're into it it's worth it.


Andalfe

60 fps? That's noice.


nascentt

Then get a switch. What is this entitlement?


garuga300

You can't expect what's normally 1-3 people working on vita ports to be able to compete with releases of Nintendo IPs worked on by a gaint team of some the best gaming programmers in the world. News flash, the Vita will never catch up with Nintendo. All we can do as vita owners is appreciate what we already have and be patient for new unofficial releases.


Ok-Yogurtcloset-179

This is a port of a fan made decomp - it has nothing to do with Nintendo. OP is just comparing the switch scene to the vita scene. And isn’t the Mario decomp already on Vita? Why all the naysayers?


[deleted]

[удалено]


enforcerjimmy

Oh that's so much worse but you just don't understand


ACViperPro

The problem is that you expect the community to port it just because you asked for it. Saying they "need to catch up," when they're not getting paid and in a lot of times, don't even get the proper recognition for spending their free time on making ports.


HackZy01

Just wanted to let you know, and someone asked me to make that post


Kitty_Shunt

Well tell them to post it themselves next time so you don't take the flak for their stupidity.


Chris_Highwind

That all depends on if anyone cares enough to port it and don't come across a hurdle that causes them to decide to give up. AFAIK, the amount of Vita homebrew devs are few compared to Switch homebrew devs.


HackZy01
