Continuing on the linked post, I wonder if another option could be to simply wait for the game to become ported/ready for emulation. I have zero experience with the world of console emulators.
Please advise 😊
Around the switch 2 launch I commented that I was probably going to just play switch 2 games on pc and just use moonlight to stream to my switch and it appears I was correct :D
Switch 2 games are already being dumped and run on different hardware. Dont give fucking Nintendo any money!
It’s nice to see a place free from the invasive Nintendo bootlickers
What a culture! Especially when the company just literally hates everybody and anybody. The only thing Nintendo is down for, is the almighty $$$
TIL, thanks.
I seriously wanna stop paying for exclusives. I just wanna stick to indie games when they go on sale on my Switch 2.
Dont give fucking Nintendo any money! Word. That’s why I’m aksing. 😁 So, what’s your ETA on the remake of OoT? 🥹🙏
It was already dumped the day before launch, running at 15-30 fox on Lichii, just wait a month or two and it’ll have playable frame rates.
15-30 FPS is already better than Ocarina running on an N64 lol
Mostly, I hate the world.
But when some random internet stranger says
It was already dumped the day before launch, running at 15-30 fox on Lichii, just wait a month or two and it’ll have playable frame rates. I hate nothing.
Ah my bad, I thought the question was regarding game dumps in general and then you were just discussing your reasoning why. As another commenter said though Ocarina is already out there. Good luck enjoying both the game and not giving Nintendo money :D
Thanks! 😁 I’ll do my best. As soon as I finish the game I’m making an appreciation post towards the devs while spitting on the Nintendo corpses.
Iirc the first news are about a month old now, pretty recent stuff. Having followed console modding and emulation for some decades now, from my experience, patience’s the key.
On the Switch 2 specifically, I made a thread of posts a while back, listing my irritations with the console and its overdependance and overreliance on internet connections.
But if you’d be interested in following news on the matter, GBAtemp’s a good source for that, and adjacent to that there’s also !emulation@sh.itjust.works and !emulator_news@crust.piefed.social (latter one run by me hehe). In fact, GBAtemp has RSS feeds, so I think I’ll link to Piefed too.
Woa! Thank you so much! I have bookmarked your comment to come back to after I finish up some other projects. 😊

I mean, they probably won’t be perfect but it looks like people can get something going pretty quickly.
Also, there seems to be more work on specific builds of different emulators than a cohesive general emulator at the moment.
Awesome! I don’t know anything about emulators at the moment, so I don’t quite understand the implications of “general emulator” versus "builds of different emulators, but I’ll start reading up on the subject as soon as I’m done with another project! 😊
It’s like any other open source project. Forks for different specific uses.
In your digging, I’d caution you to stay away from sites that offer switch 2 roms. No semi-credible site is sharing them, atm. There are a ton of people putting out malware, etc in the interim.
Right. Thanks for the headsup! I’ve never “dabbled” in executables/roms/software piracy before, so I never really worried about malware in that sense (while still keeping a fair cyber hygiene). Maybe it’s time to setup a virtual machine in case I ever want to test run “shady stuff”. Thanks again! 😁
It wouldn’t surprise me if Switch 2 ran quantum computing one year from now.
I’m not sure what to do with that piece of information or how it affects the timeline, but, thanks! 😊
