I just play Steam Deck and write about gaming + Linux a lot

  • Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs)

    Jump

  • I'm surprised you haven't heard of Eden before this! It's the choice for emulating on Android now! They're very well established, and seem to be vouched for by all the 'big' names in the emulation and handhelds scene.

    Obviously practicing your own caution is important, but Eden isn't some unknown fly-by-nighter. They're very, very much a known name now.

  • Oops! Shit, that's just me not reading what I write!

    This always happens to me on here. Thanks for pointing it out!!!

  • Yes, Yuzu was a court-ordered take-down.

    Ryujinx was a voluntary removal by the devs (though one of the original team now runs Ryubing)

  • I assume most or all of it goes to Gardiner Bryant and not the OP.

    I make no money from Gardiner's site, or any other way I've done these articles. They're just because I love to write and because I love the gaming scene. Thanks for realizing that!

  • This is not 'my' blog. Its my friend's: Gardiner Bryant. I contribute there because I love gaming and I love writing.

    Should we start removing all links from this community, do you think? Because sharing links to sites (by your own 'logic') are just ads. Right?

  • It does, yes! I'm running all my ROMs from a Samsung SD card on there.

  • For fuck's sake.

    Go and look at my post history on Lemmy. I'm more than established on here, as I am on Mastodon. I'm not a ad, this wasn't a paid review. They sent me the device and had no idea what I'd write about it. If it was terrible, I'd have said so. That's...how this works. In the case of the AYN Thor, it's just genuinely a VERY good handheld. I stand by what I've written. You would too, if you got one.

    I loathe that you don't know me, didn't check my history with Lemmy, and just called me a paid shill. Fucking shitty.

    As to reviewing this handheld and liking it. Its like if you got sent a Steam Deck, and gave it a good review...would you consider that an ad? A product which holds up to scrutiny? My findings seem to be pretty in-line with others who have reviewed the device.

    Ugh.

  • While it's outdated, its the divers that make it the better option for Switch emulation! But, with time will come drivers which make the newer upgrades work as well, like 8gen2. Right now, it's the community support that keeps the 865 being the most stable and the one I'd recommend the most (with Turnip) for Switch emu!

    But as for everything else? It's a weigh up for what is most important to you!

  • Exactly this!

    CEMU on Android is still very new to the scene, so some things work and some don't. I'd consider it just an added bonus (like Wind Waker!) when things work!

  • I think it's the history of my posts. I've been interviewing developers from programs and projects for a couple of years now. From Heroic to Lutris to EmuDeck, RetroDECK, Junk Store to things like RomM and Minigalaxy. These and articles on the scene...I don't know, I guess it's just because I've established my voice as one in this gaming scene.

    It's not as loud as some, but it certainly was nice to have some validation that a company wanted me to review their product!

  • The Snapdragon 865 is the undisputed winner of all for the Switch, even now after so much time has passed. Time will change that, and the community is what drives changes, but it's definitely a unique scene!

  • 3DS emulation still has a long way to go (the emulators themselves) since Citra got taken down. But some are making great progress, Azahar is a nice project to keep an eye on. Like I mentioned in the article...it can only get better!

    As to original games being made after the systems shut down, I'd love to see that too! Now we're seeing these retro handheld manufacturers pivot to dual screen systems like the AYANEO Pocket DS, AYN Thor and the Anbernic DS, there's definitely a community and plenty of consoles to play them on!

  • Yes! It depends on which Switch games, of course Switch emulation is a slippery slope of diving into drivers, settings and builds. But a lot of games run well!!

    Even more surprising was WiiU (since that emulator is quite recent on the scene!), and PS3! WipEout HD: Fury was fun to play!

    Little edit: I've actually got an article on Eden emulator coming up soon, I interviewed two of the devs, and I'm writing things up now. So if you're interested in the 'main' Switch emulator being built and maintained, then keep an eye out for when I post it!
