![]() The fact that a third party could produce a "windows Mario 64" also shows you how trivial those recompilations are for the N64. This is confirmed from third party sources as well as from Nintendo's own code leaks for games on those platforms. GBA, N64, GC, Wii, WiiU, DS, DSi, 3DS games are all C or C++. Most people would still pull it, but that error is just because the designer did something less expected. Think about walking through a building with a lot of doors that are all pull handles, but then on one door the pull handle actually is a push. So if they are going from scratch, it is likely that they hit the exact same kind of issues in games that Project 64 did. The reason I say this OoT fog issue likely was something that was either more difficult to code in emulation or something that you have to do more accurate emulation on. The fog issue doesn't really mean anything (actually it likely means they were starting a lot closer to scratch as well).since the fog issue is now fixed. Thus you start getting the issues cropping up on unfinished products. The N64 emulation has been a bit weird with Nintendo.they originally did almost a specially crafted emulator for each game, but as each console progressed went more into the general emulation. Games are not written in a high level portable language normally, that's a really modern thing with a select few engines, because NORMALLY you are trying to edge out every bit of performance you can get from consoles.įrom my knowledge they sort of were for some of them. That cant even realisticly be done with how GBA and n64 (or even GC-Wii-WiiU which all share the same arch) were written No port in the world has ever been a simple recompile. They can't simply look at the most popular inaccurate software emulator and use the same hacks. Hence they will build their own dynamic recompiling emulators.Įvery emulator out there has to overcome the same obstacles. But if they recompile their own games, they won't be able to bring third party games that they don't have the source code to. The GC/Wii/WiiU is the hard thing to emulate and Nintendo would need to recompile the games if they want to run them on the Switch. They can recompile anything with an ARM CPU directly to the Switch by building a wrapper around the Switch GBA library functions to the Switch. Nintendo has all the SDK's for their consoles. It's far easier to attribute that "fog" issue to a developer trick the game used that later emulators hacked around, but Nintendo has yet to in their emulators. That doesn't mean they will be free of bugs in the middleware, and it's more likely that they won't recompile something that utilized assembly code tricks that work on the real hardware, that have to be hacked around since there's no way to understand what the assembly code does when it doesn't use functions from Nintendo's developer kits. Nintendo can simply recompile the GBA and N64 games for the Switch. My point was Nintendo has the cash flow to just buy emulators rather than producing bad ones which are restricted to certain games. Case in point is that fog issue in OoT was a project64 issue around a decade ago. Nintendo isn't developing their own emulators, they are taking old emulators and changing just enough code that their lawyers can hold off the independent original creators. (i'd add the 4chan post but it includes the downloads, sorry lads, you're on your own if you want to 'acquire' it) what games will come is still unclear but Pokemon is shown so it's quite likely it's going be a launch title for it. knowing Nintendo they'll officially announce this in the next direct with a release date of next year or something, since the emulator is apparently quite far in it's development and is in a usable state. whether this will be the return of the long asked virtual console brand or something else is unknown. What i find interesting is that the titles are separate apps as noted by oatmealdome. According to Trashbadacoot, both emulators are buggy but functional, and the leaked files contain screenshots of the games being tested on the Switch. The second, Sloop, is for the Game Boy Advance. ![]() The first, called Hioyo, is for the Game Boy. ![]() Twitter user Trashbandatcoot tweeted today that four files leaked on 4Chan earlier in the day, which included emulators in development by Nintendo Europe Research and Development (NERD). Game Boy and Game Boy Advance emulators for the service developed by Nintendo have apparently leaked online, and it looks like a long list of games, including Mario Kart, Golden Sun, and Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, have been tested on it. The retro library for Nintendo Switch Online might be getting beefed up any day now. ![]()
