RetroArch Dolphin (Gamecube) core is being ported to Switch (WIP)

It's strange. The Switch keeps secret logs of all the modifications that have been installed on it. Hackers haven't figured out how or where the Switch logs this. The Switch then sends this info to Nintendo when it connects online.
Generally people get banned for connecting online while running a hack (homebrew, custom firmware, incorrect backups, definitely online game hacks & cheats, etc). That's just having an online connection.
You can still receive game updates and patches, but yeah eShop/Online play is gone.
They know where all the logs are. The issue is that clearing them entirely gets you a ban too.
Not really, if you get banned from using cfw, you only losses online play, eshop and updates will still available.
However if you downloaded something from CDN or used layeredFS you could loss eshop access, bubut you still can get game patches.
Because you can carry a decent gaming PC to bed or into the subway yeap
Well if the purpose is GameCube/Wii (plus some Wii U) level emulation you certainly can with a GPD WIN 2, though it is an expensive little device for that alone.

I was excited to see this news because that would have meant that hackers achieved hardware acceleration in Switch homebrew. However, it's just* a Linux port running on the Switch.
*Not implying that it's a small feat. But Switch homebrew you run from the Switch OS itself is much more user friendly than Linux programs running on a Linux port (which requires a bunch of setup like partitioning the SD card, and then there's the Linux boot process). But as of now, hackers haven't yet achieved 3D or hardware acceleration in homebrew that runs on the Switch OS. (Hardware acceleration was achieved in Linux through drivers since day 1.)

PS2 fucking when?
Finally now I can play an actual good tennis game on Switch.

When this comes and I can play Def Jam Fight for NY MP on the go then I will get a Switch.
Until then I will keep playing it on the PSP.
Wait, I thought just the Wii could play the gamecube discs, not Wii U. Or was there a hack eventually for the Wii U?
It couldn't read the discs, but if you ripped your discs to ISOs (via a homebrew OG BC Wii that could), you could run the ISOs on the Wii U with Nintendon't. The architecture for the Gamecube was still there and usable.
WiiU had FULL compatibility with the Wii because it basically had a wii inside

Cube -> Wii -> WiiU
Wow, an alternative where you end up with less money and a less capable solution. Bold advice.
Not if you get a bluetooth game controller for tablets. Only problem is if you get a call while gaming
What in the world...? I need this in my life!! I take it this mod can run on tablets and PCs?Bring on GBA with gridlines. The GBA 720p HDMI mod offers gridlines and they look amazing.
QFT. Is QFT still a thing??
I still need to get that second Switch!!
