That is the answer. Anything that ruins the online portion of the game will originate from hacked Switch hardware. The Switch was busted wide open, and it's a thousand times easier to do anything like that on the Switch itself.

Sounds cool, does yuzu allow raising the internal resolution?

This is a news about the progress of the emulator, not encouraging people to actually play the game via emulator.
No one would choose playing on emulator at the current state than playing on the actual console.
it's not about it's current state, but what it can do in the future. look at wii/wii u emulators for example. they can improve the game greatly. along with preservation etc
I just remember certain games in the past getting save files corrupted due to other players who had hacked games and throwing hacked items into others save files via trading. That's why I worry.
Hey, I'm very much looking forward to playing BotW 2 in 4K on my PC day-1 using a personal dump from a copy I will buy for my Switch.
Go off, I guess.
You keep avoiding the simple question that I asked that other people already answered. You seem like you're really defensive about it so don't sweat it.
Lol this community has this discussion every emulation thread, even on GAF. They've made their stance, it's legal and as long as no one is advocating piracy it's all good.
Did I violate some unwritten law? I'm still waiting for an answer.
Era has a long illustrious history of at least one person attempting to derail nearly every emulation thread with piracy talk. As always you are welcome to create a thread dedicated to emulation and piracy if you'd like to discuss it there instead of going off topic in this one.
Yes, I can understand that. I meant the user on this thread implying that he/she will play the game on emulator...
it's been answered. you can improve the graphics and performance with an emulator
Alternatively you are looking into a burning house and being concerned about a candle someone left lit on a table inside.
True. Breath of The Wild on emulator runs so great at 4K/60fps and with a lot of QoL enhancements that make it the definitive version of the game right now.
That's why I was asking if it did, because I wasn't sure if this emulator meant easier modding.
User warned: Inflammatory accusations
Yeah thread was to showcase the progress / achievement of emulator.
People are disappointed they can't play game for free lol
reported?
and it's more than a claim
ridiculous.
Save states, texture packs, speed ups, 4K.
I replay all of my console/handheld games on PC (when emulation allows it). Hell, I finished Pokemon Red more times on a Pentium III than on a gameboy.
EDIT: The real answer though is my disability that makes long handheld/controller gaming sessions painful on my hands and joints. M/KB and Steam Controller's ridiculously large back paddles are the only input devices I have that mitigate this.

Quick reminder on site policy on emulation- you can find this under 'announcements' in the general guide to Era.
Because I'm concerned about the emulator in question possibly opening more doors for hacking and modding? You do you but I don't want any part of it and I don't want any part of it effecting my game data.
they said "if they get it playable within the year" which is the reason we are telling you why they would use an emulator if the game was payable
The hardware itself is completely broken open, and people will be modifying whatever Game Freak has left accessible within days of the game being released. There are no more doors to open. You are missing the forest for the trees.
Here is a switch running Linux as an example:

Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: You can a tool to scrub data to avoid console bans. Pokemon has a "legal pokemon" system that determines if a pokemon is illegitimate an flags it as such. That said there's nothing stopping perfect IV pokemon at max level
I remember past Pokemon games having those checks before to prevent some wild modifications to stats. I guess I'll just assume this one is the same. Ty
Love emulation! While I have never personally been interested in emulating games of current gen consoles, it's awesome to know that when Switch eventually becomes obsolete I'll likely be able to fire up an old game for old time's sake on whatever the most convenient hardware is at that time. Thanks to emulation I have played so many older games on my TV that I would never otherwise had experienced.
It's not exactly a technically ambitious game. It makes sense that it would be easier to get to this point.
Very likely, but that's the power of emulation. The efforts made in SNES emulation this last year with widescreen support and more high res backgrounds in mode 7 are great examples of when emulation can improve a game that was limited by the hardware at the time. Improvements that the developers would likely approve of and even use, had the possibility existed at the time of release.

Mods...
Go ahead and ban me.
You honestly think you have a respected site and can welcome developers on this board when you advocate piracy?
And to say emulation does not advertise piracy is extremely narrow minded and quite frankly shows you do it yourself.
How dare you send me a message and warning to stop taking about this. It will take one, maybe two big names in the industry to call you out and you'll quickly change your tune.
Any Devs reading, you know that probably 90% of those viewing this thread had NO idea Switch emulation existed and probably all them went straight to Google to search for Switch Roms.
Fucking bunch of pirates.

The pre-mariko units are wide open, not all the Switches
By the way i'm of the idea that opening a thread stating in the title that a just released game runs almost perfectly on an emulator is basically calling for piracy of said game, but whatever.
Theswweet i won't call you liar because i do exactly the same with my flashcarts, but you're too naïve if you think that even a 10% of an emulator userbase are like you. There's a reason why when a console is broken open the first thing ever developed aside of a hello world is a backup loader, wich is the same reason why emulators' developers always try to get running the most popular games and then the rest by popular demand.
I honestly think that there sould be some limits in this forum regarding current gen emulators.

there are literally blllions of things to be passionate about in this world and you chose this
Emulating on PC wont matter much for piracy anyway as the Switch is already fully cracked and wide open, the majority of people who care about such things have likely already hacked their Switch for piracy and wont wait the 6 months - 1+ years? before Switch games can be completed on emulators without any significant flaws.
At least hacking Pokemon will let people add in all the skills and Pokemon missing from Sword/Shield, plus PC emulation allows for lots of glorious graphic mods and faster frame rates.

like what limits? people aren't linking to roms or describing how to pirate video games. emulating games is perfectly fine

Haha wow. So Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are advocating piracy too since they use emulators for their products?
People keep saying this when none of the Switches you can buy right now are hackable or wide open.
If I'm interested in piracy or hacking today and have to decide between trying to obtain some old Switch that night hard to get or just go the emulator route for a system I already own....it's clear that most would wanna go for Emulation. Especially if the goal is to pay nothing or as little as possible.
It's okay saying that Emulation doesn't neccesarily means piracy.....but the way you are framing it is is a bit naive. If Piracy and paying less are the number 1 reason a emulator will always be the preferred choice - especially when it's not that taxing on the hardware and can offer improvements.
Like avoiding speaking of just released games, or limiting the discussion to an OT
I have no issue with emulation in general, i'm a heavy use in every platform that allows them, officially or not, but in my opinion current gen emulators are a different matter
lmaoooo this is so edgy, did u not see the person earlier in this thread who said emulations helps them game with their disability? I think the things youre saying are incredibly rude and dismissive
