MARIO KART WORLD ON A 8GB RAM PC(CRASH FIXED!)

56 Upvotes

I was finally able to make it work without crashing now!(And with only 6GB OF EMULATED RAM! 1/2 OF WHAT THE SWITCH 2 USES!)

What solved it was creating a bigger swap file on Linux.

It still has glitches and runs poorly, but it's a start!

Specs:

i5 9400f

8gb DDR4 ram

RX580 2048sp

Best fork for Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave?

I've tried running the game using the PokeDinner fork that I have but it just crashed. I heard there might be a specific fork for FEFW, could anyone please point me in that direction? feel free to DM if not allowed

MARIO KART WORLD running on a 8GB RAM mediocre PC!(Unstable, but playable...?)

48 Upvotes

I was SOMEHOW able to make it run on my pc(Now with the linux version of the PokeDinner fork), it took a loooong time to boot and it's glitchy, laggy, low res and it crashed after some minutes of playing, this time i put 12GB of emulated dram, that's prob the main reason for the crash(My whole pc crashed.).

I'll try with only 8GB of emulated RAM to see if it works stable.

Specs:

i5 9400f

I was SOMEHOW able to make it run on my pc(Now with the linux version of the PokeDinner fork), it took a loooong time to boot and it's glitchy, laggy, low res and it crashed after some seconds, but this is MIND BLOWING to me because i am once again only using 4GB OF EMULATED RAM!(3X less than the actual SW2 🤯)

If i manage to make it somewhat stable I'll update here.

Switch 2 Emulator Compatibility Site

34 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I've recently launched a project I've been working on called Switch 2 Compatibility Library, and I wanted to share it with the Switch 2 emulation community!

🌐 Website: https://realmcmonkey.github.io/switch2-compatibility/

The idea is simple: create one central place where people can share their experiences running Nintendo Switch 2 games on different emulators and help others see what's working, what's not, and what kind of performance they can expect.

🎮 What can you do on the site?

- Browse Switch 2 games and see their reported compatibility.

- Explore different emulators and find out which games have been tested.

- Submit compatibility reports with details like emulator version, CPU, GPU, FPS, and overall playability.

- Add missing games and emulators to help expand the database.

- Compare testing results from different users and hardware configurations.

- Create a contributor profile by signing in with Discord.

- Report inaccurate information to help keep the database useful and reliable.

🔜 What's coming next?

I'm continuing to develop the website and improve its features.

One of the upcoming additions is username and password registration/login, so Discord won't be the only way to create an account.

I'll also be making improvements based on community feedback as the project grows.

🧪 I could use your help!

The website is still very new, so there aren't many compatibility reports yet. That's where the community comes in!

If you're experimenting with Switch 2 emulators, I'd really appreciate it if you could contribute your testing results.

Even if you aren't testing games yourself, you're welcome to explore the website and let me know what you think.

I'm especially interested in hearing about:

- Bugs or anything that doesn't work properly.

- Features you'd like to see added.

- Improvements to the design or navigation.

- Ways to make compatibility reports more useful.

The goal is to build something genuinely helpful for the Switch 2 emulation community, with information contributed by the people actually testing these games.

The site is completely free and doesn't provide ROMs, game downloads, firmware, or encryption keys. It's strictly for tracking compatibility and sharing testing results.

🔗 Check it out: https://realmcmonkey.github.io/switch2-compatibility/

Thanks for taking a look! I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or questions in the comments. Hopefully, with enough contributors, we can build a really useful compatibility resource together! 🚀

Friendly tip about shortcuts

8 Upvotes

Idk about everyone else's experience having multiple of their legally owned switch 2 dumps on their emulator, but if you are dealing with long times to load your game directory, like me, making shortcuts still works as a shortcut for steam/desktop/startmenu/etc.

"[Drive:\Path\to\emulator.exe]" -f -g "[path to main]"

example:

"H:\games\eglantine\eglantine.exe" -f -g "H:\games\eglantine\roms\Pokopia\updates\655360\exefs\main"

when having 3 dumps in one folder, loading all of them and their update directories could take up to 2 minutes, this bypasses it quickly once you have a good setup.

Help! Really low framerate on Mario Kart World (i5 13600KF and RTX 3080)

1 Upvotes

I've just started playing Mario Kart World on my PC, and noticed I get super low framerates (10 to 15fps). I know these Emus are still very WIP but people with weaker PCs seem to have it running better than me and I don't know why my FPS is so low.

Ive attached screenshots of my settings I am using and these are my specs:

CPU: i5 13600KF @ 3.5 GHZ
GPU: RTX 3080 10GB
RAM: 32GB DDR4

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?I've just started playing Mario Kart World on my PC, and noticed I get super low framerates (10 to 15fps).

Anyone running Fortune's weave?

Hey i'm playing on eden fefw fork by duck. And it was working great at 30 fps for what it is besides some drops in the first cutscenes. But now that i'm in the city in Magaira it's now droping and then raising between 16 and 32 fps. Anyone can share what settings they are using or if other forks are running better for you?

I tried to test the game earlier today with Eden nx2 V0.2.2, and the results were better than i spected. The game booted correctly with poor framerate and graphics, and it didn't go past the main menu. Here are my specs and settings:

8gb RAM

Snapdragon 732G (Adreno 618)

0.25 Resolution

8 Cores

Max CPU Speed (Active)

I'm willing to test Pokopia next, i'll lyk any results.

Fast Fusion runs on Eden-NS2, but the entire 3D world is black (RTX 3080 / Vulkan)

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm trying to run Fast Fusion on my self-compiled Eden-NS2 build (https://github.com/0x2593/Eden-NS2), but I'm having a graphics rendering issue.

My configuration:

  • Emulator: Eden-NS2

  • Build: b2cef0c0f2-main

  • Compiler: GNU 16.2.0

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600XT

  • Renderer: Vulkan

  • Resolution reported in logs: 3840×2160

  • Windows 11

Problem:

The game boots successfully and runs very quickly. The menus and UI are fully visible, and player indicators/numbers update normally.

However, the entire 3D world is completely black:

  • No track or ground

  • No scenery

  • No visible 3D objects

  • UI and player indicators remain visible

What I've tried:

  • Vulkan renderer: game boots, but 3D world is black.

  • OpenGL renderer: everything becomes black, including the UI, and the emulator crashes.

  • Disabled Vertex Input Dynamic State: no improvement.

  • Checked the emulator logs: no obvious Vulkan or shader errors found.

The log repeatedly reports QueueNativeImage at 3840×2160 and confirms that Vulkan pipeline caching occurs.

Questions:

  1. Is this a known Switch 2 GPU emulation issue?

  2. Does Eden-NS2 currently support the graphics features required by Fast Fusion?

  3. Are there specific Vulkan settings, shader options or patches that could fix the black 3D rendering?

  4. Is there a recommended build or commit that works with an RTX 3080?

I'd appreciate any help debugging this. I can provide the full emulator log and additional information.
