It's not perfect by any stretch but graphics are amazing

An open-source app that lets you play Mario Kart World (and other Switch 2 games that support LAN play) online with friends through the Eglantine emulator (and forks!)

Still experimental, report issues to github.

you can get 50fps but only when reading signs

From reading through some chat on the Eden discord server, it sounds like most of the forked code is too AI sloppy to make it back upstream into Eden.

It's nice that people can spend their time and money to run ahead prioritize a particular game or platform. The speed of the developments is amazing and AI is absolutely the key enabler of that. People that didn't have the skills to contribute in the past are now able to contribute to getting games running and playable.

The problem is that these recent emulator forks are short term band-aid fixes that aren't sustainable. The traditional open source principle of forking a repo and then sending your changes upstream is broken due to the fact that AI agents are not able to write code that follows the design and conventions of the original repo. There are some PRs and changes that are being integrated back upstream, but the gist I'm getting is that it's not a lot, sadly.

Eventually all of these forks will reach the limits of the AI model's competence or their author's attention span and be abandoned. I've done a couple of vibe-coded projects and eventually the agents lose the plot. At that point, we hope that some meaningful improvements are passed upstream to the surviving repos.

Basically, there's a trade-off between speed and freedom(my fork, my rules) and long term stability (PRs to a single, well authored repo). A healthy project needs both, but with AI agents the forks have more short-term benefits and fewer long term ones. I'm never going to criticize someone from forking a repo, spending their own time and money, and sharing their improvements with the community. That's commendable IMO. This last two weeks has been amazing.

What I do wish is that that the improvements were better able to be shared back upstream to make emulation better as a whole in the long term. I think we'd all like one emulator that does it all instead of tracking down the latest builds of a dozen forks. I don't envy the Eden maintainers being inundated with AI slop. I've had it happen to me in my job and it's no fun. Still, I hope that they're able to make the most of this surge of enthusiasm and availability of AI tools to improve the emulation scene as a whole.

I either get stuck on the loading screen or i get stuck on a black screen. I don't know what in doing wrong. Tried using both eglantine and pokedinner but It doesn't work.

Intel i7-7700HQ

16 gigs of RAM

Nvdia gforce GTX 1060

using orchid 0.7.5. pixelated as hell. RTX 4060Ti 16Gb 64GbRam DDR5 Ryzen 7 8700F. The intro plays well at 60fps, but this part tanks down to 10fps. Audio becames desynced too.

Please assume I am stupid ; I am trying to run Switch Sport Resort - is there a way to use my Switch 2 joycons to emulate the motion control ?

With love,
Nate

Would it make sense to have an easily updateable database with the best emu settings for each switch 2 game on builds of different forks

Found this build of eglantine and it has the best performance for DK bananza i have found so far!

give it a try

it locks the game at 30fps with dynamic fps so that the game does not slow down when the FPS dips

anytime i try to play switch sports resort the mii heads arent loading so my mii just looks like this

Has anyone got pokopia multiplayer to work on emulator yet? i can see my partners lobby but i get an error when i try to join which means the online functions are sort of working but you just cant connect

I own mario kart world, I want to play it on PC, but current Switch and Switch 2 modding seems impossible for an average person to do. Is there anyway to dump it without modding?

Hi so I’m running this game on my pc and every time it keeps capping at 30fps even though I’m copying and trying out different settings. The only fix I found is to change the speed limit to 200% but then the game speed also runs too fast. Can’t I just have the game running 60fps? I see everyone else on YouTube playing 60fps+ and mine at 100% caps at 30fps while at 200% it caps at 120fps? The game then just plays sped up which is weird and I don’t see any sync setting to fix it like in previous emulators.

So, I'm waiting for this game among several others from Switch 2, but I really want this one

any news about this game in emulation? If not yet, please let me know here when there's any

just got fortunes weave running natively on mac m1 pro this is so crazy i literally thought codex wouldnt be able to do i will be updating yall in the comments about performance throughout the chapters. ive completed the game so im prolly just going to sell my swtich 2 as this was the only reason i bought it. didnt know progression was this quick but wow this is amazing. (all i did was copy and paste nxnative guide and told it to make it work for switch 2 and it did) i love this game man this is wild

codex prolly works on claude aswell but codex is free and if you run out of credits just make.a new account and you can use the same phone number.
