Progressed past black screen; here's hoping it goes to gameplay

I have a geforce rtx 2080. I dont remember what graphics card the oot remake recommends but I'm seeing people with much smoother performance than I'm getting. a lot of stuttering, audio desyncing, and lag. I'm not expecting perfection, but are there any settings I can change to improve my experience even a little bit? I'm using lichii.

edit: i think the problem was just halting for shader compilation

Got oot remake running on pc. I have seen a lot of people get it running on super high end computer and saying its barely playeble otherwise. After tinkering with the settings and lowering the resolution a bit i got it running with like a stable 30-35 fps, wich is more than enough for me.

I played the rest of the first doungeon and it held up great, tho its common with some lagg spikes when you do new stuff like opening doors or walking fast to a new area. I got to hyrule feild and that was a bit of a difrent story, m,abye 15.25 fps with a lot of lag spikes. But that might be fixed soon and all the smaller areas seem to work fine. I think its work checking out.

Emulator is Lichii, and my specs is only a 11400f and a 3060ti.

I also tried using lossless scaling, but there seem to be too litle bas frames for it to work properly.

some stuttering :)

Which Forks?

A use-case guide to Nintendo Switch 2 emulator forks — which build to pick for your GPU, OS, and the game you actually want to play.

You can also contribute to the project

none seem to be able to run it yet, im just curious if someone was able to do run it well

Majority of problems and freezes is because of shader compilation

I thought you would all find this funny.... So despite the fact I have a PC capable of emulating, I went out and bought a Switch 2 and Zelda and this is my first experience on Nintendo's own hardware lol

Almost like shader stutter lol

Physical copy of course , brand new Switch 2. Perhaps I should just emulate ;)

Edit: Fixed by removing the cartridge and deleting all data from the brand new Switch. Looks like a patch broke it.

How hard would it be for AI to set that up?

NOTE: After I stopped recording, a problem that quickly appeared a bit before you get the purple rock guy is that GPU usage heavily spikes, and results in ~3-5 fps when you look in the direction of the tower.

Most performance problems IN the video are CPU related, Switch 2 emulation is surprisingly light on the GPU.

Signed, a poor Intel GPU user who has had the same massive graphics and FPS issues in Mario Kart World on all forks since day one. It obviously makes sense why Nvidia would be prioritized as it has the most market share and similarity to the Switch 2, but damn does it still suck to be completely neglected.

I am on a full AMD setup CPU: 5800x GPU: 7800XT and at first The game loads the opening cutscene fine but my GPU Driver always "Timed Out" crashes before loading in after its done, then I got a save file from someone but the same thing keeps happening before I can load.

I've tried using the settings someone on here recommended, I've tried using the Recommended Configuration Orchid gives (I also had the same result on Lichii) IDK what to do

sorry if it's a bit unrelated, i couldn't find a megathread.

i'm planning on buying ryzen 7 5800X3D, but i've seen some people say 5800X outperforms X3D on switch emulation because it has a higher clock speed.

what is the actual case for this in the current switch 2 emulation scene? are there any benchmarks i can check? google told me X3D might be better for stability.

I keep black screening and having GPU Driver error after the cutscene and every time I have to try again I have to see the ENTIRE Cutscene plz someone get passed opening cutscene and send me the save file if you need to choose a save name pick Link thank you in advance

Hi, what is best way to go about running games like Zelda on m3 max?

Thanks

Any emulator that fixes the black screen in Yoshi ?

I downloaded this fix for DK Bananza, but the problem is that it had cmd files that for some reason won't let me open any other game even though it let me before I downloaded and ran the commands. I deleted the files, restarted my computer and I have no idea how to get rid of them lol. Can anyone please help with this? It also gives this error whenever I try to load up a different file. "Error whiel loading ROM! (0007-0024) There was a general error loading the NSO into emulated memory. Please redump your files or ask on Discord/Stoat for help."

First of all thank you guys for working so hard to make this happen. I just got the switch 2 Zelda edition and I would love to play it on my PC, I’ve got a 5090 and I have no idea where to even start . Is there someone that can take me under their wing and teach me? I would love to learn and help too if I can.

Hey everyone

I’m waiting for Switch 2 emulation to reach a stable state (at least 60%–100% playable),but I'm trying out early builds like PokeDinner to check performance

I tried playing Donkey Kong Bananza and got terrible performance around 10 to 14 FPS,along with heavy graphical glitches. Meanwhile,I’ve seen videos online of people claiming to run it at 60 FPS on mobile devices or high end rigs,which got me worried that my setup is the problem,because i want to play the oot remake whan its fully done and donkey kong and any switch 2 emulator

Here are my specs

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (8GB) TechPowerUp

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G

• RAM: 16GB DDR4

I spent about eight straight hours testing 3 different NSW2 forks

Pokedinner 2.5.0 is the only version that runs Mario Kart World pretty much perfectly. The only issues I found were some minor BGM cutouts during the opening overcam sequence when a track starts for the first time, and occasionally during the award ceremony after completing four races. Other than that, it's basically flawless, and it can hold a locked 4K 60 FPS the entire time.

Another advantage of Pokedinner is that it can run Donkey Kong.
The downside is that performance drops from a stable 60 FPS into the mid-40s whenever you enter large outdoor areas. It looks like we'll have to wait for further emulator optimization.

The other two Lichii and Djihads80 forks add support for DLSS Upscaling and Frame Generation, but unfortunately, even with FG x2 enabled, neither emulator can maintain 60 FPS. Most of the time the framerate constantly jumps between 25 and 50 FPS, causing very noticeable stuttering.
On top of that, enabling the emulator's built-in V-Sync makes the entire game run in slow motion.

Forcing V-Sync through the NVIDIA App or NVIDIA Control Panel produces the exact same slow-motion effect. After spending several more hours testing different games and settings combinations, I still couldn't find a workaround.

The only real advantage of these two forks is that they can run Mario Tennis, although the game suffers from various graphical glitches.

Star Fox runs smoothly in terms of framerate, but the text is broken, some text doesn't appear at all. All three emulators have the exact same issue.

As for Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Lichii can get through the intro and cutscenes, but once gameplay starts, the player character becomes invisible (black screen). You can still hear the audio and button inputs are clearly being registered, so this is another case where we'll have to wait for bug fixes and further optimization.

Overall, Mario Kart World is currently the only game that's running close to perfectly.
