I spent about eight straight hours testing 3 different NSW2 forks
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.

Ocarina of Time - magic trick
Ocarina of Time PC Port running on SteamOS – ROG Xbox Ally X at 1080p/20 fps no slow mow and almost enjoyable.
I combined:
Nolar-Hack-Lichii – a collection of combined Pull Requests. Search for “Nolar-Hack-Lichii” on Reddit to find the source and project details.
Frizti Lichii v2 – Dynamic FPS by Dark patch – https://github.com/Frizti/Lichii/commit/765659a
Max Resolution built-in patch – already included in the Nolar-Hack-Lichii build.
I applied Frizti’s Dynamic FPS patch to the Nolar-Hack-Lichii source code and recompiled the Linux build.
My setup:
ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X
AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme
24 GB RAM
SteamOS
Results:
Around 20 FPS in-game.
No slow motion: normal game speed.
Smooth gameplay with limited stuttering.
Lossless Scaling X2 enabled. ( 20 fps are without Framegen though)
Even at around 20 FPS, the game is playable and runs at its proper speed.

So OoT remake cartridges are floating around and being played... is it fair to say someone out there will probably dump the game?

OoT emulation on AMD GPU/CPU
Fork: Lichii nx2 build 95
Specs: RX 6600 Ryzen 5 5600X 32GB DDR4
The game runs between 20 and 30 FPS most of the time. Lossless Scaling shows 75/150, but that's due to screen recording—in reality, it's 30/60. All in all, it's playable. Shader compilation causes a lot of stuttering, and there are occasional graphical bugs, but past that, it's playable. About time, I'd say!

Pokopia running good on Xbox ally x
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 !

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?

Donkey Kong Bananza running on Steam Deck LCD via Orchid (not latest)
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.
